Im starting this setup in a 7mgte supra as we speak. im gonna be puttin that motor in my truck soon and if u can give me any type of feedback on that motor with ms thx |
Re: MegaSquirt and Coil packs?
The most bullet proof method would be EDIS with either MS-1 or MS-2. Second best would be running any waste spark coil pack directly from MS. MS-1 will do it for sure with Extra code. Not sure about MS-2. MS-1 with Extra will also run COP in a wasted spark configuration. Also remember it now has a wheel decoder so if your setup has a stock crank sensor it probably can be used without the hassel of installing the 36-1 tooth wheel from the ford setup.

Re: MegaSquirt and Coil packs?
yea, but the advantage of the ford setup is its popularity. Finding all the calculations for dual cam sensors on toyotas and ---- is a bit out of your average enthusiasts reach. There is a section in the msII manual that gives you everything you need to setup the ford system.

Re: MegaSquirt and Coil packs?
You can't use the wheel decoder with EDIS, but you can run wasted spark. I've installed about 5-6 Megasquirts on mates cars now. Not done much tuning of them, but i'm familiar with the hardware options.

Re: MegaSquirt and Coil packs?
the ford edis is a wasted spark setup

Re: MegaSquirt and Coil packs?
Using an MS1 here with SnS-Extra firmware on an Ford 2.3T I added EDIS to. Works real nice ;)

Re: MegaSquirt and Coil packs?
For what it's worth I build megasquirt boxes and I have run BMW Coil on Plug motors in wasted spark with COP coils successfully using 6 680 ohm resistors, 6 VB921 and 3 spark output signals.
