How to get instant fuel consumption from Megasquirt

This works for MS1-Extra/MSnS-E, combat proven. Most probably will also work for MS2. No vehicle speed input is required .


Data we must know beforehand:

- 5th gear ratio
- Differential ratio
- Tractive wheel perimeter in centimeters
- Injector flow in cc


For instance in a Miata NA 1.6 the data are:

- 0.814
- 4.300
- 181.4583917 cm
- 205 cc


Then input the data into this formula:

RPM = ((((100*100000)/60)/wheel perimeter)*(5th gear ratio*differential ratio))

For the Miata:

RPM = ((((100*100000)/60)/181.4583917)*(0.814*4.300)) = 3215 (this will be the magic number)


Now open with notepad the msns-extra.ini file, the path is C:\Program files\MegaSquirt\your-project-car-name\msns-extra.ini . Then choose your way ...





OPTION ONE: FOR LITRES/100KM DISPLAY

Look for this paragraph towards the end of the file:

In 'fuelCC' we must enter the injector flow, times number of injectors (if simultaneous injection). Or injector flow, times number of injectors, divided by 2 (if batch injection). For this particular Miata it is (205*4)/2 = 410 :

    gauge5 = mapGauge
    gauge6 = matGauge

Job done. Save the msns-extra.ini file. Next time you open Megatune you'll see a new virtual gauge showing instant fuel consumption in litres/100 km, something like this (increase brightness if necessary):



It will only be valid for the 5th gear, but it's precise and free.

And we add this line at the end of the paragraph:

Code:
[GaugeConfigurations]

; Extra Stuff

 mpgGauge          = mpg,               "MPG",                    "MPG",    0, 100, -1, -1, 100, 100, 1
 YGForceGauge      = YForce,            "Y G-Force",              "G",      -3, 3, 0, 0, 2, 3, 3
 XGForceGauge      = XForce,            "X G-Force",              "G",      -3, 3, 0, 0, 2, 3, 3
 MAFGauge          = MAFVolts,         "Volts",                  "V",      0, 5, 0, 0, 5, 5, 2
 bcDCGauge         = bcDC,             "Boost Control DC",       "%",      0, 100, -1, -1 999, 999, 0, 0
 idleDCGauge       = idleDC,           "Idle DC",                "%",      0, 100, -1, -1 999, 999, 0, 0
 RealDutyGauge1    = dutyCy1Real,       "Fuel Delivery 1",       "Flow",       0,   75,     -1,    -1,   75,   75, 1, 1
 RealDutyGauge2    = dutyCy2Real,       "Fuel Delivery 2",       "Flow",       0,   75,     -1,    -1,   75,   75, 1, 1 

 USMPG5thGauge     = USMPG5th,          "USMPG in 5th",          "USMPG", 0, 30, 0, 0, 10, 20, 1

;-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly we look for the ' [FrontPage] ' paragraph:

Code:
[FrontPage]

#if NARROW_BAND_EGO
   egoLEDs         = 0.0, 1.0, 0.5 ; NB settings.
#else
   ; If you reverse these range values as you see below, then the LED
   ; bar will work as you expect, high on the right, low on the left.
   egoLEDs         = 4.0, 1.0, 2.5 ; WB settings.
#endif

   ; Gauges are numbered left to right, top to bottom.
   ;
   ;    1  2  3  4
   ;    5  6  7  8

;Gauge Setup 0

    gauge1 = RpmHiResGauge
    gauge2 = cltGauge
    gauge3 = pulseWidth1Gauge
    gauge4 = dutyCycle1Gauge
    gauge5 = mapGauge
    gauge6 = matGauge
    gauge7 = afrGauge
    gauge8 = advanceGauge

And do this change:

Code:
[FrontPage]

#if NARROW_BAND_EGO
   egoLEDs         = 0.0, 1.0, 0.5 ; NB settings.
#else
   ; If you reverse these range values as you see below, then the LED
   ; bar will work as you expect, high on the right, low on the left.
   egoLEDs         = 4.0, 1.0, 2.5 ; WB settings.
#endif

   ; Gauges are numbered left to right, top to bottom.
   ;
   ;    1  2  3  4
   ;    5  6  7  8

;Gauge Setup 0

    gauge1 = RpmHiResGauge
    gauge2 = cltGauge
    gauge3 = pulseWidth1Gauge
;    gauge4 = dutyCycle1Gauge
    gauge4 = USMPG5thGauge
    gauge5 = mapGauge
    gauge6 = matGauge
    gauge7 = afrGauge
    gauge8 = advanceGauge

Jod done. Save the msns-extra.ini file. Next time you open Megatune you'll see a new virtual gauge showing instant fuel consumption in USMPG, something like this (increase brightness if necessary):



It will only be valid for the 5th gear, but it's precise and free.
