It actually broke the pin off the turbo elbow lever, so I modified a IHI actuator and put it on since its pin was on the actuator rod. Quote Selected
The CP autox bird Reply #217 – May 07, 2011, 01:25:24 PM Great! How's it running now, then? Feeling like it should? Quote Selected
The CP autox bird Reply #218 – May 07, 2011, 05:27:44 PM well, its not running very good right now because I updated the firmware in the megasquirt so I could use tunerstudio and spent all afternoon trying to get it to run again. When I finally did get it running, then I couldnt retune it because I didnt have my registration info for tunerstudio for VELive. I will go back tonight to try driving it around to tune itself, IF it would quit raining. Slicks FTL in rain Quote Selected
The CP autox bird Reply #219 – May 15, 2011, 07:51:51 PM ok well the megasquirt has been fighting me since I updated that firmware, and finally messed around with the megasquirt enough times, I broke a pin off the processor:( After that happened I had enough and robbed the bamafuel(MS1) out of my red car, and got it running on that this week, but the timing wasnt holding. It would retard almost 40* on a free rev. This had me scratching my head all last week, and finally dad helped me figure it out. I had power on the start wire for the spout and couldnt figure out why. I knew I had put a diode on that wire. I hadn't thought about another wire backfeeding it. Turns out I had the coil hot wire coming off the same terminal on the starter solenoid(since power to the coil is lost when the key is turned to start). I ran that wire without even thinking about it messing with other stuff. 1 diode and it holds timing perfectly, but the ms1 won't control the timing at all. If I set the program to ford tfi ignition, it wont even run, so I have all the ignition options turned off and am currently running it at 25* locked timing. That must be working since I ran at an autox at toledo express airport and held FTD for 2 heats! This car is pretty well balanced, but my rear swaybar is too stiff because its lifting the inside rear. I only had a light mark where the front tire hit the fender so its setup relatively good already. I will probably weld extensions on the swaybar and figure out how to attatch it farther forward, or find a smaller bar. Quote Selected
The CP autox bird Reply #220 – May 16, 2011, 04:12:11 PM Should be easy to repair the pin on the MS2. I just finished putting my MS2 together and testing it. Might bug ya if I run into problems. Quote Selected
