Yep, and you can even have it communicate with the ECU over CAN, which is incredibly fast.

That PnP Link is pretty pricey... They seem to be pushing a lot with advertisements these days, but I just didn't see any real benefit over an AEM Infinity 506 when I put a new standalone on my SW20.
It had a MS PNP (MS2 based), and the thing was horribly unreliable. I had 3 hardware failures in the MS within ~6 months. I got tired of constantly troubleshooting the thing and being faced with a many hundred dollar repair bill that rivaled the value of the unit with constant failures. I also wasn't a huge fan of the MS software, or the limited functionality. It felt like I went back 20 years on hardware capability. MS3 is a tad better, but still lacking some basic functionality (DBW control etc., can't remember if it does onboard lambda). Haltech is interesting, but also kinda pricey here compared to AEM's street pricing. My dealer discount made the AEM a clear winner again, plus I've been using an Infinity for over 6 years at this point. The software is pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it.

I’m not a big fan of how infinity doesn’t let you see trigger scopes.
Haltech is solid, but they definitely give you less options when it comes to configuring your I/O’s and triggers. MS2 is definitely lame, the Link software is the most intuitive one I’ve used, and I’ve been in Haltech, Infinity, and MS3pro.

Why don’t people like the NismoTronicSA. Cheap plug and play and can control everything most stand alones can do. It’s only short fall is probably some of the fail safes the nicer ones can do. But hard to beat for the price.

So I'm just gonna ask, is anyone messing with the MegaSquirt at all? I have been looking at those because the price is nice and it seems to be a decent unit but I don't know anyone running or tuning one. Just got a 1995 180SX (3 weeks ago) and am sorting it out but bolting on things here and there and have been trying to determine my Engine MGT for it and the MegaSquirt has what I (think I) want for the price.
All the best, e

Someone mentioned ECU Masters on the first page and it was breezed over. I am no tuner or competitive racer, but I am thoroughly impressed with my ECU Masters Black for the price with my street car.

Here I?m Australia, it?s Haltech, the local guys. I?ve just ordered an elite 15 with the patch harness kit for an S14A, simplicity with expansion for all the goodies.
Support is probably one of the most important considerations, both from the manufacturer, installer and tuner, so many small bits to get together and correct. And it?s surprising how much variation in wiring schemes there are over the SR20det across various chassis... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I recommend: Haltech, AEM, PFC (+ arduino for control), HPtuners
I avoid: megasquirt, not because megasquirt itself sucks but more because the setup involved confuses the owners to the point where every car I find that has a megasquirt needs 100 things fixed to work properly with the megasquirt, and I enjoy TUNING vehicles not FIXING them just so I can tune them ten years later when everything is finally sorted. |

Haltech elite 1500 arrived today, amazing tech, and I can now appreciate the modularity, which brings complexity, but it?s there for a reason, like the wideband expansion.
Watch Al?s vids from the skid factory for all the why, from LS to a little four cylinder like the SR. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

For example, the patch out cable is the same across a bunch of models, with just a plug connector to specialise. Or you may choose a full harness. Not everyone wants 8 EGT sensors, or an e-dash, or even a wideband. Also, if the wideband sensor able gets fried on the exhaust, which happens, the main ECU does not short out, saving lots of $ We customise things, and don?t mind a modular Wastegate example.

Ordered my G4X plug in today. Should be here in a couple days and I’ll take some pics of the install with expansion harnesses.

Wow! Everyone is getting ECUs! Those links look really nice . Good job on the wideband.
I haven?t got the wideband kit yet, will come, also planning on fuel and oil pressure sensing amongst other additions. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Nah its just plug and play.... Out of the box it supports all of that....
All the sensors sold have the female ends to attached to it and very well documented the pinout. They have expansion harness, but I will just add onto that with extensions to the actual sensor. Truthfully, I want to thank Sammit from Youtube, I jumped into Linkecu seeing what he has done with his skyline. I think I am going to start a LinkECU thread too to just put up information about sensor wiring diagrams and install.

Huh, I figured i'd have to get a full engine harness built and wired for all the extra sensors i would want to run, which is what I had to do with my aem infinity setup.

I've been using a lot of this stuff for heat shielding lately. https://www.designengineering.com/heat-sheath-gold/ I'll ask, but I think mine was in-stock at the US Link branch. The shop I used to work at was the biggest Link ECU retailer in America in 2019. Quote:
BTW: I was told by the tuner at Whalen's that the OEM trigger disc isn't super consistent, especially at high rpm. He recommended the DIYautotune 12-slot trigger, so I snagged one. Shipped in one day!
