Megasquirt Burble Tune Basics | Learn to Tune

Basics to get you burble tuning on Megasquirt. If you like flames, bangs, and snaps out the exhaust on your Megasquirt / Speeduino project you need to watch this
Here is my setup
Megasquirt: amzn.to/3FX5rIg
Wideband: amzn.to/3xH3ltf
Intercooler: amzn.to/3xJAnJs
LS Coils: amzn.to/3rr1SGq
Turbo: amzn.to/32Pkt4P

[@corbincarter4411]

Thanks for the educational vid. A lot more clear information coming from this than most vids out there.

[@berserkAU]

Yo man, Thank you for this, legit nowhere has something this simple unlike your video, thank you

[@TurbineResearch]

You're welcome! Glad I can share the knowledge

[@Big_Gima]

The only thing id say to watch is on the ign table you only go down to 20kpa and there are situations when im cruzing on the hw and i could be at 19/20/21 kpa sometimes. You deff dont want to be at 0 timing when you actually trying to drive. Your ve table goes to 15kpa so your good on that one just for people watching it might be help full to re-bin your tables so this is only happening when your trying to make it happen.

[@Zubbbz]

can confirm redblocks can be made into exhaust cannons :) before i put a standalone in my 940, i could under certain conditions get it to backfire, so much so that once going down the highway i did it and saw part of my car fly off in the mirror (turned out to be a chunk of my rusted muffler. :)))

Would a subtle sorta burble like this be damaging to your cats?, im looking to do something nice and not too extreme like your local Golf R's

[@joshuaadesida]

Finally the video I’ve been looking for. Just a quick question. My Mercedes M276 tt v6 is in other vehicles with the burble tune, and I’m just wondering if you know if it can be linked with different drive modes, or in a general case, if this can be programmed for each drive mode you’re in regardless of vehicle.

[@xxmusicloverxx00]

You are a legend for this 🔥 any chance you could mess around with idle setting to make it sound more agresssive?

[@nathanaelsitumorang1]

Have you found a way yet? Is it actually possible to have antilag even on idle?

[@volvovalor8051]

I'm always about these things being foolish and unnecessary. But after I drop my rant I assign a toggle switch to a secondary ignition map for shits 'n giggles. Imagine hacking this up without something like megasquirt. This is so easy to pop in and revert.

[@samanson2001]

How would you assign a toggle switch to something like this? I have a 2018 Honda Civic and would like to do this however I've been looking for a way to toggle it and can't find anything on it anywhere

For mine it will be nothing for maybe 2000-3000 rpms and then a huge back fire no mater what the timing is, how to I make the pops more balanced?

[@TurbineResearch]

Try changing the amount of fuel in that rpm range. Less fuel and less ignition advance should calm down the bangs in that area of the map

[@_juxie2694]

so like how do I keep the burble but no flames cause I like my cats

I love learning about this. It's so interesting. To tune a car do you need to get a new ECU?

[@TurbineResearch]

For this software you need a megasquirt ECU

[@dahei870]

I've got an MS3 on my 4.6 2v, but I can't get any pops out of it. I followed your instructions and had my buddy drive the car to test my cutoff area. I watched it inject extra fuel via my laptop, and I saw my timing go as low as -15, couldn't get a single one lol. I have aftermarket cats that are set pretty far back, but maybe they are still the problem? AFR went down to 10:1 on decel, spiked my lambda sensor. 19lb/hr injectors on 11% duty on decel, with -15 ign timing.

[@dahei870]

Fixed by adding idle valve duty cycle and leaning out burble areas. Saw best results around 14-16 afr. Got my burbles now 🤣.

[@sategllib2191]

I'm about to order the ms3 for my 96 gt with an 01 Bullitt complete motor. I've been driving on a sct tune for the npi engine because the ecm refuses to tune. Easy setup? Are you learning tuning with it or have previous experience?

Looking to tune my car with HPtuners, so using this to learn more about tuning! Any advice would be great! Thanks

[@TurbineResearch]

HPtuners is a very different experience from tuning a stand alone ECU. It's a lot more complicated and you spend most of your time tricking the factory ecu into letting you so what you want it to do. It's not my specialty but there some classes you can take on it and other videos to research.

Thank you for this valuable information, but can you attach a link to download the mod?

[@malikrpelj5072]

i have few questions... so you can do this burble tune on cars with turbos and cars without turbo or just cars with turbos or without turbo. and when you want to get rid of your burble tune you just put the numbers before burble tune? am i right. thanks!!!

It can work on any IC engine essentially

[@rodrigobrasilia7506]

What if I want to hear crack, only when changing gear at high rpm rev cut? What's the simplest way to do this?

[@TurbineResearch]

Set the rev limiter to "spark cut only" and set timing to 0 deg on the rev limiter. That will make a strong pop between shifts.

I was about to say you needed to check out flat shifting but it seems ol sean already sorted you out. :p

Hello there, what software i can use to do this on my car? I am reading and writting maps via Kess V2 master, and using Ecm titanium but for Fiat punto i cant make pops on ecm. What software are u using?

[@oscarscott8353]

So I tried the simplest settings as you did and it seems nothing is changed besides the map it self, works when I run in fuel run cut as I lightly touch the throttle. Fuel run cut off, nothing happens, does the EGO controller settings have anything to do with it?

[@TurbineResearch]

It's hard to say because every tune is different but if you have overun fuel cut off and ego correction is on the ecu might be trying to pull fuel where you want it to crackel under deceleration.
