those do look pretty good. one thing i was thinking of doing when i had mine was getting lugnut covers from a big truck to go over the huge lug nuts you need to run with these wheels.

Video sound clip of the Ansa exhaust!

Car is a bit quicker and the top end feels better. But all of this is Slightly.

Here is a clip from in the car - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZushZ5m1K4

Went on a nice long ride, car is driving very well! I'll ask again if anyone has any -

Megasquirt 3 - Ignition Maps & Fuel Tables. The rest I have gotten from the base startup file that msextra.com steers you towards.

But progress is now at all Brakes are done! With new parts everywhere!  Now I can Stop.... Suspension is up!

1st up! 2003 Rear Ford Focus AGX shocks. Then I want to finish it off with mr2 AXG upfront with the Lovell's Lower(1.0") Spring, Like King but Light Blue and I have them on my 2005 Montero Limited (night and day difference with b6 bilsteins installed!) and whatever poly bushings I can find, mostly ES in red ha ha !

Another question - What color wire should I be running to my Coil Negative for RPM signal? I'm using the yellow one from the harness side of the old ignitor, but my Tach is off, it's like a range finder rather than a steady Tach signal. BTW Megasquirt Tach signal is rock steady and is also attached to the negative side of the coil. (2 separate wires) - any idea?

Here is the last tune on megasquirt i used.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/09wuw5etyvrbzmr/workingtune_w24.rar?dl=0

I had a supra afm header and a engine builder 268 cam.  I build a diy pnp and used all the stock sensors, the megasquirt had a map sensor built in that i used. I can't remember if its ms3 or not though been a while.

Thanks, I'm going to compare and see what is what.

I'm very curious how our tables compare, I'm still learning the sweet spot of this motor.

Update time....

Latest engine bay shots, got the GM idle valve dialed in, starting pulse was about 100rpm too high also fixed and installed a solid state coil from MSD and went back to copper core plugs. I'll post a startup video later today!

The attached photo are as follows -

1. Engine Bay now
2. Dedicated Megasquirt fuse panel and wiring harness (slowly replacing stock stuff too as it's corroded in most places )
3. Direct coil control - look ma no ignitor  :heh:
4. The GM idle valve running off the stock hook up's from the TB and manifold

All in all she is awesome and fun to drive, and to think this s all done now so i can focus on the motor hard parts like a new head and HP cam, she does have 225k miles.

MS3 22re Celica

Tune File Attached - Rename to a ZIP file and UNzip
REVIEW ALL SETTINGS BEFORE TURNING THE KEY (you've been warned)
*base timing must be set to 10 or 8 degrees, your motor may vary so try both! This is FIXED when setting it up, idle at operating temp.

MS3 v3.57 board with Built in MAP sensor and Direct Coil Control.
As you can see, no need for the Expansion card unless you start adding more stuff.

36  ---  IGN   ---   High Current Ignition - Direct Coil Control Bip373
37  ---  FP  ---   Fuel Pump

GM Idle Control ( Optional but 22re needs some kind of idle control)
25  ---  IAC1A   ---   info here https://www.diyautotune.com/support/tech/assembly-instructions-for-the-iac-pigtail-piggy/

Current State.... Front are much lower than the rears.

Tie rod is on for life so i say $uck it

new inner and outer tie rods, new control arms with bushings and ball joints and the t3 steering knuckles with their RCA.

Then I can do the Front Oil seal before going on a test ride,  F me right?

Solider on!
