Was working with Megasquirt until they went proprietary and it was no longer possible to continue. Was working on creating a version of there board strictly for Mopars. Then found this site which sounded interesting, but needed some more work. I wanted to not have any wires jumpering to make the system work. The microRusEFI looks very nice. I want to try one on
a 5.7 Dodge Hemi, A Kz1300 Kawasaki, a ZG1000 Kawasaki. The bikes would be ignition only, at least for now. The 1300 is a water cooled inline 6, using wasted spark. Think the Hemi will need some learning as it runs 8 coils and 8 injectors. A few more out puts then available on the microRusEFI. So here I am again. Thanks for all of the wonderful work on this, looks to be several fun projects here. I think the 5.7 will require using 2 microRusEFI units to fully control it. Bet it would run on only 4 coil igniters, using wasted spark. But then what would I do with the other 8 spark plugs. Anyway glad to be back.

Re: Hello again. Been gone for several years
The demo of using two microRusEFI was just a publicity stunt, please do not use two microRusEFI on the same engine
We have a number of promising boards coming which would be better suited for v8. See https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/wiki/Hardware
For today I would love to sell you an MRE for your 4 cylinder applications

Re: Hello again. Been gone for several years
It is currently not recommended to try and run more than a 4 cylinder with microRusefi. With smart coils you could run wasted spark ignition, but we can't reliably drive that many injectors. The dual ECU stunt was just that: a stunt. There was some hacking to get that to work, and it's not worth doing the work to make it work reliably and actually be usable.Dodge_470_B wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 9:05 pmWas working with Megasquirt until they went proprietary and it was no longer possible to continue.

Software wise, all those engines sound very doable (on a single ECU ). I've been semi-daily-driving a v8 on rusEfi for a few months now without issue.
