Not an exhaustive one but I have searched for timing map databases. Since each motor is different I see that a database would only benfit people running bone stock motors which is not the goal of anyone using MS. I am starting to think that ultimately it doesn't matter and I should follow the same ...

That sounds like a great way to get the base advance curve very close to optimal. What is left are the tricky parts of the map that a dyno tune can reveal. I am curious about the possibility of accurately seeing actual timing. If the factory timing map could be duplicated before tuning fuel, I think ...

Thanks for the responses. So I guess I first need to figure out how to pickup the spark output signal, maybe a tachometer? Then figure out how to input this signal to MS. Then graph this signal versus load and rpm. I'll keep digging.

Thanks

I am wondering if data logging can be used as a tool to read a factory ignition map if the megasquirt is run in parallel with the stock ecu. I intend to run a stock 2001 pathfinder vq35de in a datsun 280z. In the future I would like a single turbo upgrade. I want to be able to run either computer ...

Thanks Lance! That is what I suspected and now I know why. I appreciate you taking the time to help.

I purchased an MS2 v3.57 from DIY for a Datsun 280Z SBC TBI conversion. It was ordered set up for EDIS although I am starting out with only an early style HEI distributor. I then added the BIP373 transistor and modified the board per the DIY tutorial for direct coil control and installed the MS2 on ...

Everybody point and laugh at the noob! Apparently I have no ignition driver installed at Q16. I'm off to read some more and may try to use the stock transistor, but will probably order the BIP373. And Instead of experimenting with the stock coil, there may be some well proven settings on another ...

The injectors aren't firing when MS is powered down, but I though I read there was a possibility of ECU or driver damage if they were wired this way? I can't seem to find where I read that, but anyway the injectors aren't leaking down, I'm just being overly cautious I guess. Thanks for the like, I ...

Thanks for responding. Yes, I do see 250 to 300 rpm in Tuner Studio during cranking. It fluctuates a little but seems to coincide with the engine and looks accurate. I think I might try to flash the firmware again. I burned some settings while the stim was turned on, and while the car was on, but ...

I am attempting direct coil control using the stock Nissan optical sensor and I am hesitant to keep trying to start the
car. I have read a lot and followed the writeups on DIY's site and a few Nissan specific sites. I am pretty sure it is wired correctly and I have some basic setting wrong. I ...
