Can someone explain to me why Megasquirts are so expensive when there are smartphones with more tech and power in them while being $200-400 cheaper?
I feel like they're overpriced because they know people will still but them

Megasquirts are /o/ related you retards

Why don't you start your own fuel injection ECU app and put megasquirt out of business, clearly you know more about the costs of developing and producing their product than they do
>>
>>14680202
small batch economics. if you arent selling them in huge quantities you have to mark up the price to pull a profit. smart phones are sold in the millions, how many units do you think megasquirt moves? how big is the demand for big fuel injectors? not big i can tell you that
>>
>>14680309
Also development costs they need to claw back.

shut the fuck up you cuckhold.

ooo the star of the faggot fuck show is mad

How do you intend to use your phone as an ecu?

Just build your ecu out of a raspberry pi.

That`s clearly a mongol.

They're cheaper than every other stand alone management system.
Get an MS1 if you don't like the price of the MS3x

To be fair, they're not that great.
I think they're great for what they are (a budget ECU) and they work just fine. But they are limited on the features they have.
For example they don't have:
separate cold, warm and hot maps
dedicated idle map
transient response map
barometric correction map

They do kind of have these features, but they just run a correction off the main fueling map.
And to be fair, no DIY'er would be able to populate all those maps anyway.
Unless they had an the engine running on an engine dyno inside a climatically and barometrically controlled test cell.

Your questions is a technology question that's related to cars, NOT a car question related to technology.

It belongs on /g/


FUCK OFF

>>14681052
Yeah.
This is /o/.
We post pictures of cars we've never driven and then argue about them.

>>14680309
Pretty much. Though the high $495 price of a Hondata S300 is keeping me away from it for quite a while. It'll probably be one of the last things I buy for my car.
