what have been the higher numbers of horse power that you guys have seen with the mega squirt ECU's
i have a 91 miata with my own turbo kit the runs great but it don't have enough fuel
so i cant really get on it that much i was thinking about getting the MS stand alone for it but i wanted to know whats the highest numbers you guys have seen on this unit
any input would be great
and thanks in advance

Blue Turbo, The MS does not limit hp. It is not a Voodoo Box, or PCpro. It is a full standalone and will meet whatever hp goals you throw at it. Of course as your injectors get larger, MS may have a tough time controlling them at idle, but it doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone here so far with using 550cc/min injectors.

trying to find out some info and you gotta talk smack.
if the ECU is limited to a point of tuning how does it not have to do with the HP,& fuel
im just trying to find out what the higher number's seen using that ECU
but thanks for being rude

If it can control a 1000+ hp studebaker then it's enough for me.

Here's the deal: For any given turbocharger setup on any given engine, you need to be sure you can throw enough fuel at it. On a lot of setups (Voodoo, PcPro, eManage, AFPR, etc) there is a limit to how much fuel that device can deliver. Either it can't achieve enough fuel pressure, or it can't control injectors above a given size. Because of that, the fuel delivery system becomes the limiting factor on how much power you can make.
With Megasquirt, there is no limitation whatsoever on the size of injectors you can run. You could have four 1,000 cc injectors on the two main channels, plus another set of four 1,000 cc injectors as secondaries on the WI channel. That setup would give you enough fuel to do about 1,400 HP at the crank, which is more than you will ever be able to achieve with any turbocharger on any Miata engine. In other words, the Megasquirt is not the limiting factor.
My personal advice? Read: http://tinyurl.com/23w8uk

ummmm......what the hell are you smoking? since when doesn't the MS allow more HP to be produced? granted his original question can't be simply answered because there are far too many variables involved. but to state that HP goals aren't limited by the ECU shows much "ignorance".

[qoute=patsmx5] your fuel or hp potential isn't limited by the computer.[/qoute]
Ok, then we agree?
Yea.
Ok, you got me there. In the context of miatas (you know, what we are talking about, miataturbo, etc), any particular standalone ECU is not gonna 'limit' hp, which is an odd statement. Better said maybe they don't support it, as in they can't support some aspect of tuning that would be required above a certain parameter. I'm pretty sure any standalone ECU for our miata will be fine for his car without limiting his HP.
No, I give people a hard time when they deliberately FAIL to use an form of grammar or ask a question that is elementary, or in his case all of the for mentioned. This ain't miata.net, we don't spoon feed everybody that can't do ANY research on their own.
To make this useful, blue turbo mx5, go check out a website caled DIYautotune.com. They sell MS's and have a lot of great info on them. There is a lot to learn for sure. I don't know much about them either, but I'm learning. Look for the "megamanuals", they're like the bible on MS.

but we aren't in school its the net and people understood what i was trying to get at
thank you (joe perez) thats what i wanted to know thanks for answering
i wanted to know if the computer was good for big power with the fuel elements
350 to 400 is a great number for a miata
thanks
seth

Uhm, BlueTerbo, have you ever driven a car which made 450 HP and yet weighed only 2,100 lbs?
In all seriousness, what is your intended application for this vehicle? If it is anything other than a pure dragstrip-only queen (or maybe a Bonneville Flats runner) then I'm sorry, but you're nuts.

he wants to be able to tell all his friends he has 450hp.
i was in my daily driver the other day. stopped to get gas. the attendant asks me if it's a monster miata. dumbass asked because it's striped. I tell him no, it's basically stock as far as the motor goes but i have another at home that makes over 300 to the crank. he then starts telling me about his Monster Miata with a chevy big block. Now to look at this guy you can tell he would never be found in anything other than a domestic and certainly not something as gay as a miata. he continues to blather on about the car. then he says its got 900hp to the wheels! Next he says its a 6 second car! Then he says its street legal! Then he says it's a 99! I left there knowing my daily driver is most likely faster than anything he drives (except maybe his Harley).
