From our friends over at DIYAutotune – http://www.diyautotune.com/ms3-pro.html

“The MS3-Pro combines the features of the legacy MegaSquirt-3 with all available ‘expansions’ built right into a single circuit board in a sealed case. The o-ringed case is splashproof and, if you want continuous immersion resistance (the MS3-Pro displayed at PRI was at the bottom of a fish tank), it’s easy to add a bead of silicone for extra protection. Furthermote we’ve updated the power supply design to use a switching power supply to minimize energy consumption and maximize stability of operation (down to as little as 6v!). We also included the new intelligent knock sensor capability allowing for advanced knock windowing and noise threshold configuration, integrated internal SDCard datalogging with time stamping of all datalogs, USB and RS232 Serial tuning interfaces, individual cylinder tuning for fuel AND ignition timing to allow you to compensate for differentiation in flow characteristics to different cylinders and truly maximize engine output, and more!

The MS3-Pro is ready to support a wide variety of engines out of the box, with the ability to anything with one to eight cylinders with sequential fuel injection and sequential ‘coil on plug’ ignition, a V12 with sequential fuel and wasted spark ignition, or a four rotor Wankel with separate leading and trailing ignition outputs. Over 50 different ignition modes are supported, from mainstream applications like the GM LS1, Bosch Motronic, and Chrysler Gen III Hemis to unusual modes like Renix Jeeps and the Suzuki Swift GTI.

The MS3-Pro’s packaging is also a departure from most previous MegaSquirt EFI Systems. Instead of the industrial looking split aluminum case and D-sub connectors, the MS3-Pro uses a sealed high temperature nylon case for light weight and compact size, and heavy duty AMPSEAL connectors. This provides a compact and sealed enclosure protecting the sensitive internals from the elements. The MS3-Pro’s design keeps the heat generated to a minimum, allowing it to use a lighter plastic case instead of a metal heat sink.

Retail pricing for both the ECU and wiring harness will be under $1,200 and you can expect the MS3 Pro to hit the shelves by January 1, 2013!

Here is a complete list of the MS3-Pro’s features:

Hardware features:

Real time barometric correction
A/C and cooling fan control with idle compensation
Safety shutdown based on AFR or EGT input
Sequential shift cut and air shifter control
6 General purpose on/off or PWM inputs

Although the current MS3-Pro is a universal, wire-in ECU, DIYAutoTune.com expects to follow up with several plug and play variations for 2013. ”

Of course we have had our hands on one already and have been very impressed with our unit so far. We should be getting some of them in stock shortly, stay tuned for pricing and additional information on this exciting innovation in the MS world!
