I'm installing a MicroSquirt system.
This thread IS NOT A MS/SDS/Carb DEBATE! If you don't like MS please leave. I'm tired of the endless, worthless debate. Anyway, now on the the fun stuff! I am using the TPS off of a Volvo 850 because it's a Bosch sensor (I like sticking with OEM manufacturers when possible), fits the D-shaft throttle and is appropriate for MS. I made the adapter plate today. Attached image(s) |

Re MS and going distributorless, there is apparently some board in development that would let you fire up to 8 injectors and plugs on their own. In my mind this becomes a very efficient, very nifty coil on plug system. The injector thing is cool, but you're really only getting benefit at low RPM (primarily low temp, even) because your injectors are open longer than the valves at the top end.
Anywho, I would have linked the page but I couldn't find it. Does anybody know any more about this than I? |

Actually you can do coil on plug quite easily with the megasquirt. You dont need the extra board either. You can take the Ford EDIS module, and instead of having it run coilpacks, it can be wired to run coil on plug. It is still running a wasted spar system, but instead of having 1 coil fire 2 plugs, now you have 2 coils firing 2 plugs.
