KTM-EXC

Up untill yesterday I had my money all ready to order MS untill I called my local dyno, http://www.f1dyno.com/ Which is also the only dyno with in this state I believe. Since there going to be the ones who tune it I wanted there input. They said they are not familiar with tuning MegaSquirt and prefer to tune with Greddy E-manage ultimate. It is not a standalone, just a piggy-back. Now, I know not too many of you guys, if any use this but from what I read it seems like it won't work on the old Z ECU's so would I have to use a Z31 ECU? They said for around $400 they would install it and dyno tune it with the wideband and all the other stuff they have. sounds pretty good to me. Any help would be apreciated, does any one know if I can get this to work with my car? Is there a down side to this system? I am really getting agrivated! I was 100% set on going with MS but now I am not sure. Thanks in advance, Rob

I also decided to wait for the graphite rims, he said it would be about 3-4 weeks

Jim is back and I just put my order through, very nice guy. How long did it take most of you to receive your wheels? Thanks rob

cool, thanks

Wow!! Those are some great numbers.

thanks for the pics, do you think It would hold up with high boost 17psi+?? Oh yeah, did your supra injectors fit fine with the pallnet rail? Thanks, Rob

I would have to agree, that is a very nice car and some real good numbers. I wish I had that much power

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&item=7993963928&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT I just bought this bov that is suppose to be a genuine HKS bov. ProXlamus- When put your intercooler in did you have to weld anything or did you use those rubber connectors? I would also like to add that you have a very nice car! Thanks, Rob

Forrest, Thank you for the link. Sorry if this is a dumb question but what is VexME? Also since I'll need a laptop I found my old laptop and figured it would work. I t came with windows 95 but it now has 98 which I heard was best to use with MS. It is a 199? HP Omnibook 800ct with a pentium processor. Is this any good?? It isn't really working right now but its a small problem and I know some one who is going to fix it. So if you guys know about computors, does it sound like something I could use for MS? Thanks, Rob

I think I am going to call up DIY auto tune as soon as my car gets back from paint. I have one more question the inovative WB 02 kits DIY sells are they compadible with MegaSquirt?

You are probably right as far as I shouldn't go cheap when it comes to a bov, I was just looking to see if anybody had any luck with them. Stinky, how long have you had yours? That intercooler pipe kit, does it look like it has enough pipe to put my NPR intercooler on? Thanks Rob

I have been looking for a bov to go with my new NPR and was planning going with a 1G dsm one but since I don't have any welding abilities don't think I could come up with a flange. On Ebay that have 6" long 2.5" straight pipe with a HKS flange welded in so I was just going to get that then get an hks bov, but those are expen$ive! So those ebay bov's are they any good or do I have to get the real thing? Also I found a pipe kit on ebay, does that look like it has enough in the kit to build what I need? Any feedback would be very helpful.

Even though I have decided that I probably won't be going with Microtech I still need to get in touch with Alex becuase there are a few things I wanted to purchase from him but I still can't get a hold of him. Some one gave me the number of the office he was suppose to be working at (MIC) but they said they didn't know any Alex Costa. So does anyone know his current phone number. Thanks Rob

Thanks you for the feed back. I had glanced at that sight before but this time I am really going to read the entire thing. I have printed off almost everything so I can read it over and over again. That took up about an entire box of paper and an entire cartridge of black ink, but well worth it! Rob

I have been doing a lot of research lately about what kind of fuel and ignition management system I should get and I have decided that MSnS Extra might be the way to go. Since MS is so cheep I have enough money right now to buy it. What I am really trying to figure out is if I will be able to handle the installation. I am only 16 and don't have really any experience working on cars, just motorcycles. I don't want to buy it and not be able to get it to work. I have talked with a local mechanic about helping me if I can't handle it, does that sound like a good idea? I am still not 100% sure of what I need. Right now I have a 83' ZX turbo that is stock but I just ordered an NPR intercooler, 440cc 7MGTE injectors, I am working on having an exhaust made and I have bought a whole bunch of other little things that are all not yet installed only because the car is being painted right now. I know I need an assembled MS unit, Water/Coolant temp sensor, GM HEI, Air intake temp sensor, Relay board, Wiring harness, tps and I am also going to get the LC1 WB 02 while I'm at it. I am still not sure If I want Version 2.2 or 3.0? Am I forgeting anything?? I plan on starting the project as soon as it gets back from the body shop in a couple of weeks. If any body has any suggestons for me or could help me in any way I would apreciate it very much. Sorry about the long post. Thanks Rob

I just wish I had a welder and the ability to weld. I have gone through so much crap to try and find some one to make me the exhaust, Atleast now I know I have an option for a Down Pipe. I'll be atleast $700 into the exhaust before i am done. Sorry to get side tracted.... I am just very fustrated.

thanks, sounds good

I would get something a little bigger becase you say that you want 250hp, but boost is like crack, it's adicting.

Sorry to bring up such an old thread but I was wondering if you had finished installing that intercooler because I just bought what I think is the same one(19.5"X 14.5" with 2.75" inlets and outlets). If so do you happen to have any good pics? Thanks

Thanks, sent you an email

Thanks for the suggestion, I have read A lot about MS but I am still deciding. A lot of people seem to be happy with it. The thing is I am only 16 and have very little experience wrenching on stuff other then motorcycles so I just want what is easiest. I do have an ol' laptop with Windows 98' so I guess MegaSquirt is definately an option. So do you think some one as young as me could handle it? I could wait untill this winter so I have the entire winter to get it running. I still want to get in touch with Alex at precision engines(is that the right name?), because I was told he could help me with the installation of my intercooler. I just bought a NPR on Ebay, It is 19.5"X 14.5" with 2.75" inlets and outlets and I am not sure I can handle that project by myself either. Thanks for your help it's nice to know I have some support, This website is awesome!

I have been looking into fuel and ignition management systems for my 83' ZXT. After doing some research I think for some one like me Microtech would be very easy since it utilizes stock sensors and I like the optional hand controller. From what I have read Alex Costas is the person to see for this but I had e-mailed him a week ago and still can't seem to get in touch with him. I also heard he could help make me an intercooler pipe kit. Does anyone know a way to get a hold of him?? Maymbe a phone number? Any help would be apreciated thanks ktm

I am also looking into one for my 83'

I just got off the phone with Konig and Jim is the only person involved with the deal and he will be out untill Aug. 22! I already signed up for NASA, will i be to late to order?

I think I am going to order tomorrow. For a 280ZX will the 15X7 rewinds with 0 offset bolt right up or will I need a spacer or something? This is an awesome deal, I wasn't going to get new rims but this a perfect excuse!
