Introduction to the MegaSquirt® EFI Controller

Start here if you are new to MegaSquirt® EFI Controller, this contains important background information.

How the MegaSquirt® EFI Controller Works

This section contains fundamental information on how the MegaSquirt® EFI Controller works, and how it doesn't.

MegaSquirt-II™ Processor Upgrade

Here is information on the MegaSquirt-II upgrade daughter card.

MicroSquirt™ EFI Controller

Here is information on the MicroSquirt® EFI controllers.


MS-II Sequencer™ EFI Controller

Here are links to information regarding the MS-II Sequencer™ fully assembled ECU that can do sequential injection and individual cylinder fuel and spark trim.

The V3.0 MegaSquirt® Main Board

This section contains the information on the V3 main board.

MegaShift™ Transmission Controller Code

The MegaShift™ transmission controller code is for the GPIO board from B&G. This can control up to 8 forward speeds and eight shift solenoids (plus a 16x9 table for controlling a PWM line pressure valve). It has manual and fully automatic modes (16x9 load x speed table), with under and over rev-limit protection, 'paddle' shift buttons, and full data logging of all inputs and outputs (among many other abilities). See the Introduction for many more of MShift™'s functions.

    Tuning Your MegaSquirt™ EFI Controller

    This section explains how to configure and tune MegaSquirt™ on your engine.

  • MS-IIFUEL:
  • MS-IIIGNITION:
  • MS-I™ (fuel only):
  • TunerStudioMS

    TunerStudio is Phil Tobin's version of a tuning application for MegaSquirt®. It provides the ability to configure and tune all MegaSquirt® controllers.

    The tuning parameters available depend on the code and the associated INI files (not the tuning software), so the same descriptions applies to all tuning softwares.
