Almost 0 settings will port over unfortunately. Remember you are also sequential injection.

And yes I do have many base tunes.

Haha well I retract my previous statement I thought at least the timing/AFR/VE tables might be useful and port over

They will but need to be exported first as the ms3 has larger tables.

no sir i read alot on the on3 kit before i got it. i made my own drain from hydraulic line. i can make it myself and its 3/4 went a little over kill but what ever it works.

i may have to look when i get closer. ive been watching a lot of ms tuning videos. im pretty excited to start playing with it.

Ok cool I was just curious if they changed things with the kit since I bought mine. And I like overkill

I like overkill too. How much did it set you back ? The " us's " that have on3 might be interested in something like that. I used the on3 stuff and it works....but that looks serious.

$0. scrap parts at work. probably 50 dollars i would guess. i welded a -12 in my oil an when i had it out of the car. theres just a 43 -12 hose end on the oil pan side i made a oil drain for the bottom of the turbo out of flat steel and a pipe-jic fitting. then the top side of the hose is a 12 feml to 12 male with a 45 and another 45 -12 jic hose end. i think its like 12" of hose. i mocked everything up before i crimped it and marked the hose with a paint marker. it was kind of a pain but i shouldnt have any problems getting the oil out of the thing or it slipping off a barbed fitting.

Ok fox gurus. The part of the harness that goes to the coil. It has four plugs. One is to the coil. The blue wire with the ilet ... is this supposed to go to the solenoid? The single prong plug is just a ground if I’m not mistaken. And the two prong plugs into another part of the harness.

So I guess I just need to know what the blue wire is for with the ilet

Well.... I got it started. Took me a while to figure out how to connect the mice squirt to my computer. Can some confirm that there is supposed to be a manifold vacuum line on the MS MAP sensor? It says to install in on the paper but I thought it was supposed to be open to atmosphere

Not an expert on this but it would make sense that vacuum pulls the air into the sensor so it could 'read' it? @a91what

That’s what I’m wondering but the old map was open to the atmosphere too

The old map was used as a baro sensor it read the atmospheric pressure. The MS has to have the Map connected to the manifold. In your fuel (ve), afr and ign tables are Kpa that's in kilopascals... less than 100 is vacuum more than 100 is boost. 200 kpa is 15psi boost. Wot na would be 95-100kpa.

You should do some reading in the Digital tuning forum here links are in my signature.

Rodger that. I also noticed when I connected to it it didn’t ask me about my injector size or engine displacement . No big deal tho like I said I have a bunch of them stuff I need to do . Still need to wire up the air fuel to the computer and all that stuff. Some vacuum lines I need to run and what not.

You have to go into the settings and do all of that, if you need help feel free to ask. I am very well versed in this system and even offer a tuning class or services. PM me for details. My advice is always free and I will help anywhere I can, if you begin to struggle with the tuning dont hesitate to ask sometimes it's as simple as 'check this box'.

Nope, the relay+ needs to come off a switched ignition source. The MS always pulls loads like injectors and outputs to ground. Unless the circuit is specifically designed to be 'high' or + with an ECU it is always grounded or 'low'
