Not yet. After fixing a fuel pressure issue, my wideband was also bad, so I am waiting on it to get here before I can try and start this thing.

I assume you removed the DIY Quadspark, when you went with '01 Maxima "smart" coils?

Looking to go COP on an S14 KA24DE as well.

I did remove the quadspark. I wired coils directly into the ms3x. I have the documentation downloaded if you are unable to find it online.

I finally got the thing to run but I am having issues setting up my injectors correctly as well as finding a very large vacuum leak. My throttle body shaft seals were bad so I fixed that. I need to do another smoke test.

I starts and idles at about 1500 rpm at 17+ AFR. Ive spent all of september and october trying to figure this out pretty much. The thing right now is that I am not entirely sure if I am reading the specs for my injectors correctly.

I am going to start a new thread to ask questions because I dont get emails from this one anymore.

Where did you get the 910cc injectors? Company/brand. Maybe we can help with your dead time and offset curve.

They are actually Siemens Deka IV 875CC injectors. This and other updated information is in a new thread I created because my issue is now different than what it was when I started this one.

Here is the link to it:

After going through the documentation, I now know more about the car. The owner was giving me wrong info on parts for some reason. I had to go through the receipts.
