I don't really have a msq file right now. The engine has been started on a very loose setup just to test. It fired and idled after alot of tweaking the vr pots, it takes a while to turn those suckers down, and that was serveral months ago.

The pickup may very well be G1 I don't remember. The ...

Toyota VAST ignition and MS-II

Are their any advantages to using vast over just driving the coil with the ms2? Currently I have the NE signal going right in to the ms2's vr circuit and am driving the coil with the vb921. I still have all of the vast stuff sitting in a box somewhere and am at a point in the project where if I want ...

Ok I attempted to run the numbers, and I came up with some values which I have no idea if they are right or not.

I assumed that the relay draws 133mA (90ohm coil at 12v)
And if I read the spec sheet right (I have no idea how to read spec sheets so I googled it) the ztx450 has a gain of 100 so I ...

I took a look at that circuit more and it seems that it won't quite do what i want. That circuit needs a 12v input to operate, but the driver for the fidle supplies a path to ground so I'm going to have to change something somwhere. I have rather limited electronics skills but here goes my idea. I ...

I had been thinking more along the lines of 80% throttle with a large hysterisis to keep it open until it drops back to 30% or so, or perhaps basing it on map like it was stock. No sense running the s/c when its not needed, these things arn't exactly long lived. I don't think having the clutch off ...

I think the MSII does have hysterisis on its outputs, but nothing that would work for this. I really need something to do time and the msII only lets me work with the inputs. I looked over msns-e and you're right, it does exactly what I want. But I have the msII already and would like to use it if ...

My clutch switch does have a relay but I'm not sure how thats going to work with out activating the supercharger every time I push the clutch which I don't think I want to happen. Is there any way to perhaps build a timer circut that would hold the supercharger relay open few seconds, either in the ...

MS2 to control 4agze supercharger

I think I've got this halfway figured out but I could use a little help. I'm pulling the turbo etc off from my 4agte mainly because I've misscalculated a few things and I lack the time/fabrication skills/money to get the conversion finished by the time I need it to be. Anyhow I'm putting the ...
