ok, on glens garage, there are several assembled MS boards. are these turn-key (so to speak)? i know there is still the install, but would i still have to match components? i just don't want to assemble a board if i don't have to. i am looking at the MS II v3.0 ecu.

i want to delete the stock AFM, use a 2.5 bar MAP sensor, use the IAT offered on the site, bosch injectors, stock coils, and the MS relay board. this is all for an 87 t II btw.

would the microsquirt be just as good for me since i don't want to build a board?

 

Unless the turn key units also offer a 2nd VR circuit, you will at least need to add that to your board. And the pullup resistors for the ignition.

 

so that is where error*'s daughterboard comes into play (for v. 3)? i think i finally got it. sorry, i am like a monkey disarming a bomb when it comes to circuitry. the FAQ post was too much info at once. i just had to process it all.

 

yea, you need a bit of time to let it all sink in... and then need to confirm what sort of sensors/actuation all the stock equipment gives/expects to recieve. I built the 2nd VR circuit in the proto area on the V3 board, along with the extra resistors and whatnot to signal the stock coils. If you want the board/think you need it for convenience, then get it, but the stock setup on FC's is pretty straightforward and can easily be fit inside of the MS casing.

 

i think that i may want the extra outputs that come with the daughter board. if not now, i will expand into them. thanks for the input. it has been a lot of help

 

Even preassembled, there is almost no such thing as a turnkey megasquirt. You will almost always have to do minor mods to control ignition no matter what the car is unless it is a distributor or EDIS setup.

haha, did someone get their doors blown off by a MS powered convertible?

 

i will admit that. i did blow the doors off of the black MS3 though.

really, i was looking at the rtek and it didn't have what i wanted, so it was either the MS or the haltech. i am a cheapskate, so i am looking into the MS. you gonna help me tune since i can't find Fred? i heard that you have some maps.
