I have always been a huge fan of megasquirt and would like to run it on my 7m. I know everyone has issues getting megasquirt to work with the EDIS ignition on the 7MGTE. However I have an NA 7M with a distributor ignition. If I was to run megasquirt with the stock distributer, does anyone have any idea how I would go about setting it up?

im using ms2 on my 7mgte with edis. i didnt have any issues. i think the prob is the diagram for the trigger wheel shows the missing tooth 6 teeth counterclockwise from the sensor, but if you notice in tiny writing it says "as viewed from the rear". the missing tooth needs to be 6 teeth clockwise from the vr sensor when your looking at it from the front of the engine. mine works fine.

Im using the ford edis set up with ms2 on my 7mgte.
I had absolutely no set up issues using the stock coils.
It seems real easy and the tach works.

After buying a set up from someone on here,we improved the bracket for the sensor and rewelded the trigger wheel balanced on the dampener.

We did however burn the module up 2x and I think my coil had a short in it because the connector was broken. Waiting on coils now.

The other thing I dont like is the trigger wheel we welded to the dampener is too thick, requires fan spacing which lead to radiator fitment issues with alum radiators. We already have a nice bracket made up to mount the sensor so I have not explored other (thinner) trigger wheels.

One thing some guys, and I will be doing, is grind two of the 24 teeth off of the cam position sensor, 180 degrees apart. then you program the computer for a 12-1 crank signal.

edit:

Or you could do it this way

we've had nothing but trouble with the stock toyota distributor and cps. 36-1 is simple to set up and has fewer noise issues (not sure why).

bozosoku is one of the few who's had luck with the toyota vr's
