That's not true. I've had an MS-I in my car for 3+ years now and have been controlling both fuel and spark the whole time. I took the entire engine harness out and replaced it with the MS harness, so there is no stock computer anywhere. Now it does work in conjuntion with the stock TFI module and the MSD box, but the MS is what determines what the timing is at any given point.

 

I am not sure as I have no MS-I experiance, I do know that on the web site it says the MS-I can be upgraded to handle ignition duties.
This copied from the MS-I add.

Fully upgradeable to MegaSquirt II Fuel and Ignition Controller
This unit can be upgraded to MegaSquirt 2 and you'll have the following new/improved features:

Ignition control (full spark timing advance control, dwell control, etc) for one coil/distributor and EDIS systems,
All tuning tables at 12×12 resolution
On-board stepper motor driver for IAC stepper control (this will require a few jumper wires to be added on the MegaSquirt PCB)


Open Source means Endless Development
Already there are optional firmware updates (like MSnS-E mentioned above) for the current MegaSquirt-I to add features such as:

Ignition Control, distributor-based and distributorless (DIS) systems
12x12 Volumetric Efficiency (VE) and Ignition Tables
Closed loop boost control
Rev limiters
Shift Light control
Water Injection control
Knock Sensor Input

 

Nice work, I can't wait till i start my turbo build.

 

I believe you need to use the "Extra" Firmware with MS-I for ignition control

 

Yes, that is true and the few mods to the board itself, but it is capable of controlling everything after you do those things. I just wanted to make sure that other people reading this, that didn't know about MS, didn't get confused. If doing the mods yourself isn't your cup-o-tea, you can buy complete boards, that already have the mods done to them, from DIY Autotune.

 

Is the car still getting hot with the cowl hood? Build looks great.

 

I never had any issues with the water temps getting to high it was mainly just the intake, and induction getting hot. The cowl hood seems to have helped out a good bit. The hood I have for it is only maybe a inch or inch and a half over stock so it has not changed the looks that much, but does let the engine compartment vent some.

 

What kind of 1/4 mile times are you expecting?

 

I expect the car to go high 10's based on the 1/8 mile et's, compared to past rides we have run that run about the same. I dont know that I will ever run it in the quarter though. It has no bars or subframes, and I dont think I want to put any in it.

 

Verry nice build and fab work.

 

nice mustang it looks great and it goes nice streetable mustang

Damn, she sits pretty! What's the suspension consist of? What size rear tires?

 

What company makes that hood? I think it has the perfect profile, and looks like it fits well too.


VIDS!!!

 

Its some cut stock springs, and South Side lowers. Nothing special. The tires are some 275-50 M/T Drag Radial

The hood is made by KAENEN, very high quality, and great fit.

 

Oh yeah, I had heard those were good. Thanks!

 

Dang man, Plain Jane is looking better and better

 

I peck away at it when I get some spare time. You going to the mega meet this year?

 

I haven't seen anything posted abount it, when/where is it?
