    How to wire up your LC1 to Megasquirt

    in MegaSquirt

    Posted

    Ok.. WEIRD problem..

     

    I've been running the innovate setup disconnected from Megasquirt to prevent it from pooping out..

     

    today I installed a 1/4 watt 470ohm resistor..

     

    and my guage is showing one thing... Megasquirt is showing something way different..

     

    for example.. my Innovate Guage displays 15.6 AFR

    Megasquirt displays 14.2 AFR

     

    When the wire is hooked up directly.. life is good, perfect match

    When the resistor is hooked up.. life is not good, NO match

     

    any idea's?!

     

    I do have an older version of the Innovate box, and I dont want to fry it!

    metal?!?

     

    I would say NO!

     

    if you detonate.. the head gasket will blow and save your engine

     

    with metal, you detonate.. and there is no where for it to go, other then through the piston or out the side of the block.

     

    My fel-pro has handled 18psi fine

    well.. today I torqued them to spec and noticed something interesting..

     

    the holes in the lifters did NOT line up with the holes on the head...

     

    hmm.. i wonder if each lifter has its own "home"... since I converted over to solids then BACK to hydraulics.. they were in a box.. and were not placed exactly in the same spot.

     

    Is each lifter different?! like a different thread start, or different depth or something?!

     

    I used a sharpie to mark the lifter to see if it lined up.. hmm

    and yet,.....ANOTHER!! video, new ACT 6 puck clutch.

    BTW I had to upgrade to a 3/4" master cylinder AND a 11/16" slave cylinder..

     

    I originally upgraded to a 11/16" slave out of a 1988 Pathfinder.. but the master quickly went after that.

     

    Yes the clutch is extremely firm.. be careful and try not to bend the clutch fork.

     

    the car will chatter bad for about 600 miles.. mine did and mine was sprung!

    hey phil can you take some screen shots of everything?! (shift+print screen, then copy and paste on paint or something)

     

    I have a much older version of MSnS extra ... and I cant view the file =(

     

    Maybe the fuel/spark maps?

    Tune it by density Altitude!

    Tune for density altitude?!?

     

    Now you are sounding like a pilot!!

     

    Density altitude affects performance to such great extends the Pilot Operating Handbook has density altitude charts and even the local airport has a digital density altitude monitor.

     

    especially at my altitude.. (5,600 ft msl) a hot 90 degree day is terrible.. almost 8,500 feet actual density altitude

    STI's really fly!

    If it was a fully built WRC rally car, it could take a beating like that and keep on ticking. Cracked windsheilds are common on all the current WRX models when they go serious off roading. Those WRC cars are nearly indestructable.

     

    Wrong.. watch the 2006 WRC Finland event.. Mikko Hirvonen landed so hard on impact he knocked the air out of the co-drivers lungs and cracked the wind screen! It was crazy!
