all you need is the light...something like this: http://www.raptorperformance.com/Ord...der%20Form.htm or this http://www.jegs.com/p/Auto-Meter/Aut...45851/10002/-1

I bought the brightest LEDs I could source on digikey in the 30 seconds i spent looking. but they seemed to light up bright enough to notice.

So if I'm reading this right, in order to hook up an LED as a single stage shift light on a MSPNP, I need to solder a jumper from U1 pin 10 (JS7/Spark F), to one of the 8 unused header pads? I assume I'd also need the driver transistor and resistor as shown in the Shift Light section of the MS Extra Hardware Manual. Are there spares, or a proto area on the MSPNP?

Thanks,
C

FYI, my car wouldn't start with that wire connected. I never did any form of troubleshooting, just clipped the wire and ran it without a tach for 6 months. Didn't really miss it - one less gauge to watch. I had a 7400rpm rev limiter and I used it.

I modded mine to an alligator clip.... then clipped it to my wang.... it sends a nice little charge through... I NEVER miss a shift now.

With MSPNP I just hooked it up to the same output as boost control is, and then disable boost control, enable the output function and set it to 69 on RPMx100 or something.

Im gonna get Jeff to do this for me

I like it! And I just installed a Profec, so I don't need the MS EBC. I hate to ask for step by step directions, I really do, but looking at Megatune, I can't figure it out. Any more detail would be greatly appreciated.

MSPNP Output 1 as boost control
  1. Basic settings > Codebase and output function > X4 (JS2) -> Output 1 (not Boost Control)
  2. More settings > Outputs > OUTPUT 1 (X4/JS2) source -> RPM
  3. More settings > Outputs > OUTPUT 1 (X4/JS2) on/off limit -> 69
  4. Hook up 12V LED (low current!!) shift light
  5. Profit

Something like that, I dont have my current MSQ here.

Thanks man! I had steps 1 & 2 figured out, but the trigger value was unclear.

do you use the JS7 pin and out via the EBC (which is pin 9 on the harness)?

thanks
