Go to the Megasquirt DIY site. http://www.diyautotune.com/ It will run the Trooper right out of the box but you will need to fine tune it. You really don't do any programing, you just adjust settings and the site has all information required to do it. You will have to do some reading to get up on things but its all there and you will get a great education on engine management. You will have total control over all aspects of engine management including being able to increase the rev limit to what ever you want. Megasquirt is the least expensive system out there and is highly respected.

I used the MS3 with the MS3 extra card giving me sequential injection. I used a wasted spark but the MS3 extra allows for sequential spark if you use logic coil on plug spark coils. They may have changed the ECU models by now and maybe the pro includes the extra card. It is worth it and $1200 is about right. You will have to go to a wide band air fuel ratio sensor along with some GM engine temp sensors but not to much extra stuff. Its mostly being willing to read their stuff which is rather extensive but very educational. You are currently tuned for best fuel efficiency and emissions but with the Megasquirt you will be able to tune for max torque and HP. The pro looks like what I had but bunched together on one circuit board and with additional improvements. The Megasquirt forum is just full of knowlegeable users willing to help in any way they can. If you are running a turbo, I can send you a copy of the tune I used which might be close to what would work for you. It could give you a starting point anyway. I also have a very detailed schematic of my complete setup I could give you. This would help save you a lot of head scratching even if yours is set up a bit different.

Hi Lenny.

I think im going to get a ms3-pro in the next few weeks it would be great if I could get that tune that you used and schematic And any other tips you might have for me.

I would like to know how much a programmable ecu with proper tune could gain in hp on a stock motor. I am really contemplating doing it. I would like to keep my trooper NA, but I want more powa!

Don, I will get that to you when I get a chance. Remember, mine was supercharged so there will be differences. Basic wiring should be very similar.

2scoops, I would think that you could get another 15 hp out of it with a programmable ECU. However that would only be if you first opened up and matched the ports. That alone could add maybe 15 hp so with a new ECU and that, that could be as much as 30 hp. It will require a good dyno tuner to tune it for max power. My first dyno guy got me 76 hp at the wheels and said that that was about it for this sized engine. Then I found a good tuner that got 130 hp out of mine.

      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]

      Trying to get running a 550 Colman running but I think head gasket went bad. Do i just replace with new gasket, clean up and replace or is there more to it?

      Help Please!
      Last year my Mule started running bad and was hard to start. NOT a battery or starter problem. I replace the carb with one of those cheap Chinese carbs from Amazon. Problem got worse. So, I replaced the fuel pump, one from Kawasaki, fuel filter and lines. Then replaced the fuel pump line to the engine. Finally bought a Kawasaki carb. Everything was ok till I filled the gas tank with fresh gas then it started running bad and hard to start again. The tank is clean. Gas is fresh, AGAIN. Filter is new. When running it has an occasional misfire. Managed to burn about a gallon out of the tank. Runs better. Replaced the gas cap in case it wasn't venting. No change. When running, if you try to go full throttle, it bogs down. The gas is good. I use it in my mower with no problem. The stater was replaced about one year ago and the flywheel cleaned inside. Still seams like a fuel problem but I'm at a loss. It's going back to the mechanic shop today. We use the Mule every day, live on a farm. It's never sat up. It has 1045hrs on it. New battery and starter.
      Any ideas?

      I’ve been searching for a windshield with no luck so far. Apparently, “Curtis” is an aftermarket cab on my Gator. I haven’t had any luck finding info through them, so I’m posting pictures in hopes someone here can help. Specifically, I’m looking for something like a Gator XUV 550 vented windshield — does anyone know where I could find one or have suggestions for a similar option? Thanks!
