MS3X Ca18det

Post by superzaxos »

Hello i plan to use MS3x to my ca18det. but i need the ecu pinout and a shematic diagram with colors because i found so many case that i get confused. I plan to use Vag 4 pin coils and stock TPS, stock CA18 Cas and external Map 3bar GM 3bar sensor. also i need to see how i connect a/c to ecu and radiator fan because i need them.
Thanks a lot

Have you looked at the MS3X hardware manual? You can get them all from the Manuals link above.

See section 6.40.

There are various wiring examples for coils.

Take a look through the hole in the end of the Megasquirt case, the MAP sensor is in there. (Section 3.4.2)

yes its possible, but the built in MAP is 4 Bar IIRC. maybe its 3, but either way, its built in so use it

1 coil per cylinder is the same as coil on plug.
Find the Manuals up top under Quick links: Manuals. :RTFM:
