I built my harness and it does not get hot I drove it in traffic on woodward for 3 hours today . id say you have a bad box or your harness has a short or is wired wrong. so far I love mine.

Laundry, if you mail me your micro I can set it up for a Lsx and test it for you. Pm me if interested.

When my tunerstudio shows the ecu is live my dashboard gauges work and everything seems fine.. harness doesn't get hot just the ecu.. and it has good grounds and high 12 volts every time.. think I'll take you up on your offer aknovaman.. need to figure it out asap..

most of peoples connectivity issues are because of a USB to com port adapter that is flaky.

I'm using the 9 pin com port cord supplied and tried another that I got with a innovate LC1.. my laptop might not be up too par tho but seems fine..

Do you still need to modify the Ecu to run microsquirt on the 8 coils..you had a picture with jumper wires..

you can buy it done from efisource or look at the how to micro article under denmah's name in all of his posts. it has a pic.

The microsquirt will run all the sensors?? I don't need the gm harness??

I'm interested in buying the EFI Source modified Micro to run spark-only on a carbureted LS1. Does anyone know if this will work alright? I'll only be using the factory crank and cam sensors, as well as a basic MAP sensor... Factory-style LS coils. No TPS, IAT, injectors, etc.

We were running the MSD 6010 box with factory coils, but it's a piece of ****. It can't seem to keep up with the power this engine makes on nitrous.

I think you will need tps and iat at least

That would kind of suck. I actually think there's kits out there to set up TPS on a carburetor, so who knows.

I don't need anything advanced. Just a basic timing curve based off of RPM, nitrous retard, and a 2-step...Both of which I'd like to activate via WOT/push-button switches.

unfortunately the squirt needs a reference signal to go by and ect.

I guess it isn't the end of the world. Holley offers a bolt-on TPS kit for $115...I could use that to activate the nitrous as well and ditch the WOT switch.

I.E. it doesn't let you control dwell....LOL
Been there...


You don't need the tps, or the iat, hooked up for the Microsquirt to control timing, they are used mainly in the fueling calculations, the iat can be used in some of the timing calcs, but you could zero those out in the tables easily.

BUT...

An IAT is pretty easy to hook up, so you may want to use it. And even if you only use the IAT sensor to measure the ambient air temps,changes in timing could help with some extreme hot/cold starting conditions.(street car only problem)

If you go to the extra work to hook up the tps, even just to report WOT(tps hooked to a WOT switch, like some BMWs are from the factory), you could use the squirt to control some of the nitrous stuff.

But for just timing control,and none of the "extras" you don't need tps or iat hooked up.


And just a note, you don't need the cam sensor hooked up either, not with a Microsquirt setup.

you could also use the FIDLE output wire to trigger the nitrous system for you under certain conditions.

i would just inject it at that point then also haha

Boost Solenoid w/ Micro has anybody done it - if so how????

I was looking at this one from DYI and was hoping it only needs a output from the microsquirt.

you can run it off fidle not sure if you still need to wire it this way http://www.msextra.com/doc/ms2extra/...ware.htm#boost or if its different with the 3.5.7 micro

you would have to call EFI source, i think it needs the pwm break out board,

the ms3 can directly drive the solenoid

stacy moore

I called EFI Source and Mike said the Microsquirt V3 that's modified for a LSX motor car run the boost controller off fidle. fidle on one side and 12v on the other.

sweet, i wasnt sure if it could directly drive PWM
