The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview.While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
I have a 89 Swift gt that i have had running for a little bit now. Im Running a 65trim masterpower turbo. I have it set at 8 psi but spikes to 20psi in 3rd gear. Im going to be taking care of that problem as soon as i can get the cars tune straightened out. I have a MS2 with 3.57 board. Im not familiar with these units or tuning on my own for the most part. I can take fuel out here and and there but am not too confident yet. I had it tuned at a local dyno and the car ran great but didnt idle well. I have 440cc injectors in this 1.3dohc motor that is running stock 10:1 bottomend. The problem I am having has me lost. It ran great for about a month but then all of a sudden went from running about a 12.5afr about all the time(I know pretty rich) to running between a 9-10afr. I think it might be running richer but the lc1 might not be reading. Then after i pulled fuel back and got it running about right it went back to where i had to load the dyno tune back in. Drove for about a day that way and then bam extremely rich again. I have checked and all of my connections are good, injectors are clean, got good sparck. So now I am lost and comming on here for guidence. I have the stock map sensor that came in the computer which I think was good for 22psi and I thought that might be it but it seems to be reading right. Im not familiar with the settings on the ms so i just have the basics in and the wideband isnt hooked up to the computer. I have everything grounded well but that didnt make a difference. I am not really too sure on what else to do and have considered taking it to a shop but sadly i was layed off in december and cant afford to take it to one. Ant help would be appreciated. I am in the Lakeland,FL area if anyone is around here that could come take a look. Thanks Stephen
