This weekend I plan to finally and correctly install the MS. I have never set timing in a car before and if you’ll like to share some tips I’ll be glad to hear them. Actually any type of advise will be very welcomed.

I’ll try to install the turbo next weekend. However that depends on the amount of school work I get during the week. I plan to use the Begi tutorial/manual and guide. Like I said before any recommendations are welcomed.

Cant afford it :hahano:

If you can't afford water/meth injection (understandable) then I'd suggest you keep a fairly low psi/hp tune, and go easy on the car. You'll break your rear end in no time. I purchased a 1.8 open diff, axles, and driveshaft for $160 total, which is a pretty good deal. Also, seach around here about that F1 clutch. It'll hold the power, but the bearings are considered junk, replace asap with oem units (pilot and throwout[release]).

$160 for a differential swap O_O damn that is a good fucking deal!! I've heard about the bearing being shit so I'll get oem ones once the clutch goes in.

Psi/tune, I hope to be able to safely get 200whp till I can get my hands on water/meth inj.

Nice is that a universal bend for the coolant inlet?? where did you get it??


On other issues I got the MS in the car I plugged everything where is supposed to go, jumped the FP. I connected my laptop to it and I dont any signal. The MS' middle light blinked the first time but not I get no response when I turn it on. Please help

tyson87 10-24-2009 04:46 PM

that is a universal coolant straight/bendable hose connected to a 1.8 housing that replaced the mixing manifold.

everything is hooked up/plugged in?
no connections are broken on the harness?

do u have all the drivers installed for the cable/adapter if ur using one.

Yeah everything is fine I opened megatune and activated the Hr10 then it recognized the MS but said the expected files didnt match the received ones

tyson87 10-24-2009 05:01 PM

ok then flash it the DOS/CMD way

I shook the fucking thing and now it reads it. But I try to turn it on and it just blacks out wtf!!!!

tyson87 10-24-2009 05:18 PM

i called u from that 561 - 333 number.

Braineack 10-24-2009 05:53 PM

stop reflashing that MS....didnt i tell you not to? you simply needed to activate hr_10g locally. sounds like you didnt do it correctly, do you have a vista machine?

tyson87 10-24-2009 05:57 PM

scott, he flooded his engine like i did mine. i think u should advise that we disconnect our tps

Hmm I didnt. My laptop read the MS after a few tries.

Yeah getting the fuel out is a bitch. I got most of it, I think. However my case is not even close to yours.

So what now?? I pulled the spark plugs and got most of the fuel out. I currently all the cavities where the spark plugs go open as well as intake inlet and the IAC.
