Installing MS 3.57

Hi!
I'm just finishing my install using a pre-built MS1 3.57. I've followed the MS > L-Jet drawing when building the adaptor for using my existing LJet-harness. I also bought a db37-pigtail to make life easier.
I have two groundcables coming from the db37-pigtail. I just ground them to the Ljet-casing, right? Also I'm supposed to ground Ljet pin28 to the same point?
Am I missing something else or am I good to go?
Also, I would like to run MS-Extra with mapdot to start with. Any special code needed or is it ok with current MS-Extra firmware?
Regards
/Marcus

Hi Marcus, do you have any pics of your MS11 install? I have a MS11 v3 to install in my GTV6 3.0L but dont know where to start so any help would be greatfully accepted.

Paul, It's not that much to see really, but I recommend you to slaughter an ljet-box to build the adaptor and also to get the db37-pigtail. As you can see there's still a few wires to be soldered. Hopefully I will just plug in the MS and start tuning soon
Here goes:

Hi marcus, that was a quick reply, thanks. I have already got a gutted l-jet box ready to go, I just need to do the soldering. I have a schematic from Steve Rosser but I am no electrical wizard, I like to work from photo's as well as drawings. I also have a DB37 pigtail. I would like to make the transition form l-jet to MS11 as easy as possible.

Hi Marcus, you dont have a list of what wire on the DB37 goes to which number on the ljet connector do you?

Hmmm, don't know why uploading the .pdf doesn't work!? Paul, If you want that too I can email it to you.

Hi Marcus, the pdf downloaded ok, many thanks. I must be no good at this stuff,im just as confused as before, maybe I should just send it to you with some cash and get it done by someone who knows what they are doing!!!!
Im sure I'll get to grips with it.
Cheers

I'm sure you'll figure it out. If you check the backside of the ljet-connector you'll notice that every pin is numbered. You don't have to worry about the MS-pins since you have the pigtail with labeled wires, right? If you use the excel-document you'll only have to match for example, the CLT (coolant temp sensor)-pigtailwire to pin13 on the ljet-connector. Solder the most obvious first and check twice that you connect them to the right ljet-pin.

I have looked at the diagramme and found where most of the wires go in relation to the l-jet ecu but I dont know what number the f-idle and spark-A go to.

I'm going for fuel-only to start with before doing ignition. With my MS1 I think it's db37-pin36 that is to be connected directly to the ignition module. Don't know about f-idle.
