then you will need a programable race dash like a stack

that's a lot of work. and I'm pretty sure the vss in the trans goes to the ECU as well, I'm not certain. just keep the stock ECU. all you need an ms for is fuel and ignition, and idle if you want to adjust that.

you also have no chance of passing emissions without the stock computer, if you're registered in an emissions county.

the megasquirt will definitely be a good choice. the easiest install is to just do a parrallel install. you have all the benefits of a standalone, and the stock ECU to control the dash, alternator, a/c
You'd have to fool the EGR boost sensor into thinking the EGR is working for the PCM to not throw a CEL. I gave it some thought, because I would like to get rid of EGR as well, and while anything is possible, this one might be kind of hard. The manual states exactly what pressure it is looking for so you'd have to fake the signal. I think I put some details on one of Pope's threads, probably the one for his exhaust manifold. The MS can be tweaked to do just about anything, but it is not for the faint of heart.
Other than that, I don't see any disadvantage in running parallel. Since you don't care about emissions, there isn't really a point in the CEL itself anyway, so you could just remove the bulb.
Glad to see at least a little more interest in the MS. That being said, my MS is still sensors only until I have a new daily driver and I don't need it to get me to work.

Huge thanks for this. I'm not actually using the Megasquirt, I have a Wolf EMS, but I've been having a hell of a time getting it to idle correctly. Most of the principles appear to be similar and this should help me out with getting the idle speed controls working. One of the big ones is I couldn't for the life of me figure out what hz the PWM was supposed to run at. I read somewhere it should be 120hz, which probably explains why I have a dead one now.
Good evening,
My project is a Mazda MX6 R4 16V (FS01) and I have the engine converted in part to FSDE.
Now I have the ignition coil (COP Wasted Spark) of the Mazda Protege 2.0 / Mazda Premacy.
It is controlled via a Megasquirt 3 (V3.0) with MS3X-Board and I am now just before the first start.
However, I noticed that my OEM Mazda LLS (2polig/PWM) is permanently activated even at "ignition on." But it should not run continuously, even without engine start.

I have also the problem that the coils are very very hot after a short time. It is only switched on the ignition. At the ignition coils located on permanent 12V (black/white colored wire), ground (black/red colored wire and 5V (black/yellow or white/blue) on the signal line permanently.
My information is that I need "going low" in the ignition settings.
When the engine starts, a spark is present.
http://www.mx6hosting.de/upload/2013_08/z_ndeintellung_mx6467119.jpg
Moreover, the injectors has a constant voltage of 10V at "Ignition on". The OEM ECU switched the Injectors for only a short time.
Therefore, the injectors were always open :-(
Actually there is no ground to the injectors when no engine speed is present. Is there a problem with engine speed settings?

guys, this is awesome information.
thanks to the OP for sharing.
i am already in the process of buying the megasquirt parts and assembling myself.
i do have a quetsion though..
what is the V3.57 board?
is that something else i need to buy besides the 3.0?
all i cna find about 3.578 is bering a daughter card and also being MS3...
