Re: Can anyone familiar with KA24E and MS3/MS3x look this ov

Interesting! that R13 connection to R45 does in fact provide a 5v 4.7k pull up resistor for the VR input. Looks like you're all set on tach input jumpers and pull up resistors. Very elegant solution actually. http://www.msextra.com/doc/pdf/html/MS3XV30_Hardware-1.4.pdf/MS3XV30_Hardware-1.4-190.html ...

Re: Can anyone familiar with KA24E and MS3/MS3x look this ov

So that jumper wire on the ms3x card is not what I was thinking it was (not for your cam input). Which number pin is that connected to on your ms3x connector - 30 or 27? Good news is that the ms3x card has a built in jumper for cam input, described on this page of the manual: http://www.msextra.com/...

Re: Can anyone familiar with KA24E and MS3/MS3x look this ov

There looks to be a jumper wire (with resistor covered in hear shrink) on the ms3x card... What are those connections? If it's the cam input pin then you may already have a pull up for your can signal

That is a great deal! Yes, if you take hi res pictures of both sides of the ms3 withoit the covers on, we should see what's going on. For the relay, try not to think of it as providing "power"; what the relay is doing is providing a connection to whatever is on the other side of the switch...

Just saw your post in between mine. In that case, please take some pictures of your mainboard and see if there are any jumper wires leading anywhere... maybe we can see if the miata guys need the same pull ups.

I appreciate the detailed response. I only did multiple wires to the 47 and 30 circuits because Matt from DIYAutoTune said Nissan had multiple inputs like that possibly for redundancy in case something went wrong with one of the wires, so at least there is some fault tolerance I guess? In fact, pro...

Re: Wes' S14 "Leigh"

You should be able to start with the DIYAutoTune basemap scaled for your injectors via reqfuel. Your biggest problem is likely to be mismatched timing. I wouldn't worry too much about it until timing matches. You can rough it in with plugs out (allows cranking speed to be faster) AND ALL FUEL SHUT O...

I occasionally got kick back on stock stock disk, but I blame that on a small battery and slow crank.
Just try to get a timing light on it as quick as you can to see where you're lining up
I ran a full two years I believe on the stock disk

Are you using the stock coil with power transistor? If so, ignore the high current drivers - those are only used for dumb coils (controlling 2 wire coils with the ground switched side directly or coils that don't have built in high power transistors/ignitors, or dumb coils that are using high power ...

If you had the flywheel bolted on and accessible, you can chain the flywheel (using a pressure plate bolt) to the block. That's how I've always attached the flywheel bolts anyways, and they are bolted with similar torque

Meant to respond but never got there. I would feel comfortable using the ka24de map as a safe start.
