- Here's a relatively in-depth video on my wasted spark setup from DIYAutoTune.

Bro thank you I’ve been searching for someone to actually explain it lol
Yeah I went through the same thing, that's why I decided to make a video myself
I love you. I finally have spark.
I understood that you install QuadSpark Four Channel Ignition Module & IGN-6 Six-Tower Coil Pack & MicroSquirt with 8′ Harness . would you tell please if all of those items still working fine after 3 & half years or not, Thanks for posting this video.
Yep, still going strong after 3 years.
Hello, what values did you put in your configuration? -cranking dweel, -Nominal dweel, -spark duration.
For the pack I used the nominal dwell is set to 3.4ms, and the cranking dwell is 6ms. You can play with the spark duration to see what works best, I would start with 1ms.
When you’re dealing with old BMW:
“Just ignore the blood “
And the leaks, and the noises..
BTW, @Haters Garage,
thank you for the video. My e30 feels better than ever now.
I was able to install IGN6 with QuadSpark.
There are not much useful data online except the forums and your video :)
Nicely done hopefully u post a video when you boost your e30
Thanks man, I definitely will. No idea when though.
@@HatersGarage what's the wasted spark kit or parts need to do this
@@207philippe Here is the link to the ECU, and on that page there is the parts you need. (IGN-6 connector, coil pack and ignition module) www.diyautotune.com/product/megasquirtpnp-g2-b8793-for-the-87-92-bmw-e30-325i/
Thanks for putting this up.
I’m curious if you had enough wire with the DB26 plug wires to connect to the QuadSpark and still make it through the firewall or if you need to extend one side of it?
Found out wires weren’t long enough. Nbd. Now I’m trying to sort where the 12v plugs in.
@@zanerasmussen8889 Did you ever get it working? Here's the pinout: www.diyautotune.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/p-1305-ign6-pinout.gif
Yes sir. Thank you for your information. It definitely help me along the way. I got it running today actually and it feels so smooth, then ran out of gas, lol.
Thank you so much for yhr explanation. Especially on an m20. Was searching myself. Have you had any reliability issues with the quad spark at all? I have searched and AEM (30-2843) 3-Channel Ignition Coil Driver works well.
No problem. And no I haven't had any reliability issues from it, only some bad plugs. I'd recommend getting some iridium or platinum plugs, copper plugs don't last very long in a wasted spark application.
@@HatersGarage i can imagine since they are having twice as many sparks. Pretty sure im already running ngk iridium plugs. But good to know. Just need ms2pnp.
Good video - appreciate it man
Thank you. Do you have to add a wheel inside the car to pick anything up, or is that it? Do you have list of all the parts needed that you can send me. I have shaved my bay on my 3.0 m20 and want to run wasted spark
NP, I watched your video on the E30, that thing is sweet. How much boost are you running? Wasted spark could definitely help with tuning. As for the setup itself, everything that's needed besides plug terminals is on the MSPNP page here: www.diyautotune.com/product/megasquirtpnp-g2-b8793-for-the-87-92-bmw-e30-325i/
@Haters (nice name, that could be a lot of people. lol) Anyway, I understand more power on the high end, but how did this effect your fuel economy for daily driving? My theory is it went down significantly... Am I right? Let us know and Thanks for the vid!
No, the drivability or gas mileage wasn't decreased at all. (It was improved!) I can't think of one way the stock distributor is better, solid state ignition is the way to go. Lots of newer cars use this exact setup, that or coil-on-plug.
Hey brother I’ve installed this twice on my car. Did a lot of testing and thought my quad spark wasn’t sparking B or C. It’s all wire exactly how you did it. The pins are correct. Setting are correct. This is such a headache that should be so easy. Any idea why I can’t get B or C to spark ?
I even was sent a new quad spark it’s still not working. I made sure the wiring was really tight this time. Still same problem
@@adabashidesign6151 Is it still not working? I've been there a bunch of times believe me. Have you asked the forums? That's the first thing I do when I get stuck on something; there are a lot of people smarter than me on there that can help. Just make sure you send a log and your tune when you make your thread. www.msextra.com/forums/
Did you do have to do anything with the distributor pick-up?
well that's nice to share this :) i'm actually in the same conversion on my turbo M20 and it help me a lot, but sry i'm still bad as understanding "english talk" (i'm french :/ ) , so i didn't find if you talk about the jumper in the ECU , that's the only question i have no answer at this moment , how to place the jumpers in the ECU (i'm with V3.57 board , MSpnp gen2)
I believe the jumper should already be in the correct position for this setup, mine was. All the jumper locations and what they do are listed in this page www.megasquirtpnp.com/docs/mspnp_g2_genInstall.php?boardVer=13&isModel=2
@@HatersGarage sry for the late answer, thanks for the advice, i would try in the next week 😁
Did you notice any improvements over stock ecu? Planning doing the same for later boosting
As far as horsepower numbers, there wasn't a whole lot gained. Maybe 10hp? I would definitely get at wideband o2 sensor and an intake temp sensor to delete your AFM at the same time. You can make it much more efficient and get better gas mileage with it; if that's what you're into.
@@HatersGarage Ok, thanks! Good info!
that crow tho
By any chance do you have a small diagram of the wiring
Here's the documentation with some diagrams, you just have to scroll for a while to get to them. www.megasquirtpnp.com/docs/mspnp_g2_genInstall.php?boardVer=13&isModel=2
@haters garage wich ecu do you run?
MSPNP2
are you running the megasquirt pnp2?
Yes
So you didn't have to worry about the bip373 modification on the ms2pnp?
More on wiring
To the ecu
What do you want to know exactly?
@@HatersGarage the pinout from the quadapark to the options port on the ecu what goes where
@@HatersGarage my cat had weak spark and ive changed everything to do with it and I wanna go wasted spark
@@justinmanse2849 Okay, for some reason the documentation on DIYAutotune's website aren't accessible right now, so I uploaded them to google drive. Download the HTML files and look through them, everything you need to know is in there.
