I will replace the fuse with a 2 amp right away, thanks for the input!

I am using one 5A fuse on the power wire.

I jumped into this megasquirt ecu with not near enough knowledge and understanding. At this point i feel like i have quite a bit of experience and know how. I recently sent in my MS2 ecu that i purchased for my eclipse as a last resort to the no start. It took about a month but i have my...

Wow thanks for the great feedback everybody! Also the prices I charged him were for a two stage coat, as in baked once for the metallic and once again for the clear soo it needs twice the powder as a solid color. I don't consider myself a professional by any means but I do what I can ;) also...

Thanks for posting the great video. After wok i called advance auto in town and they claim they dont have a noid light soo i used my test light and determined that i DO have power to the injectors. I believe i understand how the noid light works and i think the test light will work the same...

Alright well i finally got to get out with a partner to help me soo i can moniter fuel while they are cranking. Fuel pressure does have priming pusle, and does pump while cranking. I was afraid i didnt have enough fuel pressure because i am using a new afpr and just ran an entirely new feed...

Well for over a year now ive had troubles with my forged turbo standalone megasquirt 420a. At one time it ran but very poorly, since then ive gotten new cams, timed it about a dozen times til i got it right, got rid of the 1200cc and the e85 in the tank for more mild 650cc injetors and 87...

yes i am running ms, i will be buying a 1:1 aeromotive. I have an ebay afpr right now but prefer to not run ebay parts if i dont have to so im swapping it.

Dont I need an afpr to compensate for high boost? I plan on removing the stock filter/regulator.

I am running the 255 to feed my turbo build. I read up on returnless systems and found that they are often regulated by a pressure sensor that tells the regulates pump output, etc. Well because I am running a standalone ms ecu I have no pressure sensor. Because of the 255 and no factory pcm...

From researching a few posts I've seen some people saying some 420a's don't have a return on the fuel rail? 97-99? How does that work? Could this be my problem, if soo what years fuel rail should I be looking for, ide like a stock one as I've heard nothing good from aftermarket rails. On...

I have read a few other posts regarding fuel line routing but still have some questions. The car is a 98 gs. The way the po had the car setup is how it sets now except for the fuel pump swap. It is a wally 255 fp, the feed line runs to the stock filter/fpr, this then runs directly to the fuel...

thanks for the heads up, ile keep that in mind.

yep, sure did. The clear actually brought the shine of the chrome down a little imo but its necessary. Eastwood now has single stage chrome that doesnt need clear that id like to try soon. The letters are gashed up pretty good from what im assuming was a grinder.

wow wow settle down guys. I am the one who powdercoated the vc and housing. Im located in South Dakota not pittsburg also btw. The valvecover was not media blasted because it came to me stripped already. I did spend alot of time sanding and touching up until i thought it was perfect. I...

Its megasquirt, I wrapped up the engine bay harness and bundled it by where it goes through the firewall. All sensors and plugs were cut, if I find out what colors go to the relay I would work. What's the easiest way to get an engine bay wiring harness diagram?

I recently went full standalone ms2 and gutted the wiring in the engine bay. Only problem is now I have no power windows including sunroof and radio. I've searched through posts and found these are all run on the same relay. Only problem is the wiring to this relay was removed during the...

Pmed

That blows, I was hopin to not have to pull the head because I just need to time it and its good but if that's what I have to do I will. Anybody got any?

Well I was about done with my fully forged, 1200cc e85 fueled ,megasquirt powered turbo 420a project. When my garage/house was robbed. I lost all of my tools which included many snap-on, blue point, and craftsman tools, specialty tools, and power tools. I acquired enough tools to get me by...

yes, they are different. the pin in the exhaust cam is in the wrong place, but the pin to hole location are correct for intake cam. does anyone know if the intake will work?

why would head orientation matter with the cams?

but the cams on the right are what i believe r neon cams, ive been told neon cams wont work. Maybe only the neon exhaust cam wont work since the pin and hole is in the wrong location??

I had no other ideas why my 97 gs could be running so crappy. The timing all lines up but i decided to pull the valvecover thinking maybe the previous owner installed the cam gears wrong or something. I pulled the cam gears to see where the pins were because something didnt look right. After...

Well i have the crank pulley arrow lined up and cyl 1 at TDC. I read one post saying the intake cam dowel pin should be down while the exhaust cam dowel pin should be up. but also read the holes in the cams should be facing up. Which is it? Right now at TDC the intake cam has the hole up...

