Mike7447 Posted May 16, 2024 Report Share Posted May 16, 2024 I bought one of these because it fits the pulley and will be easier to mount it. But after doing some reading on the mega-manual for Megasquirt, it looks to me like a 35-1 wheel isn’t supported because the tooth count isn’t divisible evenly when trying to place the crank trigger sensor. Anybody got any input about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87star Posted May 17, 2024 Report Share Posted May 17, 2024 It works just fine, 36/4=9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Cary Posted May 17, 2024 Report Share Posted May 17, 2024 It's close enough. Just trust him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted May 18, 2024 Report Share Posted May 18, 2024 I thought that wheel was a 36-1. As in 36 teeth minus one. I'm sure that's how I ran it when I had that wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I went down in the garage and got one of the harmonic balancers w/a trigger wheel mounted that was on one of my previous mega-squirt installations sold, installed, and ran as a 36-1 wheel, and counted the teeth minus the missing one. 35 teeth 🤔 Go figure. Why is Mookeh calling their wheel a 35-1 when obviously every other wheel listed as a 36-1 is exactly the same ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87star Posted May 19, 2024 Report Share Posted May 19, 2024 Lost in translation. I am the Godfather of MS for Starquests, probably some stuff in the vendor forum left on my contribution to this community, maybe not. Motocam Tim carries my products still, don’t check in here much anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was here back in 2006-7, but was an outcast because I was putting a ford motor in the car instead of a Chrysler v8 swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will need a base tune for this combination, (T3/T4 57mm turbo, 4 LS coils, MPI using 4 LS shorty 60 lb/hr injectors, and of course crank triggered ignition). Can you point me towards that?

scott87star Posted May 20, 2024 Report Share Posted May 20, 2024 MS has table editors/builders for each table you require, click on “tools” when in any table. Answer a few variables ( guesses are fine) and you’ll get awfully close. Close enough to start the engine and begin tuning. Best of luck!
