I was always of the understanding that the shafts were for felt vibration at idle.

What he bought it for is a good indication of what its worth. If he can sell it for that then he has skills.

Now that's a good way to go mpi. A vg30e/et is a swap I'd do.

not many cons for the 84-89 300zx and the engine is one of the best, but that could be said for many nissan engines.

nissan power. I'd liked to swap a vg33et in a quest but a sr20 should do well.

i bet that car is rust free. mine was

all that on the slushbox which i see no mods for. i doubt he has that much.

whats up all. this was my first starquest meet. that last round of bumper cars was great. who has the video of that the vic is getting those turns for sure

I use Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40 for non synthetic oil and Mobil 0W-40 for synthetic oil. i was using mobil1/k&n oil filters in my cars but i read i review that said Purolator gold was just as good if not better. It's aslo about half price but i would say any name brand will be fine. I also read fram does suck and based on that a supertech filter is better as its made by champion labs who also make mobil1/k&an and many others, just to different specs.

If you get a car that is a year or two old you avoid alot of the cost. I don't see why the government has do all these programs. The most effective way i think to help is to lower taxes.

thats it, i'm going back to the stock EFI! I don't have the time or money to tune something that will need to be changed every time i change something that effects VE. If my engine was where it was going to end up this might be fine but as it stands its not. I'm going to end up changeing this turbo and the current settings will be of no use. If this was a ms1 i could just upgrade to ms2 for cheap and get a bigger VE map.I just looked and ms1 extra has a 12x12 map and i believe thats just a firmware update which if you con do on the fip i don't know how. the fip/ms1 map is just to small and the tuning option are lacking. It would be fine i think if i had mpi and a good intake manifold with SD but tuning with the o2 and a small ve map with tbi just don't work for me. It takes to long for fuel changes to happen with tbi and by the time to does its to late. It is my opinion that the power difference that can be had from going to fip/ms1 on tbi vs the stock maf system is not worth the problems that go with it. Does the stock 1500cc or so not support atleast 300hp. I don't think i would want to tune SD on tbi above that, i might break something! I would rather make changes to a system thats already been tuned than tune it myself. I think i'm going to try and go eev-iv with a maf. Since its maf 2.3 or 2.6 with turbo, the ecu will not care as it will make the ve changes for me. If i can make it work then i get all the tuning ford spend lots of money getting right. Of course if its already been done i would like to know. I don't know why people like SD its a pain to tune. Now what would be great is a SD/maf system. A 97 blazer has this i think. I think the maf fills in the VE table then the map takes over cause you unplug the maf and the engine still runs. I know the microsquirt firmware has this but i don't know how well it works. And to be fair, FIP might have been great when it came out but it has not been updated nor is it the cheapest. I would no consider the fip ecu a option at all. all this is my opinion of course thanks to all who replied. I'll keep you posted just in case anyone cares.

No, it was already on the car but it was not tuned right. Without using it before i got it to run ok but it still has drivability problems. mostly when i'm changeing throttle positions on decel. at what, $800, its not that much cheaper than just going mpi from stock. one thing that tells me how good a system is is its resale value. what would someone give me for the system. I bet i would not even get close to half of retail. Thats true when i do go mpi i can keep what i got but the fip computer cant be upgraded to ms extra can it. If i want that i have to go ms right. I guess it does not matter if its a copy or not the point is it has limited upgradability. If it was not already on the car i would never have bought, i would have gone MS2. That might cost more but its a better system i think, has lots of support and upgradability. To autoxer that would be great as i mostly can do the constants page and little else. I also need to change my turbo, i think its really small. The turbo will do 10 or so psi at half throttle and 15psi by about 2300. The car just feels like it has nothing. I bet a na z31 could bet it. Anybody ever put a z31 t3 on a SQ, if so how does it do. A t3 is already on my car so it should not be that hard. thanks

Its already on my car so that would require me to remove it and then my car would not work at all.

yes you could claim that but i'm not talking about other ecus, i'm talking about fip and megasquirt. I know its a knockoff/based off MS1 because it uses megatune. So what is it that makes it not a knockoff. I guess that answears my question, you have to rig it up to make it work with 4 injectors. So how many injector drivers does fip have 2. I just dont see what good a fip tpi setup is good for over the stock setup or why someone would pay this much for it over going mpi with MS2. Sure i can tune it but with the stock tbi i dont need to becuse it uses a maf. I'm going to end up pulling this $800 setup out and going full MS so i will have some tuning options. where are the directions for fip or how it should be tuned. I would like to do autotuning with a wideband but there are not any directions on there website. thanks for you help

how do i hook up a wideband and have megatune auto adjust it? where are the directions for hooking up extra things like idle controls, going from 2 to 4 injectors, stuff like that. is there anyway to add a maf. i know you can run bigger injectors but you lose the factory tune and maf which i liked. just because it has a different board layout does not mean its not a megasquirt knockoff, it uses megatune. would fip exist if megasquirt never did? thanks
