Building an MS-1 MSnS-E for a BMW M30 engine, single coil..

Post by Jon k »

Hey guys in addition to trying to figure out my 6 COP setup, I am building another MS-1 V3 to run MSnS-E (60-2 decode) but the car only has a single coil/distributer. How do I go about setting up the MS hardware to do this properly?

I am troubleshooting just that setup at this very moment. I am using a 60-2 wheel and an electromotive sensor and bracket. I have no tach signal, but the sensor makes an a/c voltage when cranked. Unfortunately I have no scope. I keep hoping to find something setup improperly in the software.

I'm running single coil MS1 V3.0, jumper for VR in and use D14 as the spark output via the VB as normal.

you'll need to work out the triggers and returns for the wheel JOn, I have them for the M20 but I'm sure the sensor placement is altered on the L6 mill