Well i pulled off the valve cover and aligned the arrows on the crank pulley. The exhaust cam is 180 degrees off and the intake cam is 90 degrees off!!!!!! How did it even run like this before???? Do you think i have bent valves? Should i just do a compression test to check once i have it...

sure, i was thinkin bout callin you to do a compression test again. after the last time i had it running it wont start. I have good spark still and good fuel pressure. Im really hoping its not a valve. Gona pull the valve cover and check the cam here in a bit

Well i bought a non-running gs that supposedly had a bad ecu. Finished the megasquirt install and have gotten the car to run but very crappy. I was reading a post about when timing a 420a one cam dowel pin is at 12 o'clock and one is at 6 o'clock. I went and looked and on my aem adjustable...

I just went to advance auto and spent a few dollars and got a sending unit socket and it came right off, no problem at all. But looking back breaking it off and loosening seems more like my style and much faster haha

I would tell you how i feel about the color but apparently negative comments are unwelcome in this thread.....

You have taken alot of your time on 2GNT to try and help me in your way but thats why i am looking for help here now because all i ever get is READ MSEXTRA......I have been reading MSEXTRA and the MegaManual til my eyes bleed and have a good understanding especially of the constants but am...

Ive been working on my megasquirt for quite some time now and i feel that the best starting point for me is to download a turbo base map similiar to mine and go from there. forged, crower stage 2 cams, e-85, 1200cc injectors, 10lbs of boost. I have found the symtech base maps but cannot figure...

I've also thought that when you buy the full megasquirt 420a kit that you will reciece everything you need to run your car on megasquirt. You need to call and talk to megasquirt before purchasing anything. I have no original wiring harness left and bought the symtech kit to run my car...

Same here, i had a buddy working on it from the top while i was working underneath and it came out easy i thought

Yes, all of this is very true. I am very familiar with all of the lt and ls platforms and in my opinion the ls1 is an amazing motor. and distributor on an ls1??? thats funny. coil on plug ftw!That wagon with the huge rims and lift disgusts me. I own an 86 monte carlo ss, and i hate to see...

i found cragar soft black 8 rims that come in a 15x7" rim that has a 4.25" backspacing. Would that bring me pretty close? Also will it even be worth swapping for my stock rims? How much do th stock 16" rims weigh?

Here are the dot legal sizes that bassett offers. any thoughts on which ones would work best? I kinda decided that i really would like to have them on all four corners. Any thoughts on which sizes and backspace would work best? is 8" wide a little excessive? i am fine with using longer...

Yes pics from u guys would be great!!! I thought ide be the only nut who's ever had the idea for dirt track style rims, i

I lofted my bed in my dormroom and built a shortblock under it. My RA tried making me take it out because rules say you can't have any fire producing objects in a dorm. I won with the argument that without a head it won't get fuel, compression, or spark so it is in no way a fire producing...

this thread just makes me excited for race season. I love the smell and sound of burning methanol from a fast revving huge cammed small block :hellyeah:

Anybody got any pics or thoughts on using bassett or bart dirt track style rims on my 2g? Dirt track rims here in South Dakota are very easy to find and are only about $50 a piece brand new. The DOT legal bassett"s im lookin at are 15x7 or 15x8. I'me basically just looking for something for...

This thread is old as hell but no, people do not run their circle track cars on the strip because they are not set up to go straight. Our late model class, dirt track, 600-700hp car would be imposssible to keep in a straight line the length of a quarter mile

Thank you everyone, that is very reassuring. i saw the h-beam design but i didnt know what the stock rods looked like, thanks again everyone.And no that is based off of a 1979 kz650 frame. 2004 gsxr1000 rear swingarm/wheel/monoshock setup, 82 kz750 bottom end, 810cc wiseco pistons...

Here is a pic i took while the oil pan was off to have the turbo return bung welded on. can anyone tell the difference between stock and forged?Actually i traded it for my beloved custom built 79 kawasaki streetfighter.... but he called later saying he owed 7000 in child support and needed...

I am finishing up my turbo/megasquirt 420a. I am hoping for high boost levels and have a motor that was "supposedly" all forged, crower cams, etc. It seemed legitimate because he had all of the boxes from the parts, and knew the exact specs. i asked the previous owner for pics of the motor...

yes please answer, im also very curious

Well as the title says im looking to buy a 2g GSX. I may sound picky but im looking for a lower mile, unmolested car, leather, and an automatic (if its a nice car a 5 speed is more than okay). Please let me know what you have, i am willing to drive a long distance to pick up

Thank you, thats just what i was looking for, also do you reccomend having them weld in a bung for the o2 sensor on the downpipe instead of using the one farther down the plumbing under the drivers seat. i plan on going wideband very soon to tune my megasquirt

Do you just leave it open as in no pipe on it running to the ground?

I may have missed this reply in the 30 pages here, but no that is in no way an ls1, it is an lt1. I guess they are snappy.... for a stationwagon. It may be a corvette motor like stated before, but it is also a caprice, roadmaster, camaro, and firebird motor also. so yes some peoples 92-...
