if i'm right, daxtojero (or something similar) is the bloke who runs the web site / company.
He did some early development on the megasquirt, then branched the internal code to create megasquirt'n'extra. This added extra features
and became very popular.
Never delt with him, but he is an authorised reseller of the system (so has some backup from the community that the product is to a certain
standard).
I'm tempted with the microsquirt from trigger wheels when i go efi (in about 5 years at my rate of progress) - seems cheaper for a well packaged
product that does almost the same. But im struggling to see what i'll be missing if i do go that way.

I bought my Megasquirt V3 ECU from ExtraEfi a few years ago having been strung along by another supplier for weeks and weeks.
I needed a V3 with four ignition outputs to suit my COP setup. They made one up in double quick time and it came with the necessary software ready
loaded including a base map to get me started. They fitted an extra external connector to suit the extra wiring required.
My setup triggers from a 24-1 camshaft position sensor which is quite unusual. The manual was clear enough for me to understand and I was able to get
up and running with only one phonecall to ExtraEfi.
I have recently added a wideband Lambda sensor. This was easily incorporated into the ECU software using a laptop.
This is possibly the main advantage of Megasquirt. It is user programmable.
But some would say not always user friendly.
I can't really comment on how it compares to OMEX, DTA, Emerald, etc. They are often said to be superior in some respects.
I can only recommend the Megasquirt V3 and ExtraEfi based on my own experience.
I'm sure that whichever ECU you plump for there will be a local locoster willing to help.
Where are you based?
Can I just say that I have no connection with ExtraEfi.
Geoff.

Are you going to use the Zetec coil packs and EDIS unit?

the diy extra guy is what you want in a one man outfit. Patient and helpful.
Not as cheap as the DIY option, but a worthwhile investment unless you like electrons.

It is the Ford way of running a coil pack to spark the plugs. MS can use it, and it means your not connecting coilpacks directly to your MS (which
can let the magic smoke out if you get it wrong)
