Great work. VE Analyze is awesome. Just do a 1:1 reduction on timing from 26* to get a good base for the boost region. So 1 psi of boost should be 25*, 2 psi 24*, etc? I forget where the stock timing map ends but that's basically what I planned on doing, subtract 1* for every ~7kpa. What about fuel...

Still need to put together a basemap for boost. Once I get something I fell comfortable driving around the block with I'll star...

Small update, things will probably pick up here pretty soon. I pulled the engine a couple weeks ago to fix my leaky front covers, replace the leaking rear main seal, and replace the clutch. Clutch started slipping at my last drift event, it would hold power in a straight line but downshifting 4th to...

Check your eprom chip if you're running a rom tune. Mine got loose once and the fuel pump wouldn't prime.

Checking your harness is also a good idea too.

Whenever I've had an issue with smoke it's been the turbo. Intake and hot side charge piping were always clear, but exhaust seals were bad allowing oil to get burned up. It was never a lot of smoke, but noticeable on decel and at idle. Maybe it's a combination that is causing your issues. It's a lot...

Installed it on my phone yesterday, MS is still sitting in a box in my room though haha.

I like how it uses the phone's accelerometer data so you have gps speed. It's also fun to shake around and see how many g's I can pull while sitting on the couch

Any chance you could send me a copy of that tune as well? I've been looking at a few maps to get an idea of what timing to run in boost, but I haven't found a KA specific map yet. My email is chcotrup@ncsu.edu Here's an ignition map my roommate used on his Miata, he can't remember if this was the ac...

My horrible luck continues. Unknown to me, the NPT to AN fitting I was using for my turbo feed had a little mesh screen in it to act as a filter. At some point, probably when I blew the ringlands, that mesh screen stopped a bunch of metal shavings from going into my turbo. It also has prevented oil ...

Great read! Car looks good on track, from the first few pages I know exactly how it is having to miss track days due to motor issues. Seems like you've got everything sorted out nicely though, I can't imagine how hard it must pull!

Sorry, yes, that's a typo. Some cars were set to 15 degrees and some to 10, and we accidentally mixed the directions. Get this one idling at 15 degrees. Alright, 15 it is! Next question: Supakat's diy trigger wheel install thread says to use low/normal when using stock ignition coil, however in bee...

Haha thanks guys. It's the OEM color combo, it looks really good on coupes so I figured I'd try it out on a hatch. https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/430079_10151238820609935_1832802764_n.jpg Got some goodies in the mail today, the PNP kit, the IAT sensor kit, and the replacement trigger wh...

Garret is supposedly releasing a gtx3067 pretty soon. The smaller exhaust housing will allow for a quicker spool time, and since it's a gtx series it will still make great power. It might also be more than your entire budget haha, the gtx turbos are expensive.

Ah ok, that kind of makes sense. I still have a lot of learning to do with Tunerstudio, but your tune is a good way to get to know my way around the program. Let us know when you get your most recent tune uploaded, I'd like to compare it to what I come up with once start messing with mine. Thanks! E...

Thanks everyone! It's been painted for around 6 months now, that picture is fairly recent but I think there are a few on Flickr.

I'm really looking forward to all the features MS has to offer. Reliability is my main focus, so I'll definitely be taking full advantage of overboost protection!

Hey everyone, long time lurker but rare poster. I've been KA-T for a few years now, I've never really had a build thread though. I've considered my car "done" for a while and didn't want to post a finished build all in one post, but I just ordered Megasquirt for it so I figured this was a ...

Just read your thread, especially the MS parts haha. I just ordered the KA PNP myself, I've downloaded your tune and have been checking it out in Tunerstudio, I have a few questions. First of all, how come your fuel VE table never goes above 100%? How are you tuning above 100 kPa? Also your cold sta...

Should have ch-ch-ch-checked the mu-mu-mu maf!

Sorry, had to! Glad you figured it out!

Bumping this thread. The cam timing is fixed, runs a hell of a lot better now, still idles rich though. Kept idling at 10.0, checked o2 sensor voltage and the wire was shorting out so it was reading 0 volts. Ran a new wire with a new sensor, getting .32 volts now but the ecu's switchover point is .4...

It might be a little late to go back to "stock" management, but from my experience it's always easiest to start with something that's guaranteed to work, then start adding/changing things. Is there any way you can find a comparable tune for your setup and at least use those fuel and igniti...

I guess that picture isn't a good one haha. The yellow link for the idler sprocket is exactly 2 teeth away from lining up, but the cams are 1.5 links from lining up. I know they don't line up every time, but they should all at least be on the "front" links rather than 2 "in between&qu...

Not sure how I missed it the first time. Both cams are off a tooth.

I happened to be pulling cylinder 2, but it turns out I can pull any combination of 2 cylinders and it keeps running the exact same. New harness is in, no change in how it runs. I'm going to get the new distributor and coil in a few, but chances are it's not going to do anything. It's looking more a...

knock sensor wire broke had to hard wire it, and got a new tune = problem fixed for me. Cheerio Good to hear! I got so good at fixing the engine in my S14 that I could do the lower cover in the car in 4 hours with handtools only from teardown to startup . I got way too much practice LOL. I once put...

Yeah, it's a pain but it's next on the list to check. I double checked it when assembling everything, but it's the only thing that I messed with so maybe I'm blind and put it together a tooth off.

I'm not actually on 240sxone, I was just searching and saw your post haha.

Yeah, I saw your post on 240sxone about that, but like you said not sure how it ran before. I'll get the new harness this afternoon and make sure the maf is wire in correctly, then go from there. If the new harness/distributor/coil don't work I guess I'll take the front covers off and triple check m...

Getting another harness today to try, I'm also going to swing by the junkyard and grab a distributor and ignition coil. kinda have the same issue here but mine dosnt stall out because i re adjusted the throttle to idle a bit higher. just the idle at around 10 still worries me.. I have the same knock...

Worked on it a bunch this afternoon, didn't really get anywhere. I pulled the fuel rail and primed the system, no leaks there. Double checked timing, still right at 20*. Swapped mafs for a known working one, no change. Swapped plug wires as well as injectors, no change. I can pull any combination of...

Redline MT-90.

Have you checked your timing? Leaking injectors? ECU throwing any codes?
