Are you running a Megasquirt MS2 or MS3 ECU and looking to expand its diagnostic and monitoring capabilities? Now you can seamlessly integrate OBD-II functionality into your Megasquirt setup with our innovative module! This breakthrough allows you to tap into the wealth of OBD-II compatible devices and software, providing real-time data and enhanced insights into your engine’s performance.
Real-Time Engine Data at Your Fingertips
Our Megasquirt Obd2 module bridges the gap between your powerful standalone ECU and the universally adopted OBD-II standard. By connecting this module to your Megasquirt MS2/MS3, you instantly gain the ability to access a range of crucial engine parameters through the CAN bus. Imagine plugging in any standard OBD-II reader and instantly viewing live data such as:
- RPM: Engine speed, essential for performance monitoring and tuning.
- MAP: Manifold Absolute Pressure, reflecting engine load and vacuum.
- TPS: Throttle Position Sensor, indicating throttle opening and driver input.
- CLT: Coolant Temperature, critical for engine health and preventing overheating.
- IAT: Intake Air Temperature, affecting air density and engine performance.
- VSS (MS3 only): Vehicle Speed Sensor, for accurate speed readings (MS3 ECUs only).
- Timing Advance: Ignition timing, a key parameter for engine efficiency and power.
- AFR: Air-Fuel Ratio**, vital for optimal combustion and emissions.
- EGO Correction (Short Term Fuel Trim): Real-time adjustments to fuel delivery based on oxygen sensor readings.
- Barometric Pressure: Ambient air pressure, used for altitude compensation (requires a baro sensor in your ECU).**
- Knock Retard: Indicates engine knock and timing adjustments to prevent damage.**
Please note: While this module provides extensive OBD-II data access, it is not designed to bypass or manipulate emissions testing. Currently, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are not supported.
Expand Your Diagnostic and Monitoring Horizons
With OBD-II enabled on your MS2/MS3, a universe of possibilities opens up:
- Compact Gauges with ScanGauge-II: Utilize a ScanGauge-II to display up to four real-time parameters simultaneously in a clean and integrated display. Perfect for monitoring critical engine data without cluttering your dashboard.
- Smartphone Connectivity with OBD-II Bluetooth Adapters: Pair an OBD-II Bluetooth adapter with our module and stream live engine data directly to your Android phone or tablet. Use popular apps like Torque to create custom dashboards, log data, and monitor performance on the go.**
- Universal Datalogging: Leverage the vast ecosystem of OBD-II datalogging devices. Record and analyze engine data using readily available tools, streamlining your tuning and diagnostic processes.
- OBD-II Compatible Gauges and Dashes: Integrate gauges and digital dashes that support the widely adopted OBD-II protocol, even if they don’t natively support the Megasquirt CAN protocol. This broadens your choices for in-car displays and monitoring solutions.
Important Considerations:
- MS1 Incompatibility: Please be aware that the MS1 ECU is not compatible with this OBD2 module due to the lack of CAN bus support on MS1 systems.
- Extended PIDs: Features marked with ** require devices capable of reading extended PIDs, such as the ScanGauge-II, to be fully utilized.
- Bluetooth Adapter Reliability: While Bluetooth adapters offer convenience, our testing has indicated potential reliability issues with certain adapters and phone/tablet combinations. For the most stable connection, we recommend a wired connection to the ECU whenever feasible.
