Any SCCA racers out there?
Hey gang,
[I was thinking about posting this in the race section, but I post there all the time, so let's try something new! :) ] I picked up a used MS-II that I'm probably going to be putting in my S5 track car to replace the stock unit. Evenutally I'm hoping to run it in SCCA ITS which means the NA engine from the AFM to the exhaust ports is fairly stock. All emissions and all solenoids have been removed. The 5/6 port are gone, the VDI is wired open (RPMs rarely fall below 4-5k on the track). BAC is still there. Cone filter is on the AFM (which I have to keep), exhaust is open with an RB header and mid-pipe. Finally, I should be able to replace the stock ECU harness with an MS-specific one. Has anyone tuned for such a beast and have any recommendations, comments or tips/tricks that I should look at? Thanks, -b |
I ran MS1 in my ITS car for several years before switching to MS2 this year. I highly recommed it, but plan on it being a much bigger project than you might anticipate. You're starting at the right time of year.

Hey, thanks Marty! It's nice to hear that someone has blazed the trail before me. This is definitely going to be a long winter's (and them some) project.
What gauge setup did you use to monitor the WBO2? This is a good idea - definitely one I hadn't thought of. I will also look into the Palm Pilot approach. One of my other projects is putting together the "poor mans TraqMate" using a PDA and a bluetooth GPS. I wonder if the various RS232-USB adaptors work with the MS (since my Dell Axim PDA only has USB output). Thanks again for the help, -bill |
I recommend strongly against the missing tooth method. I'm not sure why you couldn't get it to sync reliably with the 2nd trigger, but normally using the 2nd trig is a lot more reliable. (It's a lot easier for the code to trigger on, and you don't lose accuracy around the missing tooth).
There are several steps you have to follow to get the 2nd trig working reliably, but once you do, it just works. Ken |

The only PDA MS software that I know about is Palm-Pilot specific. You may not be able to use it on your Dell. Check http://www.blessedmemories.net/Palm/PalmLog.htm. Worst case you find an old PP on Ebay that is compatible. |
