FoundSoul Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 The dream thing would be to build a plug and play ECU for our cars, like a MS built in a Volvo ECU.Many people talk about it but no company have done it yet./MikeLet's work through the details, and assuming I can find the connector which is often the hardest part; This may not be a problem....

Swedish Mike Posted August 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Let's work through the details, and assuming I can find the connector which is often the hardest part; This may not be a problem....Not a problem with junk yard contacts, there is tons of N/A ECU´s out there.Our ECU´s are mounted in a box in the engine bay, sticking down in a terminal and locked by a steel brace.Really easy to remove, like 30 sec.Any ECU pics guys?/Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Taylor Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 We can use a coil pack system and ditch the distributor all together correct? That would probably be the route I would rather take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_R Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 No need, ha, Why not??? I would rather have coil packs any day over our sorry distributor cap/coil design. This is huge improverment over stock system for the <98 Volvo's but for you 19T fellas I can understand having it as an option.Raf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoundSoul Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 On the ECU Conectors-- I'd need to find an OEM source as junkyarding connectors is a really rough way to try and run a business and keep the quality ultra-high....On running coil packs... you can do this and the 60-2 wheel will work perfectly with the MS-I/MSnS-E wheel decoder, but it's a step or two up in complexity in building out your system. Very do-able though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 It's an improvement but not really worth the headache at least for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Taylor Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 It's an improvement but not really worth the headache at least for me.I would think it be much more tuner friendly over a distributor. :shrug: It's still somewhat plug n play for the most part just have to do a little more configuring.

On the few MS' I've seen/done they kept the distributor so I take back what I say since I can't really talk from a coilpack standpoint/experience.

Tadek Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 /MikeI know, this is a off topic, but what kind of intercooler / radiator does Rocko use? Does he still have an AC?Cheers,Tadek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there room for this intercooler piping using the original radiator. I think I'll have to have a look in my car. In this case a Cosworth RS500 style intercooler might fit!

Maybe 1 inch or so./Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
