ok, here is what i have

2.0 ABA

gsxr 1000 itb's

passat 16v cable shift tranny

going in a 1980 caddy.

id like to run fueling and ignition off the mega squirt just to keep tuning as easy/crisp as it can be.

what should i start buying? i do have the option to run my ignitoin off the early style vw standaloneish igniton system if that will be fine and save me a bizzion dollers. btu id rather have it all in 1 unit just for ease of tuning brain pain.

.... its time to get this moving. i need my caddy running liek 3months ago.

ok i forgot this guy existed,

PATATRON.com

seems his 8v kit for 299 isnt bad othe rhtan it dosnt comce w/ the motor harnus for that price.

if for 300 buk si can get everythig nto buildthis on my own w/ all the odd's and ends that seems fair. i 1/2 own a lm1 wide band set up so i dont realyl need a intragated wide band but i kind of want it...

That's where I'm getting mine, already paid the $$ and have been waiting for nearly 1.5 months.  Finally got an email from him.  If you buy from him, don't expect it to be fast.

holy fuck!..... 1.5months. what a turd!

waht did u order?

I still haven't got the box either :)

I ordered the 8V distributorful box

jess, you can buy the parts as a kit for like, $150...if you have a hookup with wiring, you can make a harness for cheap. i was at the mercy of paying full price at Napa for all of my connectors (gm weatherpak stuff) and wire...i bought out all their 16ga wire in every color, and had to order more....was something like $200-$250 for all of it. kinda steep, but like i said, i got 0 help on pricing with any of that.

if you want to buy the stuff and are skeptical on soldering it together, i can do it for you. i've built 3 boxes so far....one of which runs right now, the other 2 are my car and pickles setup.

also, since you are using an ABA setup, you have a crank reference sensor, you can integrate the whole ignition system right into the 'squirt for not that much extra work. i think between me and paul, you could get it up and running (more so paul than me, he's done the shit numerous times, i have only built the boards and made Photoshop wire diagrams).

hell, paul probably has a 2.0L x-flow itb program from his buddy's car that was running the Puma ITB's...as easy as install, wire, turn key, drive.

i want itbs on my caddy crossflow. . .. . 

holy hell yeah!... that sounds rader than pie on a nipple. .!...

ok start puting some links up on where to orer shti to make my own shizy at. i need to get th eball rolling on this project ASAP as its sat for far to long. if i coudl get it runnind id wet my self!....

its either i spend time buildling installing new injecton or i stuff the busted ass motor that literly sprayed oil out of it backinto the truck and hook up the CIS again so i can at least move it in and out of my shop.

thanks!

anyone use this guy to get parts thru? seems much better priced than that dude from vortex. yeah iv got to put this stuff together but how hard is that?.. i moded my x-box. this cant be much harder.

I get my kits from either DIY or Glenn's garage, no problems with either. Honestly though for $300ish for a fully assembled MS1 V3 it's almost worth it not having to think about building it. I only build my own so I can do my own QC and leave out a bunch of expensive parts that I don't use like the voltage protection stuff, the VR stuff and the on board 'hot' ignition.

how much time does it realy take to build? 1 evening? 2 weeks worth the free time? a month of free time and a babys worth the bone marrow?...

They normally take me two week nights from nothing to a working and tested unit. I'm a bit experienced though and have a TON of soldering/assembly experience beyond MS.

so 2 night or 2 weeks worth the nights?.... if i read u right u say 2 nights, thats rad, i could waste 4 nights figuring it out, and im not too shabby w/ the old iron. allthough i need to get a updated nwer verson of doomb!. iv got to sale a car and ill get this stouff. i caught my self up in this car fliping bs tryign to make a buck. let me get this over w/ and ill get to spend some extra cash made on this deal (if ther eis any by the time its over with) and ill order me up a v3 kit w/ all teh frills!

Two nights, after work, so not starting till 7 or 8 and going to 11ish.

PS don't get all the frills, make sure you get the V3 with the MS1 processor. Running the fancy code on MS2 is bleeding edge and the car I've been trying it on thus far hasn't been working.

I got mine from DIY, hes good.

i went through glenn's garage for my stuff. arrived promptly, and all labled as to where each resistor went (r1, r2, etc), each capacitor, etc....i'd probably spend a day working on it if i did it.

i kinda wish i had a V3 board, but i'm so far into my setup now, i dont want to change it for the mere fact i'm ALMOST done with it...i just need money and motivation.

Definitely get the V3 if not for nothing but the proto area on the board. All my V2.2s have shit haning in mid air encased in silicon. It works but it's ghetto.

i bought some bread board peices, i was gonna cut them and find a way to mount them to the board via some screws so they aren't hanging...if i have to leave the top off i will.

but i'm lazy, lost the bread boards somewhere in 2 different moves, and have since gotten so out of the loop, i think i'm like 15 versions of megatune behind.

Get 2.25 P1 it's the shit. You can cell rope in the VE table and add, sub, multiply and = makes tuning cars easy. I can tune a mild 16v in 30mins or less.

got a link to it?

so your saying i should get a V3 and duff needs a V2.2. if i dont need all the frills and threals of the v3 ultra bang package. what v3 tings shoul di be looking to get? and when will ube over to tune my car/

No I'm saying Duff needs Megatune 2.25 version P1, http://www.not2fast.com/megasquirt/mt/2.25/ make sure you get:

mt225p1_setup.exe       08-Mar-2007 11:39  740K 

Thats the hot one.

Jess you can use almost any 2.25+ Megatune version with any board and code.

You should get the V3 board just because it's better, it's the latest version, people know more about them now, it's the 'standard'. Just make sure you get the MS1 processor and not the MS2 with it.

can do!. thanks for the heads up!. nwo i jsut need to get some cash out of some pending car sales so i can aford aprts!

grassyass my omigo. <--that's spanish.

ok, brining this back from the dead cuz...........

i actuly now own megasqruit. with the help of paul and the power of my dad's money i got.......

megasquirt 1 V3 with the 11buk dohiky to add spark/coil pack contorl to it!........

now the fun begings. i cant beleve the optoins on ho wto biuld this thing and then all the optoins for what the fuck it can do! wow.......

my goals.

run fuel and spark off the ecu.

2.0 aba motor withe GSXR ITB's.......

should be fun fun fun......

Good luck man, I'll try and keep posted to this thread to answer your questions.

ill be starign the baord billd next week i asume, i hav eye tto find any help on how i shoul deven do that ....... im a bssket case. more i think of it this was prob a bad idea
