Anybody tried this?

[Matt Evans]

This doesn't look like megasquirt though.  Was the reply in response to me
claiming that 034efi was about the only people doing 5cyl spark ?
 
Fwiw, the 8860 unit says it has 4 or 8 ignition outputs.  Is the idea that
you'd use 1 ignition output and run a mechanical distributor ?
 
I dont see any prices on this thing either :)
 
Thanks for the link.

I want to believe you really badly, except nobody I've heard of is running a
megasquirt derivative to do spark on an Audi I5.

That is, all the I5 megasquirt installs I know of retain the factory ECU for
sparking, and piggy back it to do fueling.  Only the 034efi stage II and
higher (I think, that's just a dim memory of a website visit) do fuel and
spark together.  Nobody much cares about how to do spark on an I5 motor, it
seems.

Getting perfect control over spark is what's going to let you make safe big
power on a high compression blown motor, right ?  Megasquirt doesn't address
that at all.

I'd love to hear that I am wrong.  I would gut this car's FI/ecu and put in
something I could monitor/tune easily in a heartbeat.. Even running stock
power levels..
