A summary of the Megasquirt family for newcomers
#66
it is actually a 94 MX-3 but with a 1.8 BPT from Japan and Dizzy I think is either from Japan or 1.8 pull. Diyauto has told me it is the 4g63 setup so I am just trying to figure out how the 2 pull resistors really wire in. I would love to grimp in the resistors but I am suspecting this might be a solder job. I got tired of fighting my New Zeland ECU with who knows what VAF for getting the tunning right for the past 10 years so time for the MicroSquirt. I should be plugging into the car this weekend. I have a set and spare set of ls2 red truck coils from ebay. Will be running wasted spark. Microsquirt wiring harness to dizzy plug.
Any advice and really a picture or 2 of the unwrapped but already connected resistors would really be great. DIYauto also said to find 1/4 resistors, they didn't mention any other specs for the resistors. I have bags of resistors to choose from.
Thanks

Braineack builds standard MS3X's that you would get if you followed the MegaManual to build a MS3. Reverant uses the main MS3 board, and then designed his own expander board with his own circuits and such for all the extra features.

Looks like the MSPNP PRO also plugs directly into the stock harness as well?

Sorry to bump this thread, but I was looking at differences between the MSPNP PRO and the MS3X DIY PNP (aka brain's unit). They're functionally the same in a different box right? Both built on the MS3 board?

The MSPNP Pro uses a board based on the MS3Pro - the short version is that it was almost a clean slate design where we looked at each circuit to see if it had room to be made more efficient, reliable, or reduce electrical noise. In addition to having knock input standard, we've given the MSPNP Pro built in peak and hold injector outputs, and keep them in stock ready for immediate shipping (worst case if you order at a really bad time is that it may take our solder tech 1-3 days to catch up).

Thanks! I was just trying to understand this stuff as I learn more about megasquirt and my unit in particular.

Hi,
Can anyone enlighten me as to the differences or benefits of one over the other, between a MSLabs MS3 and DIY MSPNP Pro?
Can the MSPNP Pro accept a digital wideband signal via the CAN Bus as the MSLabs can (with their CAN Wideband Module)? Perhaps the MSPNP Pro can accept the MSLabs CAN Wideband Module?
Also, does the MSPNP Pro have OBD-II output?
Thanks

949 Racing advertise their mspnp with
none of others advertise this as a feature, including diyauto, which appears to be same ecu as 949 picture. Is this a typo by 949 or a feature exclusive to them?
- Headphone output for knock sensor - listen for knock while you tune!
