Re: Relay boay harness... Is this right?

So if I got you right, I can just solder a wire from the relay board connector pin 19 to any of the unused pins on the MS connector that the instructions say can be used for additional ground wires?

Relay boay harness... Is this right?

Back in action after taking a few months off to gather engine parts disassemble, inspect, install new stuff, etc etc...

I made my MS to relay board harness this last weekend, and I'm hoping it's right... I followed the instructions on this page: http://www.bgsoflex.com/mspower/relay-cable.html ...

Re: MS II PCB 3.0 assembly progress, and questions.

OK, I finished the unit last night, plugged in the stim, and got it going on tuner studio... While the stim was lighting up flashing like I assumed it should, the lights on the front of the MS case were not. I soldered them in backwards. This morning, took them out, tested them to make sure they ...

MS II PCB 3.0 assembly progress, and questions.

Just FYI, my initial thread I plan to continue once I start the installation, is here: http://msefi.com/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=40540

Received my MS II pcb 3.0 kit today along with a bunch of other goodies from DIY, and jumped right in. So far I think I'm into this thing for about 6 hrs, I kinda lost ...

Re: MS on my 72 Chevelle SBC... A few questions?

Ok! Finally made the last "big order" for the MS stuff, sensors, wiring, fuel pump, and WB o2 sensor stuff today!

Only had one question at the moment. I bought the Innovate standalone gauge kit w/ LC1 & DB gauge ( http://www.DIYAutoTune.com/catalog/innovate-standalone-gauge-kit-lc1-red-db-gauge ...

Re: MS on my 72 Chevelle SBC... A few questions?

Ok, I think I will retain the relay board... Looking at wiring options now and mounting locations... I think I will mount the MS box itself under the dash on the drivers side, so I can easily access the DB-9 tuning port. I believe I will mount the relay board on the under the dash, on the passengers ...

Re: MegaMeet West Coast - Oct 29-30th 2011

Awww man, I wish I would have seen this earlier... I would love to be there for the info, check out some rides with MS, and pick some brains... Unfortunately I've already made reservations and bought tickets to Vegas on the 30th to go to the SEMA show.

Re: MS on my 72 Chevelle SBC... A few questions?

Well I got my assortment of soldering iron tips, went and bought some 60/40 rosin core solder, and the relay board kit showed up so here is my next attempt at soldering electrical... stuff. I think it turned out really good, better than the stim. The 60/40 solder was probably helped the most. Used ...

Re: Need help to get started

As far as wiring goes, you may want to think where you're going to mount the MS box itself, relay board, etc... The relay cable is only 4 ft long... (probably not long enough if you want to mount the MS box around the dash area, and the relay board in the engine compartment of the bug). Also, the MS ...

Re: MS on my 72 Chevelle SBC... A few questions?

I am using Qualitek RA300 Rosin Core .032" dia solder... Apparently it is lead free :-( I was under the impression that I just had to use a rosin core solder when soldering electronics, never read anything about specific lead contents. I can get 60/40 rosin core .032" at Radio shack. So I should ...

Re: MS on my 72 Chevelle SBC... A few questions?

OK, I received the MegaStim v2.21 kit shortly after ordering it, but no such luck on the soldering station showing up fast. It finally showed up today, so I started to assemble the MegaStim kit. The soldering station I'm using is a Weller WTPCT unit, with the TC201T pencil iron. I started using a 1 ...

Re: MS on my 72 Chevelle SBC... A few questions?

Ok, I'm gonna try it... I ordered a MegaSquirt Stimulator v2.2 - unassembled kit from you @ DIY AutoTune, ordered a soldering station, and some supplies... If I can't put the stimulator together myself, I have no business trying to assemble a MS box of any kind and I'll just have to order it ...

MS on my 72 Chevelle SBC... A few questions?

I was wanting to do a 5.3/6.0 swap complete with GM electronics, but my Dad convinced me that being times are hard, I should try to keep as much money as I can in the bank... I want the car to be streetable, yet still fast, and I want EFI for better mpg... I've been collecting mics parts and pieces ...
