As a fellow car enthusiast (on a budget) and IT guy, this is exactly what I want. I do a lot of tinkering with SBC's, mainly Raspberry Pi's, and your previous video pointed me in the direction of Speeduino and I'm already planning my build. Better yet, being Australian, it's local for me too!

AS someone who has been soldering his whole life and has built several megasquirts id like to pass on that once you finish soldering your board, use a paint brush cleaner to clean the rubbish and flux off the board, then rinse it with clean water and use a hair dryer to dry it out. Then use a good PCB laquer to seal it and prevent it from corroding, many people dont do these things and wonder why they ahve random shorts or faults that start to happen a few months down the track... Hope this helps.

Amazing to see more love for the speeduino project. There are many variants of Speeduino Compatible ECU's also. Josh allowing this to be an open source project has empowered some of us to make our own. For me it started as refining the project for my own car. This gained traction and I now design and sell my own Speeduino Compatible variants.

Yeah, people seem to love the idea and the best thing is the people who always wanted to do this but lacked the money or technical skills to do it themselves now can get tuning...

This is a complete game changer for engines like the 1ZZ, which had previously not been economically viable to tune, thanks to the exorbitant price of standalone ECU's, as you could just do a 2ZZ swap for the same money. But now good 2ZZ's are getting thin on the ground, and you can get 3 or 4 1ZZ's for the same price.. well, this just opens them up to all sorts of modifications. Hayabusa throttle bodies, and forced induction spring instantly to mind. Bloody marvelous :-)

I'm only the first four minutes into this, but I'm delighted to hear it's based off the old megasquirt project. I built a mega squirt, and a test thing for it and everything else and really wanted to use it but... This was early 2000s and it turned out that modifying my engine versus putting in that brand new LS1 motor was the same price, and I dropped that in instead, using the factory ECU and harness. So I never ran my mega squirt on anything but I've always wanted to add fuel injection to all kinds of small engines and I do a lot of Arduino projects so this is just awesome. Looking at this about the only thing I want to change is to get rid of the Arduino and just SMC solder on the processor and everything so it's just one board but... I get it is what it is. Definitely something cool and worth looking into

Im excited for this. I talked to a friend a long time ago about using a raspberry pi, recycled dell optiplexes, and a 3d printed case to make cheap standalone APUs for cars and custom vehicles in general. We also talked about a scan tool that invades a ecu or tcu to monitor and download as much info from a stock unit that would be needed to allow a program to recreate it and upload it to your custom unit. This would allow for true freedom when doing cool builds. Allowing someone to cheaply swap a 6 speed auto into a car that originally came with a 5 speed auto. Has something like that popped up in the market yet? I know nissan was working on a diag tool that did something similar but i left the company that was working with them so im out of the loop now.

I have enjoyed your video quite a lot, your presentation method is entertaining and the information you present is quite accurate for the most part! There's two things that aren't quite it. Early in the video you talked about the different mega2560 board versions and their clock crystals, these clock crystals are for the serial chip, not for the mega, the one with a 12mhz is a ch340g and can be used just fine. The mega with a 16mhz big crystal has an atmega16u2 as it's uart chip and is generally recommended because you can flash a custom firmware on it to make reset behavior more suitable for a car ecu. Both the ch340g and 16u2 equipped boards run at full 16mhz. On my Samurai project I've had issues with random resets caused by voltage spikes which was solved by removing a capacitor that was there to let the ch340 reset the mega. Another thing, you forgot to mention that people should load the speeduino base tune so that all the properties have some sort of a value to prevent any unexpected problems because someone left a cell at -255. Otherwise great work and I'm looking forward to seeing your next video!

I think you know quite a bit about the port air module delivering fuel loads based on constants. That's why you weren't saturated with the incoming MAF temp. I would like to know more about how with the engine hood closed air temp provides a more accurate fuel flow. Cool fuel air is always the best input. I really like the viability of taking a scratch board and making the interface better than the 90's. I wanted to build my own ECU once I understood that changing chips on an older model board cost me a lot of time based on recorded data. I would rather adjust everything then and there aside from a non-it-drive me home burn rate. I'd want to commandeer a carb built in and branch it to multi-port and when no chugga chugga I know that a carb could bypass the gross negligence that I did on my own.

I have a couple of Motorhomes, both near the same YM, one is powered by a 350 and the other is as far as I can tell, a 427 industrial or truck version, both Chevy engines both are running Qjets at the moment. Ok so I have a 3rd BBC which I have dumped a $^*t load of money in and still have to dump more into it, it's a 540 which will be a race rig if I live long enough. Anyhow, for the 540 project, I dumped another load of funds into a MS3X with everything needed to run 2 stage fuel and 2 stage N20. COP, SFPI, dual knock sense, RTCC, 2 low impedence injector driver boards, a GPIO for controlling a 4L80E, there's absolutely NO room left in the case for anything else even if DIY made anything else that could be installed. So now I have to spend more for the full version, not a problem, I expected that. Then there is the MSQ file that must be developed, that's a problem for me at this time, I'm going to need some serious support for that. Again, anyhow, I knew a little ( very little and still very little) about Speeduino before starting the MS3X system and now I want to have a go at this to convert both or at least the BBC powered Motorhome first. IMOP I'm thinking this would be a good deal for either engine. Any opinions to offer from anyone?

One other thing I thought about is what is being said about the 12mHz crystal. I know from past experience ATmega chips have been over clocked to 20mHz for certain projects. If in this case 12 is a bit slow, and 16 works better, what would wrong with going to 20mHz.

