hi lads iv just rebilt my motor and got it running for the first time in 8 months i now i have get to have it all set up at MSD as it has blues in at the mo and a T3 but it will need to go onto greens and a T34 as i will be looking for about 350bhp . the ECU is a L1 so im told and the chip ????? the car came to me with grays and the T3 wich is well rong . wot i need to no is wot ever ECU and injecters are in the car should this make the motor have a mis fire up to about 5000 then clear well sort of it seams to be holding back and if you try to go round the block its got no power and is stutering as if its running on 3 but we have put 2 lots of plugs in it and we have turnd the motor over with all the plugs on the rocker cover and they all spark . its got NEW leads NEW cap NEW roter arm NEW faze censer and all the timing looks spot on . faze censer is at .3 crank .75 and its got 10dar on all silinders on conpreshon test any forts to wot it might be it all so has a 4x4 inlet manifold on it with a 2wd frotel body on it

Think I've seen your build in resto section (white 3 door?) and its mint. Fair play you've done it all, but take it to a tuner now. You don't want to fall at the last hurdle.

col

use a map sensor which is the same that matches your chip

if your car has a chip to run a 3 bar on it you have to try another 3bar

if it has a 2 bar same goes for that

ok lets clear this up.. your on dark blues now? with a chip thats not for the injectors? you want to go for greens and a t34?

so why not just get a t34 bolt it on, get stu at msd to program you a chip to your spec and then you can move it and go and get it setup?
