Ah-ha, just a couple of decimal places. . . .

Thanks Matt,

Matt,

It seems as though you are implying that the MS2 will be able to produce a better idle. If yes, why?

Instead of a 'choke' cable acting on the throttle, it might be easier to run a vacuum hose to a valve near the driver - so you can operate it manually. After all, the IAC valve itself is just a controlled vacuum leak, and MegaSquirt is only concern about the MAP, not how it gets into the manifold ...

EDIT Just notice you are squirting BMW. I went to a auto part supplier and just cruised the books for a while and found the right thread/sensor combo. I don't recall what the ...

Abacus is highly recommeded by my Triumph vintage racing friends as a excellent engine building shop. I have no personal experience with them, but I live in WA, not VA

Another advantage of a temperture controllled station is that I use it, with a different tip, for melting P-tex when I repair ski bottoms.

Thanks for setting the meet up. It was great to meet everyone and learn a bit more about where MS is going.
Jack – David and I must have just missed you.
David - thank you for helping me get around and the great introduction to track operations. My hearing is starting to come back…

Great event! Thank you Bruce, Al and Lance. I’m amazed, not only about the capabilities of MS3, but how fast it is coming down the pike.

Lance, I hung out at Pacific Raceways in the paddock area until 9:15 Sunday morning with the TR8, but couldn’t find the group and finally took off. Sorry I ...

It's a piece of chain link fence post <Blush>, with three pipe nipples welded to the side of the top and one to the side near the bottom.

Top nipples

- Out to fuel tank

Bottom
- Out to the inlet of the high pressure fuel pump.

Mine is about a 1/2 liter. It's a 1-5/8 dia tube about 9 inches tall.

As stated above 2 or 3, but 3 is best, as it is the least likely to be affected by changes in throttle, etc. and best reflects what the runners will see. You can tee off the OEM tap, if it comes off with a hose.

The MS is relatively insensitive to hose length (volume). I used a plenum tap for my MS ...

For the fast idle stepper/ solenoid should I weld in air fittings between the ITB and the head and attach the stepper/ soleniod to these fittings by a T?

Thanks again for all your help. I so badley want to get this car out of the garage to see the light of day once again.

Connectors can be had at a junk yard.

I have made wire grommets out of RTV. Just very lightly coat the sides of the "mold" you need to remove with grease; kind of a wipe on, then wipe off with your finger tip. The RTV won't stick to a greasy surface and the "grommet" will be removable.

I never understood that logic either... I must be wrong, but I would think that by the time the coolant is warm enough to warm the incoming air, the engine is warm enough to not require warmed incoming air!

I had the same issues. it's seems impossible, until you get it working. <Grin>

Nanaimo. . . . . . Hmmm, that's only about 5 hours drive from here. I could have the TR8 tuned and ready within a few weeks.

Keep us informed.

I'm wondering what people do exactly to make the connection to the DB37 reliable.

Check out item #2 in the link below. It's simple and straightforward to solder up these connectors. It just takes some patience. It's not quite as easy as building a relay board, but it's easy if you plan ahead and ...

While they do not have them on his site, you may try call in http://www.intakehoses.com/ to see if he can get what you need.

I've bought from them and was very happy with the product and service, but have no interest in the business.

You can stage the two TB's with a progressive linkage, so you start on one and the other comes on later, but faster, with both gettng to full opening together.

The megamanual discusses 70 psi as a point of concern for injectors.
