I was just woundering if any one has done a stand alone fuel system on a 280zx, and if so how much did it cost and how hard was it to do? And what are the benifits. Any info would be great thanx.

 

there's a very recent thread on here where someone put mega squirt on their s130. it worked out GREAT. i think he only had about $400 in it. which is good considering that you probably would be pushing to replace the stock system for that.

 

MegaSquirt and Spark (MSnS)

SDS

Z31T ecu

Jim Wolf

etc etc etc.....

Yes, many have done ecu upgrades.

 

after all the ecu is the weak point of these old fi cars.

 

Wolf 3D - for turbo cars.

Megasquirt is the cheapest, offers the most user 'at home' adjustability, and probably the most difficult to set up.

 

That's what I like about Nistune, is you can convert to the Z31 ECU/MAF setup then install Nistune into that ECU. So it won't require any other harness/sensor modifications. Plus it'll have a rom image installed so once you have the board installed in the ECU you can immediately drive it like normal. Then when you want to start tuning.

 

I'm not sure what alll that stuff is like Wolf 3D, Megasquirt, and SDS.

 

They are the stand alone fuel management systems you were asking about if anyone has done.

 

Go to www.google.com and type in those things.

 

and dont' confuse the Wolf 3D ECU with the awesome game Wolfenstein 3D.

 

original wolfenstein is where its at!

 

That game was amazing... the first first-person shooter I ever played...


now its all about Unreal 3

 

hahaha

I play that on my calculator in AP stats! (well actually doom but same concept(point and shoot))

 

i got wolfensteing and Doom the original ones all at the same time when i was like in kindergarten or something lol. LOVE THEM!!!!!!

 

Punk azz kids.

 

I used MegaSquirt and don't regret it. It is not for the timid....But for the money I think, at least for me it has worked out very well. $400 and a a lot of hard work, but work it does...

 

The greatest advantage of a standalone is the elimination of the original efi wiring harness. The 25 year old wires and connectors desperately need replaced on these cars.
