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.

I am using MS2/V3 code 2.905 on bbc thru small cap gm efi dist. My MS is not happy triggering off the neg coil. My vehicle needs an 8 pin vr signal to run transmission and tach plus that system has allowed me to still drive when MS has failed. So thinking of adding a second 8 pin to drive MS and having both systems active and parallel and the question is will the vr pickup power two 8 pins as far as a vr signal goes? They would be 12v powered separately.
I tried hooking up just the signal wire to tach in on the relay board with no connection for est and by pass but that stop it from working on the GM side and throws a code "short in ignition"
At this point the gm side controls the 4l80e transmission, timing, dash tach and fuel pump. It is a 93 suburban and is the test mule for my MS dual tbi system that I have been working with on my test stand. It is all destined for my 50 chev pickup but I don't want to switch to that truck until the system is absolutely correct and trouble free. So just was trying to find out if the gm vr could drive to 8 pins.
