many thanks for all the engine help you've given me.

How quick is it being so light? Who built the car?

I would try to get a chargecooler in there to allow you to run a bit more boost.

car is just over 500kgs with a full tank, goes like a rocket but still having the ecu mapped, i've bought a intercooler off ebay so will see what we can do with that lol, i built the car over the last year and as fat as i know i'm the only one with a s12, as most people go down the ford route.

How are you going about mapping the megasquirt? Did you solve your fueling issue?

500kg is very light. I want a go in that lol

a mate of mine built the megasquirt for me is also a god at mapping them, as soon as we get it near its going to go on the rollers

fueling prob was a buggered feul reg and spark gap to big.

Where do you plan to get it mapped?

Back a few years ago I looked at Megasquirt, but unfortunately found the info on the internet all over the place and hard to follow. In addition my local rollers weren't interested in trying to map a system like that, probably because they don't like working on systems they don't know.

i live in lincolnshire and the rolling road is in peterborough, i will need my mate paul there though as the rolling road guys dont know what there looking at.

just going to charge me £75 ph for the use of it

Cool ok.

Providing you can monitor the fueling it shouldn't be too hard. Making it to drive nicely with good response may take some tweaking but its probably better on the open road for that. Mapping it for full throttle is the easiest bit, its everything below that which is harder.

So, what made you decide on MS then?

i couldnt get the original ecu to work lol:D

Oops. I've done a mates car. You need to be good at wiring, and on the wiring diagrams it can be hard to trace all the power supplies and earths

That looks like it'll be a scream! - Lovely job too - only 500kg's? - Can't wait to hear what it'll do 0-60 in!.. :D

so, what are you hoping for, and in relation, the Ford-based boys running, power-wise mate?

Fab to drive
 

Nice job there mate, not being cheeky what was the kit like cost wise, how much work was in from the the floor up.

Thats going to go well with a bit of a tweak i reckon, i agree with martin on the chargecooler idea not have to worry about soace at the front either.:) :)

0-60 should be around the 4 to 5second mark, as i've used a lsd so i should be able to get the power down ok

the ford lads run mainly pintos so around the 12 to 140 bhp mark some use zetecs so around the 150 bhp mark

dont really know what i'll get out of the nissan to be honest

the kit cost me £3k (www.mksportscars.co.uk) and maybe another £1.5k for other bits the engine i got for £100, £600 for a hybrid turbo

i suppose its cost me £5500 to build and get it registerd on the road as a Q plate

just got to start a few tweeks now so i'll have to have a read of the tech bit on here
