Bump

Thank you for your kind response but I asked what I asked for a reason. This is not a skill restraint, but instead a time restraint.
-
Before you say it, yes I already checked the map info sharing thread in the FAQ. The only one that matches what I need was posted in 2006 and has long since 404d.
Anyways I've got a MS1 V2.2 board running fuel only, hoping somebody has a decent map to save me a little bit of time. Bone stock L28e out of an 81ZX, Innovate LC-2 wideband, GM temp/IAT sensors, and the 240SX TPS.

Looking for a stage 2 or 3 for a street build, PM me offers.
-
Was about 2cm across and flat. Edges were rounded other than the insides of the little overhangs.
-
Dropped the 5speed out of the ZX I bought as a parts car and when I was draining the oil I found a little clip looking thing stuck to the plug. Drew a picture of what it looked like in MSpaint, can anyone identify what it is? I had no shifting issues for the week I drove it.
-
Uh, you aren't being cheap by purchasing TWO ECU solutions and wiring the car TWICE.
Buy the product you need, the first time, and be done with it. Or, spend triple the money to do it twice. I can see which one is cheaper...
Triple the money? The additional cost is going to be $250 max and for that I'm going to be able to enjoy my car much sooner so I'm really not seeing what you're on about.
-
No trigger wheel, just a signal off the coil? I can deal with that. So that leaves me with needing a TPS, IAT and what else? I'm assuming the temp sensors already in the block can be used?
Actually I was planing on going with a Haltech Elite when the time for the RB30 comes, but to do that I'm gonna have to follow the thread title and be a cheapskate for now
Though things like the wideband and gauges that will transfer over in between the two setups I will splurge on soon. -
Alright, little bit of backstory first. I've recently finished restoring my 260z body and suspension wise and am currently building up an RB30 on a stand. I'm not on a very high budget though so the build is slow and it's going to be a bit under a year before I can afford all the parts. What I wanted to do was throw in a L28 temporarily just so I could scoot around to car shows and such. So, what I did was bought a $400 280ZX off craigslist and yanked the motor/trans.
Now here comes the reason I'm posting in the MS forum. Everything wiring wise on this car is screwed. Every plastic connector was cracked, every grommet was gone and insulation with it. The twist and electrical tape splices everywhere doesn't help either. So at this point I'm deeming the original harness JUNK. That puts me in a bit of a problem because I was going to just transplant everything. So now two options, either I go carbed or I go MS. I am a fan of fuel injection so MS seemed right for me, though I'm on my second read through of the megamanual and things are still fuzzy.
What I've gotten so far is that a MS1 is going to be best fit, considering I'm only going for fuel control and just want the damned thing to move. Also by searching through threads it seems there's a difference in distributors? What I've got is that I'll have to throw the l28 trigger disk and sensor from diyautotune in my 81 dizzy or switch over to an 83 that's compatible OOB. I know these questions have been asked and answered many times before probably so if you could point me to some threads or just give me some general info that would be awesome. Oooooorrrrrrr if somebody would be so kind as to donate some SU's and related parts
-
Eh, a little under a year wouldn't be a bad estimate. Some of the things I'll need to set up anyways such as fueling, wideband and some other wiring. There's a couple shows early this year that i'd really like to make it out to so worth it to me. I'm considering at this point just ripping the harness out of a junkyard ZX and just kinda stuffing it under the hood.
-
yeah, not going turbo or anything, just want the bare minimum to get this thing moving while I'm building up an RB on the stand. My buddy happened to have a MS2 laying around for me to use.
-
MS forum? I saw the MS subsection in the FAQ and there was some good info but I'm mostly just looking to see what others are running as far as sensors and wiring. I'm also reading through the megamanuals but there's quite a lot.
-
Alright, pretty simple question. I have these three things:
- L28 out of an 81 ZX
- Megasquirt 2 with 10' harness
- 260z
What do I need to get this working as cheap as possible? The ZX came with a cut harness so I have none of the original electronics besides what's attached to the engine. From what I've read so far I'm going to need an IAT setup (If somebody could elaborate on what I would need to do there that would be great). wideband sensor (Is the Innovate LC-2 on diyautotunes site a good setup?), and a bunch of misc wiring components. I also saw something about having to use resistors on the stock injectors but I'm not too sure.

Dansport never built a 240, that's a 260. Other than that great video.

Nope, didn't show up in my searches. Thanks a lot though!
-
Or if anyone has bought these brackets and feels competent enough to blueprint them for me I would be happy to pay a fee for your time.
-
Does anybody know if there's a CAD file floating around for the conversion brackets that datsun-parts on Ebay sells? For what they are that price is atrocious and I'd rather just mill my own.

So I have two engines on hand to swap into my '74 260Z. A RB25DET Neo or a 340 4 bbl out of a '71 Cuda. Car is going to be daily driven and occasionally taken the the track/rallycrossed. I see pluses on both side but am slightly leaning towards the RB. Majority decides it, reply with your reasoning
-
In the middle of a RB26 swap on my 260Z and am now coming to the transmission. I could order a used RB25 5 speed and new flywheel/clutch for about 2500 or go for a RB25 auto trans for much cheaper. The car is a daily so 350HP max until I can afford a new Haltech unit and then it will be switchable tune. I have a megashift controller from another project so that has the electronics covered. Other than that, what all is there as far as installation go? Would it fit with my McKinney mount kit? I've never done much with auto transmissions before.

I keep seeing them go for $100-200ish, every penny counts.
