Pushrods, boost, and Megasquirt
 

For the past like 2 weeks I've been working my ass off trying to get my car done for the track. Well it didn't make it to the track for some stupid reasons, but the install is done. The car has been fighting this the whole way, its been problem after problem, and some long days/nights.. the car still isn't running because Megasquirt isn't getting a tach signal for some reason but other than that, its almost ready to go.

The motor will probably go sooner or later, but i am working on building a new motor for my senior project

+1 for using the megasquirt goodness instead of a RRFPR like me :-X

I think your PCV line is pinched :P

Re: Pushrods, boost, and Megasquirt
 

lo0oks like your feed line has a drain flange on it :S

Re: Pushrods, boost, and Megasquirt
 

i cant wait too see the thread about the wastegate how it fucked up

Re: Pushrods, boost, and Megasquirt
 

some feedlines arent threaded and need a flange with thread on it

Re: Pushrods, boost, and Megasquirt
 

where are you trying to get a tach signal from?

Re: Pushrods, boost, and Megasquirt
 

Pin 10 on my ECM gives a tach signal and used that before when i had the car running N/A on MS.. just actually found out that i am getting a signal all the way to MS through the harness but my fuel pump still only primes and i still don't get a tach signal in megatune..

the wastegate won't get f'd up because its going to the exhaust shop as soon as i can get it started and drivable
