To be honest, I couldn't find a switched 12v sourced that didn't either drop down to 6v, or cut off completely during cranking. I spent about a day and a half with a multimeter too. I ended up just running a switch for megasquirt.

That's what it is. I almost guarantee it. I inadvertently flipped the pickup on the other ones that would have needed it. I'll confirm later today. Thanks for that! So now that just leaves why accel enrichment all of a sudden spikes on for a split second occasionally. It's set to 100% tpsdot, and I never tweaked the throttle through that entire datalog.

Big progress! It runs I pulled the rail and replaced two injectors that were A48 suspects, and bolted up my exhaust so I'm not dealing with open headers. I also went out and bought a new 280z clt, and now have coolant temp reading properly. So after a bit of cranking and attempts at running backwards, it'll idle (poorly). I hit all the plugs with a timing light, and for some reason 2&3 don't register anything. Occasionally the engine will rev a bit as if they got a few sparks. Maybe the latest log will help? Still get a few backfires here and there, and had one of what might have been a knock Another weird thing is that it seems like I occasionally get spikes of accel enrichment coming on. I'm not sure if it corresponds to the rpm spikes (assuming the sudden addition of spark to those two cylinders?), but it's something to look into. Now I just need to get my wb02 calibrated and put in the bung to see how my afr sits, and confirm and figure out why two cylinders aren't sparking. datalog200810282300.zip

Longshot, but where did you tap in for your relay ignition signal? If your relays are opening during cranking due to low voltage (megasquirt turns off while cranking), you're not going to get spark or fuel. This was happening to me with a low battery.

The stock mech fuel pump wouldn't put out enough pressure.

I double checked the diagrams for edis and ms while hooking it up, and the coil to module wiring was color coded, so I'm pretty sure it's all wired correctly. I guess I'll try that tomorrow, but based off of searching around the site, and the ACB order from the connector side on, I think it's correct. I just found out that I'm running a combination of 280z and 280zx injectors, in addition to running a req fuel of 5.5 instead of the 12-17 I should be based off the injector sizes. I've changed the req fuel to 14 (split the difference between the z and zx injectors) and will try it tomorrow, so hopefully even with different sized injectors it should still run somewhat. I've included the updated msq, with some additional ignition tweaks based off some reading. InitialTune102608.zip

Ok so, new Megasquirt install, having problems getting it to kick over and run. MS II PCB 3.0, Extra code version 2.0.1 Running Ford EDIS GM IAT 280z CLT (always reads 180*, checked resistance & need a new sensor) LC1 wideband (not calibrated yet, motor must be running to give power to calibrate) Stock 280z Injectors - Low impedance (195cc?) 240sx Throttle body and TPS I'm getting fuel to the rail. I've checked timing with a timing light, and it's 10btdc while cranking. I think I have the firing order right, I have 1&6 closest to the plug, then 5&2 in the middle, then 3&4 farthest from the plug. I'm showing rpms in megatune, so I'm pretty sure everything is wired correctly. So, when I crank it, it seems to putter a little as if it were trying to start, and sometimes cranks up to 400rpm or so, but usually backfires or stops itself back to 0rpm after a bit. That makes it sound like the firing order is off, but I color matched and double checked wiring, and referenced a few places for the hookup order. I've included my MSQ and datalog, hopefully that'll help. I'm not sure what else to check at this point. If my trigger wheel wasn't PERFECTLY centered on the dampener, and the gap changed a bit through the rotation, would that screw everything up completely? I'm open to ideas. MSQandData.zip

TNT ftw. More boom for your buck. Though without the former guns would still suck, so gotta give it props Widescreen or Standard aspect ratio computer monitors?

Happy late b-day funny admin

Don't tempt me. Just ran out and grabbed, what I hope, is the rest of what I needed to finish this. Spark plug wires, vacuum line, and the bolts and tap to mount the trigger wheel.

Since you're not using it, perhaps you could loan it to SSAC for a bit?

Thanks mat, they came in handy. Wiring progress... Sensors, injectors, main harness, and O2 is done. All that's left is EDIS and a few easy stock harness taps:

Perhaps, but not fansubbed.

Don't know how many people would use this, this but it couldn't hurt, could it? http://www.fquick.com/promote/

I posted a link to 13 on the previous page. I should have said eps 14 and up

Man that's impressive. I'd love to see the raw footage from that. That's it. Youtube is dead to me. Vimeo ftmfw

Anyone stumbled across any decently subbed episodes upward of 13 they'd like to share with the class? I can host DVD rips for awhile if need be. PM me if you snagged some subbed ebay dvds. The OG subber is starting over this weekend at ep3 where he left off, so it'll be awhile till new content comes out from him.

Next stop, CF inspection lids

Happy b-day dude!

They look great, very modern. I'd say slap a set of flares on there, perhaps molded in, and drop it. A good paintjob would go along way too, tends to complement the overall decision of wheels.

I'm young, and I like the Countach

The whole lack of signals, lights, and a plate could have come into play, lol

Gah! All that stopped me from slapping on the stock turbo and mani was the oil feed/return plumbing, and a j-pipe. J-pipe probably wouldn't have worked too well on a sx tb anyway, but I can dream. Maybe over xmas when I have more time I'll throw it on, but I just want to get it running for now. That is inspiring though, crap I want boost! There are two or three S30 guys (at the moment, and a few more putting around we need to recruit) here in Fayetteville, and one we know of in Fort Smith, so we could have 4+ cruising on 540 soon! Speaking of Wangan , I forgot to add one of my new goodies:
