Megasquirt?

[blackshine007]

^^Me and my buddy usually drive over to Alabama and let Kenny (linuxman on the brick board) tune it. That dude could damn near tune the volvo's in his sleep. And he's reasonable too.

^^^Whenever you want to come take a look at the car just shoot me a PM. Oh yeah, I do have an upgraded fuel pump and clutch as well as a AFPR. Dan thinks 280cc won't be enough so I'm looking into Nissan 370cc injectors right now.

[Siverprobegt]

I'm not saying I got ripped off or anything. My thing was I thought Dan could have found the firmware without the car being strapped down and I only being charged $90 an hour rather then the dyno charge. If Dan had to keep it strapped to find the firmware then thats my mistake and I apologize Dan. As for my coil, I really don't think thats it. I know a guy that has the exact same setup as me besides bigger injectors and he has no problem boosting to 10psi.

You need a upgraded ignition system too..Mazda stock ignition system,isn't strong at all,for boost.Trust me..

[meengreenPGT]

The ignition has been converted to a coil pack rather than the distributer models.

[blackshine007]

Did you ever get your injectors yet and did you ever talk to Mbolin5 about the bulk buy?

[meengreenPGT]

I talked to Mbolin5 but thats not for another couple of weeks. I have gotten some RB25det injectors but I still need the harnesses and the fuels rails to be bored, so I'm thinking of getting your millenia injectors for now and in the future just getting it retuned for the RB ones cause I need my car. I have your number so maybe we could meet sometime this weekend cause I'm in Peachtree city.

[blackshine007]

I got everything you might need. I have an extra set of kl injector rails as well. I even have a couple of KLDE intake manifolds as well. Just hit me up sometime.

I have a 96 ford probe turbo and I have megasquirt FMU and I was wondering where yall recommend to go to get it tunned? Thanks.

kl? How much boost are you running, guessing around 16-20psi?

[meengreenPGT]

Oh no, more like 8-10. My original injectors are shot so right now it's only at about 3-4 psi. Even if I could run that much boost my transmission wouldn't take that much abuse for more than a few days.

only 8-10? Those are ZE numbers... DE can handle much more. Go get a set of S injectors, or mod your fuel rail to accept the nissan projectors and give it more fuel! lol.



Transmission is no excuse, there are tons at PaP

[meengreenPGT]

I know it can but with this as my DD I don't want to push my luck anymore then I already am...lol

[kfzemx3]

lol right on, give it some time, you'll bump it up

[meengreenPGT]

Eventually I would like a tranny brace, newer stronger gears and an lsd. I think with all that I would be able to run around 12-15 psi. It's just the trannys on these cars can't take the abuse most cars can...Lame

[blackshine007]

It's not that the tranny can't take the power, it's when the bearings are getting weak they cause stress on the center gear, which is 3rd. The shaft is flexing up and down and that's what causes the gears to go bye bye. As far as the tranny cracking, that's caused by weak/ busted engine mounts and wheel hop. I'm on tranny #4 personally and I have another one waiting.

[meengreenPGT]

So you've changed your tranny 3 times already? I might have to take mine off, you think you could help me out? Thanks.

[superboost]

I can concur. Wheelhop and 5+k launches will kill those trannies. I've seen that damn mazda have at least 3 trannies swapped in and out.

[meengreenPGT]

I'll definitely be getting a tranny brace.
