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 having trouble with Bosch fuel pump part numbers. Every spec sheet that I find from Bosch lists a typical Bosch part number like "0 580 464 085", but nearly all the companies in the US that sell the pumps have a five digit number like "69458". The Bosch US website has very little info, it will only tell you what 5 digit part number goes with a specific vehicle. Does anyone know where to find a cross-reference from old to new numbers?
Can't help with your specific question, but the Bosch unit fitted to my '80s RV8 was also used by a large number of other EFI systems on engines ranging from 2 - 6 litre engines. So I wonder if they issued vehicle specific numbers for what is the same unit on others?

It's very likely it's an interchange or OEM specific part number. I have seen this with Bosch sensors.
Give Robert Bosch US a call, they are very helpful. I needed pin connections for an FRP sensor with a Ford part number. I left them a message, they called me back, gave me the info I needed. I asked about detailed specs, they didn't have it on this continent, but they were willing to get Stuttgart on the line if I wanted it.
