Tuning MEGASQUIRT on the 280ZX and FIRST DRIVE! (Pt.3)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Now that everything is hooked up to the engine, and all components are secured, I slap a basic tune into the new MS2 ECU, and take the Z for a shakedown on my neighbors private roadway.
One of the most beautiful Nissan’s ever
Beautiful 280zx man. My dad has one and I have two 300zx. Love these cars.
Awesome vid! I'm planning on using a megasquirt on my 1980 ZX and this series really helped me figure out exactly how I wanted to do it.
Your ZX is a fine looking, sounding machine, please keep the video's coming. I'm planing to build a 280ZX Turbo 5 speed MS2 V3.0 in a 79 chassie(like yours). Thank you
Glad the MS is working, should make an excellent daily driver. Keep the videos coming!
Well done man. Respect. Great to see everything come together.
Love these zs🔥🔥
I really miss my 80 280 now!
I have an 80' 280 as well. Love the thing to death
Great S31. I was going to go MS as well until I came across a set of OERs. Keep up the content.
S130
love the zx !
This car is ridiculous amazing!!!! love it!!
Hi kids you are lucky still have this Nissan Datsun 280zx. I have mine before when I was 24 year old in year 1994-1999. My Nissan 280zx fuel injection engine. I still keep the foto of my Nissan Datsun 280zx. Until now on I steal dream about my old Nissan 280zx Red Metallic paint and open foof.
Any plans on forced induction? If not, why waste half the VE/Timing/AFR tables with KPa you'll never see. You could make 110 the top value and have a lot more resolution for tuning. Just a thought. If you are adding boost then never mind me. Love your S130!
Yeah I did end up moving atmospheric pressure up a few lines. and smoothed out the table a bit.
I’ve had a problem with my father in laws 280zx 5 speed he passed down to my lady story is he had his buddy port and polish head in late 80s and when they put it all back together it sputs and backfires worse when the car warms up.... try every once in awhile to figure out what but I’m stumped hate throwing parts at projects but this mega seems Legit
What year?
82 2+2 I’ve done everything I can think of vac leaks timing fuel pressure even messed distributor angle on the bottom don’t know much of these cars I’ve had mainly foxes car sits stock with 76k besides the head job have thought about finding a stockhead and see what happens
Ken Singh ran great when I advanced but once I’m guessing as a warm up Solenoid shuts off it’s sputs back fires up to 4K and clears up some what
Hello,
I recently performed roughly the same thing. I have a 1983 280zx NA that originally had a flat top piston engine in it with a P79 head. I ported the intake runners and exhaust runners (removing the exhaust liners too) also ported the intake manifold and throttle body. It is all back together with a dished pistons bottom end from a 1979 280zx. The engine runs smooth with the oem computer. Not sure what all you have tried with the car, but you might want to try checking to see if the cam timing is off a tooth. (Just a suggestion)
Could you post something on how you hooked your laptop up to the ECU for tuning? That would be good info also. Where do you live, wish you'd do all that to my 83
It's an aftermarket standalone EFI system I had made by Godzilla Raceworks. The stock ECU isn't tuneable unfortunately
Bro what rims are those and what size tires?
nice!! When the Original injection does not work any longer there is a substitute! Thanks!
What reason or necessity of Turbo distributor and shaft? Im about to M/S A 81' 2.8 zx. I want to go turbo. Will it work? & why the distributor? Please explain?
It's because the turbo dizzy utilizes a crank angle sensor and trigger wheel, which is needed for MS to control timing. The shaft has to match to dizzy as well because the socket that the shaft slips into is different.
Hi, just bought a CA 280ZX. Will the mega squirt pass smog if tuned properly?
Yep! It's all in the tuning. As long as all your emission controls are working and installed, Put timing at 9 degrees at 800rpm, 48 at 2400, 13.7-14.1 AFR at idle, 14.6-14.8 at 2400 rpm (No load) and you should be set as long as the tech doesn't sense you have an aftermarket EFI.
Most states don't even require emmisions once you have it done once. You don't have to get it smog inspected every year on cars that are this old, which is very nice.
hey man dont know if you got it anymore dialed in but those tables are a little jumpy highlight the whole table and hit that button that looks like a slash mark its called interpolate it'll smooth it out for you but it will still on be a rough estimate
Interesting, I didn't know that. I ended up mapping each cell one at a time lol. Took roughly 3 weeks and 250mi to dial the whole map in to where it ran great in all driving situations.
nice how much hp
Love the videos! Did you ditch the MAF sensor?
Thanks! No need for the AFM with Megasquirt, as it measures vacuum to account for engine control instead of air flow.
@@HooliganGarage-650 thats so awesome, my connecting boot is trashed had to glue and silicone it together. Good to know I can ditch it once i have MS installed! Right on thanks brother.
@@saulmarmolejo795 I did that as well, but was sick of the look and decided to order an OEM one for $75 off of z car depot... It looks SO MUCH BETTER now
@@datsoon9236 last time I was on z car depot they had ran out! Haha
@@saulmarmolejo795 I really? Maybe I bought the last one! 😂
Looks like they are re-stocked now though:

Do note that the picture is silver, but when I received mine as black. Not a huge issue but if you wanted silver you are out of luck lol
So how much better is the MS vs stock and what was the total cost and what does it control (fuel, time, boost if it were turbo)? I have a few 280ZXs and have thought about the MS, one is going to be a stock turbo conversion.
You basically choose your functions and controls when you build the kit. You can have all the control you want. Fuel, timing, boost control, 2 step, detonation control, idle control, and the list goes on.
I’m new to the channel. What is exactly done to this car performance wise ????
Hello! Aside from the megasquirt setup, ported intake manifold and a test pipe.
How much is the megasquirt
I'm in love!!! lol
Hey man is your car a NA of turbo?
It was N/A in this video, but now Turbo.
I love the content ! I built a zx myself but never really saw any potential in power adders . Might end up just swapping the engine . Not sure if you have an Instagram but if you do and have spare time you are welcome to see the build . My instagram is @kamikazes.gvng
Welded diff ?
Stock R200 open!
What's your wheel setup
Atara Pisang 15x9 -13.
@@HooliganGarage-650 Did you need spacers to make the front wheels fit ?
@@shibohkinobi2137 Nope! they just BARELY clear the strut tubes, and when I mean barely, clip on wheel weights will scrape the tube so I gotta use stick-ons.
Posi ?
Stock R200!
@@HooliganGarage-650I love the work you have done. Keep making more videos for the 280zx. Also I picked up a cherry 81. Check it out in my ghetto videos.
time to put some nitrous on it now
What’s your estimated hp and tq gains on an L28?
My butt dyno tells me around 15 HP, probably the same with torque. I'm sure the power curve has become much more broad as well.
