how is my build looking?

I am learning alot about Fuel injection with megasquirt, and so far, here is a great clip I shot today how its running. some hesitation when its still cold, maybe needs more fuel enrichment, this video, its fully warmed up. let me know what you think, any tips or suggestions are welcome

Re: how is my build looking?

I had run the $59 code before I went MS, MS just has a more user friendly interface, datalogging and replay options. and because my really big injectors I now have good control over cranking pulsewidth and warmup enrich. oh and wideband was a biggy, especially with the auto-tune functions

My trans is slipping into second gear from about 6k on.. gotta figure that out first.

I also need to pickup a new pulley, I'm only producing 7psi max currently and I need my 13-15psi I built the engine for.

Re: how is my build looking?

Unless you've beefed up your tranny, it's going to slip, smoke and do all kinds of weird things with the additional power you now have.

Also, I would take "baby steps" and get the car running good at 7 PSI, then get your smaller pulley (more boost) and retune.

Remember, in boosted applications, your margin for error is much smaller than in a N/A engine.

Re: how is my build looking?

$59 has wb. ill prob. give it a try until ms has the adapter made for plug n play of the 7730 harness.

I just redid my complete harness and don't feel like redoing it except for the repinning for $59.

what version of ms are you using?
I have tuner pro rt and an autoprom for tuning now. so you think ms is easier.

your car sounds sweet btw. how about some more stats? cam, etc..

Love the whistle at idle, it's probably what I'll miss the most. That badboy sounds killer!
