I wouldn't call it Epic. It's still recoverable and we'll work though it. Growing pains....


LOL....yep. My thoughts exactly. At least I don't have to pull the motor out of the car to fix this problem. That is a step in the right direction.
 
starting over

(headbang)well it seems like you guys got this mega squirt thing down i guess i stop messing with this emanage and buy one.since i got 650 injectors the emanage can not control them if i put the 310inj. back in then i won't have enough fuel.and i am not going to spend 400 or so on some 550s. i rather just sell the blue and buy a msII.(headbang)
 
make sure you have a megasquirt tuner somewhat locally or else you'll be in trouble making things work perfectly.... at least that's what i was told....

MS is pretty easy to use by yourself. It tunes using live WBO2.
 
i have been looking around but some people run the mega squirt but just on na honda cars. i am pretty good at tunning once i get the concept down.do you know which one works better on our cars? and i have a dyno i can use when i need to.
 
i hear people use MS as a Piggy back more than a standalone... bc people cant get ms to control everything yet... or am i way off....

time to re-read this thread....
 
no tahts corect but which on do we use. is it the msI ot the msII i want to get the right one
 
and is it better to get someone else to tune/install it if i dont have electrical circuitry background?

and let me get this straight on what we need:
MS I or II
Harness
Wideband
Laptop to tune
Maps

anyone care to elaborate on specifics? I'm sure Bigway and I will be eagerly waiting for the answer

It's easier to run MS as a piggyback for the sole reason that the MS isn't capable of regulating your alternator charging voltage, Tachometer,

and is it better to get someone else to tune/install it if i dont have electrical circuitry background?

I suggest heavily in researching before you jump in. join the MS forums and read the threads.
There isn't much info on here but I figure in the next 3-4 months, MS will be the next 'must have' cheap EMS.

extra sensors unless you want to tap into the stock lines.
 
Any way to get around not frying stock MSP coils ???


We are working on a separate ignitor module that plugs inline with the stock coils to make them fire correctly since they don't have internal ignitors. KCBHIW said he would be able to get it together in a few weeks.
 
thats what i thought, what about using one of the MSD ignitors ??

or get "real" coil packs from 07 ford medium truck ??

hmmm...........

Are you sure the stock coil don't have internal ignitor?
 
Not 100% sure, but that is the way it is looking. If you find any documentation that says otherwise please let us know.

i sent the ignition section from the workshop manual to Haltech, and they told me that our coils have built in ignition modules.
 
Interesting. I'll go back over my wiring and Megasquirt settings to see if I can figure it out.

Definately. I wish I could find specs on the bloody coils to be absolutely sure. I wonder if I can get my hands on a dead one to tear into.
