Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Loaded the WRX trans in my car to drop off tomorrow, I have no idea what the rebuild is going to cost me but I'm optimistic since I'm providing the parts and they wont have to remove or reinstall, just labor.
Got on Subaruparts.com and ordered the last of my OEM parts. Two parts left to buy on my list =) ...Although I'm not looking forward to the clutch.. |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Are you getting a Hydra Nemesis for engine control?

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
I would prefer to get on my hands and knees and beg Tom to let me mail him the new plug and play MegaSquirt that fits our stock connector and see what he can do with it. Not only cause its cheaper but because I don't know anyone within a few hundred miles of me thats a Hydra tuner.

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
I thought the Hydra included software to allow you to tune it yourself like an AEM EMS.

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
ok, I guess the lack of tuning skill does make sense for the SVX community. Great that you don't lock your maps. Do you have the MegaSquirt adapted to the SVX and have a set of base maps for it?

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
I imagine that adapting a Megasquirt would be a fair bit of work because you'd have to figure out the sensor calibrations. I imagine you'd set it up as speed density (is there even a MAF option with MS?). Did you happen to obtain or measure the sensor response info when you were working with Hydra?

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
what response info are you looking for...
It won't be too bad setting up the MS w/ the position sensors... Just run a std 24 tooth wheel setup with an aux trigger for cam position. Tom |

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Thought you might try to use all the OEM sensors, but sounds like you'd just go with all the aftermarket sensors that people typically use with the MS.

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
ok, maybe not as bad as I though. If you go SD, then I imagine you'd use a GM 3 bar and a GM IAT sensor for SD duties, and those calibrations are readily available. You've got cam and crank figured out. NB O2 are all the same, so nothing to worry about there. That leaves the resistance vs temp curve for the OEM coolant temp sensor, and I suppose you'd have to figure out the idle air control valve response characteristics. Would you try to control the plenum separation valve? Have you looked at whether the MS can fire the factory ignition system? And of course it would be great to work out knock sensing if the MS supports it.

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
with enough work it can be done... No one is going to do it for free, which means it will likely not be wanted... That was the point of using the Hydra Nemesis... Plug-n-play w/ base maps... People don't realize what they are getting when they buy

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Strongly agree with that statement. Don't think that people realize that while the MS is a good price, the effort required to adapt it is much higher.

Re: STeeL's built motor/turbo build
Everything was going smoothly until Jesse said to me, "Do you have a 12 point deep well 1/2 inch?" ... Damn ARPs... Finally found one at our FIFTH stop (If you don't have one, don't waste your time looking... Go straight to Sears). So we'll try again Monday. I'm going to order my timing belt today and hope I can get it by then so we can set the timing, after that I can finish it on my own. I'll be putting on the water pump and cross over pipe in the mean time. |
