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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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

Well its the time in my build where i need a downpipe, its the only thing i have left to do before i can drive and begin tuning my megasquirt. Im going to have my local exhaust shop build my downpipe, and am wondering what everyone else has done, and what it cost them. Also does anyone use a...

Sorry if this is in the wrong category but i couldnt find anything for threads relating to wiring.After removing my entire stock wiring harness after going standaloneMegasquirt on my 420a Eclipse i have run into a few problems. Everything in my interior works fine still except for my power...

Well ive searched the forum and have found alot of people asking what turbo for a stock type 420a, but i am looking to get as much power out of my build as i can. I have eagle rods w/ wiseco pistons, crower stage 2 cams, ported head, pt cruiser valvetrain, 1200cc injectors, 255 lph pump, and...

am i blind or is there no lsd install vfaq?

I am making alot of progress on my 97 barcelona red eclipse. Right now it is stock body, wingless, black painted stock rims, and night shaded taillights. I would really like to see some nice clean examples. I look around alot and dont find too many in this color. Pics of mine at link...

Well im sure i wont get a whole lot of respect because of the motor in my dsm but its what i had to work with and ive put alot of hard work, money, and time into it which alot of you can respect. I traded the car for a bike i built (bought it back later for $800 cause the PO was going to jail)...

Well today i finally got my 420a started for the first time with the standalone megasquirt ecu, and turbo conversion. It still needs a downpipe but i couldnt wait to see if it would start. It smoked fiercely, and it was blowing oil out the turbo and wastegate dump from the manifold. Nothing...

ive found similair posts while looking through the forum but havent answered my specific question. I need to wire my megasquirt for my 420a to one of my ignition wires. It needs to be on while cranking and when in the on position. Theres about 5 wires coming from the ignition key switch and i...

I installed my walbro 255 lph pump in my 420a eclipse. hooked everything up correctly, plugged it in and bolted the pump cover back down. Now when i turn the key on the pump kicks in but only for a couple seconds then goes quiet. i thougt my fuel pressure regulator wasnt working so i pulled...

I am building my turbo/megasquirt 420a and am thinking about running e-85. Would e-85 be better for high boost since its higher octane than the pump gas i have access to. I know i would need to remove the rubber lines, and im pretty sure my 1200cc rc injectors will keep up with the extra fuel...

My megasquirt will be here any day now and I plan on using it for fuel and spark. Does this mean I can completely get rid of the old ecu by the fusebox under the hood? Also is there a bunch of wires that I can just get rid of? The PO didn't do a real clean job installing the motor, there r...

Hey, once again I need help. All my turbo parts showed up today :). Do I need a regulator when using my new walbro 255lph pump? I would like to get everything hooked up but I got some stuff to work out and have looked at b4 I tune 4 boost. If I bolt up my manifold/turbo/wastrgate/downpipe...

Ive been workin on gettin my gs on the road and get some mods done. i bought it running but with problems. It needs an ecu so today i purchased from symtech labs a megasquirt system for my 420a so i will hopefully get the car running good soon so i can start modding. Mods recently done to car...

First of all i would like to say hi and this looks like a great and helpful forum. Im a very mechanically inclined college student, i have 5 motorcycles (prefer the older kaw superbikes) 75 z1, 79 kz1000, 83 gs1100, 1428 kz dragbike, custom kz fighter, and drive an 86 monte carlo ss for my dd...
