BLOZ UP

if i got wasted at a megasquirt get together, that would be awesome.

I'm in SA and I have lots of free time...

You need to get some Accel Enrich in.

A couple years at least.

A few bolts in there with tight spacers sounds like a real good idea. Thanks.

I will be welding it to the frame, and it will look similar on the other side, except the mount has more lower support from the tie rod thing. It's 1/8" steel. That's a VG30 going in my '72. It just seems too... wide... ?

Just to get the thing running, yes.

Does this mean what I think it does? Yessssss, giving the tool and equipment hook up? I'm going to miss my shop access here when I move to dallas and get stuck in my apt with my GF all day. Problem is, my project car will be stuck here till it can move on it's own... legally. Yeah, I had MSnS in my 50th AE Z31. I'm doing a VG30ET in my 240Z now, controlled with MSII. I've completed my MSII box and relay board, and it's just waiting for the rest of the car to be ready, which will be soon hopefully. My turbo was a good choice. I hit 18-20psi and made 390hp 440tq at the wheels. That was on 440cc DSM injectors. I was at 90% or so DC when I hit that. I sold it soon after that, never made it to the track or anything. Ugh, worst decision ever to sell that thing. I could have improved a few things to increase hp without increasing DC, but I didn't get that far. I think I will go with either that turbo (t3/t04e 57 trim, stg 3, .63 exhaust), or a GT35R. I'm aiming for at least 400hp with enough headroom for, say 500hp.

I doubt it. Get your car cooled down and take a reading with an ohm meter. Warm it up and do the same. You can guess some values (70, 200), or if you have a heat reader infrared thing you can get a more accurate reading. Might as well use the CLT instead though, if you can't figure it out.

Have you set your "code_variant" to MS II, in the megatune configurator? Also, even though it has improved a lot, megatune still has a kind of awkwardness. I remember in some old versions, some settings would not affect anything, some wouldn't stay set. Most of that is gone, however they still are not consistent in putting one kind of percentage in some settings. Example: MAT correction is +/- whatever percent you put in there (you can use the graph to tell), so if you put -10% percent, it would decrease the required fuel by ten percent. 0% is neutral. However, the Warmup Wizard uses 100% as the base, and anything less than that takes away, more than adds to. putting 90% here would take away the same ten percent. Now just look a little to the right in the Warmup Wizard dialog, and you can see the afterstart enrichment settings... which are based on 0% being neutral. Ugh! /Example My point is sometimes it is a little annoying, but you get used to it pretty quickly. Ok, well I sounded kind of angsty here, but my point was to really try and tell you that although MT and the MS setup is somewhat ... umm ... "obviously not of manufactured descent", it is well worth it in the end, and it is still loads of fun to tune with. Cool, that's the way to do it. A few of those pages you won't need to use. I think you can get some values for the CHTS in the FSM. The AEM wideband... does it have an extra output from the controller? I'm sure someone else has used it with MS before. The TPS is really easy to hook up, and then it requires just a little setup to work correctly. Also the injectors, all you have to do is change the Required Fuel setting, and pretty much everything gets scaled correctly.

You know, I've come to believe that those damned things have no other purpose to get hit by cars and smell. I wish they would go extinct.

Congrats. Are you on ricekiller.com? Or is it z31performance.com... ugh too many forums... I'll be moving to dallas soon, I HAVE to see this pathy. I had an idea of VG30ET pathfinder a long while ago, but went with car route instead. If you need any help while building it/installing it, let me know. I can probably help out. Um.. the LC-1 is the cheap alternative. And it hooks up nicely to MS. Have you seen the price of an AEM wideband?

Here are some values to maybe get it to start. You will want to turn off any kind of MAT, CLT, etc correction first--just getting it to start off the VE table alone. You can turn them on later and modify the VE table slowly back down (or possibly up) as you compensate with afterstart, MAT, etc, corrections. The ignition settings may be a little off. The ignition map is a very, very safe one. Also, the engine HAD to idle at 20btdc, IIRC. Oh, the req. fuel is for 270cc injectors, not yours. You will have to change that. It will be lower. Also, this is important: Notice that my VE table and Timing table axis each go to 300kPa, and only 6000 rpm. You will probably need to reset these to whatever you plan on using. My friend mentioned something about megatune interpolating the values when you change the axis, but I could be wrong, so watch out!

Yeah, there's a few things you can fill in. I'm doing the same thing, messing with Megatune and my MS box on the stimulator, just to do something. Of course, you need 6 injectors and cylinders, I like 2 squirts per cycle (alternating). Ummm.. erk, let me log onto my MS laptop to get some screen shots... before I recall something incorrectly...

Oh, about the CHTS idea... that actual sounds like a decent idea. As much as I hate that sensor... or rather, its location, it does have a more accurate representation of the engine's temperature. I might try it. PS - If you are using the GM sensors, get the MSD ones--they include the weatherpack connectors and everything: MSD-2320 MSD-2310

Speak of the devil.... Yes, I have done a MSnS (v2.2 board) on my old Z31 (VG30ET), with a bigger turbo and such. Now, I'm doing a MSII (v3.0) install on my VG30ET 240Z. I have the MSII assembled and ready to drop in, but I am still making mounts for the engine, and it will be a while before I can start the thing. The MSnS guide is pretty more complete, but it is not really going to be updated anymore. The MSII guide I have just started, but I already have the Z31 (err... VG) CAS working with MS, and know where I am going to route all the wires. In the guide, I have the beginnings of a wiring diagram made specifically for my 240Z, but it shows how to hook up the Z31 CAS. And you do need a weird resistor Well, anyway, check the site out if you have some time: http://www.blozup.com/ms.php If you have any questions, I have service manuals for the Z31, and can probably help out with any wiring woes.

place the engine as far back as you can get it...

I did a half-ass write up on this, on blozup.com I also am putting MSII on my VG that I'm putting in my S30. MSII is the way to go. It has much more precision than MSnS, etc, etc. I would remove everything, and run all new wiring and sensors. It only requires a few of them. Also, getting the relay board is really useful. Do you have AC and other accessories? Getting the VG to run is easy, but getting everything else to work (dash, AC) is slightly more complicated. PS - I am about to mount up my VG as soon as the steel I ordered arrives, thanks to the pictures you sent me eons ago!

ah, yes, ogrish.com -- my home away from home.

So, my years long idea of a racing stripe all down my body is a bad idea? Humpf.

Change your gas to 91/93. That should take care of the difference in compression.

I'm doing this swap into a '72. The motor mounts will require some involved fabrication, but the tranny mount isn't that bad at all.

I just did the "lock and key" delete mod, even removing the ignition switch. The only one who will be able to figure out how to start the car in any decent amount of time will be... Me. I'll also be the one wearing the steering wheel over my backpack while I'm at the mall/store/movies. Not that I'd ever take my car near any establishment populated mostly by anyone under the age of 25 or so.

What is this marriage thing you guys speak of?

Innovate LM-1 for the wiiiin. Or LC-1, depending on your setup.
