Ignition:Used a homebuilt crank trigger setup and a Hall Effect Sensor from Digikey so that I can have ignition control with the Megasquirt-N-Spark code.
Description:Initial “startup†was in Oct/2003 and tuning will continue as soon as the fuel system mods are finished (adding a second pump to meet fuel demands) but boost will “likely†be moderate until I can build the PWC.

Big “THANK YOU†to Bruce and Al for making this project possible! and to all the excellent members that help make Megasquirt what it is today!
