I ordered a MegaSquirt DIYPNP ECU with blue tooth connection and ignition components to replace the old ones. Soooo......
I plan to install this new list all at once. I have ordered it all and paid for it and am just waiting on the ECU to arrive.
-Megasquirt standalone ECU
-Sniper wet 50 shot nitrous with the second stage of water/meth.
-Acer Iconia windows tablet. To run the tuning software.
-Two stage, three port water/methane injection. One 50 ccm injector prior to the charger and two 90 ccm injectors after the inter cooler. The 50 ccm injector and one 90 ccm injector will run based on boost levels and the other 90 ccm injector, the second stage, will activate only with the nitrous. All 3 injectors have a 230 ccm flow at 150 psi and 320 ccm at 200 psi and full boost with nitrous.
It arrived! I wish I had the cash for a Haltech or a FAST system!!!!
I got the main board of the ECU done but have to wait to get some info from DIY to do the jumpers to match the pin out. I must say the DIYPNP so far is not hard to assemble given the instructions are not so good beyond the basic assembly. None of the abbreviated acronyms for the board functions match the ones toyota used so this is an issue. Also I dont have a clue how to get the SC to fire or how to set the solenoid configured on the board, so.....
How it looks after just the resistors are installed. They come completely bare.

Here is the assembled unit waiting for jumpers and the case. These units come COMPLETELY unassembled. Meaning I had to solder everything. :( Hope I got good connections.

So very soon it will be a 14psi boosted, nitrous/water/methane breathing monster. MUAHAHAHA :cheers:
Standalone computer system all done. About 4 hours of soldering and nail biting. It took its firmware upload and all went well. :dance:

Still need to decide which output i want to run the super charger relay and I still need to attach the ignition coils to there respective points on the board.
Woah :eek: , the Nitrous System is nice and all but in time that motor will blow. I have seen way to many of my friends imports integra's, honda's, etc,.. whom have had nitrous and all of them have done engine rebuilds numerous times. Trust me you will be popping that thing at every red light when someone challenges you.
Ride it like you stole it but that nitrous is serious, and on such a light car can be dangerous.
This is a myth about nitrous and all blown engine rebuilds as a result are caused by improper tuning or to much nitrous. If they are rebuilding there engine they have there timing advance set to aggressive for the shot they are using, or they are spraying to much.Quote:

Nirous is no different than forced induction. You just spray the oxygen instead of pumping it in. Also the water/meth injection will prevent any damage your honda friends sustain. The second stage of water methane is set to engage with the nitrous. So I have an extra measure of protection most dont have when running nitrous. This engine will see many seasons at the track and many miles as a daily driver.
I have conversed with several and you can run this engine on a 50 shot for three years and over a dozen bottles and it will be fine. This is the strongest engine of its size ever produced. Compleetly stock the internals can handle 21 psi of boost :eek: and 400 whp. :wow:
This is all assuming I get it tuned right, and dont die. Haha
:cheers:
I have been to several auto cross events and i wasted supercharged 350Zs, STIs, Evos,........ by up to 5 seconds. I am running times with the slower track cars and it is still at 10 psi and no tune. A fast time at our track is in the 60 second range for a street car. I running around 56-59 seconds now. After I add the extra 100 hp and wider rear tires I hope to drop to the low 50s. That is what the really really fast cars run, and not one drives there car to the track like I do. haha
And I am a really bad driver :tard: . Not used to something so,,,,,,,,,,,, BRUTAL!
On hondas I seen it like I said before. I cant really say anything on your engine.
Hey on a different note get some videos up when you are at the track running it.
My GoPro died on me the last two times :mad: I will borrow a friends next time and get some video for sure!
wow, i've been silently watching this and admiring the job youre doing on it until I saw the MEGASQUIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ever done one before? HAVE FUN :eek:
Well the $500 price tag and it plugs into the original wiring harness makes it worth a try. I debated this very thing for months and decided it was worth the attempt. The other option is a totally new harness and ECU. This option is WAY more expensive and the only gains are features I dont need. I here nothing burt good things about these units. I dont need a 30 square map. The stock map is 12 square and so is this new system. I spoke to several dyno tuners at shops and they said they have no issues with MS systems. For the final reason I want this to work,,,,,,, Its OPEN SOURCE! :dance:Quote:

And lastly there is a guy on the forum dedicated to the 4ag engine that will help me get it all going for a very reasonable price and he likes and works with megasquirt, haltech, FAST, AMS.... He says they all work as good as the other but all have there short comings.
All I need is the ability to do basic performance functions and the ability to switch between maps for the driving type i am doing. This ECU does that and more.
Is there a reason you dont like megasquirt? Because I had a hard time finding bad reviews. Also I am quite good at figuring things out. :shooting:
i dont disslike megasquirt... people like it because its open source. but I know alot of people who say "I love megasquirt, car runs great... when it runs"
The bold part has nothing to do with the ECU itself. They either work or they dont. It sounds like wiring issues or really poor tuning. The problem is it is DIY and from my experience few,even those with skills in the DIY area, are any good at at this level of diffuculty. The biggest mistake with MS systems is people think a street tune is good when you NEED to dyno tune it. Even then you need to do a resistance tuning through all the RPM ranges and not all dyno machines can do this function.......Quote:

Either way i am hopeful it will work.
:cheers:
well if anyone can do it, hill, youre it :hail:
Any updates Tracy?
The car and ECU are getting a tune and some wiring work done right now. I found a local-ish guy on the forums that does tuning as a side job. Better to get the new computer and larger injectors installed prior to the water methane and nitrous.
So soon I should have initial numbers on the setup. :D
Also I have the race tires mounted and ready to rip.
Ok, so this is absolutely a thread necro... but I couldn't resist. I want to know how the story ends!!! Did you get the car finished up hill?
