Holy crap, since I've been in school I just haven't been getting anywhere fast with this build
. Anyways, I have been doing a ton of research over at stf, learning as much as I can about megasquirt. I also scored a couple of type 4 cases, a crapload of various dizzies, extra 71mm crank/rods, and some 103mm pistons and jugs, all on the cheap. I am going to add 4 coil drivers and go with ford COPs and VR. I managed to get my hands on a ford engine harness, so I'm going with a ford TPS as well. I got the trigger wheel all sorted out. I DO NOT need to upgrade to a MS2, MS1 with MSextra firmware can handle direct ignition easily. Since I'm not using EDIS, I will have a few more awesome features at my disposal: ign retard rev limiting 2 step launch control shift light plus all the rest of MSextra's awesome features. I need to snap some pics of my wiring for MS, it turned out pretty awesome. My 2L is in pieces, I decided to split the case and make sure everything is good to go. Looks like it was recently rebuilt so i'm just going to clean it all up and reseal it (its a filthy mess ). This motor is going to be all stock(someone had converted it to a hydro cam ), I just want to get it running and sort out megasquirt. I'm saving my NIB raby cam/lifters for the 2270 build, just need a few little things and some decent heads. I kinda like the idea of having a spare motor.I am really glad I went with megasquirt, the more I learn about it the more I like it. |

Here's a little update:
type 4 motor is going to be reassembled soon new Mahle mains new raby 9530 cam new parkerised lifters 1.7L heads with new everything opened up to 94mm 911 swivel feet adjusters 1.7L rockers 71mm crank polished and balanced chromoly pushrods new clutch Rimco is still working on the heads, I still need the pushrods, but pretty much have everything else. I also managed to score a used 091 but I need a IRS subframe before I can use it. I also got a set of huge brembo front calipers/rotors off a ML430, but I need decide if I'm going to go with 5x130 or 5x112. Right now i'm leaning to 5x130 since the rear brakes would be a lot simpler to sort. I need wheels to, I have a soft spot in my heart for Cup 2 wheels. There is still a bunch of little things that i need to do like sending off my type 4 injectors to get cleaned and flow tested, and i want to add a few more circuits to my MS (continous baro correction, tach driver, shift light, and launch control) I got a set of GSXR COPs, but now I need to find some slim 14mm plugs with threaded tips (just need to go to my FLAPS and look at their plugs) I also got a 64 notch parts car, that i cut up. I'm going to use the ft/rear aprons off that and i got 2 spots of cancer that its donating metal to. An added bonus is it came with all kinds of hard to find/$$$ goodies that my notch needed like the correct engine lid, a good steering column, and a sweet set of '62 gauges. I have a side project going on with a set of GSXR ITB's. After I get my current setup together and running I'll concentrate on making that work, but its looking like a sweet little setup. I have been updating my photobucket, the link is in the original post. April is the Texas Classic, I would love to drive this thing there. |

Damn it's been over 6 month's since I updated you guys. I think it was may when I finally got this thing running. The bus Ljet sucked so I ditched that and installed some 38mm gsxr throttle bodies...much better
![]() I made a blog with my setup http://supaninjanick.wordpress.com/ So I finally decided to plunge into the GL theme with this car, here's what I'm doing as far as brakes/suspension and wheels: IRS subframe 944 S2 torsion bars 944 early Al control arms 944 turbo rear brakes 928 S4 front rotors Mercedes ML430 front calipers 7" twists ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I got a lot of work ahead of me this winter
