The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
This forum is for discussing ignition setup, tuning, and troubleshooting for MicroSquirt (TM)

Is it possible, with MSII, V 2.2 PCB, to run a 60-2 wheel or 58 tooth wheel instead of the 36-1 wheel? I'm in the process of gathering all the parts to switch over a BMW 2002 to FI and would like to know.
The problem with doing this is that ford edis can run independently of megasquirt. The 36-1 wheel pattern is read by the ford edis module first and not MS. Megasquirt only takes the modified signal from the EDIS module for engine speed. Unless you can figure out how to modify the 60-2 wheel signal to read 36-1 to the ford edis module, you are going to need to use a 36-1 wheel.
Cool, thanks for the info! Just that it's turning into an endeavor to find a 3.5" trigger wheel without having to ship one in from England. If anyone knows of a place to get a 36-1 trigger wheel in the states please let me know!
