Finally nice weather, and time to burn,

so this is what I did today.

more here if you are interested

http://noddle.110mb.com/Megasquirt%20II%20v3.0/index.html

still tuning it, using the self learn feature with my wide band, to get it close,

I must say it's a steep learning curve, since i haven't done anything like this before.

How's the tuning going Nigel?

Has it made much of a difference to the car?

Hi Andrew,

Since the motor is still dead stock, the only difference I have noticed, is that it has just a little more torque, the reason I know this is that were I like there is a hill, that when I drive up it in 4th at 60ks, about 2/3 the way up it, I need to go back to 3rd, or it drops back to 50ks, but with MS It sits at 60 all the way, I know, not a lot better for the expense.

But When I bolt on my turbo (the reason I brought MS), I will be able to keep the AFR where it needs to be, and not lean out.

But my next step is to install EDIS, so I can control spark (my dissy's vacuum advanced is stuffed)

Still have lots of little projects on the go.

good stuff nigel!

beat me to it haha!

i have to put mine off for a while.... leaking radiator (yay) will look at alloy S13 item for replacement

I'd recomend getting a radiator out of an EL koon car - bigger and better from a 4lt and cheap as from any wrecker

Finally,

I have EDIS running with Megasquirt, in the end it was fairly easy to setup, just some nerves, (not wanting to fry my Megasquirt, you just need to follow the directions, and check what you have done for mistakes)

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
