mklotz70 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey...I can pull the dizzy on mine and claim no dizzy too! Damn, that's one hell of a list of "stuff"!! I'm feelin' like a slug for the pace I'm moving at. How are you putting the subs in....fiberglass? Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yea, but if you pull the dizzy, can you drive it?? :) As far as the stereo and interior in general, I'm undecided on how far I want to go. Current thought is the double din DVD in the stock dash area, just going to extend it a little. Goal is to look stock(ish) on the deck install. Subs and amps will be in place of the rear seat, a somewhat stealthy setup, nothing visible through the windows. This way I still have an empty trunk for trips and such. It's going to add a lot of weight, probably 200lbs. Which is fine, it's not a race car, it's a driver and I like the tunes. Plus, I can add power to offset the weight. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I love that engine bay!! Dam you guys and your megasquirt.:P thats it I'm gunna sell some more stuff to fund it, speaking of money :) haha no rush dude, I just couldn't resist. I'm glad that fuel pump is working for you. I found the other low pressure one the next day I was at my shop, its funny how it always works out that way. If that one works I'm not sweating it though. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I cleaned the engine bay a little bit tonight. Really surprised me how much a little 409 did for the way the engine bay looked. Fuel pump is working great! It was nice to drive the car all weekend! Thanks Iceman! Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yea, but if you pull the dizzy, can you drive it?? :) I can honestly say that if I went dizzyless on most of my vehicles, they would still drive the same! :) Quote Link to comment

Blur510 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Anyone want to buy a pair of Digital Designs DD9010 Dual 2 ohms they are awesome subs... but im selling the SUV it was in... Also I have an MTX 1000d and a pair of mtx 502's Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 is that the most recent pic of the eng bay? I thought I read somewhere that you cleaned up all the wiring all ready. Not sure which one of the 64,001 datsun forums I read it on. :) Don't lose my loctite......I'm assuming that since you're driving it, you did actually lock the pulley in place. I guess it's captured on the backside.......would make a cool mark in the hood if it flew up at about 7 grand :) I wouldn't trust the machine work on it!!! Maybe you should mount it up on mine for a period of testing....like until the vg goes in.....say about a year...give or take 2 years :) Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yes, that is the most recent photo. I have not done the wiring yet. I'm waiting until I have the EFI installed, so I know what needs to go where. Then I'll sort all the wiring out. The loctite seems to have worked. I didn't weld it or anything yet. It looks good thus far. Quote Link to comment

mklotz70 Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 I thought you did the machine work :confused: :eek: :eek: :D I did....that's why I was cracking on it! Hey...just cause I gots me a lathe, it doesn't mean I'm a machinist! Yesterday I could barely spell machinist....today I are one! :) That loctite is supposed to take about 400deg to get it to release. I don't think your crank pulley is ever going to see that temp! Besides...it was pretty much a press fit anyway wasn't it? Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Yes there is an interference fit. Quote Link to comment
Cookapoop Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Are you running the EDIS module, or the coil drivers in the MS(v3.0)? Using the VB921 FET's Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Are you running the EDIS module, or the coil drivers in the MS(v3.0)? Using the VB921 FET's I am using EDIS. MSII v3.0 only has provisions for driving one coil. EDIS is the way to go. Quote Link to comment
Cookapoop Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 I am using EDIS. MSII v3.0 only has provisions for driving one coil. EDIS is the way to go. Are you sure? I agree that edis is the way to go, but... "Because it doesn't need a camshaft position sensor, EDIS is a particularly easy way to replace distributor ignitions when retrofitting older engines with a modern computer programmable ignition, but we now recommend directly driving the coil packs from the MS ECU using the VB921 FET's. This does away with the EDIS module, so all thats needed is the 36-1 wheel, a VR sensor and the coil packs." This is a direct quote from the MS website. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Here's what I'm sure of. I've done two MegaSquirt conversions - my L20b and a VG30E, both in 510s. In trying to sort out the details on the ignition setup on the VG30E we burned up a couple VB921's. I have the VG30E running now, and I am the one who has done the leg work to get the documentation updated. Second to that, my car is running great with the EDIS setup. With all that said, you are correct and I intend to eliminate the EDIS module and let MS do all of the work. The change you are quoting is a very recent change on the MS site. So, yes and yes, but not just this second! I am extremely happy with my MS system and I don't even have fuel just yet! I will have fuel within the next few weeks though! Cook - I hope that helps. The Iceman and I are pals and I'm happy to assist in any way I can. I may actually be up in that area this weekend... Question - can you post a URL to where that quote comes from?

Cookapoop Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 http://www.megasquirt.info/ I apologize if i sounded like an ass, it was not my intent. Ice and I are pals too, and I actually look forward to talking with you about the Megasquirt. I'm sure ice does too. But anyhow, above is the link. You may have to do some pointing and clicking to get to the edis info. I was more or less just curious as to the most effective way to run EDIS is. Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Ok. Here's the thing. That is for MSExtra firmware on a MS1 ECU. I have a MSII ECU running the standard code. MSII offers a ton of new features. MSII is no longer being actively developed by B&G because MSII supercedes it. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Wow you guys are having tons of fun without me... what's that all about? I like how you guys are being civil in your conversation, I'm happy :D I think that is the toughest thing about forums. Its hard to hear there tone of voice because there not really talking :) I was hoping you guys would teem up and figure all this shit out so you could teach me :) I'm kind of a slow learner when a computer is hooked to my education.... haha I don't understand the different boards and vs... please tell me the pro's and con's :) Just "pretend" I'm a little slow :) Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 MSI and MSII are the processor. II is the newest. I has been around longer. The "extra" code is out there for both processors. MSI extra has a TON of features. MSII extra is rather new. MSI standard code doesn't have ignition support - fuel only. MSII std has it. MSI extra has it. MSII extra has even more than MSII std. Seeing a pattern? MSI is no longer developed by B&G - the peeps that design the stuff. MSII is what's current and what I am running and what I recommend. MSII has CAN (Car Area Network) support which will allow for some amazing stuff when the expansion boards come out. Stuff like 16 channels of input/output. A router board to allow sequential injection. TONS of trick ass shit. I have MSII with a v3.0 circuit board with EDIS. It fucking rocks! Quote Link to comment

I didn't take it as bad at all. I'm all about getting MegaSquirt in dattos! I'm down to help as well. I'm picking up a manifold next week. So, I'll have injection going soon. ITB's are a little further down the road. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 What happened to the ITB's dude? As for the MS I should get MSII with a v3.0 circuit board? Quote Link to comment
