    Time to go to a stand alone

    I understand that. I would just like to say that mine works flawlessly, and does not generate any excessive heat. It is only energized while moving, which is minimal. But I am using 7M stuff, not 1J

    Thanks for the comments guys! Nash-man: This car does not have a Toyota differential. I Installed a 8.75" unit out of a 1968 Big block Dodge Dart. I don't want to be in 5th gear at the drag strip, I want to stay in 4th, and make 1st gear a little more useful. Update: I...

    Time to go to a stand alone

    MS3... I have no idea, but I assume it would work just fine with all factory thing. One thing I do know is, the DLI Multiplex system is stupid, and it sucks, so I got rid of it completely and just built my own ignitors from scratch

    Just so all of you guys know... I am willing to help some of you guys. BUT, I will not help with everything, it is your responsibility to answer ceartin questions about your own setup. For example, if you want to run another ignition system, or COP, or other things. I may be able to figure out...

    Launch control works by backing off spark timing a lot to change when the combustion even takes place, and it can also interrupt spark completely so it "misses" to get some of that fuel combustion going on in the exhaust manifold to spool up the turbo. You can really set it to do many different...

    Time to go to a stand alone

    Man you guys are lucky I'm willing to share all my hard work!!! I got it to work great, just use my rough setting from the previous pics I posted on the last page in tunerstudio.

    Chassis dyno ramp upload rate vs actual on road

    It's actually not a water brake dyno, it's all electric. $5000+ dollars a day to operate in electricity alone! (But free for me! )

    Time to go to a stand alone

    I highly reccomend Megasquirt. I started from scratch and from starting building the kit to running 11's at the track within 2.5 months or so working on it on and off. I can tell you how to wire the IACV and how to get it to work properly. Very easy once I figured it out! (I did the hard work...
