Hi,

I will start with dizzy and coil. Later on I might upgrade pending results.

Going well with the build. Have completed all necessary jumpers and loading software this afternoon, will post results..

Its a late late 1987. Cheers.

Sounds good Old, keep us informed mate

Some pics for those interested.

Almost there (hopefully). Also a pic of my first oil change at 500kms. Motor is pulling hard with fresh oil that isn't running in oil. Went out in the wet and its just wheelspin, wheelspin and more wheelspin! :D Everything is actually going perfect, finally some good karma or similar!

Just a quick question. I noticed you don't have a BIP373 ignition driver installed, so are you using the standard Toyota VAST system to drive the coil and provide the tach input for the MS?

If so, I advise you install a BIP373 to run the coil, because with the VAST unit, if you use spark retard/cut limiter, the motor won't actually spark cut (The VAST unit returns to 10' timing in the event of no timing signal IE: spark cut) and it will keep revving. You could rely on fuel cut, but anything running boost + fuel cut isn't a good idea in my books.

Keep up the good work mate, rep'd you on toymods too

Hi Knightrous,

I am glad you have spotted a potential problem. Please let me know if you see any thing else that is not right.

Thanks for the tip, I dont remember reading anything about BIP373. Do you have a link explaing this driver and its install process?

The BIP373 gets installed in Q1 in the ignition section of the board


This is the BIP373 kit - http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/diypnp-upgrade-bip373-ignition-module-and-heatsink-kit-p-387.html




In other news, there is some real progress happening with the MS3 and running VVTi Won't be long till MS3 will be able to handle a 2GR-FE with all the bells and whistles activated!

Just reminded myself I should post in this thread.
 
In 2011, I swapped a 4AGE 20V Silvertop into my AW11 and the stock ECU died a capacitor leaking death during the swap. So I bought a DIYPNP (http://www.diyautotune.com/diypnp/) with Sequential Injection board from DIYAutoTune (Same blokes I bought my MS2 from).  So I thought I'd share a quick couple of photos and videos while I'm here.
 
When the kit arrived.

 
Mostly assembled.

 
A wiring translation table I did up

 
I had a bit of a struggle to get the stock VR sensors to pick up a reliable RPM signal, but soon discovered I was missing a resistor on the cam sensor (specific to Toyota dizzies). This fixed the tach signal, but I then discovered I was getting sync issues (related to sequential fuel/spark setups). This turns out to have been caused by the fact that the CAM wheel is snail shaped, and when set to "Rising Edge" detection, ends up detecting early. A quick switch to "Falling Edge" fix the problem instantly, giving me a nice RPM signal, with no sync errors.
 
First start.

Learnt very quickly that 2 squirts/cycle settings doesn't work well with sequential fuel injection, hence the WRX sound and lack of ability to rev. Change the settings to 1 squirt/cycle and it sound much better, as shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ee9OuOCSl4
But I still have a vacuum leak, hence the idle at 3000rpm. I also had trouble getting a lower idle KPA on the MAP sensor with the ITB's on the 20V. I fixed that by shifting the vacuum nipple points on the ITB and switching the fuel load algorythm to ITB mode (Alpha-N[TPS] blended with Speed Density[MAP])I fixed that and then took it for a drive.

The stock generated TunerStudio fuel and spark tables were good enough to drive around without running lean or knocking, so was quite happy with that. I just need to fix a few mechanical issues that developed on the car and then I can take it to the local dyno to get tuned. Oh, an actually finish setting up the VVT!
 
I really like the DIYPNP 1.5 units, they simplify a fair chunk of the DIY complexity of installing a MegaSquirt into a car and have plenty of input/outputs available. If you can afford the extra cash, I'd recommend one over the normal MS1/MS2 kit.
 
I think the next thing on my list will be to buy a MS3X for my 1MZFE V6 to play with :)

wooo check it. Finished my MS3+MSX and peak+hold injector driver wireharness. Everything works, confirmed all COP and injectors, sensors etc. Couple of things left to tidy up but thats all

In case some people are not sure, i have the following setup with the ECU:
-peak and hold driven injectors, 880cc delphi low z dequential
-4 1zz COP sequential
-4 bar map sensor with barometric correction
-using stock dizzy VR pickups with an aluminium cap i got from the group buy long ago
-w/a pump, engine room fan will be switched/controlled via MS3
-boost control
-launch control
-2 maps switched via a push button
-TVIS controlled via MS3
-Considering using my Carpc for displaying oil pressure and temp via some senders
-Can autotune
-Can use speed-density as load, or ITB load tuning (looking forward to experimenting)
 
Currently im trying to figure out the last piece of my puzzle, what to do with my throttle body. stock 93 gen2 but i want it as sidefeed
