Megasquirt v2.2 HELP NEEDED

[tm99hot]

Hy to all,i am a mechanic from Romania,and i have a Bmw with modified engine(1,8 is...to 2.0l is(16v dohc),turbocharged)and my stock ecu can t manage this engine,so i need a standalone ecu that can manage a 4cyl engine.I have buyed a megasquirt pcb v2.2,it is right for me this pcb,i ask this because i am a beeginer in tuning,i mean in ecu area,but it is never to late,,so does this ms v2.2 acomplish my needs?thanks

An MS1 V2.2 is really something I'd only recommend if you were on a very tight budget and only needed to control fuel (or needed to control one of a handful of very specific ignitions, but there aren't any BMW examples, and that is covered on MSExtra.com). Is this a fuel-only setup, or did you need ignition control too? What sort of BMW engine is this?

Hello Matt,yes i am on a low budget,the engine is am m43 wich was an 1.6l,with a forged crankshaft from a 1,8 tds bmw,cylinder head is from a m44 engine(1.8 is) with timing chain and everything needed,forged custom rods and pistons,it is a 2.0l engine dohc 16 v,with 9.0-1,turbocharged with a t4,i plan to run on 1bar of boost,but the main problem is ecu management,because it does not have a map sensor,so i have decided to make my own ecu,so i will need to control air-fuel and ignition timing,i was reading that ms1 v2.2 is capabile to control ignition with some sort of diy module.
i have crankshaft am camshaft sensors on this engine(with 3 wires,i don t know if it is hall or vr,)
i need informations to configure my ecu step by step.thanks

I would rather at the very least start with an MS1 V3.0. Using these for ignition control requires MS1/Extra code, which has a separate support forum at MSExtra.com.
