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 |

The db-37 connector was the main reason I put off buying a ms as I also thought it was a data transmission connector. I recently got a bunch of ms stuff from a ebay seller off of a car he put back to stock to sell. I am going to change the connector but haven't picked a good replacement, it's on a back burner as the ms is mainly a learning tool for a possible universal ecu for my simpler toys. My 75 1.8 with original fi will probably be the test motor on a stand to get started but I also have a good tt suby motor thats not obd2 to also play with. My son thinks it is easier to use a suby ecu with opensource tuning and bypass the ms headaches.
I really like cop ignitions but the parts aren't cheap. |

Changing the db-37 out on a stock board is probably going to be more trouble then it is worth. The actual through holes on the board where the db-37 attaches are a lot smaller then you would proabbly want to try to do anything with. If you already have an assembled megasquirt I would just leave it alone, the connector does work, it just might not have been the best design decision and you need to be carefull with it.
The boards i had made up do away with the db-37 header completly, i did not see an easy way of avoiding it with the stock boards.
