Cant wait to see how she does. Would be great to see the look a someones face when their LS1 gets blown away by a v-6...........

ok so your gonna go ahead and TT it now? i hope so! thats badass. but surely with that TT you can tune it to 400FWHP right? just bcuz its so much more fun to throw that number out there even though its only 25 more ponies

btw that kit looks great!

Well I wont be turning the boost up extreamly high. I'd like the car to stay reliable as I can. If I even hit the 325 fwhp number I'm okay with that. This will be my personal DD.

With limited after market performance parts. There will need to be a sht ton of one off stuff needed to fab up @ 400+ fwhp, just to keep her from self destructing. I'm trying to stay as resonable as I can. I already have to rethink almost the entire engine bay, because of very limited space. Battery needs relocated, A/C needed removed, windsheild washer rez needs moved. Front facia needs removed, then space and a bracket need fabbed for the Inter cooler to be just behind my front divider and so on. Braceing and on and on. For 400+ fwhp the fab work goes throw the roof and then it becomes for me too much for the limited time I have till the snow flies and I have to pull the Camaro off the road for the winter. The rarety of the 284 (cant find one) makes it hard to push those 400+ numbers @ the crank with an auto. The 4t60e is'nt known much for it's strength. I destroyed my first one in one burn out on the original tune @ nearly 100 fwhp less then the above planed TT set up. I have an HD 4t60e but now I'm not too sure I trust it will hold up. Last thing I wanna do is pull the trany back out after 500+ motor breakin miles. I'll keep ya posted.. Laters..

Sending for Megasquirt II engine management kit today...WooHoo!

Kit contains the following:

Onboard MAP sensor for NA or boosted engines up to 21psi!
Speed density or Alpha-N.
Use any injector - High or Low impedance.
Compatible with output from narrowband and wideband O2 sensors.
Log data on your laptop for later analysis.
Tuning software is free for download and regularly updated with new features.
Open Source design - all code and hardware information is available online.
Includes proper female DB37 connector and shell for your wiring harness.

Additional Features new to the MegaSquirt-II
•24 MHz HCS12 processor,
•Fuel control to 1 µsec (100 times more resolution than MegaSquirt-I),
•Ignition control (full spark timing advance control, dwell control, etc) for one coil/distributor (7 pin HEI for example) and Ford's EDIS systems,
•On-board stepper motor driver for IAC stepper control (this requires a few jumpers, included in this kit, to be added on the MegaSquirt PCB to connect the socket jumpers to the DB37 connector),
•Ford PWM idle valve firmware support,
•Built-in rev limiter, either 'fuel cut' or 'spark retard',
•All tables are now 12×12 in size,
•WBO2 AFR target table (in AFR units),
•Independent dual-tables for VE and AFR target,
•EGO feedback in wide-band mode is proportional to the difference between the measured AFR and the target AFR, the bigger the difference, the bigger the feedback step,
•Spark advance table can have different rpm and kpa bins than VE and AFR tables,
•115,200 baud serial interface with MegaTune2.25+,
•CANbus networking
•Barometric correction amount and direction configurable in software, and provisions for:
◦barometric correction based on initial MAP reading,
◦independent 2nd barometric MAP sensor for continuous real-time baro correction, or
◦no baro correction.
•TPS values for open loop and flood clear mode are user configurable,
•MAP based open loop can be set as well as TPS,
•Both TPS and MAP based accel enrichment is built into the code, you can configure the ratio of each,
•Blended Alpha-N and speed density is an option,
•2 spare I/O lines for custom controls. (This is in addition to 4 lines for Idle stepper control if you don't need this, or the Fast idle solenoid then becomes a spare if you do use a stepper motor.)

**Smittro** · 07-29-2009, 03:56 PM

Update part2: Picked up a "Touch Screen" display for my megasquirt aswell

Some of the parameters you can monitor are:

•RPM
•Manifold Pressure (boost)
•Air/Fuel Ratio
•Coolant Temperature
•Intake Air Temperature
•Injector PulseWidth
•EGO Correction
•EAE Fuel Correction
•Ignition Advance

What intake gaskets are those?

They seem to have a metal core surounded by black plastic/nylon.. Not sure if I'm even going to use that type though. I'm thinking custom intake @ this point.. The old so called tunel ram plenum has a one piece throttle body, and it's not quite where I need it to be. Throttle sits @ like a 45* angle I think I'd rather have it be strait out ahead of the primary intake manifold. And get a different TB for it too.

im loving it man!! looks good! and i see what you saying about the custom fabs. i've never really dealt with computer systems is the megasquirt pretty easy? i mean does it come pretty much plug and play assembled or do you have to like sauder the wires and stuff? and how much was it and the touchscreen? (if its not to personal) i plan on doing a build in the next few years that will require a system like that

It's pricey but not so bad that it would set you back that much. The kit is a hand assembly unit,(much cheaper that way) and has to be soldiered up. And the touch screen was quite a bit more than the kit lol. But it's a true stand alone unit, I fugured I'd just not mess around with piggy backs anymore, it just was'nt worth trying to upgrade the stock ECM. Once the unit is assembled yes it's pretty much plug and play.. The touch screen has 2 USB ports built in you just plug in and down load your tune.
The touch screen will let me monitor the whole system from inside the car anytime and anywhere.

Just plan for spending 4 figures to get ya there with it.
