Ah, nope not wrapped it. Better do something to it I suppose.

I dont have any bolts on my compressor, so stuck with the outside edge. I like that one you linked, I could make the bracket up pretty easily.

I using Supra 7MGE's 305cc injectors, on MS1V3. I could really do with a decent base map, trying to find one on the internet but nothing as yet.

Pm me your email address and i'll send you some base maps. You'll have to change your req fuel to suit your injectors, but its pretty easy to calculate.

old injectors flow rate /new flow rate gives you the ratio then scale your req fuel by that.. I think thats how I did it when i changed from stock to rx8.

305/420 = ~0.73

When I switched I did that then I think I just altered the req fuel by a tiny amount until it started.

If nothing else it'll give you a decent spark table

Oh yeah it was my mums 50th birthday on the weekend, so what does a family of car nuts get as a present.... an other car.

This absolute beauty of a Triumph Herald Convertible, which was her first car and and has always wanted one again.

Fuck sake I have zero idea whats this Megasquirt tuning is about.

Plugged it in, loaded a map onto it that towelie gave me, but when I turn the key to start the engine nothing happens and the radio dies. As it I have switched it off, but the lights are still on the MS1.

Think I need to do some reading on what is what!

Scratch that, fucking immobilisers!!!!!

 

[Sketchy]

errr...........lol?

:rofl:

 

[alexevans]

FUCK MY LIFE.

Got it started on the original ECU, lovely plugged the MS1, started. Sweet........ oh is that smoke, yep thats smoke, yep thats smoke from the MS1. Left the fuel relay in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Driftmonkey]

Dude! I put a note on it saying pull it out.
Think it just toasts some diodes

 

[Sketchy]

Errrrr.........not lol.

Yeah I know, but in my tracing the not starting issue I had put it back in to run the original ECU. Forgot to pull it out.

Photos to come of electrical toast......................

 

[alexevans]

Right then

What have I broken?

Can it be fixed by a ginger ape? Or does it need to go off the Scuzzle or alike? I do have a soldering iron, but it still unopened in the box.

 

[alexevans]

Excluding my above faliure, to which happened because the "Diablo" immobiliser had a earth cable which was fixed to the back of ECU cover plate, that I didn't realise. It wasn't a bad day.

Following this thread here http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=1311&page=4, I think I have wired my TPS correctly???

From the thread

Mine

Also I painted the exhaust;

Which now finished, sits like this;

Fitted my old GV lip back on, I feel off a track back in November and I managed to run it over :doh:

A bit battered

 

[joemx5eskimo]

its a diode thats popped

 

[alexevans]

its a diode thats popped

Any ideas what sort?

 

[joemx5eskimo]

Is it a stock ecu or after market. remove the diode from the board see what number it is then contact either the company that make that ECU and find out what value you need or contact mazda if its stock. Most likely a 1N004 or similar. it probably a protection diode

 

[alexevans]

Megasquirt MS1 bud, burnt to shit so can't see what diode it is. It must have have some link to fuel regulation.

Nice one DM, mega helpful as always. So my 'hit with hammer' level of appreciation for electrical items I require a 1N4001 transistor?

Like this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Diode-1A-50-Volt-1N4001-/281266437102?pt=UK_Computing_Other_Computing_Networking&hash=item417cc93bee

Have you managed to get your ECU fixed yet? Did you use that .ini file I sent you? as I don't think that map will work with your ECU.

I should have been more clear, you should remove the settings off the map I sent and plug them into your map and off you go!

as said early you have to scale the req fuel for you injector size.

...my t28 build is a runner now and absolutly flies after a few adjustments to the original map
