[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 209631, member: 4617"] Thanks for watching/reading. I just watched a video where the fellow switched from a Megasquirt unit to the Speeduino. Very good information, took notes. At the end of the video, he mentioned that he used a crank sensor with the Megasquirt, but installed a trigger wheel in the old distributor for the Speeduino. He then went and operated the engine on the Megasquirt, but at the same time had the Speeduino running in a bench test mode for lack of better vernacular, and tuned the Speeduino to match the car operation. Once he had the Speeduino set up, he did the swap. I would expect that he used a bench model to simulate the coils and injectors, and would piggy back with the various other sensors. The reason I mention this is that I have two crank sensors installed, exactly 180 degrees apart, use one and the second is a spare just in case so I don't have to remove the front end to replace a sensor. Since the engine will operate the same with either sensor, BTDT, I could use the second sensor as a signal to the Speeduino. There is also two cam sensors, only need to use one, and the same scenario, leave one hooked to the OEM ECU for engine operation, use the second for an input into the Speeduino for test/trial. Use the bench test model to imitate coil/injector loads. This has merit, should not impact on the engine operation and aid in the transfer to the new ECU. Once the Speeduino is set up, use the same sensors as per the trial. Interesting concept and would probably work with the Megasquirt as well. Cheers [/QUOTE]
