I don't think the MSD would be the problem. Are you running MS1 or MS2extra. If your running MS2extra then in the bottom right corner of megatune there will be an indicator that says synced. It should be green with the engine running. Watch that indicator and rev the engine over 3000 and see if...

What exactly is it doing? Does it totaly loose sync above 3000rpm? I'm assuming your NOT using EDIS. Have you set the VR pots to fully counter clockwise? If so you may need to change some components in the VR circuit in the megasquirt. I don't have my 1uz running yet but I did have a ford...

Japlish, litldv8 If you check out this thread for the Megasquirt user groups forum, http://www.msgroups.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=22905 They are trying to organise a megasquirt get together in Toowoomba.

Sounds like you will need it sooner than me. When I get a chance I put some info together for you.

There is no more news on the trans controller. Work on the Hot rod has been progressing very slowly. I have had it running on the bench but that is as far as its gone. If you have a use for one I could send you the info to build one if you don't mind testing it yourself. Cheers Daniel.

I don't think that would work as you would also need to cut spark to the "deactivated" cylinders. I also belive the engines with cylinder deactivation also stop opening the valves on those cylinders.

Do a search on msefi.com for injector wiring. there is a thread there that talks about the different ways to wire injectors on V8's and other engines. I think it said to wire every second one in the firing order together. Firing order of 18436572? would be (1467) and (8352). If your not using...

I Believe "SideShow" can make a device that will "manualise" your gearbox. ie you use the shifter to change gears. I'm not sure how this will go with the factory computers though, but I'm sure SideShow would know. Cheers Daniel.

Ok I think I found the answers to using a 2 wire sensor in a crown gearbox. http://www.lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7864&highlight=speed+sensor http://lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3207&page=2 Also have you thought about modifying the delco? you could bypass the "VR...

AFAIK Both large head 3 wire sensors output a 12V square wave. There are some electronics in the large head that converts the VR signal into the squarewave. I think the Soara gearbox uses the two wire sensors. I will have to look at mine but I'm sure you could adapt a 2 wire sensor in place of...

Hi Hooter, I think you will find this document usefull. http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h16.pdf As for the crown speed sensor, It has a 12V square wave output. I'm still unsure as to the number of pulses per rev but it is a lot more than 4. normally the signal is passed to the speedo...

Hey Hooter, You find your mate will only be getting 1st, 3rd and 4th (no 2nd) by shifting manually with no electronics connected to the auto. Cheers Daniel

Hi Bob, As sideshow said check you have 12V to the injectors. Each injector should have 12v on one pin and the other pin is grounded via the ECU. Cheers Daniel.

I will second the above info. I'm setting up a megasquirt 2 v3 pcb on my 1UZ. I plan to run the three triggers and the duel dissy setup with MS2extra code. I am going to use the factory ignitors and coils. I have an LCDash which will be my gauges in my hot rod. I have also built my own...

Hi Fred, Do you ever sleep? Good to see you are putting the word out about DIYEFI.com now. Cheers Daniel

Yeah it's a good document, I can't count how many times I have read it. There are more good toyota documents on that web site as well. cheers Daniel.

This Document might help. http://www.autoshop101.com/forms/h16.pdf

I have the same dash as well. I traced most of the wires but gave up when I couldn't get it to power up on the bench. I also tried to get a wiring diagram but had no luck. Cheers Daniel

mshawari1, EDIS8 wont work with the standard trigger wheels and duel dissy setup so you wont need it. You will need to run the MS2extra firmware to use the stock setup. I plan to do a write up about my setup as soon as I know it works. If you do a search for my user name here and on the MSextra...

It's good to see someone else using a Megasquirt. I'm going to be running a megasquirt on mine aswell except I'm going to use the standard duel dissy and trigger wheel set up. I'm also using a second MS2 chip to control the standard auto gearbox. The red coils do look good with the red leads...
