i think next up was the boost control. just checking to see how it is all coming out. what all can u control now besides fuel, ignition,i think knock? thanks for the update i will be ready

Yes Mr. Slick, I've been waiting anxiosly for my MS since two month ago. Please get back to me.

There are quite a few people working on the boost controller part of the MSnS code. I'll probably be trying it out once I get mine built. If I'm lucky I'll have mine working on the stimulator tonight or tomorrow.

Don't forget that the whole MS thing is *experimental* and quite DIY - if you're looking for something to plug in and have it work instantly like a S-AFC you shouldn't be buying a MS.

EDIT: For the latest (and best) MSnS information, look on msefi.com

i can do some things, but i am wanting to get it with all the options from slick, he seems to be a stand up guy so i think he will guide me. im just trying to get the car to the paint booth and then its time to crank her up.
thanks ner for info keep me posted.

Howdy.

Basically an update of what I'm running on my Ms setup right now:

Complete fuel control
Complete ignition control, spark is now under MS control.
300kpa MAP sensor, good for 29psi.
Boost controller, still finishding hooking this up.
Launch control, tested, sure is fun
Nitrous control, just gotta fill up a tank to actually test it
Nitrous anti-lag, see above...
3 stage shiftlight.
EGT input

Things that I am still working on testing are:
Knock detection
Electronic BOV feature that I came up with

And a few other things that I forget right now...
If anyone has any questions, hit me up.

TXTurboGs, you got PM.

EGT input...cool

electric BOV? opens the BOV based on TPS postion I bet. neat idea...but really usuful? other than a cool feature?

*edit* how many things can this little guy handle before it starts slowing down?

So go down to Best Buy and buy some more RAM, like two 128 SDRAM ought to do it

I believe that the processor used for the MS2 and the UMS will take care of the memory shortage...?

Your pretty much on target with the BOV thing... I don't know if it's usefull or not, but will stop the BOV from opening at idle and low rpm/no boost situations... so it's worth a try. And the MS is still goign strong, although it's pretty much out of RAM... So not really any more features that can be added...

Can't you order the microprocess with more memory? I found a few microprocessors that are relatively cheap that are a bit faster, more memory, with 10-bit (as opposed to MS's 8-bit) inputs, so accuracy will be a little more precise. I was thinking about trying to convert part of the MS code over and use a different microprocessor that can handle a little bit more (was a 40mhz chip as opposed to the 32mhz they currently use.) I have a bit more research to do before I start ordering parts and designing on a breadboard, but hopefully I can get it working with ports, ram, and speed to spare. I see that they have a gcc port, so that is a possibility for ease of converting. There are a few similar, but this is the one i'm currently looking into: http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1335&dDocName=en010283

slick i have an avcr and i have glassed a hole in the dash for it. can i still use it with the ms? just not the ms boost control, or will it help it out also? traction control would be a good thing. especially if we are running hi psi
definately interesting. thanks for you time in developing it for the 2g and for the time to respond to my questions even if they may seem silly.

so basically the traction control would only work when braking ...how does traction loss while accelerating have anything to do with a abs sensor? im confoozled

nooo shit i didnt know how ABS sensors worked

learn somethin new everyday

Very sweet. As soon as I get my block back My MSnS will be getting installed controlling a 2.5L. I cannot wait to start the install.

best time so far 14.3 @ 101.1mph(no traction)
www.cnnmotorsports.com

ya, good shit. i just took a trip with my car from south florida to chicago. and places inbetween. and the ms worked fine the whole way. so its def a good choice to go with. mine only controls the fuel so far, but while im up here, im thinking on adding the spark control also. slick, ya gonna have to send me the link to that page again.

Anyways, the cpu used in MS uses 512 bytes of ram, while the CPU I linked has ~4k, so about 8 times as much. It runs on a 10mhz bus, but the cpu itself runs at 40mhz (4x clock multiplier). I was under the impression that the MS cpu used an 8mhz bus with a 4x multiplier (so 32mhz total), but am not that familiar with the cpu offhand. I am sure it has 8 8-bit analog inputs, while the CPU I am looking at has 10 10-bit, which may be overkill, but hey, more never hurts . I know the CPU used in the MS is far superior to most common standalone CPU's, so it is in no way a bad unit! I will hopefully be designing a circuit for this cpu in the near future and see what I can do about porting some of the MS code or rewrite it from scratch to do what I need. Anyways, if it falls through, I may be looking for you to get an MS setup that way I know it comes complete and ready to go/do what I need.
