How looks you MS with the inverted settings and the MS-2 modification?

If you mean Joe's improved ignition out it's fine.

I'd reccomend MSII over MS1 from now on. With sequential it's even better.

a mean, a picture please. I have the ecu And I plan to do both modifications. (MS1 to MS2 and "no more pops mod!")

Tanx.!

did you look on the first page? I posted the required mods. I had to swap spark A and Spark B however (Not shown in my writeup or pictures below).


here's mine:

I've only just got my MS-1 running well enough to the standard where Im now re-enjoying the car and daily driving it again! :doh:

tanks scott. !

(but I have shop againt the cap. I buy a 1 uF instead 0.1 uF). :S

FWIW my car required the cap on a MS1 setup but on MS2 wouldn't rev past 3.5k removal of the cap solved the revving problem

In short try without first :)

My issue right now it my battery in my laptop sucks, so I need a power inverter to actually go out and fool around with my MSII unit.

But so far it's driving and idling very smooth. this new VE Live feature in TS doesn't hurt either.

what firmware do you recomend?

im running 2.1.1b but 3.0.x is out now so I dont see any reason not to go with the newest unless there are known bugs.

Unless you're running sequential injection I'd stick with the 2xxx series until 3xxxx comes out of Beta IMO.

2xxxx and 3xxxx are identical the difference is which will run sequential injection/ignition.

3.0.3q is rock solid for me. I use it on my daily driver with absolutely no problems.

Thread jack.

I notice you built the actual circuit for launch control. From what i've read isn't that unnecessary? Cant you just run a straight wire from JS11?

Also, mind splainin the dual map sensor?

launch is on JS7...you fail!


FFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU

Ah, well that explains it then.

Still wondering about that second map sensor...

it's for constant barometric correction, it's in the manual ;)

but it doesn't work properly, so ignore the 2nd sensor

yeah I have the corrections completely zeroed out right now anyways.

ok I did the sprark inverted mos and the car runs fine (no pop at least.!!!)

I used the megastim to change to spark inverted, the car start and everything runs fine.

Then I modify the board to install MS-2 but now i can't connect the MS to the computer to install the firmware.

What I'm doing wrong?

(by the way, I remove the "floating" resistance after the photo)

Please help!

I check scott's board and ad a wire between IAC1A and JS7. but noting happend. no ligths in mega stim or MS and no comunication to the laptop.
