Has anyone come across a good software to emulate an engine? I am trying to learn how to use our Megasquirt ECU and I heard that there is software that I can use to "tune" an engine, and it will tell me if I am doing it correctly. Anyone know of a good "Free" program?

I've never heard of one.
There is a Megasquirt accessory you can buy called a MegaStimulator. It is another pcb that simulates an engine; injector lights and all. Chances are you have one lying around, as it is recommended you get one when you build your MS to test it. |

Yes, Chris is correct. The Stim can tell you whether your MS board is functional or not. The software to tune the ECU is called Megatune and is completely open source.

I have megatune, I was hoping to find a software that allowed for a simulated engine, one that I could adjust the VE table, and spark advance, given simulated sensor input, in order to learn the process before attempting to tune a real engine, since it costs less to break computer simulations. I just figured that there would be some type of simulator. Thanks guys!

This is what the MegaStim is for. To do engine simulations on a PC I would suspect you'd need a pretty high bandwidth interface with the ECU; something like a CAN connection or Parallel port. |
