I have a FM log manifold that has been modified for 10mm studs and has Full Race brand 10mm studs I will let go for $300 plus actual shipping, if you want one. I made 289whp on it before going with a tubular manifold from Artech.

Don’t bash me on this if i’m wrong, but if i use a t25 with m10 studs won’t i need to drill out the holes the mount the turbo? I can’t modify the turbo i’m using since it’s a loaner

Yes, holes must be larger. Studs must be 10mm to last on the track, hence the change on mine.

Turbos can be easily had for under $200 that will fit it.

I advise you to reconsider your engine management plans.

Endure 364 days of suck for 1 day of convenience.

Instead of enduring 1 day of inconvenience for 364 days of awesome.


Solid plan.

The Doodoo Box? It's fine for low boost i guess. Kindof. Sortof.

I wouldn't stack an MSD BTM on top of it, the point of the Doodoo Box is that you don't need to do that anymore because only the best mid 90s entry level technology taking you away from FMU/BTM combos.

Ok I understand. Would A/C be possible to run on a MSPNP 2? That is one of the things i’m worried about since I seriously need that where I live

Air conditioning? of course. Really the only thing you need the ECU to do(if I'm not mistaken) is idle up with AC, which MS does.

Hmm okay, I suppose I'll scrap the ECU Band-Aid idea and do more research about MS

I've got the MS1 that also made 289whp if you want one of those. It's a little harder to tune for A/C fluctuations but I did it on my car just fine. My MS3 Basic isn't really that much better than where I was for idle quality because I did such a good job tuning dashpot settings and such. Stock weight flywheel would have been even easier but my lightweight one made A/C engagement tougher.

I've also got a spare AEM wideband.

I guess I have a lot of parts here I'm not using...

I'll try to get him set up properly. We'll break him in gently on the ways of Megasquirt and one day he'll graduate up to a MS3 Pro. Actual tuning is much more fun than running an MSD box and a RRFPR or a voodoo.
