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.

Sounds like a good idea Kendall. It's been a bit hard to do anything of late, my Son has been a bit crook and he's a bit needy. Get's it from his Mum!!
We should probably make it for a few months time, to give people a chance to see it's happening.
Prior preperation and planning prevents piss poor performance
spent the morning at the dyno. No surprise the top bins were way out, bottom end wasnt too bad though. Added a bit more timing. AE was good. Made 103hp

Sounds like it's going pretty well. How did you end up connecting the coils? Did you use the backplane or just the coils on their own?

My final setup has the coils mounted to the factory backplate, cut down for 2 coils. The factory backplane/electronics was removed and all the snot (what is that). BIP's are mounted to a new backplate with a 22uF cap and reverse diode. Factory wiring connector is used.
I did have the coils directly mounted to a plate. Whilst tidy, the durability of my coil connections extending through the mounting plate was suss. The BIPs were in the MS housing also which may have contributed to resets I was having.
Much more confidant the new setup will be more durable + no more resets.
