look into the megasquirt, especially if you arent afraid of a little soldering

Yeah megasquirt's cheaper and it's a standalone.

i was doing some research on the mega squirt ecu and it looks like it does not come with a base map . ....that actually sucks...

Base maps suck. Its false security. Theres detailed instructions for setting up a MS on a rotary. It took me about 30 min to get the car running, and another few hours to get a pretty good map, starting entirely from scratch.

Just on a completely unrelated level, I've been go-karting in kissimee!

Megasquirt software is all open source, I'm sure there are many users online that would be able to give you a base map.

That "starting point" is an excuse to not put due diligence into tuning your car as well. "well, it runs well enough to drive" followed not too long after by "time for a new engine" and possibly "I hate standalones, one blew my engine."



The megasquirt is very well supported, there are plenty of people out there who will answer any questions. Theres a very detailed write-up on setting up and tuning a megasquirt, and the software is so easy to use that a little research and an afternoon or two will have you looking like you have a degree in engine management.



Dont make excuses for why you cant do it, without even knowing what it actually entails. You dont have to be a rocket scientist to do any of this. It just takes a little effort, and besides, learning to tune an EMS will teach you tons of information about how engines really work.
