Actually...yes.

I currently use my phone in the cupholder, but I do roll around with my laptop open on the passenger seat quite a bit. Planning to work a tablet in eventually for fulltime gauges, logging, nav, and music use.

Many aftermarket radios are running android and can use the same apps a phone or tablet would.

A Racepak IQ3 display, or logger can read the serial stream out of the Microsquirt. The IQ3 logger will give you speed from a gps sensor, if you have the extra money to shellout for it.

Or the AIM mxl can be easily hooked to the CANbus output for gauges.

Then there are the many factory European car dashs that will display the data coming from the Squirt CANbus. Granted, this is a much more complex project, but many are doing it.

I'd also like to say that having an MS setup wtih bluetooth is f'n awesome. I was used to the mess of wires with EFI Live and an LM1.

Now it's open the laptop with TunerStudio running...start the engine...voila. Connected and tuning/logging.

Can you guys provide a base tune to get a guy headed in the right direction? Would you recommend something like this or fast xfi for a beginner?

Mike @ efi source has my base tunes

E85 turbo 5.3 with 80lb injectors and 80mm turbo
Gasoline version of this (fairmont tunes)

and a base tune i loaded with stock injectors and stock everything including 1 bar map to bench fire motors, but i never had a wideband on that, but it does fire and run lol

he can load them and i also have them in my topics, check out the microsquirt thread in my signature for how to and tunes available for download.

Mike just emailed me asking for my 58x start up tune so he will have that to offer for those who are swapping in the newer engines...

it comes with EV1 connectors, he sells plugin adaptors that swap it to ev6 for an additional 30 dollars i believe.

or you can cut them off and put on whatever injector piggy you want

but yes.

it has the new style map sensor plug for the stock 1bar map, you could pplug and play a 2.5 bar zr1 style map or buy an older style 3 bar map and pigtail from him or anyone else and throw that on too and then read up to 30lbs of boost

then yes the tuning software for a laptop or computer is free from Tunerstudio for Megasquirt based ECU's wich this is
Wow that's awesome. This is going to be a huge hit and swaping to an ls motor just got alot easier. I have to laugh when I watch some of your vids and you talk like wiring something up is a cake walk.
Trust me, Its not a cake walk to everybody.
Thanks for the info.
