> 1) URL to spec info ?

Spec info for megasquirt is at the following url:
http://www.megasquirt.info/

> 2)Fully assembled price ?

I'd sell the version 2.2 board for $200, the version 3 board for $300,
and the megasquirt II board for $400.  (about the same prices as
diyautotune.com)

The reason for the price difference is the large labor difference
between the boards.

> 3)Any chance you also have done the integration to a programmable controller tool?

The tuning of the megasquirt should be performed with a laptop and a
wideband o2 sensor.  the wideband can be found at
InnovativeMotorsports.com for a reasonable price (incl.sensor).  I
highly recommend the LM-1 (what I use).

For the laptop, I am currently using an old NEC pentium, running a
variant of linux.

In the near future, I will be installing a small computer in the van
with a 7" fold out touchscreen for general purpose use (navigation,
music, tuning, etc.).  All of these parts may be had relatively
cheaply if you don't mind using non-branded merchandise.

I'm not thinking to make any sort of business out of this, just get a
few out to the community, and shed some light on the "do-it-yourself"
ecu scene. :)
