I know the pressure MFI pumps deliver is much higher than efi pump but does an original mfi pump flow enough ??

But ass i said, my old pump wasn't all that anyway

I think he knows the diff mate. or else he wasnt doing the build.

[Gregor]

Well, finally got started with the MS wiring loom.

Put the MS ecu in the glovebox, made a sort of relay board and sorted the wiring..
Now just plug all the sensors and make a nice injector loom.

Lots of thanks to JeroentjeRS for the help sofar and the pics

[Mr.T]

Glad to help mate. Shame about the rain. But soon it will be mapping time But as i am not there to help you connect all the wires. Don't fuck it up Ow and thanks for the beer. Really needed it get a good sleep

[wim klomp]

looking good Greg.


Nice to see the updates.

what brand is this intercooler?? Never seen it before

Good luck with the progress

It's one off those brandless chinese intercoolers bought locally.
Just giving it a try, should be good but if i'm not pleased i can always buy one off those expensive ones from a known brand

[Gregor]

Well, managed to do some work on the RST between the rain...

First removed the radiator and put on the stage 3 t3 turbo in steds of the standard one.

Then placed the 10" fans on the radiator and put it back in the car...

Finally got started soldering in the wiring loom till it was dark...

Some piccas..

[Mr.T]

look great mate. But WTF get a good cam hehe. Tell me when its mapping time. ill fly over in my orion hehe

You were making that power on standard turbo?

Yes, i made the 228 bhp 298nm on a standard turbo.
I had the stage 3 on before but it started to pull to high in revvs as my zvh didn't revv verry well.
Now i hope with efi my max. revvs will be higher for a wider powerband.

[Gregor]

Put in the Intercooler today... just to find out now i can't close the bonnet, lol.

Have to lower it a little tomorrow and cut out half the frontbumper...


D:

[Gregor]

Made the bumper fit today... looks nice i think

[Maki]

How will you open the bonet?

[Gregor]

Lowered the intercooler so far i can open the bonnet the normal way ..

good to hear

[Mr.T]

Nice work mate. This is one of the biggest FMIC i have seen on a RSt here. hehe

[roro22]

That cooler is fricken huge!
Looks top

[Willem]

Drove past your house 2day, but your lazy ass wasn't working on the car, but the front looks nice!!!

No mate, had to work today .... Will be on it on monday again

[wim klomp]

looking good Greg



and indeed that intercooler is huge!!!!!!!!!


but fits it nice

[clarke5700]

hi all im new to passion ford i have been told to join by simon (performance ford last mounth zetec turbo xr2) im well in to my fords and im at the moment building a zt fiesta si (well trying to simons xr2 is keeping my garage sapce warm with his gearbox problems) im going down the route of megasquirt coz i luv a bit of diy buy after buying the ecu i read up on it and it all seems a bit scairy? any idears can some one mabe help me as i dont fancy melting any think?

[Gregor]

well added the tubes for the intercooler , the airfilter and made the charge carrier "efi ready"







So, now just weld on the nut for the lambda and put in the cps i thought..... but my engine builder removed the cps holder as i wasn't planning to go efi and he needed it i reccon.....
So to put another in have to remove the gearbox again ... :S... well nice excuse to put my AP paddle clutch in :P

[Willem]

That looks nuts, you did well gregor!!

[Gregor]

Planned on placing the CPS holder this weekend so i arranged a garage and began yesterday..

All the work for this little bugger.....



As there was an AP 4 paddle clutch laying arround i could replace the ap fast road set at the same time.



Placed nicely centered



Messy :P



Box from the gearboxman ready to me placed



Also welded in the nut in the exhaust for the wideband lambda.


Towed it home today so i can be on the programming of the ecu upcoming weeks finally :P:P

[Mr.T]

Is that all you did??? you lazy git. Get to work and finish it all so we can start mapping the thing

[Maki]

Mine's running already But still didn't map it. It's on some map that was in default files. Maybe you gregor have a good example of ignition table from our type of setup?

[MarkXr]

Ey Greg,


This looks great mate! Hope your EFI conversion turns out to be good but I think it will.
Good luck with the built and keep us updated.

Maybe I'll be converting mine too in the future but won't be aiming for 300BHP though.
For the time being I haven't got time to work on my car though......

Thanks mark,

But it isn't a straight forward job and i'm having some problems.... perhaps ecu related

Don't think it will be ready for lelytown

Did you use the ford 36-1 file in default??

Mine doesn't seem to get the cps signal in some way so nothing works

[Gregor]

New update.. well... seems my MS has a fault in it....
I ordered it assembled just to prefent problems like this...

Well have to get that sorted first grrrrrrrrrr

With the question you asked about 36-1 It seams that you have theory problem not with the MS.
Aren't you using EDIS module?

[Gregor]

Yes.. i meant are you using the 36-1 default file that is in mega tune ...

My problem is when i crank the engine i don't get an rmp in megatune whatever i do with the map settings.
Looks one of the component has been to hot while soldering ( or whatever that's called).
Bought a new component today and will put that in this weekend....
A mate off mine will come over with his MS to check if it's responding in my car.


I'm not using edis...
I've got 2 ignition coildrivers build in the ms so the ms is directly connected to the coil without the edis module.

If you use Edis You wouldn't have your problem. You only had to connect two wires to the MS and no risk of having anything getting to hot in the MS as all the stress goes to the EDIS module only PIP and SAW signals are getting to and out of the MS. I did it like that and I had no problem with the ignition from the day one I instaled it, but I fried some things too, so that's almost normal Hope You'll get there some day

Using the EDIS is the easy way. A lot of cars are using the coil drivers in the MS ecu. It should work good but it isnt made good. Thats the whole problem. The guy who made it is a noob. He should have known better

Problem is not it got to hot when installing the ms but when the ms was build. ( not by me :P )

Direct Colidrivers should work without problem.

But the problem is i´m not even getten a cps (rpm) signal in megatune so obviously i got no spark but that's not the problem area in my oppinion.

I'll get it sorted butt it'will take some searching for the problekm,, but hey that's all part off the hobby

[Gregor]

I notices today that when i crank it all meters go to zero in megatune....
Hooked up a volt meter to the ms and when i crank it i got no voltage on it....

I did the wiring according to the schedule i got with the ms.
So the yellow powerlead when it's on contact powers everything but when i crank it there's no power on this...

Schould i connect the cranking puls lead as well to the ms so i got power to it when i'm cranking?

Stupid i never saw this before..

Hooked up the MS to a constant powerlead and got a nice 300 rpm when cranking

[jonnyrsturbo]

like it

[hai07222]

Looks great, nice work!

That's the first thing you had to check you hook it to the black wire not the yellow from the ignition switch the yellow one is used for the cars stereo and everyone knows that during cranking you hear no music in RST
