That's right... I boosted it up to 26 PSI today (with a Super 20G) and everything went very well. The 300 kPa MAP sensor works perfect, the ignition was super strong (took it to 8500 RPMs), and the AFR was very stable and consistant using 72 lb. Siemens Deka injectors (tuned it for low 11's at high boost). I could tell the engine was making lots of torque because the tires kept breaking loose in 3rd AND 4th gear. Actually, it threw the alternator belt off!
Oh my - I'm extremely satisfied with the MegaSquirt and MSnS-Extra 024s9 firmware!
My next step is to get the Megasquirt controlling the Greddy Profec B's boost solenoid.

Nice. Does it still make power up at 8500? I haven't past 7500 yet with the stock cams. What kind of cams do you have?

I've got an extra boost controller solenoid too that I've been thinking about hooking up. There are a growing number of success stories on MSEFI about some of the turbo brick guys using old Volvo valves and they are able to get stable boost pressure using the open loop code, but not the closed loop code yet.
If you are lucky, the resistance of the GReddy valve is greater than 15 ohms or so. In theory that way you will not need to add that much modification (like using the circuitry for LED18) to the MS board in order to drive it.

are you still in TN? if you are, and I get all the shit together to run a MS (assuming I get the car back together...) would you be willing to help me out if i drove my ass up there?
EDIT: please PM me if you don't want your thread all whored up... sorry

I really need to get it on a dyno to find out for sure, but I can tell you that it seemed to pull just as hard at 8500 as it did at 5000. I'm using stock cams. I've tried the 14 grind, 16 grind, and stage 2 cams... all which I took out and replaced with the stockers. I'll keep the stockers as long as I have my current setup with the 20G. However, the car will soon be making a HUGE transition. In the works are a GT35R turbocharger, tubular stainless turbo header, TiAl WG, TiAl BOV, nitrous, BIG intake, more head work, intake manifold, and THEN a set of custom grind cams. I'm not sure of the timeframe yet, but I'm going to come up with a set of big lift race cams for us.

I'm out of town in San Jose this week. I'll post my MSQ when I get back into town because it's on my other laptop. Ofcoarse, the tables are going to look funky and not match up because I'm using a Motorola 3-bar MAP sensor and the code MSnS-Extra code changes the bins.

I'm all about helping people out, but there's a LOT going on right now (we have several first and second gens that we've been tweaking) and I'm getting married in less than 2 months. Also, installing an MS isn't an afternoon or weekend task. Where do you live? Maybe I can come out there and help out. Doug

Well It wouldn't be any time soon, hell maybe not even this year. But yea I live In lower alabama, 30 min from sitinlo... in Enterprise. Wouldn't expect you to drive that far (about 6-7 hour drive). We can talk about it later when its closer to actually happening. Thanks.
Oh, and about the cams. I was going to get the crower stage 2 turbo grinds. But you don't think they'd make anymore power for me? when the rebuild is done i'll still be running 42#ers with a SFMU and a s16g at about 15psi for a while untill i can learn enough about the MS. So I should just stick with stock? I've ordered some valve springs already in anticipation of getting the cams...

Doug, I suppose all I really need to know is your contants settings, and your idle fuel pressure..Maybe what idle PW and A/F ratio too. I am going to be ordering the same Accel injects you have, from Summit tomorrow..

Ummmmm yea, you need to take me for a ride some time. And let me know when you sell that other stuff because I might could work something out with you. Oh, and if you ever need a garage or a lift with air tools, just let me know and you can work on your car out here at Rivergate Toyota.

Heh, maybe we can help each OTHER out.. I live in Tallahassee and we can meet up and try to figure out MS. I should have mine sometime within the next couple months.

What are you going to do about your alternator belt? Mine is recently doing the same thing. You don't want to boost off your belt every time you rev it out like that.
