best thing about this engine is that it came in this shitty 240sx i bought and wasn't really taken car of and had a lot of stupid issues, so i sold it to him for $100 for this swap.. it then turned out to have ka24de forged pistons and cryogen'd rods :hmm: .. thing was about to blow up tho, idiots who had the car before me tried starting it without oil and all the coolant jackets were full of garbage lol

So much to read!! O_o I understand a little bit more and i can see how some people said going with MSPNP is really tempting but i dont have $800 to spend on that LOL (but it does keep the wiring nice and neat) Thanks for the posts and links tho guys, its definitely a help and a step in the right direction!! I think i'll probably attempt this with MS2 + Stim, it will just take longer than i planned but most important to me is getting it right.. and the sound of open stacks WOT, i like that a lot lol.. I think what makes the most sense right now is doing the rebuild first and dial it in with the SAFC and wideband I already have installed.. Then build my ITB/Manifold, study a lot more about MS, build the MS2 components, and then install them all at once.. It might not be until later this summer but I'll make a build thread on it when it comes time

The biggest thing for me is that MS is pretty confusing and seems to have a high learning curve.. SAFC is so simple and i can tune it myself.. If i could understand megasquirt 3, i'd probably have no problem using it.. I just like being able to know about everything in my car and work on it myself and not have to bring it to a shop everytime i need something changed.. I would however like to fully reap the benefits for open stacks, so it's really tempting either way.. Is there a beginners guide out there that is slow enough for me?? I'm not the sharpest kid you'll ever meet..

Yes this helps me out a lot, thank you.. I haven't bought them yet, but the Suzuki GSXR throttle bodies have the air idle already on it.. I'd like to run open throttles but I'm not sure that I would wanna run a standalone fuel management to convert to MAP sensor.. Using a MAF is far more simple but the airbox plenum somewhat tones down the effectiveness of having ITB's in the first place..

Yes, im doing it with an airbox and MAF so i can avoid having to use megasquirt.. I'd like to be able to tune specifically with my SAFC and wideband..

Pretty much the same set-up I'm going for..

Hey, hows it going everyone, ive been info gathering from this forum for a couple years now, but things are going to light so i needed to make a post.. I'm going to be rebuilding my KADE in my S13 coupe this spring and I've been wanting to do an N/A high compression build with ITB's for the last few years.. I have no interest in boosting, already have another 240 for that.. For internals I'm going with KA24E pistons 11.1 to 1, 248/248 stock cams, evergreen timing chain kit w/ oil pump, and new crank bearings.. I'm buying GSXR 1000 ITB's and cutting the stock manifold runners 5" from the flange and attaching with couplers like most people do.. Here's the kicker, I'm going to use a Q45 MAF and tune it with my SAFC 2. To do this, im building an aluminum box plenum where the filters would go and having it draw air from a 3" inlet, reaching from MAF and 5" Filter... I'm shooting for 165-180 whp from this running 93 octane, this will probably become possible when I can afford a chromoly flywheel and 1-piece driveshaft.. The question I'm poseing is, how would i get this to idle without the stock idle air controller?? If i keep the throttle cracked open, it plays tricks on the ECU, so when you stomp on the gas just for a sec, it dips down and revs up, creating a lag in throttle response (also it takes a little longer for the revs to drop).. I've been thinking maybe drilling small holes in the ITB's, then drilling them bigger until it idles where i like, but thats a little too crude and I see problems from that.. Anyone have a better suggestion?? Real quick pic of my car.. (sort of my intro thread lol)
