I have now talked with one of the main gurus that have helped design the VEMS and he claims it will work with siamese, they have even done it on a car. They used a large injector and fired at an open valve. |

thats correct, and there is a guy that uses it on his mini in Norway too, but it wont work for performance. |

It is a piece of piss to get any injection system to 'work' an a-series.

How are you going to get it to work properly without access to the code? Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Keep us updated. I am a MS fan but my mind is not closed to alternatives. I must admit that the "goodies" are interesting..... Every day is a school day ...........

Oh, forgot to add that one thing I DO NOT like abot MS is the lack of automotive grade connectors, and using computer D plugs. I alwasy was going to do that differently when looking at the MS.

According to this http://www.msefi.com/viewtopic.php?t=24765 there will be a Megasquirt solution that will have about the same hardware features as VEMS but with more potential on the software side. That will be interesting but I'm not holding my breath since Megasquirt have had a history of dragging on with the release of announced products.

Most problems arose from the Prolific USB converters and their drivers, but even now that seems to be less and less common. Be warned though matty, you will apparently have to retune if upgrading from the firmware level you are on. Edited by Sprocket on 8th Apr, 2012. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

Vemstune is awesome. No longer with the Megatune rubish. When you do get the Vems box, Upgrade right away to the latest firmware and Vemstune, before you start tuning for your engine. You won't have the head ache of upgrading from a tuned engine, like Matty and myself. I need to retune for the turbo anyway, and have been learning all the new features and different methods of how it was done with Megatune. Colin, In fairness, those of us using MS haven't used Megatune for over two years - it isn't capable of handling all the recent features from the MS firmware so we use TunerStudio or MegaTunix. I don't want to re-ignite any debate about VEMS vs MS, I suspect they have both come a long way in the last two years, but Megatune probably is "rubish" with VEMS as you put it, as it is "rubish" with MS as well but that's two years history.....

Rod. Precisely. Development for Megatune was dropped so very long ago, as I'm sure you can tell by the forced 800 x 600 screen resolution of the software so that old school laptops could use it. Since MS3 and MS3X has come to the market, I think it really is the tuning solution for the masses, offering true flexibility and a strong community to back it. I mention MS3 only as the earlier revisions of Megasquirt left a little to be desired, with you often having to home brew a solution to a few issues that crop up, especially with Siamese injection. However, a lot of people prefer the ability to modify the circuits, but it's nicer to make the choice for yourself whether you wish to make those modifications or not, rather than having your hand forced. In comparison to VEMS, which I did research briefly a couple of years ago so I am by no means an expert on it, quite the opposite in fact, it seemed quite 'closed door' with regards to how diverse you could make your final solution for your car, including a VEMS unit. |

I am having trouble getting my USB adaptor working, but to be honest I didn't try for too long. I need to retune completely anyway, as ive now got my high level boost sensor, so the scaling all needs to be changed to suit. Im running Rover IAT and water temp sensors, Ford TPS. The boost sensor in the VEMS one. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel
