MotronicCode.com has several threads on the MegaSquirt topic. The link below points to my post on the topic dealing with making use of the stock speed & reference sensors:

Ok where does "Ultramegasquirt fall in to the mix. If I read it correctly this is going to be a top shelf "U do it" set up. This looks to be the one that I will wait for. Correct me if I am wrong but this seems to be the unit that will allow for complete fuel and spark control as well, If I read it correctly it will have to ability to fire all injectors independently as well as individual coil packs for each cylinder. Wide band o2 and a whole bunch more. About the only thing I can say about it wait and see if they get it finished and on the market and what bugs it ends up having. BUT if it works this should be the unit of choice especially for the $$$$. Now we just have to figure out the sensors for the 944. I would venture to say that it will probably require a new separate Cam position sensor as well as crank sensor. I am really tempted to get one just to fool with. My only regret is that I don’t have a boosted car to put it on at the moment. Kind of seems like a waste to put such a unit on an NA car

3500 is bundles but it is high end management to be compared with motec Autronic and the other fancy italian one only the top 3 or 4 have knock control i have done a from scratch install and its not that hard the big obstical is the trigger or crank sensor the way to tacle this is get a ociliscope voltage discription of the outputs then ask the computer maker weather there box can configure for it if this fails mount the trigger set up off an old jap or gm on the the front of the cam 968s had sequential motronic so they have a good trigger set up on the cam the link from new zealand seems good value at 1600 dollars i think may have optional self tune similar to autronic i love autronic but i have stood next to fitzpatrics 968 turbo rs replica on the dyno spinning 480 hourspower at the treads with link in the glove box this car has raced in this tune for about four or five years now with no probs

DarkLightning,

Have you had any luck getting the MS up and running? I am working on another MS project (non 944) but down the road I can see one on my car.

Looks like some one got one up and running on a 951

Doesn't the 968 flywheel have 60-2 teeth? This would be the most elegant solution to the crank trigger issue if it does.

Ok I am thinking again.

I was thinking that this might be a way to install a cam position sensor with out significant mods to the stock motor.

Use a cap and rotor... . . . I know that this is what many people are trying to eliminate but walk with me here. I would glue a magnet to the end of a stock rotor replacing the metal tip. I would then drill out the cap at the #1 plug wire location and put the pickup sensor in there. For that mater you could then put a sensor into each one of the four plug wire locations and you could then use that to trigger individual coils on each plug. .. . Hummmm. I know I would have to radius the inside of the cap and or probably some other minor fitment issues but I think that this is probably the simplest way to do this.

Comments are not only welcome but wanted!!!

Looks like with a little wiring you can get the microsquirt to be virtually a plug and play deal. Here is the link to the thread on Pelican about it.

Dean how did you attach the 36-1 wheel to the crankshaft? My idea would be on the front crank pulley. If you could pm me, or if we could communicate via email I would very much appreciate it. I have to get the front part of the motor out this week in any case as I need to do the water pump. Thanks, Glenn
