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.
ECU: Megasquirt II PCB v3.0
Engine: 4.3L Vortec V6
Ignition: Ford EDIS6
Fuel: Stock CPI
Just got this up and going yesterday. Right now its bolted to an engine stand, getting ready to go into my '83 RX-7. The engine has been sitting on the stand for 12+ months without running and surprisingly fired right up on the first crank with the base map. Idles decent too.
can you post details about your setup? or if you have a website with your project. I have a '92 S-10 Blazer with a 4.3 Vortec with CPFI and I think the PCM is about to that a crap and I am looking at going to MS if I can see how it applies to the CPFI. I would still use the stock distributor. Thanks David Clark
Sure I can get you any details you need. I don't have a website or build log though. I'd rather share on here to give back to community. I did have it running on the stock dizzy but I like the edis setup better and in my application, it gives a lot more clearance at the firewall. The easiest way to setup this is to bank fire the injectors, pull the tach signal off the crank position sensor, and direct fire the stock coil and distributor. Most of the SBC info on DIYAutoTune directly applies to the 4.3.
I would like to know more about this setup as well. I am putting a 4.3L Vortec in my cherokee and am planning on running a MS-II to control it. Can you take a snap shot of your ve table, afr table and ignition table for us. I have my MS built and am bench testing it, in the next couple of weeks I will get it installed and running hopefully.
Put me in line for that request too. A 4.3L is a common swap in the Toyota world.
I'm looking at a 1997 Vortec CPI, which has that single "spider" injector. I can handle the ignition (although maps, etc would be useful). I want to know how you're treating the CPI injector... Settings, etc.
