With mounting your ms in an old ecu case make sure there is no way the ms can make a ground loop, you arent even supposed to mount the ms case to metal. Sounds like a tough project with connecting the ms to the factory ecu plug but i know the ford, bmw, and miata guys have done it!

Just to clarify I am not going to use the old ECU case, I am just using the connectors to plug into the harness. I will solder wire from the old connectors to what the MegaSquirt plugs into. It should work out pretty well. I haven't figured out where to mount the ECU though... I need a place that I can hook up a serial connector.

Well I know they can but I kind of wanted to go standalone instead of piggy back. I kind of wanted to get into real tuning with the ECU and make the most of my modifications. Plus I wanted to run the bigger injectors for maybe E-85 and take control of the timing. As you know piggy back systems don't have that possibility.
So it was between DSMlink, AEM, and Megasquirt. I am not saying that DSMlink and AEM aren't bad systems. It just seemed like Megasquirt seemed to be the ECU for me because you can build it from scratch and I love building thing from scratch. Plus the MSII system and processor has huge possibilities. Plus I can't beat the price so far...
I am really not that happy with the MAF-T. I think the old MAS did a better job of reading air. Especially in this cold weather I am finding out. I was going to switch to a 2g MAS and AFC but realized my goals are too large for that combo.
Modifications are pretty light right now
Before I did real big modifications to the car, I wanted to make sure this system will work with the car that I have. Kind of establish a base tune and then tune every modification from there.
The modifications are going to get big...
Remember a couple post ago
I found a 4g64 in an expo not that long ago.
