Search there about it then. You'll find an account there under my name.

Also, MS1 has shitty fuel output pulse resolution due to limitations in the code. Also there is a big problem with lack of map resolution. Like I said... I LIKE it WHEN it works, and on cars that aren't pushing any limits. I've had it NOT work and gotten poor tech support. I have tuned a LOT of cars where MS wouldn't cut it.

I think I should also mention that it has so many plug-ins and add-ons it makes Crome look good.

By the time the average enthusiast has assembled, troubleshot, and researched the quirks of a MS they could have worked at McDonalds for a twelfth that time and earned the price difference between it and a used AEM unit. At that point they only have to learn how to tune - big whoopty-doo.

QFT, I just did a MSnS on a Mazda 323 that was and is still being a bastard. What styles of ignition have you used Joey?

Three wasted spark (one DSM, two Miata), and two distributor setups (86 Accord, and 5.0 Stang with stock TFI).

Did you have any misfire issues with the disitributor setups? Changing the coil dwell time doesn't seem to do ---- all for me.

Yeah, the TFI setup is the one that I have the problem with. After a certain rpm it just breaks up. There's no proper dwell table to tweak, it's crap.

this is why i hesitated to do MS.

i show up with a 32 bit toyota ECU, fail horribly and have no tech support, now i'm stuck with a tuning computer i don't know how to use, with no help because hondaheads are gonna say stupid ignorant ---- like "should have bought a civic" and i can't drive my car.

---- that.

i went with hackshit that i knew i could make work, and for the most part it is. i'm gonna try out water injection next to help out my little IC.

MS had trouble keeping up with V8's that weren't running a wasted spark set up.

That was their initial stigma, that it was a fine unit for budget four cylinders, but just didn't have the speed to fire properly for double the cylinders.
