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.

Im thinking of playing around with fuel injecting my 2001 yz 125 dirtbike. The bike uses a cdi ignition and I have a stator/windings (alternator) capable of about 4-5amps would this be capable of running a small fuel pump and the ms with all sensors? anyway to the real root of the question is it possible to pick up a tach signal from a CDI ignition? I currently have an ms on my car and was just wanting to see what else i could do. Any info would be great.
I am just getting ready to fire up something with an RM250 ignition fitted. The VR sensor works fine with the V3 input circuit, the one with the 2 adjustable resistors in it, it doesn't even seem bothered about polarity. I'm cranking it with a drill at the moment to verify everything works as it should. I guess your YZ will be the same. I have other bike ignitions (Japanese MX & road race) around and they are all pretty much the same - fixed VR and a pickup on the flywheel. The only thing to watch is the stator can be high voltage to fire the CDI directly (300v) so an ordinary regulator won't work. 4-5 amps may not be quite enough. I'm planning to run a battery + alternator and re-charge the battery between runs.
