The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
For discussing how to choose sensors and create a wiring harness for all Bowling and Grippo versions of the MegaSquirt® EFI controller.

The manner in which the white and the blue wires are grounded appears to be pretty finicky and touchy to feedback. I have a 12 awg wire coming back from the battery to MS2 for my main ground. The relay box is inside the cab, and I was tempted to just tie all of the wires to this one ground feed near where it comes into the relay box, but it seems it is important for these to run their own wire.
Does this mean I should run individual wires back to the battery as well for both the white and the blue wires on the LC-1?
Even if MS is grounded at the battery? Or should I perhaps ground it at the cylinder head as well? That would save me from running another 4 feet of wire to the battery... for some reason I had it in my head that grounding to the battery was optimal.
