Microsquirt & MSD MC-4

Post by TYSON »

Hi Guys,

Just a quick question, I'm in the middle of wiring up a microsquirt fuel only install with an MSD MC-4 ignition.

The ignition kit grabs the crank position from a Dyna Pro crank trigger.

Question is, where is the best place for the microsquirt to pick up it's signal?

Can/Should i use the same crank trigger as the MSD?

Can/Should i pick up off the coils?

Can/Should i pick up of the factory hayabusa crank sensor?

I don't know if it helps but,

Here is the wiring diagram for the MSD

And here is the factory wiring diagram.

Thanks Again in advance :)

The gray tach output wire is probably the best choice.

That's what I'd try first. Should work with most setups.
