MS PNP 1, can it be upgraded?
So, I just took posession of a brand new in the box pnp MS1 as part of a package deal. Can I upgrade this thing or should I just sell it off and buy an MS2 pnp or one of reverands/braineacks units? Any thoughts on this? I am leaning toward just selling it...and buying another unit.
This is for a dedicated track car btw. I am not up on all the benefits of the newer MS2 system and whether they are even necessary. If, however, I can spend a couple of hundred more dollars now and feel comfortable that I have all the options at hand the first time around, I'd rather take that route. I'd rather just sell this now as a new item rather than use it for a while and sell it later as used. One thing I see on the MS2 is this: •Input for flex fuel sensor - switch between E85 and gasoline on the fly! I do like that option...I am currently E85 only. I also like this...(being a software guy) •CANBus connector allows interconnection of other MegaSquirt-compatible devices for additional functions (EGT Input, Automatic Transmission Controller, Additional Sensors.....the possibilities are limitless! This means I could theoretically write my own controllers or sensor hardware as well Thanks |
without pictures of the unit its hard to determine but as a gerneral answer:
yes it can be upgraded to MS2 by popping out the processor and dropping in the MS2 as well as changing around a few of the board mods. (when needed) |
The MS1 MSPNP is a MS1 V3.57 at its core - so you could remove the processor and put in an MS2 daughter card. You will need some jumper wires changed around as well so it's not just a "unplug MS1, plug in MS2" upgrade.

Specific number on box is: MSPNP MM9495 v1.01 rev C
I am comfortable with the soldering or I can have a technician here at my office do it....sounds like that might be an option then. I actually have my own half built MS1 that I got to the point of powering up and COM communiation and then never finished...there were too many damn options of how to configure...the soldering was the easy part... |
So MSPNP1 is a V3.57 and MSPNP2 is a microsquirt, iow MSPNP1 could even be upgraded to MS3, but not MSPNP2?
