    MS Cranking Signal Issues

    Hello allI have been installing a MS2 V3.57 full standalone on my 420a eclipse for about a month now. Everything is going great so far. Most of all the sensors are hooked up besides injectors and ignition coil. Hooked up the crank sensor today to try and get an rpm signal while cranking the...

    420A What is needed for megasquirt?

    Alright guys I have my pre-built megasquirt 2 v3.57 in hand from DIYAUTOTUNE. I have attached the quote sheet they gave me listing some of the internal mods that were done to the unit. They asked a bunch of questions before hand to come up with the right mods. I understand the 420a needs two...

    420A What is needed for megasquirt?

    How is this done exactly, any regulator in specific? Thanks Paul

    420A What is needed for megasquirt?

    Perfect, now that you say it I do remember a white output wire coming from the gauge that I didn't use. Well so far it all sounds pretty straight forward, I think my next steps are really just to order the unit and let them know what platform its for in case they need to do any internal mods...

    420A What is needed for megasquirt?

    Thanks for the info guys, I currently have an AEM wideband gauge so I'm guessing the signal wire from the sensor itself will have to be spliced into the megasquirt along with the gauge itself? What about the factory narrowband sensor?

    420A What is needed for megasquirt?

    I have been running a fmu/stock ecu turbo setup for years now and I am ready for megasquirt. Tired of all the bugs/unreliability and really just want to make the jump from one to the other.I'm new to the whole megasquirt/tuning deal but have been doing alot of research the past couple weeks...

    Camshaft seal replacement without completely removing timing belt

    I see what you're saying, if I remove one cam gear all the tension will be on one cam. However it's also risky taking the tensioner off because the belt may fall off the crankshaft pulley. I'll have to try it and see what happens. I've seen a video of a guy with an evo who changed his cams...

    Camshaft seal replacement without completely removing timing belt

    Hello all,I know this has been discussed alot in the 4g63 world but I can't find much info specifically for the 420a, and am wondering if any of you have done this.Anyway my new camshaft seals are leaking after completing a brand new headgasket/timing components job. I want to change them...

    420A Excessive crankcase pressure under boost

    Yes I have the catch can hooked up as a sealed unit. I think you are right though about the lines being too small, I'll try swapping the hoses like you said. However what about my pcv valve? It won't fit on the smaller fitting on the VC, should I just run the check valve instead? What's going...

    420A Excessive crankcase pressure under boost

    Okay I got my new intake setup with a port connected to the catch can outlet for vacuum. Did a few hard pulls and still no luck, can fills up about a half inch. I'm really stumped now, I really don't know what other options I have. It's strange cause it used to be totally fine in the past with...

    420A Excessive crankcase pressure under boost

    Alright ladies and gentlemen I have results from the compression test. Take note these numbers were taken from the engine that was running about two hours before the test. Also add that I am running low compression 8.5:1 JE pistons.Dry Test: Cylinder 1 - 175 Cylinder 2 - 168 Cylinder 3 - 180...

    420A Excessive crankcase pressure under boost

    I have not done a compression test, but I'm in the market looking for one currently. Car runs great, zero smoke out of the exhaust, -20inhg of vacuum at idle. Idle is smooth and doesn't jump around. Pulled the plugs and they are all dry with a tint of gold color. I'll do a compression test next...

    420A Excessive crankcase pressure under boost

    So I wanted to test what would happen if I drove around without boost, staying in vacuum on boost gauge. Somehow my catch can is still getting some oil into it, even when I baby the car. Starting to think maybe the height of my can is a problem, right out of the line on the valve cover it's a...
