I think i might have the boat sold to a friend so i will have most of what i need to finish up thank god it is a friend buying the boat because i am giving it away at $500 the olds 455 is worth that
I have a megasquirt 2 extra, going to run it as wasted spark on the v12 in my Fiero. There is a lot of good help and advice on the forum if you need any.
It will be run using wasted spark with dual edis it will run bank a the bank b 60 degrees after. I would like to think I will have the engine running later this year, just concentrating on getting the mechanicals donefor now.
Checked out the MegaSquirt website. Looks like you have to assemble the PCB yourself. Its a good idea to use the 25w pencil soldering iron as they suggest to assemble the PCB. A few posts up you mention a soldering gun. Too hot for PCB work. Easy to damage the components by overheating with a gun. Take your time and it should be fine.

That's awesome I'm glad it worked well! I'm still thinking of building one using a passat trans and s4 twin turbo v6 but $$$ and I bought a 69 olds with a 455 that needs work instead of a fiero because of the back seat.
worked on soldering my megasquirt together today it is coming along fine but it is slow going i am planing on doing More latter tonight and if it rains tomorrow i will do even more and maybe finish it up. I also picked up a 86 SE but that is staying stock
Very cool build. My wife and I both drive v-dubs as our daily drivers, so the thought has crossed my mind to stuff some VAG engine in my Formula. Nice to see someone actually doing it.
Darn it i wanted to show some pics of where i am on the MS2 but my camera is not working and i am at a point where i need the simulator to check what i have done is right

well i did more soldering and i am past step 51 and put in the VR ignition circuit and i plan doing more tonight i would like to finish it up but i need to figure a few ignition things out for the COP with wasted spark like if i use 12V pull down or 5V not really sure on all of that but i will get it all figured out
I am using the stock Bosch 0 227 100 211 ignition module so it takes 5V it works by grounding and ungrounded the coils so it is nothing but a switch or should i say 4 switches in 1 module you hook the coils up in pairs to it on the in side you have 5 wires 1 is a ground and the others are the trigger wire on the out side of it are the coil neg wires
^ Heh the diagram reminds me of the program I used to design circuits in my electrical principles and electronic packaging classes in college. Keep plugging away at it
Yaaa All done Except the Ignition out circuit that i need to make and i hope to do that tomorrow night
Wow, should have read the thread... I was no help at all, sorry about that. But yeah, to directly control the 3500 coil pack it's the same deal, except I don't need 'Spark D'.
