Close to ordering my MS kit need some advice
Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2007 10:20 am
Been reading as much as I can and am getting close to ordering my MS kit to put in my stock Verde 3.0L from DIYAutoTune and just wanted to get a couple opinions.
I'm planning on ordering:
MS-II v3.0 kit
Stimulator v2.2 kit
LC-1 wideband controller with sensor
Rather than pulling an air temp sensor out of a good Milano AFM I was thinking about ordering the GM Closed Elelement CLT/IAT sensor with Pigtail along with the bung. Does this make sense? I assume this will work fine and will make that component easier to replace in the future if needed...
Also I'm planning on going with a Bosch 0 280 122 001 TPS out of a Volvo 850/Saab 900 etc. It sounded like a good idea for 255 discrete inputs rather than just the idle, on, full throttle that ours has. Are there really noticeable benefits to doing this or is it just adding complexity to my project?
Murray, I noticed in one post you said "I've just built a second MSII (winter is long in Canada Evil or Very Mad ) and it's 100% built per the standard MSII instructions." (http://www.alfagtv6.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=2129). Does this mean that none of the mods noted in Steve's build notes are needed anymore, just the stock MS instructions?
Another question I have is that I see you can remove the cold start injector when using MS. Is this because MS controls the injector enrichment better than the Bosch ECU during cold start so it is no longer needed? I think I know the answer but just checking .
My last question (for now) is on removing the AFM. What allows you to do this? The more discrete TPS? If you stick with the stock TPS then you cannot do this right? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance!
Kevin
