Right no jumper so wtf is this jumper. I don't think i can run dos on XP can I?

Braineack 10-15-2007 03:40 PM

see on the board where it say BOOT. put a jumper there (any wire in both spots)

then try to upload your X_mod.s19 file that easy therm made with the downloader. make sure the ports are correct.

magnamx-5 10-15-2007 03:44 PM

Do i have to solder the wire in? or can i lay it there or is that just plain silly?

cjernigan 10-15-2007 03:51 PM

stick each end of the wire in the holes
use a paperclip if you have to

It worked an i just tryed to reflasht the easytherm agian this is what i got+ another non com situation on my Megatune. So it was the Downlaoder corrupting the file for sure. I relaoded my last MSQ and she started right up. I still don't know shit about what to move where but i am glad my shit is running agian anyway. Thanks guys and Scot or Chad lemme know if you are interested in modding my MS.

Braineack 10-15-2007 04:18 PM

no.

let me send you the file to flash. that file is messed up that you are uploaded. should be 1700 records.

pm me your email.

Hmm well i don't trust myself to remove the resistor. but thanks for the files i will ask Nick if he can do it.

Braineack 10-15-2007 05:45 PM

it's two snips with a cutting tool of some sorts. otherwise the temps will be about 20* low.

cjernigan 10-15-2007 05:46 PM

Werd. Use a good sharp pair of dikes and cut each lead carefully. Easy stuff Rich.

magnamx-5 10-15-2007 06:00 PM

oh so i dont need to suck up solder etc hmm i think i will do this after work. So by doing this i will no longer need to reflash easytherm, or i will need to do both. I am just making sure here. I modded the codebased outputs as well. Wow this is gonna be cool if it works. Did I mention you guys are the best :D

cjernigan 10-15-2007 06:15 PM

Removing the resistor makes it so MS can read the sensor correctly, otherwise it will read 20* lower than it should. You will still need to reflash the MS with the .s19 file scott sent you and then put the 3 .ini files into Program Files->Megatune->mtCFG.
You have to do all of those steps to get it to work and read correctly in megatune.

Braineack 10-15-2007 06:34 PM

then all you gotta do is move the resistor and wire on the back adn you can run spark.

sorry old ass camera trying to make the best of my lighting and show as much detail as possible. seriusly the camera is from like 1999. Good ole fuji the only one that hasn't craped out on me yet.

magnamx-5 10-16-2007 08:38 AM

Ok so to recapp. I move my IGN wire to the outside resistor, and then I cut a resistor. And this will make my easytherm and, spark work?

Braineack 10-16-2007 08:38 AM

did you move the resistor as well like the above diagram?


that and your codebase changes should get spark to work.

magnamx-5 10-16-2007 08:53 AM

No i have moved nothing yet. This is the guy who does not own a soldering iron remember, i have a propane torch i use on plumbing but i doubt that will do well on the MS baord. :eek: I see what you mean for the spark mod but I can seem to find the resistor i am suposed to eliminate for the temp mod. I just tryed to call 2 scoops of hoah he has more mad skilz in this area than i do but i got no response.

Braineack 10-16-2007 09:03 AM

look at the front of your board.


there is a row of resistors. just above & of "Bowling & Grippo"

count up 5. there's a blue one. R7. rip it out.
