I've got a 93 SC400 and a spare 1uz with much lower miles than what I've got. I want to clean up the spare, bolt on my headers, change the water pump/timing belt, etc before I put it in. The p/o of the motor hacked the wiring harness to death so there is no harness, and I really don't want to take the time to painstakingly remove the one from the motor in the car when it comes out and re-route it back in all the creative ways Toyota did. And even if I bought a spare harness from a parted out car, it'd still cost about as much to get one as I could buy a used or unbuilt Megasquirt for.
I've done some reading on the threads here about Megasquirt and there's a loooooooot of talk about things that are over my head as far as guys using EDIS, specialty wheels on the crank, COP, etc and I don't need all that fancy stuff. The most I want to do is put on a new wheel or modify what I've got (only if I absolutely have to). I'm totally fine with running the stock twin distributors, and the stock 12-1 or whatever wheel came on a 92 SC400 from the factory, if Megasquirt will run it. I've seen where some guys say they have to cut a tooth off from the stock wheel and I'm sure my Dremel can handle that if it's a necessity.
Anyways, what Megasquirt do you guys recommend for me to just run what I brung so to speak? Might as well get one to run fuel and spark, but I haven't really read into Megasquirt since several years ago when I was heavily looking into one for my 280Z, so my familiarity with them is nil.
Also, FYI the car will be a w58 more than likely, so no need for a transmission controller since I've read they make those too.
