I like style 32s but own two sets of style 5s.

Which look even better with the meshie cap. Timeless cars look better with mesh wheels for some reason. Can't wait, just gotta finish polishing the barrels on them so I can put then on the big coupe!

^^Most definitely this!

I6 cars sound amazing, and the m42 is a buzzy, finicky power plant. If it's an m10, it'll just be slow, and almost bulletproof.

PNP Megasquirt

Aren't you in Phoenix? We could make an MS harness in a weekend if we really really really work hard at it.

Yeah, Scottsdale. I want a PNP kit so I can pop the stock ECU back in without an issue while I work out the bugs tuning. Have you run MS before?

Not on an m42 car.
I've done over 20 installs on various makes and models. Right now at home I have my Volvo 242 ms'd as well as my dad's turbo 76 280z. There's another 6 local cars running either my harnesses or my tunes in AZ.
Doing my 635csi this winter, and hopefully an ITB N/A build on the integra I just got.

Can't you just make a jumper harness that converts the stock wiring harness to the megasquirt connectors? (Like this but for megasquirt)

Jumper harness only work on very specific setups. MS activates things by grounding them, where as VTEC solenoids get +12v from the ecu, or how many Nissan's have +12v at the injectors regardless of key position (even off), which can damage the MS ecu.

This is why the diypnp and PNP setups usually have a special board to handle relaying power or inverting signals/drivers.

Oooooo purdy!

What're you using for a 3D scanning setup?

This is so awesome!

Has the technology gotten to the point where it is pretty easy to deal with the scanner's data? Another guy and I gave this a shot about 4-5 years ago but the conversion from point cloud to mesh, with a reasonable amount of accuracy in a low cost setup was just not there.

Are you using it for engine mockup? We wanted it for exhaust manifold design in a couple of 1uz swapped ae86's. We never made it that far though.

Speaking of accuracy/precision, what tolerance does it have? At another shop, I was picking up the front of engines with a faro arm knock off to design supercharger bracketry. Is this accurate enough for this?

rscott, that car sounds awesome!

I would get an aftermarket parallel flow condenser, make some simple brackets to mount it, and then have custom lines made for the compressor and condenser. Custom lines aren't too expensive actually.
You could also check out coldhose.com if you don't have a local place that could make the hoses.

I'm considering finding an e30 to drop this cammed s50b30 I have instead of making another barely legal race car... I'd buy something from not-the-southwest so that the paint and interior isn't hosed though.

Goddamn... The more I think of it the more I want an e30 with my s50b30.

Too bad they're so roached out here because of the drat sun!

Only thing I haven't played with yet is the ebrake assembly, but right now I have working 5 lug rear with e36 m3 discs and calipers

Did you just press in the hubs as well?

Because if so, looks like I won't be making poo poo on my e36 m3 since I'll be keeping most of the goodies.
