Hey man love your videos..thank you for taking the time to make them! I got a question for you. I've had a megasquirt kicking around for quite some time now and I really need to get it wired in. If I paid you, would you video chat me and kinda walk me through the process of wiring it in? I know how to wire stuff in. I just don't understand some of it. Some of it straight confuses me lol anyways it's a 98 eclipse 420a . And yes I had the megasquirt specifically made for the 420a and also have a quadspark module that could potentially be wired in aswell . Any help is appreciated thank you!

Hey man I know these videos were from quite a while ago but I'm building a 1998 eclipse gs with the 420a and a megasquirt 3. I got the thing to fire but not idling I was wondering if you still had access to the maps you used to get this car running?

I don’t think I have the tune files anymore but I can check. I do remember when I first set mine up the tune was configured to use one of the IAC valve stepper wires as a tach output and it was making the IAC valve stay closed. If the valve motors are wired backwards if will also cause it to stay closed instead of opening, you may be able to avoid rewiring it by having the values on the IAC warm up taper go in the opposite direction. Are you using the factory narrow band O2 sensor or are you running a widband like an AEM?

Instead of having to buy a new distributor and ecu, couldn’t you theoretically get it tuned? Either professionally or yourself?
@RustBeltGarage1 4 ай бұрын
The pre obd2 ecus are difficult to retune, and finding the tools to do it or someone with the experience to do it is even more difficult. The obd2 trucks are now supported by hp tuners which makes them much more accessible but that only works on the 96+ trucks of course, mine is a 92. A stand-alone ecu is still more capable than the stock ecu though so for me a standalone was the best option but depending on the build a tuned factory ecu might be a better fit.

Back in the day I had a 1994 302W swapped 94 Eddie Bauer Explorer with an Explorer Express Eaton M-90 supercharger kit and it made 456 whp at 16 psi with no cooler or anything. It was also jacked up with a 6" Skyjacker body lift and sat on 33x12.50s and 15" chrome bullethole wheels. I had a buddy who had a 98 Dakota with a 3.9 and a 5 speed manual (NV4500?), we put a junkyard T3 on it and it was SO much faster with bigger injectors, a bigger fuel pump, and very low boost with a Vortech rising rate FPR.

Why did Mopar bother with external voltage regulation?
@RustBeltGarage1 7 ай бұрын
A lot of manufacturers use external regulators but most are mounted directly to the alternators like Volkswagen for example. In the 70s and 80s Chrysler had their voltage regulators mounted on the firewall and they are pretty reliable usually outliving multiple alternators. Where they made a mistake was their decision to move the voltage regulator inside the ecu in the 90s and making it non serviceable. If the regulator goes bad the ecu has to be replaced or an aftermarket regulator has to be wired in. The best part is the regulators in the aftermarket kits are exactly the same as the ones found on the earlier cars just with the addition of a wiring harness lol.

I always buy and still buy the Nitto nt555 tire they're still are available in the 255/55r17 size I've done the nitto 420's but they quit makin the 255/55r17 size but u can get them in 255/50r17 which isn't really noticeable in looks or feel. but I've have had several over the years I come across here in Arizona that are low mileage R/T's that get traded in at a few of my freinds family's dealerships it seems like every few years most are well kept with low mileage and I use my dealer liscense to buy them from them at what they paid for them when they are traded in and alot still drive like a new or like a 2 year old used truck because most were dealer maintained from my freinds dealerships ever since they sold it to them brand new I got my 1st one 2 years after they started makin them even tho my 1st was used but it still had the new truck smell back then and man imagine having something that drove tight with no squeaks and could carve the road like no other truck cuz those tires just gripped the roads here in Arizona it wad really something else and even tho ther used and older now they still perform quite well.. I can say even if u have a prestine one they still drive at best 80%-90% out of the 100% they once did when they were new.. the regular cabs are by far my favorite and you can still get rocker panels to fix urs ther really not that hard todo I helped fix a couple wrecked ones and was alot easier than I thought it'd be
@mikemccabe7124 7 ай бұрын
sorry to write so much but they are by far my most favorite truck to own, well that is in the regular cab configuration they did come with beefier front and rear sway bars along with a high flow muffler that gave it the 5-10 xtra horsepower also came with thicker progressive rate coil springs up front to give it that better handling for carving corners on the highway better.. I've towed with all of my dakotas and they really shine going up the mountains here in Arizona I can pass anyone no matter what I'm towing weight wise, I also install H.D. rear airbags on all my R/T's right when I get them that are rated for 5500lbs the bigger bags let u run lower psi so when empty they don't have a stiffer ride to them plus I add the 5 gallon air tank so the air goes back into the tank on harsh bumps instead of the air being stuck in the bags I can run my air tools like inpact to remove wheeels when i get a flat or just to air up trailer or truck tires when I need to via a quick connect I mount next to the rear liscense plate.. im getting ready to install a ZF 8spd transmission in my current truck here as soon as tranny shop finishes building me a built one for me which I can't wait for

Where are you finding those nitto tires at? When I looked last year I found them at a few places but they were out of stock. The 555 would be a great summer tire for this truck if I get another set of 17s or if I just get a full set of 16s with winter tires for snow season. I definitely benefited with the 235s driving through the snow this winter and surprisingly it still has decent traction from a stop on the narrower tires but mounting them on a 9” wide wheel was a nightmare lol.

@RustBeltGarage1 I get them locally from Tire Pro's it's like discount tire company but totally different owners I know tire rack sells several different styles of nitto's but in 255/50r17 or 260/60r17 but for winter nothing does as well as the nitto 420's do for me in the snow which beleive it or not we just got nailed with a foot of snow this past week ya, I know in Arizona what?? but ya where I live in lakeside we're at 8000ft in elevation even though Arizona is just known for our hot desert in the lower elevations we still have a wild winter but our snow is more a dry light weight fluffy snow which is nothing like your guys heavy wet stuff so it's easier for us to get around on xcept for the black ice thats still the same no matter where you are..lol.. but ya Nitto makes some if you can't find any the 255/50 or 255/60 isn't really much different
