Hey guys i'm Still having problems with my car. Here is an updated log and tune. The car does not like any throttle movement i have to keep it at about 10% throttle. It also wont go over 2psi of boost. What do you guys think? Can something be wrong on my setup or the MS it self or does the tune just need more work? Appreciate any feed back https://www.dropbox.com/s/566iz9ss365z667/2014-06-22_17.12.51.msq https://www.dropbox.com/s/sa1toakwk8bq8qp/2014-06-22_16.20.37.msl Thanks Manny

Wickiewicked240z, Yeah that's me! @ motomanmike, Thanks for you input and advise.

NewZed, I did not buy the the map sensor to fix the problem. Metro, I know the map sensor would not change the values in the VE table I was referring to the range of the ve table. Yes I'm running 480cc injectors. Dexter72, I have a few of Cygnus maps along with a few others I found that are close to my setup i might have to use them as references. Thanks for your feed back guys, thanks to all the feed from you guys and DIY we re-looked at the map and might have a grasp on it now. I will posted the progress The issue might be 1. inexperience with MS. and 2. insecurity, I think we are holding back too much because we are afraid to hurt the engine due to the lack of knock sensor. Whats advise do you have regarding number 2? any pointers? thinking of buying the knocksenseMS from http://www.viatrack.ca/ when dealing with timing what is conservative, Traditional, aggressive and just plane extreme? Thanks Manny

Hey guys I'm having some issues with my car and wanted to see your advise. Here my issue. my L28et running MS2 which My buddy is tuning ran into an issue that the car will not take boost it runs fine under atmospheric pressure but as soon as we get any boost it falls on it face it cuts the fuel at 1 or 2 psi. I recently swapped the regular map sensor for the mapdaddy 4bar map sensor, would incorrect settings make this happen? we did notice that the VE table is still displaying the same range as when the 2.5 map sensor was on. Any ideas or suggestions? Ben at DIYautotune said "that tune shows excessive fuel and a large fall off on timing advance. The motor has no chance of running on that file" Thanks, Manny you can see my MSQ by going to this link since i was unable to upload. https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ss4vi8a63jm18k/2014-06-23_manny240z.msq

im going to try some of Cygnusx1 tunes

I already looked and searched on existing maps thread and the thread says not to ask for maps on that thread to start a new post. I'm just asking in case someone has my same setup.

Hi guys, I want to know if any has any MS2 MSQ or map they can share for my new setup. Im running MS-II PCBv3 4 bar MAPDADDY My set up is build L28et with P90 head and N42 manifold L28ET bored out to 88mm Ratio is at 9:1 Schneider cam 284-70F Head is mildly ported -T3/T4 hybrid turbo -AEM 50-1200 electric fuel pump -upgraded fuel rail -240sx TB -Arizona Z TB spacer -CX racing FMIC -3 inch exhaust -FORD EDIS 36-1 trigger wheel with VR sensor. Still on the Ford Module with Coil on plugs. -injectors are 480cc at 43.5psi (3bar) You guys were such a big help last time so I thought I’d ask again. I’m getting the car tune but my tuner has me waiting. So I thought I’d ask to see if someone has a tune I can use for now. Also any suggestion on a spark plug I’m using the NGK coppers with a smaller gap. Thanks Manny

thanks dough I will let you know if I need anything else.

Zya. Well I pretty much need everything haven't had time to go hit the yards. The main thing im looking for is the trigger wheel and the sensor bracket. preferably the pulley with the trigger wheel. Ednasty619 what do you have and how much are you asking? Pm me

anyone selling a EDIS setup for a megasquirt L28et???

Hey guys haven't been on here in a while but busy with work and working on my z's. But I have a dilemma, I build my motor this summer, it looks good & promising I'm running MS2 on the car and it was running good but had not opened it up to full potential until it was broken in. However the car took a turn for the worst last night it would not even start i took it back to my tuner for him to look at. So my dilemma; Should I stay with Megasquirt or switch to something else for engine management? I had really good results on my first 240z with a Z31 ecu. I have mix feelings on MS. I was also told to go EDIS if im going to stick with megasquirt. what do you guys advise?

Now that I worked out and figured out my dead time where do I input that value?

i finally got around to spend sometime on my Z and I did the whole plot a graph thing to find the injector dead time. I came up with a 0.3ms dead time. I also installed my wideband but its acting funny. I calibrated based on the instructions that came with it but I think it reset it self when the battery gave out. So now I have a question does the o2 get un-calibrated when it loses power? Do i have to take out o2 and re-calibrate? Thanks

So you don't use the wideband 2.5 mm output db9 serial adapter?

I finally got my innovate LC-1 wideband i will be installing it hopefully tomorrow. but I have a quick question, when using the wideband does it have to be plugged in to the serial port on my laptop or just as long as the wideband analog out put 1 or 2 is wire to the megasquirt o2 input wire?

Ok thanks I couldn't figure it out last night maybe cause It was late and I was tired. I checked them out this morning but I dont know when ill get a chance to work on my car. On the injector dead time is that only calculated according to megasquirt. Or can that be calculated on a injector test machine

Thanks for the help Daniel, I really appreciate it but How do I view the files? lol

Ok I just ordered my innovate LC-1 wideband as well as payed for tunerdtudio. Thank GOD for credit cards lol! SO Tunerstudio MS pretty much tunes the VE table right? How about spark? I know there's a write up on tuning with megatune, Is there an up to date write up on how to tune using tunerstudio?

I guess im going to buy tunerstudio and a wideband!

I guess im going to buy tunerstudio and a wideband!

How much is tunerstudio?

ok im going to buy the innovated LC-1 wideband is there anything i should be looking at before I buy? Are they all the same something like a universal fit? After I buy the wideband do I also need to buy the full version of tunerstudio? What are the benefits of buying it?

If I don't have the money for a wideband I definitely don't have money for a dyne tune. Well it seems like ima need to get a wideband. What's a good cheap wideband I can buy? Any body knOw or have a wideband I can get for a good price?

unfortunetly I dont have a wideband. Im building on a budget and I think I just about squeezed every penny on this project for now. I need to fix the Tranny on my TT its kind of a priority since I actually drive it to meets, carshows and the track. after I take care of that then I can caugh up the money for a wideband. Any suggestions, advise or help would really be appreciated.

I want to know if any has any MS2 maps they can share for my set up. Im running MS-II PCBv3 My set up is Stock L28et with P90 head and N42 manifold -T3/T4 hybrid turbo -MSD 2225 electric fuel pump -upgraded fuel rail -240sx TB -Arizona Z TB spacer -CX racing FMIC -3 inch exhaust -Stock distributor with Z31 module -injectors are 450cc at 38psi, 480cc at 43.5psi (3bar)or 500cc at 47psi I have some files from the map sharing post or other old post (like metro's, raven's and ninner's)but seems like all the maps are for MS1 Im thinking of using ninner's but he has MSD 6al witch might be the only difference. any help would be appreciated, Its about time to get my Z running and driving. Thanks guys!
