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.

I am researching for a possible MS2 install on my '87 Porsche 951 (944 turbo). I would really like to use as much of the stock system as possible. The first hurdle seems to be the tach signal. This car uses a 132 tooth wheel with a 1 tooth reference on the cam, both VR. My question is, will MS2 be able to deal with the voltage peaks being output from the VR tach sensor? Or, is it more likely that the MS2 won't be able to keep up with 132 teeth at 7k rpm? I have seen a workaround for the high voltage issue on the MicroSquirt forum ( http://www.microsquirt.com/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=23063 ). It seems that will work for MicroSquirting a 951. But I was looking at building an MS2 kit rather than just buying the MicroSquirt pre-assembled. Does anyone have any experience with using the MS2 on the 951 with the stock triggering setup?
Guess, I spoke a little too soon. After looking through the manual I see the changes suggested in the MicroSquirt forum were applied to the MS2. I guess my question then becomes, anyone have experience running with a tooth count this high? Sorry for the double post, it wouldn't let me edit my previous entry.
