Re: [DML] Megasquirt Fuel Maps



If you read the Megasquirt forum, simply downloading someone else's fuel map doesn't seem to work very well, even when the installation is otherwise identical. The guy in Texas who is trying to develop a bot on kit, using Shannon Birdwell's car as the test bed, is having ongoing problems using Shannon's fuel maps on somebody else's car. Of course Shannon's car still isn't 100%, so that might be part of the problem, but even as far as Shannon's car has gotten, the other car runs worse on Shannon's same maps (or so he is publicly reporting).

At least you don't have to get your hands dirty! Oh, and you don't have to worry about certification. The best part is once someone gets it done and done well everyone can benefit from it with just a download. IMHO if I had to get rid of the K-Jet, Mega-Squirt (or something similar) would be the way to go.
