i've researched about what mods are needed to get the megasquirt to work in a rotory engine
an electrician at my work i always shoot the sh*t with is an rx7 guy too ...offered help whenever i need it

 

honestly...is your life that pathetic you have nothing better to do than to come in here and talk sh*t in my thread....you haven't contributed anything useful to it... so why don't you quit wasting bandwidth and filling my thread up with your bullsh*t...really maybe you should read the very first post in this thread alittle more closely...

 

im going RRs way swapping front covers and **** basically im making 3 cars 2. s4 into the s5 and s5 into the s4. i read eveyr thing on the swap and found it not worth swapping all the harnesses that i have readily availibe. his way is much easier. and he knows a hell of alot more about rx7 then most people

alright, now there just giving you a hard time..

honestly the swap isn't that bad...

use this magnificent site called EBAY!!!!

as for the megasquirt.... kinda sketchyyyy
but hey at least youll feel acomplished when you can rub it in these guy's faces.

best of luck man

 

Electronics are a world apart from what an "electrician" deals with. Building circuits is nothing at all like wiring sockets and light bulbs. If you don't have any electronics knowledge, it's best to practice first. Buy the Megasquirt Stimulator and assemble it before you go and start working on the 'Squirt itself. This will at least give you some practice in the type of soldering required, even though you may not understand what you are soldering. For the most part, the rotary specific modifications are well documented so if you can follow the instructions it's likely something you can do without much electronics knowledge. But if something goes wrong, you're screwed.

Do you work at Format? I may know this RX-7 guy...

In what way?

 

Kevin is so damn funny..

I wish you luck however I certianly think u are going the hardware about this!

 

You makin' Megasquirt puns?

 

nope. My buddy is using MS on his n/a 7 and I have personally used it with another friend on his Eclipse... I was meaning his swap is going at it the hard way when S4 to S4 (atleast intake and electronics) would be easier

 

Yeah, I know, it was a joke. I was just going about it the "hardware"

 

BWAHAHAH lol I never caught that hehehe good one!!!

 

i've already done all my research for it ...i've changed eproms in ecu's before and helped my buddy with his h22turbo civic with a megasquirt


its not that guy with the 302 in his rx7...
circuitry is circuitry

 

Sounds good then. There's a big Megasquirt section here that you are probably already aware of which will be of great help with base maps and wiring info. If you need help with the 'Squirt I've done a bunch, but be aware that I don't half-*** wiring. This is a much better way of doing things then cobbling together the S4 and S5 ECU harnesses.

The guy with the 302 I have not seen in years. 1st gen with lakepipes...not really my style, but kind of cool.

 

I picked up a MINT 87TII Chassis last week from Joe at RPM motorsports (GREAT GUY!)
no rust at all on this car 141,000kms,lsd,4 piston calipers
i'm goin to drop the motor in it today an start bolting up the mechanical things
I still need a FMIC,boost sensor and exhaust to get it fired up.....but hopefully within the next couple weeks

i'll post picsof what i get done today later on this afternoon

heres some before pictures....i scrubbed the engine bay down....now its spotless!

 

Very cool...im actually dropping mine in this weekend as well.

Were almost neck n neck with our project. Congrat's on that TII.

 

heres some pics for today....i don't know how to make them smaller so they are shatty small pics

pics of the garrett turbo,OS GIKEN twin disk clutch
i just tossed the IC pipin on to seee what'd it look like

 

so any updates

 

i work all week i only have time on the weekends to work on the car
everythings inand hooked up ...i'm just waiting on a boost sensor and FMIC to fire it up

i disected a S4 engine harness took out the wires i need from the FEM 01 and 02 cables stripped the S5 harness spliced in the FEM 01 and FEM 02 cables....
then spliced the S5 end onto the S4 chassis harness

 

Is that a JDM EM harness? USA harnesses have two plugs in that area. Just asking. Never seen a JDM EM harness before in real life. Talking about the picture you posted of the harness.

 

yeah it was a jdm engine harness on ebay

i can take some close up pics of any of the connectors on the jdm harness if you need them ...or write out the wire colours

i just joined the S4 FEM 01 02 cables.....its basically splicing some grounds...direct wire connections and the couple wires your left over with are useless

 

all the doubters can suck a dick!!!!!
got it fired up this morning
just need the boost sensor and intercooler and i'll take it for a drive

the windshield wiper works too!


WOW all with a total of 4 days working time on it ....to put the engine in by myself switch over the harness and get it fired up......for someone who has never even so much as done an oil change on an rx7 .....i really must have no clue about what i'm doin with motors . really....... look at my post count i'm just some stupid noob
just here to be blessed by RR and all his infinite wisdom
