You like to modify your vehicles. But modifying the engine means re-tuning your fuel and spark which can get expensive. If you want the most control over your fuel and ignition tuning while spending as little as possible, you probably want a MegaSquirt. Or a MicroSquirt.

I'm installing a Megasquirt MS3 Pro on my CBR1000RR motorcycle engine. I've also put a MicroSquirt on my CBR250R engine. I'm going to talk about both of these setups, how to wire everything up, and some of the challenges. This will be especially helpful if you're trying to aftermarket ECU your motorcycle but will be helpful on car installs as well.

    This man is out here providing an entire lecture AND a comedy show FOR FREE.

    I just watched the whole video without: - a motorcycle - any understanding of what is actually going on - a desire, need, skillset or time to do any of the things described in the video that's what I call entertainment
  • @IrishSpyHD60
    "Then wire them up in the order they fire in. This was very easy on the 250 single." You absolutely had me 🤣
  • @zaqqumkitchen
    I wish more people were creating content this good. Really clear, really concise, and the easy-to-mistake details clarified.
  • @BUILTOFFICIAL
    "you only have to read 7 pages... I'm just kidding you have to read all 300" 😂
  • @niall21
    No one could come up with the geeking out over mosfet designs on a saturday night unless they had done exactly that lol
  • I've been modifying motorcycles for the past 51 years. This is one of the clearest video's I've ever had the pleasure to watch. Complicating a carb to injection modification.
  • @benphilippi9325
    I remember seeing megasquirt when I was building my car around 2003-2005. Back then they were very basic DIY schematics . Great to see how far they've come.
  • @onefastslimjim
    God I'm thankful I found this video, I really needed some help on getting my ECU to turn on a little red light on Wednesday afternoon at 4 PM 🙏
  • @thefreedomguyuk
    Carbs does not suck ! The engine does. It the engine sucking air through the carb. The carb does not in itself suck ! Love your style, glad I stumbled upon you today. Duly subscribed !

    I went with a speeduino ecu. $160.00 for a miata na. Good programable ecu with tons of support and an alternative to mega squirt.
  • @petehalasz7547
    Just came across your video.. I must say,,,, absolutely beautiful explanation. I'm a licensed mechanic for over 40 years and I started to cry of happiness.. Great humor, and moderate detail..as you well know, you could go for days on just showing measurements of thousands of sensors.. my son and I are pondering on installing a megasquirt 3pro on his V-12 jag.. I'm trying to figure out a pulse ring both for the crank and cam so I can install DIS and full sequential on all 12.. Great job 👏 👍.
  • @whatsstefon
    The time it took to watch this, I rebuilt a carby and started the bike.
  • @bengibson3955
    Hey Matt. Thanks for producing such great content. I’m tossing up spending $$$ on a software solution to retune a stock Ford ECU but the adoption of a MegaSquirt system just sits better with me-even though it will be marginally more expensive initially. Bugger access and licensing costs, I want to be able to do what I want, as often as I want. Your awesome walk through this process makes me feel way more confident. Love your delivery too-I remember watching Jay Leno struggle to keep up with your dry wit back when he checked out your S600.
  • @DR-lw2do
    This is one of the best videos I have seen on YouTube. Thanks Matt! I love how Matt made this video for his previous self to answer all the questions and issues he had along the way.
  • You're giving me motivation to build my datalogger again, and also making me realise I don't have a firm grasp on how ECUs time, which I thought I did
  • @laserdad
    I have been wanting to dive into MicroSquirt, but wasn't confident, since most videos say they are going to show you how to do the complete setup, only to end with getting an expert to finish the tune. Your video actually explains both types of controllers. You seem like a great guy to hang with. I love your dry sense of humor.
  • @electronsmove
    LOVE all your videos. Great work. I was thinking about using one these to make an older car fuel injected, just for fun. Even with my background in electronics and industrial controls this sounds like a lot of details to sort out. And this why some people prefer to use the "almost correct for most situations" carburetor.
  • @darkhorse5932
    Got my ms3 with the expansion card already built in and the harnesses few months ago all for under $1000, far cheaper than others I looked at by a long shot, and the tech support through the company, community forums, are outstanding.
  • @knowbull5hit590
    Probably the best video explaining whats needed/how to go about wiring up an MS product, thank you for your help
