OPTION A: Cheap and functional. The MS-1 PCB2.2 with MSnS-E firmware.
There's no need for me to recreate the wheel here, Jamesl, the pioneer of this implementation of the MegaSquirt and the creation of the VAST PnP Wiring Harness Adapter, thoroughly documented this process back in late 2004. One week later I had my 86 MR2 running on a MegaSquirt-I PCBv2.2 by following Jame's documentation to the letter. He was shocked that it worked as well as it did, and all I could say was thanks. :) Since then he's brushed it up further and made some improvements for clarity and such. If you're running a MS-1 PCB2.2 you can go straight to the original source here:
My map for a stock 1986 MR2 bluetop 4AG, built on MSnS-E 024s9 Note that the above linked map is best used with 024s9 as noted, the tables are setup for boost BUT NOT TUNED FOR BOOST. Use this as a base map and expect to do some tuning to get it just right for your car. And as always, USE THIS MAP AT YOUR OWN RISK! YOU are responsible for tuning your car, this may help you though....

Use this as a base map and expect to do some tuning to get it just right for your car. And as always, USE THIS MAP AT YOUR OWN RISK! YOU are responsible for tuning your car, this may help you though....

OPTION B: Increased Robustness and Upgradeability. The MS-1 PCB3.0 with MSnS-E firmware.
This is very similar to Jamesl's PCB2.2 implementation, I've just adapted it for use with the newer MS-I PCB3.0 and moved the spark output over to pin36 which will make your harness adapter MS-II ready should you ever decide to upgrade. It also makes FIDLE available, but you probably don't care much about that as the TVIS intake manifold have a nifty coolant activated idle valve that's completely mechanical and not ECU controlled.
Start by reading Jamesl's document linked here: Jamesl's Article
Changes from Jamesl's article for the PCB3 MS-I Implementation: Then, since you're using a PCB3 MegaSquirt instead of the PCB2.2 his doc is based on you'll follow these mods instead of those in his article. You still use his wiring information for building your harness adapter-- with one change. You'll wire your ignition output (IGT on the Toyota side) to pin 36 on the MegaSquirt DB37, instead of pin30 as you did with the PCB2.2 implementation. So the changes boil down to: A) The Mods (documented below) B) Minor change in the harness adaptor (ignition output on pin 36)

Config Changes: (if you use my map from
the link above, which defaults to using FIDLE spark output as used with
the PCB2.2 install)

OPTION C: The 'Latest Greatest'. The MS-II PCB3.0
As with the other implementations, start by reading Jamesl's document linked here: Jamesl's Article
This actually isn't all that different from the MS-I PCB3.0 with MSnS-E installation, the ignition input comes in on pin24 and needs a 12v pullup. The ignition output goes out on pin 36, here's a difference though, you DO NOT need a 5v pullup on the ignition output with the MS-II as it has this pullup built-in. One other difference... you don't need to do any mods for TVIS control as you won't be using the FIDLE output for anything else so you can configure it as a 'spare output' and use it to control a relay controlling the TVIS system.
Mods Required
For
the ignition input:
TVIS
Activation
WiringYou can follow Jamesl's original MS-I PCB2.2 document for building out MOST of your harness adapter. The exceptions are pin30 is now your TVIS control, and pin36 is now your ignition output. Otherwise you're good to go.

This is laid out about as step by step as any MS installation out there as this
one is very well researched and documented, and I've got a lot of hands on
experience with it and experience helping others accomplish it as over the web
as well.
The nice thing about using this documentation is when finished you have a nice
little plug-n-play adapter to use that makes a neat little connection into your
stock wiring harness without hacking anything up.
