280zwitha383 Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 This will be a long time in the making but I would like to eventually have a megasquirt controlled 5.7l Vortec engine in my '73 240Z. I searched for "Vortec" under the Megasquirt section and it said no matches?!!? So, I was wondering if anyone has done this here and (now I'm sure this is a shot in the dark) if anyone makes a pre-made wiring harness for using MS with the vortec engine. So far all I have is the engine with the intake. I atleast need to get a stock wiring harness so I can begin splicing this thing together. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ~Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zwitha383 Posted February 20, 2007 Author Share Posted February 20, 2007 Haha, well almost exaclty one year (and no replies) later I have purchased MS1 v2.2 from a gentlemen on here. I have looked everywhere and never heard of anyone using MS with the 350 vortec so I guess I'll be the first one..... great. As soon as it gets here in a few days research will begin. Wish me luck.

award280 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 If you haven't already, check out the forums at msefi.com. A ton of MS specific info can be found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARZ_ Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Im not trying to talk you out of MS but with all the GM ECU's like LS1 edit and the like why dont you go with something like that. Its cheap its proven and it should be a plug and play deal. I think there are plenty more that are GM specific ECU's that are cheap and easy, for use with GM V8's and GM wiring harnesses, that might be the reason for lack of response.

280zwitha383 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Well, I really want to get into MS and learn so that I can eventually run it on my 383. In this case It was about the same price as it would be to buy the harness off of ebay for a Vortec 5.7 (about $175). I just don't know where I'm going to get the sensor connectors now though.