I saw your last video. I have a 1992 Audi UrS4. It had the engine rebuilt and after 8 Grand! On a Aan OBD 1. And not done after 3 years. I had it towed to a quote top notch Audi specialist? Everything this guy said was 1000.00? All I wanted to know was if it had been rebuilt? He took me that it needed a new ECU, battery and it was showing low oil pressure? He said I don't have the tool to remove the oil pressure sensor?. After 2 grand to get it running. Oh if you really want to drive your car. You'll need a new oil pump? It stayed there for a few months. I tried to scrape another 1000. Bucks together. I couldn't. I finally got towed home. The front bumper is missing and the right side cat. And pipe to the exhaust. Now I'm done with these great mechanics. I'm just going to do all the work on my car's from now on. You make great videos that inspire! Thanks again

I'm putting a 5.3 in a 1950 studebaker pickup right now to throw together as a shop truck and to tow my cars to tracks. Now I'm leaning towards speeduino just to try it...if I get addicted I'm blaming you. I see there's options to run 8 injector and 8 coils on a newer version of speeduino that uses the teensy 4.1 but can't find info on how to get any of it. Maybe I'm blind. Great video!

Yeah, blame me... I’m fine with that! 😂😂 You can upgrade to Teensy, and you’ll need to find a rarer board for that, but for a shop truck, a batch fired and wasted spark v8 would do the job just fine! I mean it’s only since the 90s that OEMs have gone beyond that, and that’s just for emissions.

@@MakingforMotorsport truuuuue. I just don't want to have to tune around that haha. I've done batch fire tuning on the early 90s corvettes and it was absolutely awful. Maybe it was the TPI intake manifold design that I hated, the rear 2 cylinders would always be way too rich so I ended up changing those injectors to a lower flow rate to compensate for that. Makes me cry on the inside thinking about that. I have a teensy 4.1 still in the bag I never opened to play with it.

Haha yea. This engine is going in completely stock for now because I have the original harness ECU and DBW throttle body. Seems like the processing power of the teensy would run circles around a GM ECU from 2006. Might just do the cam while the engine is out and try the speeduino if I can get my hands on the board for it. Hp Tuners credits to tune the stock ECU are more than half the price it costs to build a speeduino haha.

very well explained. So after someone stole the ecu and its connectors from my car this would be a good and cheap option considering the prices of the original ecu ... my question is, would it be feasible to make it for a v6 engine with 4x4 automatic transmission ?..It has been a headache looking for the original parts of an already rare vehicle in its variant only made for Latin America (it's a 2008 Suzuki grand vitara)
@MakingforMotorsport
@MakingforMotorsport 3 жыл бұрын
The V6 is feasible but the auto-trans will have integration and being 2008 I would guess there will definitely be canBus integration… Whilst not impossible I’d say using a Speeduino without the standard ECU to go from will be much more of a hassle than finding another OEM part… I could be wrong, just my opinion… There may well be another aftermarket solution which is easier than Speeduino, but it won’t be just plug in and play…

Came across this great video, whilst trying to find information on adding a Speeduino to a Classic Mini Engine. Watch your previous video but did not realise you were a Mini enthusiast :-) Not many videos around on this, so thanks. I'm a complete beginner (first engine build) so will need to do lots of learning. Starting off with a non boosted engine running a HIF44, then once run in I'll be slapping on a Weber DCOE45, then once I have it sorted out probably switching to a Supercharger with the Weber. Wasted Spark ignition not EFI, thought I could do this with CPS and MAP only to start with?

@MakingforMotorsport Жыл бұрын
You can run wasted spark on a 3D management with just Crank and Map using SpeedDensity mode, just ignore the fueling part. I did the same on my car for years. It’s only when you bring fuel in do you need the other sensors like Coolant, IAT, TPS etc… Best of luck! 👍

I'd like to build a speeduino and use it on my mk1 cortina- a total blank canvas for an efi conversion. My main questions are for ignition, what can I use? Wasted spark, COP and what is better for a fast road tuned road engine. I'm a fan of the channel and have recently bought a revopoint pop3 based off your reviews.
@MakingforMotorsport
@MakingforMotorsport 6 ай бұрын
Ignition is an interesting subject….to get the benefit you need to ditch the dizzy, it’s simple and easy but the accuracy is bad… Job one, crank trigger wheel, either 36-1 or 60-2, being a Cortina I am guessing it’s a x-flow so kits are off the shelf… After that I would run wasted spark as there is no extra sensors needed and the coil packs are dirt cheap and are easy to adapt with some specific HT leads… especially with where your spark plugs are… COP has advantages of tidier build (no HT leads), stronger spark and in full sequential longer potential dwell time, but, you need to find the right length, and support the coil end, and in a x-flow that’ll be hard to do and look a dogs dinner… What’s “better”? Big power DOHC turbo engine? COP. For a fast road X-flow? Wasted spark is all you’ll ever need 👍

@MakingforMotorsport thanks for the detailed reply, I think you're right about wasted spark. I doubt I'll be running forced induction (never say never!) And wasted spark will be a stronger spark than the standard electronic dizzy it's currently running. A cam position sensor will be a pain as I don't want to use the current distributor as that can move over time and putting a boss on the timing cover could cause another oil leak! I'll hopefully start doing the fabrication for it later year after I've finished my 5 speed conversion. Would it be ok if I ask you some more questions when I start?
