hey guys, am running megasquirt 3, and have run into a snag with coilpack wiring, I have not been able to find any pinout diagrams for stock coilpacks, and im not wanting to go gm or edis-4. Can someone help me out with a diagram of what pins are meant to do what?

Many thanks

Did you look in the FSM? It HAS to be in there. We don't have one for the EXA, but we have one for the S13 w/aCA18DET. I would think they would be similar enough to use. Are you running sequential, or batch fired ignition? If you're running batch I would NOT keep the stock coils. There's not enough time between ignition events to run them in batched and make very much power.

I didn't even think of looking in the s13 one, I don't have the n/a ca18 fsm for the exa (they never came turbo in the ca's), and yeah am planning on sequential fire to match with sequential injection
