107, Megasquirt - Spark Success!
Posted by MrSlick, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
For more details see this post:

I posted the news there a few days ago, but basically I now have the Megasquirt running full spark and fuel control on my car. using the factory Crank Position Sensor.
This is very good news for the 420A community.

I'll post more later. Ask away with any questions.

Howdy,

Well I've been selling built MS units for a while now...
But I do keep on working on my setup as new features and settings are released :)

I'm very happy with the way the car is urnning right now...
I'm running 20psi daily... and it rocks.

Peace.

wow that's the icing on the cake! damn man good job on figuring that out. so for right now, what is your desired total timing control? i'm thinking 20 degress of total timing while boosting would work. but i'm curious how this is done. never the less this defintiely beats anything out there for us now.

So that basically means that the MS has become the cheapest stand-alone EMS? Nice, I'm glad I got on the boat, now Mr. Slick, you have PM. :)

slick again congratz. with the timing from the ms, is there still a need for the crane ignition? also i too would like to know how much. hopefully christmas will come early this year... :) if you cant suprise yourself then whats the use....

Just so everyone knows, this is about as big as it gets for the 420a in my opinion. I mean, I thought it was huge when you could slap a turbosystem on the 420a, but now, to slap a standalone (fuel AND IGNITION) that controls everything and uses most of the stock sensors....wow.

And to top that, it only costs about $300. DSMlink...psssht. This is awesome! With full control of fuel and ignition (retard), there's really nothing stopping anyone from boosting 25...30 + psi. BIG horsepower here!
116, RE: Megasquirt - Spark Success!

Yes this is very good news for the 420A community... all of it. ;)

It's comething I've been working on for a few months now and finally it works. It's awesome, the potential is amazing.
Basically you can program you complete ignition advance map, using a 12x12 table just like the fuel side of things.

I think I'm going to be charging $310 shipped for the Megasquirt setup for the 420A, for both spark and ignition. Or still charge $285 shipped for the Megasquirt setup for Fuel only.
I'll probably start offering the ignition modules for sale that are needed to drive the stock coil pack also.

If anyone has any questions, please post them here so that everyone can learn from it.

The next thing to work on is Knock Detection using the factory knock sensor. ;)

with all the stuff that you are working on are we even going to need the stock ecu? sorry for not knowing alot about this side of things

Well the circuit design and software are already in existence.
But I need to build the circuit, and test it with the 2gnt knock sensor to see if it works. ;)

Yes, this is definately big news. Maybe now I'll finally see someone from this board (and others...) at the shootout next year in Q16 other than HRC.

Is it possible to use the MS spark control with my AEM? So I don't have to build a crank trigger wheel? I should of bought this in the first place.. :wallbash

Thanks's hombre.
If you want to add the stuff to your MS it will need modifications.
You can do them yourself if you can solder, or you can send it back to me and I can make the mods for you. ;)
There will be a fee of $45 for the mods including ground shipping.

I prolly send mine down. i want this BAD.

I haven't been on the board for a while, but, great work!!! It's good to read about such a positive advancement for the 420A fuel/ignition control options. Although there are a few setups out there, to come up with a total fuel/ignition system that is also affordable by the average Joe, is commendable. Congrats.!

Let me know.

hey i'm kinda also interested, but first right now, i want to see the full potential on the 8-injector mod. if it works out well seeing 25psi boost on a dyno with good a/f and timing readings i guess i'll stay with it. i'm not really going beyond 410WHP. let's see i'll let you know as well.

why 8 injectors when the mega squirt can handle just about any injector size? FULL FUEL AND IGNITION, omg this is amazing and the price to boot.

8-injector setup can kiss my ass imo

well i already have it and nobody have really tested the full potential of it, so i wanna see what it can do. i'm sure if it can handle what i want then there's no need for the MS. i have 675cc of fuel per cylinder which is plenty enough for me.
