Ok guys...give him a break

Hi guys! for those who don't know me, I'm an engineer that work full time in tuning since 2004. I've installed more than 40 megasquirt units in a lot of car such like Nissan, Mazda, Honda, Volks ect... and built much more. I got all tools to work with MS and I know my stuffs.

All I can tell you ...

the thing with MSD is that the coil is being charged with 480V amplifier module (msd6A). The more you raise in rpm, the more the box will drain amps wich goes into load on the alternator. You can buy a digital box over analog as it drain way less juice.

If you want more volts off a msd box, you ...

watch for your ground connections...

I've installed over 40 of those and everytime I had problem was ground relating... bad ground will occur reset that can damage the processor..

Yeah, most of the Ze comming out there got the knock sensor connector located on the right side on IM. You have to pass the wire to the left on IM to reach engine harness connector of mx3. On mx6/626, this connector is located just above the TB....that's why.

If it's too hard for you to route the ...

why do you need a new engine harness??

is you ECU's number is K853? I do have the pinout of this, but it's only on a sheet.

Let the connector like that and just pass new wires inside of ECU. You'll have an external connector for the MS and that's the cleanest job you can do. No extra wires in engine bay, just hack new signal through ...

The B6 is the same as KL, except the wiring's differrent. I suggeest you to let the stock ECU in, and just hack the signal you need.

Ok to run ITB, you'll need to run this alfa-n (tps based) instead of speed density (MAP sensor) cause ITS just don't create much vacuum, so you'll have big trouble ...

The k8 Tb will fit on the curved neck IM, as long as you keep the spacer. For the gasket issue, clean all surfaces and just use sealant. It'll not leak at all, whatever the shape of both Tb and IM surface.

Pm'ed!

Oh, and the temperature readout sucks. Don't look at it anymore.

First? what's engine you are running? 1.8 or 2.5 and what millage?<p>it may be a misfonction of the thermostat. It could be also, a damaged impaler's water pump.<p>Need more information of your setup

Lift the car 15" at least, drop the tansverse member, and keep the left engine mount only. This way, the tranny will be pointing down by right side and you'll pull it out easy without grinding the tranny's casing.<p>This is how I did and Mazda does....<p>Good luck

The thing that will determine wich VAF you need isn't the engine..<p>It's the ECU! if you plan to run a KL03 ECU then you need a KL02 VAF. If you're keeping the K8 ecu. You need the OEM VAF JE50. You know your engine will suck gas as a cow suck milk?? It will also have, when closed loop MAP, a ...
