99 ms3x drop in solution?
 
Is there a drop in pnp solution for 99? I see the ecu for $640 and MegaSquirt Wiring Harness for $78.

Or am i just dumb and it's really that easy as ting into the wiring under the dash that would be going to the stock ecu?

you can make it drop in

You want full stand alone with a pnp harness, wired for sequential fuel. It's not like that thing will come remotely close to posting OBDII readiness codes.

Does anyone care to share their MS3x MSQ for a 99? I'm trying to figure out how to set-up the crank trigger, cam sync, and sequential fuel.

That car is really going to rip now.

I'll be doing a group buy in a few days. I already have plenty of MS3 boards to go around.

I may get one if the price is right. You can throw ours in the same box.

Reverant 09-08-2011 04:59 PM

Looking at less than $600 if possible.

jeff_man 09-08-2011 05:21 PM

I guess my real question is what do i need and how hard will it be. If i can get everything i need for $600 then sold if i can get the cash in time.

  • You have a GM IAT
  • You have an LC-1
  • You have a MAP hose run
  • You have VICS wires laid
  • You need the assembled MS
  • You need a wiriing solution which I don't have the answer to (I vote for Boomslang pig-tail. If the guy who builds the computer wants to give me wiring directions, and he promises they will work, then I'll save you $80 and solder it into the harness and chop-off the factory connectors.

I bet you a case of Shiner that I'll have this car ready for the dyno in 30-minutes after we wire it in and get it started, and I'll only need 30-minutes on the dyno.

I do not recommend chopping off the factory connectors and wiring directly into the stock harness unless you are crazy. I have been down that road and it is not a fun solution unless you have a DD and are planning on stripping the rest of the harness.

You could always go with a DIYBOB to make the boom slang part.

jeff_man 09-08-2011 06:42 PM

I have a DD

shuiend 09-08-2011 07:28 PM

Have braineack make you a DIYBOB if the ones Reverent makes are not PNP.

Braineack 09-08-2011 07:44 PM

why would reverant make something not PNP?

Reverant 09-09-2011 01:44 AM

All of my ECUs are 100% PnP. I have never made a single one that wasn't.
