I'd go with air to air on that setup. Lighter, simpler, and it's not like a 240SX has the sorts of airflow issues or oddball packaging that would make a FMIC difficult to install.

We're running one on an MR2, where an air to air isn't all that practical. Compared to a FMIC, it tends to heat soak a bit - though it's better than sticking an air to air cooler in the engine compartment on a mid engined car. For a drag car, this isn't so much of a liability, and you can add an ice...

There's probably a local machine shop that could make a billet dip stick handle on a lathe if you gave them a decent drawing to work from.

If you're using an AEM EMS, I'd skip the Z32 MAF, or any other sort of MAF. The AEM can use a MAP sensor instead.

That doesn't surprise me; SX Performance says their pumps aren't compatible with low sulfur diesel fuel.

While that should be OK on gasoline, E85 needs more fuel volume. We sell pumps from SX Performance with protective anodized coatings to avoid any corrosion from ethanol (or even methanol) if you'd be interested in a pump designed specifically for this. What boost pressure will you be running? With f...

ABS needs VLSD to calculate diffrences in rotation via sensor(s) that IS the reason ABS s14's have VLSD. if it was "locked" there would be nothing to calculate and nissan wasted millions of dollars throwing in a vlsd with out needing one. im asuming abs/vlsd is standard on j30's You can u...

Okay so I've been looking at supercharging my car for awhile now and i can't seem to find any reason not to build it using a Centrifugal Superchager if I were to only be running 8 to 10 psi. I'm looking for it to be a sleeper so that the local law enforcement doesent hassel me and for a supprised f...

4-6 ohms when full, 80-84 ohms empty, and 30-35 with the tank half full.

Big injectors can clog too. Last time I bought a set of 440 cc Supra injectors used, I had them cleaned and flow tested before installing them. Turns out one had been completely plugged shut.

We have a Spec Stage 3 on the shop Miata. It doesn't slip even with two and a half times the stock power output. On the down side, it isn't the most streetable clutch, especially before you break it in. And it wears out a bit quickly - though chances are it would last longer with our combination of ...

AEM UEGO wideband. i dont think it could be the wideband, because its brand new, something to do with fuel management. Just wanted to check. One thing about AEMs is that 10.0 is the lowest they'll read, from what I've heard, so you may have actually leaned it out from the 8's to the 11's. A backfir...

Obviously I'm not an unbiased source. But I have an LC-1 with a DB digital gauge in my daily driver and it works great. It's set up about the way you describe with an extra bung welded into the end of the header.

We're just off the intersection of Buford Highway and McGinnis Ferry Rd. Click here for the map, and feel free to stop by during normal business hours.

I'll have to check out the 240Atlanta site.

What kind of wideband is it?

Ok, looks like on a '91 it gets an RPM signal from the ECU, but no other signals. I haven't tested this but it's likely a tach driver output signal from the Megasquirt would suffice for this.

Just wanted to let you know that DIYAutoTune.com is now selling fuel pumps, adjustable fuel pressure regulators, and racing fuel filters. . We've chosen to carry two different brands of pumps. They're both external mount designs intended to feed very high powered engines. Walbro is pretty well known...

I don't believe the Super HICAS talks to the engine control system at all. Let me know what year yours is and I will look up the wiring diagrams to confirm this.

what should I go with for hot and cold side for a T3/T4 turbo. Also does anyone know anything about a 79 mustang turbo from a 2.3, would it be efficient enough to make at least 300whp with the parts listed. I'd use one for a 200 hp buildup, especially at that price. For 300 hp? Well, you did say yo...

I've driven a C4 Corvette in the snow before - on bald tires. A little bit nerve wracking, but hardly my scariest driving experience. I've got a Honda as my everyday beater and it can hold its own on an autocross course. It's a bit more forgiving of boneheaded moves in a race than the C4 Corvette, m...

And email us if you want one with specific mods on it like the one in the 240SX article. We're going to be having ones with all the hardware setup needed to run a 240SX up on the website soon, but until I get those up we can set up special order Megasquirts via email. They use a MAP sensor for fuel ...

MAP sensors give a 0 to 5 volt signal like a MAF, so if Calum or Nistune can allow enough rescaling of the tables, such a thing might work. But that's a big if; I'd wait to see if any of the Nissan ECU guys have any experience with such a thing. Often drastic rewrites of a stock ECU's rules are not ...

Could you elaborate on your reasons for wanting to keep the stock ECU? Is it because of cost, or for some other reason?

We build standalone ECUs that work on 240SXs and use a MAP sensor as standard equipment. They are a bit more work to set up than an ECU hack, but also allow for more flexibility. We have an article on how to set up our system on a 240SX here: http://www.diyautotune.com/tech_articles/how_to_megasquir...

yeah i am only using the wire for the ingition, (90* slit) i did not tap or intercept the one for injectors (1* slit) The distinction isn't quite that clean cut. It appears the ECU uses both of them for cylinder identification, working together, as well as for a general timing signal that controls ...

Mechanical engineer checking in. Although my career path hasn't quite been traditional mechanical engineering; after I got out of college I took a job with an industrial laser company doing work that was more industrial engineering, and now I'm doing about as much work with electronics as machinery.

I am engine savy, but when it comes to modern technology and controlling EFI systems with timing, I'm kinda behind. Worked mostly with carbed engines. aka, dinosaurs. always willing to learn, and I have more tools than most shops :twisted: On a turbo car, tuning with a laptop can be a a bit easier ...

Summit Racing is the first place that comes to mind if you don't have a local speed shop that keeps these in stock. Come to think of it, your local chain auto parts store could probably special order one as well.

you need the ecu pin? Because the trigger pin on the ms is pin 36 iirc. connect that directly to the -ve lead on the ignition coil. the pin that the -ve end of the coil goes to on the ecu.. i forget. check the fsm. btw i know of nobody (including myself) who has made the stock coil work with ms. go...

Well, there's going to be a lot of Megasquirters there, a lot of talk about how to set up and tune your car, etc. You'll be bound to get a few pointers at the very least.
