was looking for info on megasquirt being able to run propane on my 4cyl diesel useing a 36-1 edis wheel. The main reason for this is to use Megasquirt as engine monitoring/data logging and have a megaview type display. Im also looking for info on doing oil pressure and and exhaust temp.
Thanks for the help

Re: propane
That doesn't sound too difficult, although I haven't done this myself. As you don't need very precise timing, you don't really need a 36-1 trigger wheel. One pulse each time a cylinder fires would be sufficient.

Re: propane
you can "steal" a signal off a modern electronic fuel injector, or even read alternator. All you are after is RPM really.
Then use MAP to get boost.
simple map, pretty easy to do I would think.
