Re: Starting to tune on Buick 231 V6 MSII, TBI, EDIS

Well, I got it running OK over the weekend and test drove a few times, letting the Autotune start to do its thing on a WB O2 sensor.

But I am still very confused about how much fuel this thing is requiring compared to the basic calcs.
For my injector flow at my fuel pressure (2x TBI injectors each ...

Re: Starting to tune on Buick 231 V6 MSII, TBI, EDIS

I bought some flow-tested and matched pair of "61" lb/hr injectors. I will be working on it this weekend. This is my plan:

- Run an injector flow test in Megatune starting with aprox 1ms pulse width and tweak to find the exact opening time of the injectors.
- Configure Megatune with the actual open ...

Re: Starting to tune on Buick 231 V6 MSII, TBI, EDIS

From what I recall the fuel pressure gauge was showing about 12.5 to 13 psi.

Thanks for the link.
I don't remember seeing any color coding on the injectors, but I will look for the part #.
Unfortunately the car is in another city and I only get to work on it about one weekend a month.
So I have to ...

Starting to tune on Buick 231 V6 MSII, TBI, EDIS

Hi all. After a couple of month of gathering parts and plotting and planning everything, and then a couple of weekends of installing everything, I have completely converted over from a Holley 390cfm 4brl carb and distributor, to a 500cfm 2brl GM TBI and Ford EDIS-6 under MSII control.
The engine has ...

Re: MS2 V3 on Megastim 2.2. No PRM or O2 input.

It turns out my board had been damaged.
After looking at the schematics for the optoin line, I followed the problem to a broken PCB trace between D1 and D2.

Bridged the trace, and now I have RPM input and O2 response... so far looks like everything is responding as it should! :yeah!:

Re: MS2 V3 on Megastim 2.2. No PRM or O2 input.

Thank you for the offer to help. It would be great if it is just a software or firmware setting that I have overlooked. That would mean that my hardware is so ok. :)
This is my first attempt at all of this, so if you see anything glaringly wrong, please feel free to point it out!
.MSQ File should be ...

Re: MS2 V3 on Megastim 2.2. No PRM or O2 input.

Update: I have confirmed that every component and jumper should be in place up to step #55, which should at least give me all inputs into MegaTune from the stim board. All of the capacitors and resistors are correct values-- the diodes and transistors are much harder to read the numbers tho to ...

Re: MS2 V3 on Megastim 2.2. No PRM or O2 input.

Never-mind. After digging deeper, it looks whoever out this thing together simply stopped at step #55. There are about 19 required components missing (that I do not have). I just figured they were for optional configurations that were not being used.

So yeah... I have bigger problems that no RPM ...

MS2 V3 on Megastim 2.2. No PRM or O2 input.

Running firmware 2.891 on a MS2, V3 board. Testing done with MegaStim board V2.2 with 12v feeding it. The Stim board was purchased fully assembled from a supplier "confirmed works". I purchased the MS2 board from someone who had someone else build the kit for them. It is built for Ford EDIS ignition ...
