MSI or MSII?

Post by TurboPilot »

I am looking to build my own MS for my car. I have friends that build MS1 and they are working fine. What are the benefits for buying MSII? I am running a Turbo Charged engine with wasted spark.

Thanks

MS2 has a faster processor; that's the biggest one. It also has a stepper IAC output, though not all cars will need this. The faster processor enables more precise control over larger injectors and some improved tuning and noise filtering routines.
