New to MS and have a few questions
Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2014 2:37 pm
Hello everyone,
I have read for a couple weeks trying to gain knowledge on the MS and tuning for my application but still come up short on a few unanswered questions. I think I know what all would need but figured I would get on here and ask the veterans to see if I am understanding everything correctly.
What I am wanting to do is run the MS in Parallel with the stock ECU so I can retain the factory gauges and such in the car.
The car details are:
01 Cobra SVT - Summertime occasional driver/street car
4.6 DOHC (coil on plug obviously) - (large cams, ported polished intake etc etc) (400hp)
manual trans
Naturally aspirated with NOS (200hp shot) currently, but moving to turbo possibly next year. Looking to try E85 before switching to turbo.
currently has MSD two step on it ( could the MS replace this?)
PLX wide band
J&S safeguard system (http://www.jandssafeguard.com/)
I have PLENTY of experience soldering boards together and have done plenty "KITS" for holiday lighting so I definitely want to assemble myself to help learn. Which kit would be best suited to run parallel with the stock ECU? Would you run a relay board or use the stock relays in the car? The reluctor wheel is a 36 minus 1 I believe. Since I would be running parallel would I need a harness or wouldn't it just hard wire into the stock harness? I have plenty of time to learn the tuning portion of it so thats no big deal. I would just like to get everything ordered correctly in one shot to be done with it. I appreciate any and all input!
