MegaSquirt trigger wheel sensor solution, What's your design?? Options

[draganc]

Hi guys!

I’m planning to upgrade my D-jet system on a 75 2.0 (2056) with a MegaSquirt system.

I’m still debating how to mount the trigger-wheel-sensor and would like to see some of your solutions.

Thank you for your input,
Dragan

I like where this discussion is heading!

Just a few comments and observation after researching the EFI market for about a year:

There are many options and “comfort” level EFI on the market. IMHO, I believe they are all very comparable with each other.
The difference is mainly the component compatibility, technical support and last but not least the price.

Most of the bolt on solutions are clearly focused for mainstream applications like domestic new and old type V8 and imports (Asian and European).

My personnel choice would be Electromotive, MegaSquirt and SDS.

Nevertheless, as of today my choice is MS.

Electromotive has a great product with their TEC 3 units and great support. I called the main number and got a real technical person that was patient enough to talk to me and answer my questions. The only con is the price – at last for me. I had the same great 30 min. experience with SDS on the phone! However, I don’t like the interface w/o a PC - as a EE I like to play with computers.

Hence, I will go with MS. I like the new MS/III options (i.e. data logging on SD card, UBS connectivity and LC touch screen display, just to mention a few) , but like with all new products there are still a few bugs with the SW. Hence, as of today, I would go with MSII. But since I’m in no rush, I will wait a few more months how MSIII develops and make my choice accordantly.

Jake, I appreciate your comments about MS and your public outing, in particular since I happened to read some of your older post about MS!

Beside of Mark’s picture (I know George you posted as well some pictures but not from a trigger wheel as the title of the post implies (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) ) I’m still waiting to see what the member of the great club have fabricated for their trigger wheels!!! Bring it on!!!

PS: I have my rebuild engine (2056 and running stock intake) on my work bench, hence accessibility is not a issue for me.
I’m not looking for top performance but rather a good reliable daily driver. I guess this is what everybody said .
