For Megasquirt enthusiasts and seasoned auto tuners, accessing real-time engine data is crucial for optimal performance and diagnostics. Now, with our innovative module, Ms3 Can Communication To Obdii is seamlessly unlocked, providing a new level of access to your engine’s vitals. Imagine connecting any standard OBD-II reader to your Megasquirt MS3 and instantly viewing critical parameters like RPM, TPS, MAP, and coolant temperature. This breakthrough is now a reality!
This module bridges the gap, allowing your Megasquirt MS3* ECU to transmit OBD-II data via the CAN bus protocol. This means you can leverage the vast ecosystem of OBD-II compatible tools and devices to monitor your engine’s performance.
While this module is a game-changer for data access, it’s important to note its current limitations. It is not designed to bypass or fake emissions tests, and Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are not yet supported. The focus is purely on providing real-time data for performance monitoring and engine analysis.
The module currently supports a comprehensive set of essential data parameters (PIDs), including:
- RPM (Revolutions Per Minute): Monitor your engine speed in real-time.
- MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure): Observe intake manifold pressure for accurate tuning.
- TPS (Throttle Position Sensor): Track throttle input and response.
- CLT (Coolant Temperature): Keep a close eye on engine coolant temperature to prevent overheating.
- IAT (Intake Air Temperature): Monitor the temperature of incoming air for optimal fuel mixture.
- VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) (MS3 only): Track vehicle speed, available exclusively for MS3 systems.
- Timing Advance: Observe ignition timing advance for performance tuning.
- AFR (Air-Fuel Ratio)**: Monitor air-fuel mixture for efficient combustion and performance.
- EGO Correction (Short Term Fuel Trim)**: Observe real-time fuel trim adjustments by the ECU.
- Barometric Pressure**: Accurately measure barometric pressure (requires a baro sensor in your ECU).
- Knock Retard**: Detect and monitor knock retard to protect your engine from damage.
** Note: Features marked with double asterisks require an OBD-II device capable of reading extended PIDs, such as the ScanGauge-II.
The possibilities with OBD-II connectivity on your MS3 are truly expansive. Consider these powerful applications:
-
Compact Gauges with ScanGauge-II: Install a ScanGauge-II for a clean and efficient display of up to four key engine parameters simultaneously. This provides a dedicated and always-on monitoring solution.
-
Smartphone and Tablet Integration: Utilize an OBD-II Bluetooth adapter to wirelessly transmit data to your Android phone or tablet. Popular apps like Torque Pro can then display and log a wealth of engine information, providing a customizable and portable dashboard.
-
Universal Data Logging: Harness the power of hundreds of OBD-II compatible devices for comprehensive data logging. This opens up a wide array of professional and DIY data analysis options, allowing you to fine-tune your engine’s performance and diagnose issues effectively.
-
Expanded Gauge and Dash Compatibility: Integrate your MS3 with gauges and digital dashes that support the widely adopted OBD-II protocol, even if they don’t natively support the MS CAN protocol. This broadens your choice of display and monitoring solutions significantly.
Get ready to unlock the full potential of your Megasquirt MS3. Pre-order your module now for $129 shipped and be among the first to experience seamless MS3 CAN communication to OBDII. After July 1st, the price will be $149 shipped, so act fast to take advantage of this introductory offer!
* Please note: The MS1 ECU is not compatible with this module due to its lack of CAN bus support.
*** Important Note on Bluetooth Adapters: While Bluetooth OBD-II adapters offer convenience, our testing has indicated potential reliability issues with certain adapters. Compatibility can vary across phones and tablets. For the most stable and reliable connection, we strongly recommend utilizing a wired connection to your ECU whenever feasible.
