Need MegaSquirt for Turbo'd Jeep - What do I need?

Hello everyone,

I hope I have posted this in the correct area. I would like to install a MegaSquirt system on my 1997 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L and I am in need of some assistance in getting all of the correct pieces to get it to hookup and work. Below I am outlining what I did to my Jeep to make me need a MegaSquirt system:

I have installed a Garrett T3/T4 turbo on to my 2.5L, inline 4, '97 Jeep Wrangler. I also installed a front-mount inter-cooler, Bell Engineering boost controlled fuel pressure regulator, Ford 60lb/hr injectors, and a throttle body from Jeep 4.0L. I am running E85 fuel and with the stock computer it always runs extremely rich and can't be tuned very well. I am hoping that by installing a MegaSquirt system I will be able to better tune the fuel management and get it running correctly.

Will the MegaSquirt II be sufficient or should I get the III?
What other adapters/sensors do I need to hook it up? Thought I read once that it doesn't work with the stock Jeep crank sensor, is that still the case?
What other add-ons/features would be worth looking into?

Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Seth

Any particular features you need besides fuel and ignition?

The 2.5's tooth pattern is unique and currently not supported. With MS2 B&G code covered on this forum, your best bet would be a Ford EDIS swap.
