The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
A forum for discussing topics of particular interest to those running MegaSquirt in Australia and New Zealand, including parts sources, group buys, etc.
Hi, i'm building an esky, 2l pinto, gsx600 tb, 36-1 with falcon vr, v6 commodore air and watr temp. need ideas on which coil packs to use either twin wasted- spark or quad setup. I was thinking vp commodore wasted spark but i havent got down to the wreckers yet to see if i can run 2 only without the back plane..
what are the other aussie 4cylinder setups and which ones to avoid
Four cylinder Ford Mondeo have good coilpacks - more reliable than Hyundai coils. Otherwise you could use four 'plain' ignition coils eg. Bosch HEC716.
1984 Ford Falcon 250ci inline 6 MS'd of course!
Now improved the way Ford should have built it with a 4speed automatic.
Also with 3.45 LSD for added goodness.
If you are hitting your head up against a wall it always feels better when you stop.
thanks. just ebay'd v6 commodore wasted spark setups. read some sr20 guys using same. nice and cheap. run a large plug gap which should be good for a bit more spark.

Thanks Long283, I was going to use 4 of them to run a v8 so I needed to to know which is switching and 12v+ on the bottom of the coils. With the info you provided I should be able to work it out with an old module and a multimeter.
