Watch out for fakes on eBay there is a lot of Chinese copies around very very poor quality pcb's and grey market parts!!

The issue with Megasquirt really lies with the fact they're an "open" platform... They can be made into a relatively capable ECU, will do all the things you need by simply bolting things on HOWEVER - There's no proper standard to be adhered to and therefore mappers want to steer WELL clear of them, it's often very difficult to prove there's an issue actually with the ECU or Engine - naturally the owner will blame it on the mapper, the mapper will blame it on the ECU...

If you're doing it all DIY - go for it, but don't expect to recieve mappers wanting to map your Megasquirt homebrew system.

That's fair enough ruan, it's to be expected..

Yeah this would be a 100% DIY type thing, I'm lucky that my brother does metal fabrication though.. that'll help with a few things

There's plenty of mappers around that will do them, but yes, the fault finding trail is where it gets tricky. However you can build a stimulator with a waveform generator on board so you have some basic confirmation of functionality.
