TrisK Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 TrisK "thanks kieran for giving me the idea, telling me how to go about doing it, lending me your ecu" hey yeah no problem tristan...Kieran thank you for talking the idea over with me. Thank you for the diagrams from your car. And thank you for lending me the ecu ( without you it never would if happened). Also thank you for answering a million questions and thank you for giving me lots of help with the start up map ;)I always forget you have an account of here. To those who don't know. Kieran is my fabricator, welder, engineer, assistant tuner and one of my best mates. He has a kick ass mr2. Which is where my megasquirt came from.

Actually I changed nothing under the bonnet. Just plugged the Ecu in. The installation method Kieran and I came up with doesn't even involve opening the bonnet ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5e colin Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 nice 1 trisk how is the setup on yours ???? stock dizzy or cop with crank sensor ?????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 nice 1 trisk how is the setup on yours ???? stock dizzy or cop with crank sensor ?????? As i said before mate. Stock dizzy. The installation for this particular megasquirt is plug and play pretty much. Theres a few more bits to get it running right and to its best. but the whole thing will run with 100% stock sensors, and without cutting any wires in the loom.

TrisK Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 with the adition of a IAT of courseTheres a IAT in the inlet of the GT. So i think it would happily use that if we didnt have the GM one plugged in. Atlhough we'd have to find the scale of the stock toyota one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triple j Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Your using the 24-1 using 2 vr pickups, i was going to do that but i had to install zeal board, i rather a true crank readin and now am held up waiting on a trigger wheel from diy autotune. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. The distributor reading is imo accurate enough. It tells you RPM which is basically as it needs to do The only issue will be if i want to go Coil on plug in the future and ditch the distrubuter. but i have an idea that was used to Rob H with a mazda cam sensor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triple j Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ms is great there is so much ways u can run it, the 12-1 dizzy mod is a mazda thing bit of messing to set up, have u done much tuning yet, i have a power fc 4efte base map am going to convert over to ms and start from there.

Just set the requred fuel and some really basic settings and started it. Havent got my wideband on yet, so limited with knowing how it was running. also had some problems with the wiring adapter id made, so remaking it. also adapting to run an auto TPS. Couple of months and we'll be there. I used a 3SGTE base map generally. was pretty rich, but got it started. The real bugger on the 4efte, is checking the timing, to set it to 10 degrees. Its a pain with the power steering pump on, and i cant be bothered to take it off lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triple j Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Shit can a timing light not get in there, am mad to get going at it wideband is there and all as i hav being mapping my e manage a few years now, what tps are u fitting, am in the same boat as u i will share any breakthroughs i come across lol.

I found it pretty tight, with the ps pump and a engine torque damper on the way. i couldnt get it squaare on the mark. Gonna try again another day. Ive got a glanza automatic TPS with throttle body to fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A PowerFC was never made for the startlet. It is a 3sgte mr2 one. With a wiring adapter and a few small changes inside (sequential to batch fire/recalabration of tps etc). I used that theory and the fact you configure nearly everything in software of the megasquirt. Also aided by the fact Kieran had an mr2 pnp megasquirt to hand meant it was a no brainer. The adapter cost about £10 to make. And they sell the megasquirt for the mr2 already assembled for $819. Which is about £450. Pretty cheap for a plug and play stand alone right. They'll be a few more adjustments, true variable tps, clutch switch etc to use the cool megasquirt features. But the car should run and drive fine on 100% stock loom and sensors Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 If you didn't want to solder you could depin and repin the Ecu plugs for a truly plug and play. If I had a glanza with the Ecu in the glovebox I probably would do this. But with a gt I didn't fancy hours lying the footwell so made the adapter on the bench Quote Link to post Share on other sites
