hey Steed, they are local for us in Atlanta, That's where KCBHIW and I buy our stuff. The owner is a real nice guy.
It's easier to run MS as a piggyback for the sole reason that the MS isn't capable of regulating your alternator charging voltage, Tachometer,
I dynoed my speed tonight with the megasquirt controling the fuel and the timing.It's a mustang dyno , I have a forged bloc with all bolt-on necessary and stock turbo.With 16 PSI in mid-range and 13 PSI at redline I have 230 WHP and 290 Tq .I like the torque between 3k and 5k after that the turbo is out of breath.
Does anyone know exactly what mods I have to make to the MS 2 V 3.0 mainboard to get it to run with the stock ignition setup for the FSDE?... (uhm) I know is pretty similar to the EDIS setup but what are the changes to be made.... Any help...
The alternator is the biggest hurdle as, ideally, it needs its own PID loop to efficiently energize its field coil (or just replace it with a self regulating type).
It's actually pretty easy to convert the internally regulated 1st Gen Protege alternator to work on the FS motor. The mounting flange is the same. You'll just need to modify (need a lathe) the ribbed pulley to line up correctly on the 1st Gen shaft and drill out the threads on the tension adjusting flange so the 3rd Gen pinch bolt can go all the way through it. It took me about 15 minutes to fix mine, but I have access to all the right tools.
Justin, any chance you have pictures of that modification to the 1g alt?
Kevin, my pops has a lathe at his place in Woodstock. shouldn't be much of anything to come up with the alt.

You'll need to use the VR circuit on the V3.0 board. The protege is already equipped with a 36-1 wheel on the crank. You'll also have to set up the two outputs driving D14 and D16, in conjunction with pull-up resistors to fire the coils. To go standalone, you'll need external hardware to control the alternator, tachometer, and air conditioner.

Well i have built the VR circuit, And yes I have the V3.0 mainboard. What sort of pullup does our built in ignitior need to fire (5v 12v or switched ground)?
I don't intend to go full standalone, I am happy running it in parallel. just fuel and ignition...

Add a 1k Ohm pull up from the cathode of D14 and D16 to the 5 volt circuit. Trigger the coils from the same point.
