What year Sentra? They built a lot of 1.6 liter engines for these, and not all of them have the same requirements.

There's a HUGE difference. Depending on the year, you might have one of the following motors:

1. An E16 motor with a carburetor and distributor.
2. A GA16, which can be treated like the KA24 in our 240SX MegaSquirt guide.
3. Possibly a couple other engines that never made it to the US market.

MS2 V2.2s are pretty rare - that would have a green main board with a small circuit board plugged into the 40 pin socket. Almost all of these ones are the result of someone piecing together an MS from a couple different kits.

Ok, that sounds like an MS1 V2.2, not an MS2. For how to put an MS2 processor in one, see this link:

On this engine, your easiest option is probably going to be to ignore most of the stock sensors and put a 36-1 crank trigger on there. We have a page about this sort of thing on our site here:
