Cool, let me know your progress on the MS i have mine sittin here waiting to put it on, im still kinda confused on what im gonna do with the ignition. I cant get a straight answer, some people say to lock a NA one, some say the stock one so iono. I've got the MS built ready to go tho.

Re: 88' 626 first project in along time
 

yeah. i havent attempted to tune at all yet. wont till I get MS. im just running ~11psi. any higher and I get fuel cut. but even ~2 psi over stock it totally hauls compared to the stock setup

IM trying to work that out too. it seems that guys are using a stock trigger wheel from inside the distibutor and grinding down 2 teeth 180 degrees apart and setting one of them at 60 degrees BTDC. Ive stopped reading for now because itll just confuse me with out pictures and im out of town so I cant go to the garage and pull the dizzy off of the spare engine I have to get a visual reference. Alot of the terminology is foriegn to me also, so I think I will the kit, put it together and then read more on the tuning after ive had my hands on all the parts.
Heres an idea...how about YOU get yours up and running and then help ME with mine :y

Re: 88' 626 first project in along time
 

Well im starting on it as soon as MS sends me a peice that they left out of my kit. As soon as i get that soldered in im starting on it so hopfully we can help each other out lol

Well alot has changed in the past few months. My t-bird T3 blew the ---- up in mid-May or so. I took it off and sent it to BLAAST for inspection , though I knew it was fucked. Decided to get a T3/T4 from him, got that, installed it and then the engine blew the ---- up in mid-June. Swapped the engine for the one I got from the Probe with the 5sp. tranny. Next I bought, built, installed and tuned Megasquirt. Removed 5th gear since it would pop out under load, "machined" it, reinstalled it and now, by the grace of God or something it works fine(though I am hesitant to put any real power through it). Next on the list are some bigger injectors and a 255lph fuel pump. Both of which I have, but have yet to find the time to install and re-tune. Heres a few pics of the progress:

Yes, the EGT guage is held to the others with zip-ties. ---- You, it works, this was a $500 car.

I can't believe that the stock(used) clutch is still hoding strong. I'm making probably 210-230whp on 11-12psi. That is a complete guess though as I havent dynoed it yet. It will be dynoed when the injectors are installed and boost is upped to the 16-18+psi range. hoping for 300whp or so. I raced a brand new Mustang GT the other day and it was pretty even until I shut it down at about 60mph.
