yea i am building his after i get mine rolling, should wake up his turbo e28 nicely and push it into the 12s, it's about 13 flat now on old ass motronic, really old ass motronic, i think he's running a 059 box from the 533. i already have another guy wanting me to set up his m50/e30 on MS "damn i haven't even built mine yet, ya gotta get in line :D "

Why megasquirt? A lot of wise men in UK seem to use them rather than more commonly available systems so curious why you oh wise person chose them????

it's cheap, i can build it myself, and it will do almost everything i want it to do, the almost is going to be solved soon as they are working on the timing circuit for fully sequential injection, in the mean time ill use batch (3 and 3 instead of gang fire with all 6) fire with the factory harness, once the timer comes out ill build a custom wiring harness. heres one of the sites if you want to read up on it http://www.bgsoflex.com/megasquirt.html i only have $350 in the whole thing

if i don't get seriously pissed off setting up mine and kyles msII's i may offer plug and play units for motronic 1.1/1.3 harnesses, and distant future maybe even m50 ready units stay tuned ;)
