Yeah ya know i dont really care about MS at the moment. Im over it.
Got the AEM, built my adapter harness, couldnt get it going so i dropped it off at Maximum PSI in Jerz and Mike R hooked my car up with a hall effect crank sensor + m50TU crank trigger wheel, and got the car running but no where near perfect (i was broke). I brought it home and grafted a TU motor cam trigger wheel and the TU cam sensor. Now it starts pretty well and runs good (still needs some work on accel fuel). I got together with a friend of mine at EPL in stratford and tuned ignition on the dyno. Pulled a ton of timing and pulled off a 322WHP and 319wq only spinning to 5500rpm (where it hits the boost fuel cut at 15psi. Fcuk boost creep). A few educated people suggested it would make 380-390whp if i could rev it out to 6.5 or 7k.
Hopefully getting a better head gasket from Maxpsi and ARP studs that i already had in the garage, installed in a week or two and just dealing with the boost creep and making that magic number 400whp or better...
I was waiting for the 400whp dyno sheet and some vids but you guys are needy.Leave a comment:

How are your ignition wires? Im worried mine are going to melt so I pulled them up and zip tied them to the injector harness.
I got my MS working, I can prob do it on yours. Altho, my problem was a dying coil. Yours sounds like bad grounds?Leave a comment:

K so the dude with Autronic flaked out. Oh well. I was having second thoughts about buying an ecu that the seller "knew nothing about" and "never tried to use"
That said, Chopper Dan over here has enlightened me on AEM ems. Its cheaper than this autronic was and performance is about on par. Im buying a 30-1050 ecu and a wiring harness for a 99 honda accord or w/e it is tomoro i think. This will be the basis of my P'nP harness. Also need to pick up a GM map sensor and a few other odds and ends and ill be all set to start wiring this bish. Sad note is that i wont get it till im back at school so progress will probably be kinda slow :(Leave a comment:

So... Slight update. Im getting my first paid vacation EVER!!!! Itll be nice extra $600 for nothing! Im going to try to get in a few hrs of overtime this and next week.Theres a guy selling a brand new Autronic sm4 for a really good price....
With the price and the extra week worth of pay i really cant pass it up. So Autronic is in my immediate future. One of my buddies who had a SM4 in his M3 will be "supervising" my install so im in good hands with that haha. Hes got access to a dyno too so we can really tune this bish! Its been way too long with no tuning.
Oh and i have to take my car in for emissions testing by Feb 23rd too. Hope i dont fail...
Anybody want a MS1v3.0 for cheap to play around with?Leave a comment:

Haha word son. I gotta call up Mike in a week or so and go over some stuff. If someone buys my Borbets that'll go towards buying an ecu. The cheapest im seeing AEM ems for is like $1900 so i ned some cash for that or itll have to wait till summer. :(
SOMEONE BUY MY BORBETS!!!!Leave a comment:

Thanks Byron! And everyone tells me its quick but im still not convinced. Before i had this manifold on it i was almost as fast as a STI with upped boost, intake, exhaust and a tune. I feel the cars faster now than it was then but im not 100% sure.
I really need to get it tuned. I need to figure out what ecu i want to buy.Leave a comment:

Hahahaha for sure dude. Gotta love how this shit works out.
Im not getting any pinging that i can tell. The plugs look pretty nice too. I think its due to the fact that im only running 9psi max. I think if i was making 21psi id be fucked hahaLeave a comment:

But it makes it fun as hell haha. Are you getting any ping at all? On my cars I'll probably see some death ping around 13.5:1 haha. Could be a lot to do with the compression ratio though.
When I trashed the rods on the 5 cyl motor I heard audible detonation right out the exhaust. 21 psi right under 3k rpms. OOOOPS. AFR's weren't abnormal though, was probably around 11:1 maybe at most 12:1. ( I didn't have my WBo2 hooked up then, but I didn't change any tuning for the new engine when I did get it hooked up).
From what I have experienced, my engine's ran very very nice right before they decided to give up. :) Kind of like a "good luck sucker" from my engine.Leave a comment:
