DCCD controller installed
Well svxfiles pointed me towards a do-it-yourself DCCD controller on Nasioc... I took a look and then purchased the $30 kit... Built the chip-board and began the nightmare that was wiring... Stumbled across a short but all is well as far as I know right now.
Link to Nasioc thread w/ all particulars Instead of buying a DCCD scroll wheel, I wired the controller into my dash dimmer switch for easy adjustment on the fly. My dash lights are always on full blast anyway so I left them that way. Still need to take closer measurements but right now it is set to a decent setting that I do not think will cause any issues with overheating the coil. I will really only be using it at the track and on the dyno. Finally that tranny is worth more than just burnouts Tom |

We will be interested in how it works and what you think of it.

Nice! Now, why don't you start wiring up MegaSquirts for the masses

Tom: AWESOME idea with the dimmer switch. I love 'stealth' mods like that. Kudos to you!

I personally have no need for a standalone because of LAN making the stageIII. The JEcs has a 16 slot load plot versus the 8slot for Megasquirt... I feel the Jecs system was made for precision and Megasquirt for easy tuning

By Jecs do you mean the standard ECU?
In my situation, the extra smarts of the Jecs doesn't facilitate more power, nor a better driving rally car. In my view, for JECS it's all about the emissions...which I'm not so concerned about. I'd consider a Motec or Autronic but again, the tuning function is harder. The megasquirts autotune function is pretty impressive. We were able to do a complete installation and tune it on the road in about 2 hours. We went to the dyno and just played around with some settings which only netted a few more HP....the road tune was that good. Matt |

Precision is your friend... Thats why I would rather the Jecs(stock ECU) over the megasquirt... Believe me, sometimes ease is better but not when it comes to getting the best bang
