I don't require props. I'm just a technical advisor. And a n00b.

Will there be an option to use a DOHC turbo mani? I'd prefer to build a Stratus 2.4 to get the extra torque...

what do you guys plan on doing now that rs isn't selling preassembled ms units anymore

They aren't the only place to get a megasquirt...

Finished up the boost piping. Couldn't get any good shots of it all at night in the garage, though. The camera guy was trying to get all artsy on us, lol. I'm still waiting to see the cool graphics for the air intake pipe.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 9:53 am

i sent an email to erick. but one of my room mates is moving out next weekend so me and the other room mate gotta soak up the extra $$ so i can't do this at this exact moment

i

want

this

so

bad

i would sell my girlfriend for it.

hell she costs more than this would anyways.

and i would get more out of this kit anyways... oooooooooooh gigity!

also i see that the throttle body is mounted sideways? does the way that it sits matter?

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 1:48 pm

lol... so i cheated and looked at more pics. sorry. i just can't wait. i wish i could find another room mate quicker

he's now constantly watching this thread!!!

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Sat Apr 19, 2008 2:08 pm

hahaha... I was busy working on something and some dude with a camera came up and started taking pictures.

Not at all. He's got an aftermarket throttle body on there, and it fits best like that, so we put it in the same orientation.

hey, yeah... what's up with that?

ThrIsNoSpork · Post by **ThrIsNoSpork** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 2:19 am

ah just curious

i am definately watching this thread closely... hehe

Thats how I had to put it on before, because of the vacuum line that goes into it. They just put it on how I had it.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Sun Apr 20, 2008 10:44 am

oh, yeah i had a problem with my vac. line as well. i wish they would have designed it to have the line on the other side

I can't believe you got that intercooler to fit. Is that the MPx one? I'm thinking about using the one from them on mine, but I'm concerned because it says UP TO 550 HP.

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 1:26 pm

No, it's not MPx. I think Len found it from a distributor in California. Len's awesome at finding neat parts.

ThrIsNoSpork · Post by **ThrIsNoSpork** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 1:30 pm

any progress updates?

ThrIsNoSpork · Post by **ThrIsNoSpork** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 3:36 pm

yet another question... since this is being installed on a mag motor are us little guys still gonna get maps for tuning? Not that its too much of a big deal but im not too savvy with MS yet...

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 5:04 pm

It will be close anyway, but we'll recommend fine tuning once the car is running anyway. People live at different elevations and different temperatures, and there's always room for improvement.

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Fri Apr 25, 2008 8:27 pm

i asked a similar question on AIM... "autotune FTW" is pretty much the answer i got. i think that's the way i should have took it at least

. and i'll be closer to the mag map... wait, no i'll have my mag head back, but bigger cam and fully built motor

Hudson_Neon · Post by **Hudson_Neon** » Sun May 04, 2008 6:53 pm

anything new?

esteinmaier · Post by **esteinmaier** » Tue May 06, 2008 6:20 pm

Here's the setup to switch back and forth from stock ECU control to MS control. The connector itself may change, but the design will remain the same for the final shipped kits.

MS is basically wired, oil system is done, downpipe is fitted and is being welded tonight. There's a possibility we'll be able to start it tonight, although it may be tomorrow by the time we can. That's if everything goes well though.

sweeeeeeet keep us posted.
