So I got a call from Adam @ XAT Racing here in Tampa, they are a performance shop here in tampa that specialize in imports. They installed a EMS for me that they were experimenting with called the Mega Squirt. I had heard good things about it from my guy at Stadium Toyota who put one on a MR2. So to make a long story short when i took it to them, they asked me what kinda of numbers i wanted. I was like i want in the area of 230-240 Hp to the ground he was like "we'll see what we can do, we'll try".

So i get a call back today and he was like
"Your car is ready to be picked up"
I was like "cool, but i cant come get it till monday"
He was like "cool..hey we didn't get that 240hp you wanted."
I was like what did it make?"
He was like "256!"
I was like "0 shyt!, did alot better than i expected (i cant remeber the torqe # he said but ill post a scan of the sheet)

actually... that i know of you don't have to use stock computers with the megasquirt...... i can't remember how the guys i know are setting theirs up...

but yes, it's a cheap way to do it.... the most difficult part of it all is setting up the crank sensor that the MS needs..... and from my knowledge, they're around $150 to build

If you do want to ditch the stock computer entirely, you have the option of using a distributor or going to coil packs. The crank trigger stuff is strictly for ignition timing with a distributorless system, at least that's what I've been reading. In any case, going to an aftermarket ignition system in conjunction with the MS is definitely going to give you the best in terms of power and tunability.

I may not've been clear about retaining the Toyota ECU... If you don't have an ignition solution in the works, you need to keep the stock ECU with the standard megasquirt setup, as it only controls fuel and needs input from some sort of ignition device to time fuel events via a tach signal.

*edit*
Anyone with an MS system, please feel free to PM me with any info on your setup that you'd be willing to share. I'm doing research for my own setup, and I'd like to get as many people's experiences as possible. I'm not new to ECUs or aftermarket engine managment, but my Megasquirt knowledge is fairly fresh.
