If I was unable to get the crank pulley balenced I would have machined down the a\c section of the pulley to mount my wheel. I didnt think you would get rid of PS.
I got rid of P/S before I ever thought about going Megasquirt so naturally why not
I have many many different roads that are empty where i have all the room and time in the world to do what ever I want. I can figure it out while someone or myself is driving the car, just wanted to know if ya had any tips off the top of your head.
Yea its pretty much just constantly changing variables and stuff to see how your reacts. What people have to understand is that with Megasquirt your pretty much redoing everything the factory engineers did for the ecu. Its constant testing until you get your motor running just right....
Today on the way into work, I was watching the wbo2 and made some adjustments as well as timing advance. Its definitly coming along easy, and I love the 3d tuning tables with the gauges off to the side. I worked out alot of querks that were in the ve table and the car dose not break up at any map or rpm reading now. Now i just have to dial in my afr's so i achive good fuel effeciency and make some power NA. Tomarrow I might be able to toss on my cold pipe and tune for 5lbs. I have my warm up enrichment set pretty well, it wonders from about a 14.5 when I initially start the engine to about a 15.5 right before teh thermostat opens. I have the GM CTS in the radiator hose, not in the head. Normally before I start the engine ill have to crank it for 1-1.5 seconds before it fires on its own, but if i cycle the key once so that it puts out the priming pulse 2 times instead of 1 time it will start up immediatly. Tomarrow ill lengthen the priming pulse from 2.0 to 3.5-4.0 msecs and see if start up is easier.(I will be tuning the car myself).
Are you running wbo2 thats wired into the MS or is it a standalone widebad like a AEM UEGO gauge, Innovate LC-1 or LM-1. Yea the Megatune software is pretty wicked, definatly more user friendly than some high-end tuning programs I've seen. Eventually I'll get around to tuning the warm up enrichments but as of now its not really a problem for me and I'm having just to much damn fun.
I highly recommend you use your stock coolant sensor, I definatly recommend using it because the radiator hose will give you a few degrees variance as opposed to a sensor on the head. If you want I'll give you the resistance values at different temps. All you have to do is rewire the plug and go into Megatune and input the values. Definatly ALOT easier for MSII as opposed to using EasyTherm for MSI users. I'm using the stock coolant sensor which is the same on all KA's and SR. If you dont want to use the nissan sensor you could always pick this up
http://www.tweakit.net/shop/product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=1355 its a coolant sensor that fits our thread, but uses a GM thermo resistor so no messing with the computer or values just plug in and go.
Tuning Megasquirt yourself is one of the greatest things about it, you do everything yourself and do it right, and you also learn a few things that are beneficial and can help tune other peoples ride as well. Theirs a lot of places and people in South Florida that claim to be tuners but are hacks and dont know anything about tuning.
The 2 times that i tried disconnecting the saw wire I was at different idle rpms, 22* and 27* so that kinda rules out the idea of the VR sensor being off. I will try restarting ms though and see If that dose it.
Try this, disconnect SAW and turn off the car completly. Grab a timing light and have someone crank the car while your using the timing light, if it DOES NOT read 10*BTDC you have a problem. If you already did this and it read 10*btdc than you should be ok and it might just be a problem with the EDIS Module.
What kind of mechanical issues are you having with the CA? How long has the car been driving with megasquirt installed?
Thats very very good news about the edis coil, hopefully I wont have any spark issues. I would like to get 350whp out of the engine.
thank you.
Eh I'm just having retarded issues like my turbo is leaking oil from one of the fittings, I believe its coming from the Oil In line. I also havent installed my exhaust because the downpipe I received doesnt fit at all. Other than the little BS crap my motor is sound and the turbo is performing beautifly I'm building boost at 2200rpms and seeing 7 psi at 2700rpms, I have a S15 GT28R incase your wondering. Hopefully once I get injectors, fuel pump and put on SS braided turbo lines since I reused the stock lines I'll put on my new manifold and hopefully we'll hit 300whp.
The car has been megasquirted for almost a year, I had the CA swapped in February and a week later installed and fired up megasquirt. Aparently the stock turbo took a dump I guess since it was past its time, than some douche bag broke into my car and stole $1000 worth of parts and my car sat for a bit, as well as I was doing other stuff like building the IC piping.
But so far its been about 4 months since I've been driving the car everyday around the city probably putting like 20 miles a day, and maybe over 60 a day on saturday as I like to head down to the junkyard. As long as I stay off boost I fill my car up once a month so I figure im getting over 30mpg but once I get all boost happy that goes to crap.

futur squirt user here also.......got any extra trigger wheels?!!?!?!??!? please say yes...
and you dont get any interference with the coils and edis box inside the car??????
Trigger wheels arent hard to get, if you need one I can always pick one up for you.
If your refering to electronic interference no, as long as you use shielded wires where it tells you too and use a Noise Suppression Filter than you'll be ok. I was fine before I had my CD player stolen.
