AE25 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Interested to see how this goes. Haven't personally seen speeduino used as an engine ecu etc. Usually megasquirt or mainstream ecus. Id just make sure the ecu can work with the particular sensors and the trigger wheel lobe count. I have a few 2tgeu spares if required. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its basically just a cheaper, more frequently updated, Megasquirt these days. Cool project, looking forward to seeing more progress 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few 2tgeu spares if required. I’ve got Max putting the guts of a blacktop 4age dizzy into the 2tg dizzy at the moment so that should sort triggers, 2tg injectors run a resistor box so need to find some injectors that don’t need that. It looks like the Speeduino is similar to a megasquirt. I’ve been watching tuner studio videos to get my head around that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 You'll be fine using the dizzy triggers. So many Japanese cars did just that with no worries. Are you going to run full sequential injection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to run full sequential injection? That will depend on what coils we find kicking around I think. We may end up with wasted spark purely based on there being free coils in the shed somewhere. Max comes from the days of importing series 1 RX7s from Japan cut in half and welding them back together again, so there is a bunch of amassed stuff between his various sheds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I have some VR4/Evo coils if you wanted to run them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxy is a bit of a hoarder/hotrodder/tight ass so I'm pretty sure he will scrape something out of somewhere, but good to have a backup plan.

yoeddynz Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Those speeduinos offered by kiwi efi are a bloody bargain for a built up ecu with a decent plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good plug, good case. I was originally looking at building one, but didn’t think I could build one for the price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 How much are the kiwi efi speeduino units? According to the website they’re on holiday so prices aren’t listed currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice high-quality automotive plugs and an alloy case 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost not worth buying and making the kit unless you want to do it for fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARDRB Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Yeah that was what I was thinking after looking at the different models. My time to assemble it, test it, find out it wasn't working and reassemble it wasn't worth it. That price includes a $40 VR conditioner too, so $335 without. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87creepin Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 You could probably save a hundred dollars making it yourself but set aside 3+ hours depending on skill level i don’t enjoy soldering so it would probably take me half a day at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GARDRB Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 This is the case and plug, didn't realise how affordable they were https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005916179052.html 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead96 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Following this as im thinking of going this path with the piazza later on. Are their basemaps for the 2tg or are you starting from scratch when it comes to the tuning side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller tells me that he's loaded a base map onto the ECU, I wouldn't be surprised if it's 4age based and he's set it up for my sensors. So it's not completely from scratch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
