Thanks for taking the time to do that write up mate
I wasn't aware the digifant system was so tuneable! I thought it was quite limited to what can and cannot be changed
I didn't know you did all the wiring! Like you say, took you hours!! To be honest I wouldn't want to do that as I would worry about wiring it wrong
but I guess my mate managed to get it built as megasquirt ecus are quite a common mod for mx5's
Yeah! It was great fun messing around with stuff, seeing how it changed how the car behaved, could spent hours messing around with it
Again my mate was lucky enough to be able to download a basic base map for his mx, so had a good starting point to work from
You say digifant is quite customizable, but you need all the gear to do so, whereas just plugging your laptop into megasquirt to see how things are doing. He has version 2 and it was so easy to wire in, sounds like it's come a very long way from what you experienced
You say about the idle control loop, does the digifant ecu have larger parameters to work with then?
I think the main thing I got excited about was instantly smoother his car ran after a few hours play, cold start, warm start, throttle sensitivity from having more resolution for ignition advance (smaller increments of advance under more throttle load situations compared to stock ecu
No leaning out at high rpm, all those sorts of things, non of which power related, his car just ran a thousand times better in everyway, and that's with two noobs at the end of the keyboard
I can't imagine how much better mine would run after a tweak, runs like such a bag of shit with the mods
What do you think mate? I'm a bit put off about wiring it in myself to be honest. And your well clued up on this, think it would be much harder for me to suss it?
Whats this about switchable maps on the g40?
Thanks again
Taylor
