  New MegaSquirt Developments


Started messing with my car again - replaced the stock coil with a blaster SS coil. Now the car fires but I'm still not up and running. Turns out the stock coil doesn't work with MS.

I'm reading on the success stories board that the CAS in the distributor should be swapped with another Mitsubishi CAS that has all 4 slits the same as ours has one big one.

Anyway, is anyone having luck with this? I'm running the MSII Extra code on my SOHC.

The stock coil works with MS, you just have to set the dwell correctly. Any coil will work with ms, as long as the coils good...

The CAS also CAN work with MS however, you will have to talk to KrazyDriver about how he got it to work. I still dont think its flawless, and i would say just to get the DSM dizzy and be done with it. When i had my car runnin on ms, it would give a miss timed fire and the crank would actually stop moving. The single slat in the dizzy could not handle the varying RPMs of start up.

There are some guys on Ka-T that run MS with the DSM dizzy and its fine.

Emance is a guy who tunes stock ECU's. Same as enthaply, JWT.

Emance sells rom tunes for $150...so far they have a good track record on cars that don't have other issues.

I don't know to many guys successfully using MS on a 240 and having it run WELL. That includes starting, off boost driving as well as WOT. Yes some work...but at what cost?

Rom tune FTW.

Thats because there arnt many guys who get MS running at all. Your still kinda out on a limb there, even though a few people have done it. I know of less than 3 people who run MS right now on a Ka with any success, and one of those runs ms1 which is a lot easier to work with.

Rom tunes are great, but a full stand alone with a good tune will always beat them out IMO. The thing is, is it worth the hassle(or the cash, think AEM EMS..) to go stand alone? This souly depends on your goals, and for most people, the stand alone is not worth it.

Back to MS... I really just dont think its a viable solution for a daily driver. I know it can be done, i just dont see the cost(time, aggravation included)/benefit being reasonable.

edub, shoot me an email later and i'll send you my msq which should show you what you need for the ignition parameters.

I've been running well with the ms2 extra 2.01 firmware @ 6psi for over 600 miles now on my DOHC, CAS wheels are the same though.
I just need to dial in the fueling a little better, other then that everything has been great.

So he has an Integra and you have a 240?
I know why she left you.
She likes it in the front better than the rear.

Done and much appreciated. My DD is a 2008 Ridgeline - this car is just for fun so I don't need it to be dependible. Smooth running would be nice though.

Does this new guy tune E-motors? If my next attempt fails I will contact him.
