M10 journey, Turbo with Megasquirt. 56k killer..

[Guest Anonymous]

Hey, sorry I've been away for a while..

The coilpacks are triggered using Megasquirt,

Using a crank mounted 36-1 wheel, and a cam trigger from the distributor stalk. (idealy, you could use the distributor by itself, but I felt the crank mounted wheel, which I already had mounted for my previous EDIS setup, would suffice.)

As for the turbo mounting, thats a trick I've learned from the 2002 guys, alot of you guys apparently learned that flipping the manifold was possible, another manifold adapter is created to place the turbo where you like, and mate it onto the stock manifold..

Heat is an issue, and after 2 years of running this setup, I did crack a manifold, but with replacements costing ~$40 max, I wasnt really conserned..

I would suggest this coil scheme to ANYONE.. as it is absolutely fantastic.. the LS-1 coils have tremendious spark energy, much better than my previous EDIS setup.

Dose the Colt dist. fit right in???

Are you using the Ford EDIS with the GM coils?

How are you wiring them up? I would be interested in a diagram, if you have one. I am currently running EDIS with Megasquirt II, using the Ford coil pack.

I'm the new owner of this car. Will be trying to get up from where the P.O's have left off. Car needs to be retuned, as the old one is gone. Time to learn megasquirt. Brakes, suspension, clutch and flywheel will be on the short order purchase list. New VC gasket and plugs are just done. Coolant flush and cleaning and switching back to BMW coolant is a very short term project.
