I'm a complete newbie to all of this but basically I want to know:
What I need to run a Chevy LS1 5.7L generation 3 engine on megasquirt
Where do I buy the parts for the ecu
Is it possible to download an standard map just to get the engine running
Is there anything else I need to know?
Cheers!
EDIT: I've found this but of course, it doesnt make any sense to me really at the moment: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=122976

Welcome to the Mega-Squirt world, kit.
The learning curve is steep. Installing Mega Squirt is not going to be a week end driveway project.
These Forums are a good place to start. Read the forums, you will notice they are listed several subject headings. Try to address your question to a specific heading. Then continue reading here, http://www.megamanual.com/index.html. Then all the items on the side bar.
There are several approved vendors on the forums, who sell complete kits and provide great support. When you ask a question you will receive an answer from a vendor or a fellow forum member, usually with in a day, although weekends can be a little slow.
There is not a standard map to down load. in the Configuring Mega-Squirt-II manual you set the constants for your engine. Then in the Tuning Mega-Squirt-II you tune all the parameters to your engine.
REMEMBER, the more you read the more all of this will start making sense
