CAS ~> Dizzy
Don't ask why, just know that I'm doing it.
My question is, whenever you DO convert to Dizzy, what are you supposed to do with the alternator bracket? The stock FC tensioner bracket rubs on the Dizzy pretty badly. So, should I get the 1st Gen's bracket or what?

Megasquirt ECU..
Needs to get spark from somewhere..
Liquid you can hack up a stock ECU to control your spark, and the MS unit will control everything else. The ECU becomes a dummy and still puts out spark signal..
PM renns. The man has setup two RX7s using this method.. Very informative and nice guy.
.. Or did you say that because you've already looked into the other method that I mentioned?

Black13B's on the nose. I have a standalone FUEL comp, and I didn't have to drop a grand to get it.
However, Black; all of the people I've talked to who are using the MS in conjunction w/ a stock ECU are driving S4's. My S5 ECU without a lot of the things I want to get rid of on it, will go into limp mode. I'm pretty sure it cuts the ignition after a certain RPM.
Plus... I'm all about simplicity. The fewer wires, the better... but carb's are crap compared to a tuned EFI setup.
And for everyone else... a pic I just picked up from the fastest TII thread. I believe someone said it was a ompany-owned FC, tuned by Crispeed...
...what an idiot... running a dizzy... psh :roll:

How different are the ECUs between S4 and S5? I'm sure theres a way to substitute your S5 ECU for an S4 considering there will only be a few required inputs for the ECU, everything else will be running up to your MS unit.
There must be a way to make it work.. Are you still using that stock electronic MOP or are you premixing or..?

Haha.
Man, I hate it when stereotypes are right, FC owners are just cheap bastards. A thousand dollars is not very much in the scheme of car modification. You drop at least $400 on tires, which are consumable, and you're saying a one shot $1000 investment (Even less now from what I've been seeing.) that will give you a fuckton more flexibility than a carb, and will drive better is expensive? Give me a break.

I guess to clearify I'll give a little more detail as to what I'm putting together.
1989 GTU, Streetported N/A 13BT using the S5 13B rotating assembly, using a ported 13BT intake manifold until a tubular manifold can be afforded. 3.5" CAI, tuned RB header with a 2½" exhaust. MS for fuel with 460 primaries and 550 secondairy. For the ignition (most likely until MegaJolt comes out) I'll be running a 12A Dizzy with a direct fire setup (DLIDFIS?).
The car has a full interior, (this will be driven often) but it's lost some weight; no P/S, A/C, Emissions, Bumper Reinforcments (I'm re-thinking this one... it IS being driven often), towhooks, etc.
My only goals for the car arn't anything grand, I just hope it doesn't explode, and can hold it's own in a variety of agressive driving.
Just wanted to try a few new things.

Setup.
Your setup sounds pretty cool, however it doesn't seem very logical, in my opinion of course. rather than save and have an intake fabbed up etc (Which would probably net you fairly marginal gains comparitively), why not go with a nice efi and controled spark system in the first place. Yes, the megajolt could be nice when it comes out, and the megasquirt is very functional but as most people have noted in the past, a standalone is only as good as its tuner. Why not drop the extra cash and get somthing now that will be flexible to whatever needs you may throw at it, and be able to precisely (spellings off on that I know, but it's late.) control timing advance and retardation as needed. No hate on your future setup, but it's certainley not the route I''d go.

I'm well aware of what Direct-Fire is.

And funny how you say it's stock... I've been thinking about actually using the stock leading coil for my setup.
