I noticed in the one picture he has two MSD Blaster II coils mounted horizontally. I originally mounted mine that way but have not fired the engine yet. I was told the coils would short or blow up. Is this car running? If so, how long has he had it on the road?

the distributer is probably an msd one? Alot of puerto ricans do this to control spark while they have some sort of fuel computer that only controls fuel. nice looking setup would be interested to see how it goes for him. what sort of turbo is he running.

My brother is the first documented Ca18det in the world to use Megasquirt, he also has megaview which will replace all of your guages and put onto a little LCD-like screen, pretty badass for around 400 bucks.
Yep, the for the map sensor, all you do is have a hose from any intake manifold vacuum source to the ECU. If I remember, don't quote me on this, it can read up to 25 psi, and the mods to make it read higher are simple.

Most PR'icans run the Haltec F seiries ECU (fuel only).

I just got off the phone with the tech dept. of MSD Ignitions. They confirmed what I had been told before. The 8202 Blaster II coils must be run in a VERTICAL position. They are oil cooled and running them horizontally will cause an air bubble to surround the wiring, overheating it, ad eventual failure. Tell your friend he should move the location to one that is vertical. I must also do mine and I agree it is a real pain. Better to find out now though than later.
