MS2 does not utilize all of the stims circuits.


Thanks, Charlie. I've looked everywhere in the MS info and seen no mention of that. As good as the manual is in some areas, it's pitifully lacking and confusing in others. It's frustrating at times, but given the pricing and versatility, I shouldn't complain..... the good thing is that it forces me to learn more as I dig into it. Anyway, it sounds like the ECU is working as it should.

I was concerned that since I mounted the LEDs flush to the stim board, I'd mangle the leads while removing the reversed one, but I salvaged it.

You do not need an rpm value after the rev limit, MS will refer to the closest cell, it does not need a look to cell as with some systems.


The Mitsu OE setup is redlined at 6000 rpms. I don't need to make more, so I'll use 6000 as the last bin and not waste a bin.

Pistons, I would set the compression around 9:1, if you go for 8:1 you will have a gas guzzler.


No problem with 9:1 - 8.9:1 is the OE piston and nothing else is offered except custom cuts. I agree that the ~9:1 is good for 6-8 psi boost pressure, but I was thinking about overhead for down-the-road pressure increase.... not needed, though - 7 psi is a beast in the SWB 3.0L.

The only thing I would want are piston squirters from the turbo block. They would require drilling into the main webs for their install.


Great idea! I won't be towing and the only time sustained boost would be seen would be in mountain driving.... but if I have to pull the engine for a full rebuild, I think that's a worthwhile idea.

Thanks for your suggestions and good advice! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
