Megasquirt Mega questions

[captaingamez]

so I have been researching megasquirt for DAYS and not found the info i am looking for.

 

if I am trying to run a distributorless system, How would I get the correct crank angle signal to run coil on plug, or coil to plug,  from the crank and eliminate the distributor, and also run the megasquirt system off of that crank trigger.

 

I have a 1981 turbo motor with the pulley mounted CAS, but I read that these are not useful for MS, is there a way to make it useable on MS?

 

just in mass confusion right now.

Which engine do you have?  81?  Not many turbo engines from back then.  MS can run basically any RPM trigger.  I've always ran the EDIS crank pulley setup but am going to start using a hall effect crank sensor instead.  Megasquirt = Mega reading on their sight.  haha  Once you get it running it's the shit though!!!!  Make sure you try out Tunner Studio!  Great program, so easy to use.  Way better than any main stream "high end" ECU interface I've used.  Plus they make it for the Mac to so we can take advantage of having a 4 hour battery life.

Not exactly thread jacking since it is related but I was wondering how you modified the crank pulley to accommodate the EDIS tooth wheel?  Also, what wheel did you use?

 

I have a Z22 crank pulley that I want to modify for EDIS using an Ford Escort crank pulley wheel but I'm not sure what the best approach is.

yea I have the rare bird 81 l28et with the crank style trigger.

 

I want to run the ford EDIS on it. I have squirt and spark extra

If I remember correctly megasquirt has a write up on edis on their sight. It explains how many teeth and angles of offset and what not. I just read it a week or so ago, don't remember anything other than a 4 cylinder its 32 teeth -1(32 tooth wheel with one missing)

The main downfall with EDIS is that it uses a VR which at low RPMs the signal is weak.  I don't know why but on the two I used the version 3.57 it seemed more difficult to get a constant RPM single at low revs.  Kind of annoying on the freeway. 

 

 

Also I like using Nissan ignitors instead of the VB921's or whatever they have now to replace the VB921's.
