SO FAR THIS IS THE CHEAPEST SITE I HAVE FOUND FOR MEGASQUIRT.. YOU'LL NEED THE SYSTEM, THE WIRING HARNESS AND THE GM TEMP GAUGE WITH PIGTAIL.

THE GRAND TOTAL BEFORE SHIPPING AND TAXES IS $358.00 NOT TO BAD.

OH AND YOU'LL NEED TO GET SOME 2 1/2 PVC PIPING TO RUN FROM THE T/B to the air filter (*where the afm sits)

 

Dang stupid caps... when i get mine i'll do a write up and pics about the install so I can have a sticky.

 

Please. we need on Badly on M$

 

it eliminates the AFM i know that much. but do you need a MAS or MAF in place of it?

 

nope just a piece of pvc to replace the empty spot where the afm goes

 

doh forgot to add the linky

 

and yet you still didnt add it

 

yeah its at my work computer i'll add it tomarrow

 

Yes, you do still need a load sensor, but I believe it's set up to use a MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor. It can be attached to any vac port on the intake.

 

yeah i'll aks my friend about his setup.

 

MAPs are great. You can stick your K&N filter right on the turbo itself. good times

 

ooo... say any one here ever do an install ment?

 

I would strongly suggest going through WWW.DIYautotune.com There customer sevice was awesome and so are there prices. I think you might be missing a few things. I strongly suggest getting a stimulator, trust me its a big help.

Do you plan on running fuel and ignition control or just fuel?

Your sig says your car is a 79' so I am not sure how your going to trigger MSnS?

For the IAT(intake air temp) sensor you are going to want to put it on your intake manifold and close to the Throttle Body. And your also going to need the TPS off either a 300zx or 240sx, unless you already have a 240sx TB?

 

I have megasquirt on my car but have yet to get it running(not due to MS) I have been waiting for my intake manifold to get back from being machined and then I will finally be able to get it running if weather permits

 

hmmm... you should do a write up on the install.. everything it somew with everything you need to get adn how to install... pics maybe? that would be awsome cuase i eentually want to go standalone myself.

 

diy is a great place but i found another one that sells the exact same thing for less.

 

$280 FOR THIS SETUP

$330 FOR THE SAME ONE FROM HERE

PLUS ADD IN THE $60 WIRING HARNESS AND THE OTHER PARTS YOU MAY NEED.

 

This guy installed MS on his 280zxt ( http://www.cardomain.com/ride/665387/6 )



He hasn't been around in a while, but I talked w/ him quite a bit about MegaSquirt. Said he loved it. Looks like he's from "Wheaton, Illinois." Snow... is that near you?

 

yes it is.... about 20 minutes away... ive had to go to court there a few times. lol

 

This is what my purchase order is going to consist of...

 

that price is a kick in the nuts....

 

that is a real good price but your still missing one sensor. And the install article on DIY and on HybridZ are wicked good. Thats all your really need.

 

the hybridz article is very good, i will also do the setup. one q tho, i got a 79 with msd on it already, would i then need the spark part? or can i just control fuel. ive been reading like crazy lately, but just cant quite grasp it. i even got a lappy for free for keeping in the car for tuning

 

Shady,
If you just wanted to run fuel control that would make things a lot easier. Honestly I dont know what you would use to control spark seeing as you have a 79'? I would ask around on HybridZ if you did want to go that way. A lot of people only run fuel control at first anyways.

 

The One At Protocar.net Has The Option Of Just Fuel And No Spark. You Can Prob Get That Anywhere Though. Its Just A Firmware Upgrade.
