[QUOTE=nize]i'm curious, how does the megasquirt compare to the wolf3d ems ? i'm wondering if it's cheaper time-wise to just go with the plug-and-play solution;

I looked at it before I went with the MS and it does look pretty nice. I just checked again and the V500 has quite the feature list, loads of inputs and outputs and stuff. I really like the ide of MegaSquirt though and so far itll do almost everything I want. Im looking forward to the MS3 and eventually UltraMegaSquirt

can you explain what exactly the megasquirt does that the wolf3d doesn't ?

Couldnt see anything, the Wolf has more features even. More inputs and outputs, maps dedicated to those outputs (3d control of water injection, that kinda stuff from what I gathered). However, it is $1900+ for the V500 version, whereas my MegaSquirt is pushing $400 maybe. It makes it less expensive to get into, get out of, play with, upgrade, break, etc. And its open source, so if I wanted to play with the code I can (and I plan to try). Its also under continual improvement and development by a huge number of people.
Basically it all comes down to personal preference and skill level. I like tinkering with stuff and being challenged, so those were two big factors in my choice of MegaSquirt.

Three Wheelin'
Definitely interested in this, though, isn't the MS-III out now and has a bajillion extra little things?
MSing an E30 or E36 BMW has always been on my short list of "fun things to do sometime."

I've got a system, and I've built it. I have decided that I am goiing to have my flywheel drilled and tapped and use it for the signal. I'll be going with the 36-1 tooth wheel setup and teh Ford EDIS (otherwise I'd probably look into Chris White's setup, which uses a 60-2).
Also, for the record, if anyone is thinking of using an S2 flywheel, which also has a 60-2 tooth pattern, it is smaller in diameter than the Turbo one. So, uh......anyone need an S2 flywheel?

Does the stock Idle Valve(3 wire) work well, or is it best a 2-wire to make it simpler?
Does it need a TIP122 to trigger it, or direct from the MS?
This is the MS, one afternoon´s work:
75% done, 2.5 bar MAP installed.

I thought Bruce (95One) had figured out how to mate the 60-2 on the turbo fly/PP setup...?

No idea. Still want to run the Ford EDIS stuff, meaning 36-1. Just picked up the flywheel while I was collecting 16V stuff. It was kind of how I thought to maybe putting cap set screws around the perimeter of the flywheel (the way the reference sensor trigger is, only every 10 degrees).
