The video we needed😂🙌

[@andrewmorgan3847]

This video made me love my carb a little bit more! Seriously tho very good information. I’ve been thinking about going with aftermarket ecu with my stock block car but still undecided on what I really want to do with it

[@FOXBODYCENTRAL]

Great vid brother

[@jorge007bd]

Awesome video thank you helped a lot

[@jonathanmenard1888]

Thank you so much for this video. I just recently installed a v1 setup on a stock 302 and just got my megasquirt operating.. I think I know why now that the car is pinging as soon as I got boost from what toy showed on the fuel table and also I know my timing wasn’t set correctly now I can’t wait to mess with it tomorrow and hopefully get somewhere. Always enjoy watching your videos and I love the calypso clone very inspiring!

Man I would really like to see a tune from scratch. About to install a megasquirt in my 87 and a bit intimidated about it. Very modified 363 with a Vortech V3 and definitely appreciate watching your videos on starting a base tune (also enjoy all the other content of your channel 👍)

I’m sure this video will help me get the Stinger Performance ECU running, thank you.

[@aaronvizcaino9207]

This is the best video I seen in KZbin regarding tunerstudio congrats man and thank you

I agree, I learned more just now than reading the manual multiple times.

[@robertelmo7736]

Who the heck disliked this. Soon as I get the 393 going the next step is one of these. Have a buddy that has used one for years so the base stuff will already be in!

[@robertelmo7736]

Ordered this weekend from LMR...thanks for the 7% was about $80 in my pocket...got the wideband too although the "kit" was not available. Motor is almost done will be reinstalling this troublesome stroker here in the next couple weeks.

[@sboyle8850]

Looks like good info. I've been considering one of these in the future.

[@stevemags4966]

These are incredibly helpful. I absolutely would like to see more of this. I just got my Fox running under the Stinger PimpXS system. So anything you post about Tunerstudios is super helpful. Thanks for a great channel!

[@woundedfox5109]

Enjoyed....keep up the good content.

[@ericflower9855]

I love my MS3X..Its a bad ass ecm....for me it's pride saying I built it and it has everything that the more expensive ECM have...My 86 fox is LS swapped but before I did we played with it and tried different chips like diablo ...what kind of experience with chips do you have? could make a good video...lol

[@bootyman234]

Sir, you are an absolute God send. I know that many people opt for the Holly ECU over the micro because of the tuning steps needed to set it up. It is great that you have given us your valuable time to show us how to access the features. Count me as another subscriber for having done that. Great job

[@George-zq2sk]

this is amazing content! would love to see you do a tune on a car :)

[@johnthomas5232]

Just installed one myself. Great info thanks.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thanks bud 👍

[@stephenroberts7816]

This information is gold! I'm so interested in all of it! You sir are awesome for sharing. I'm down for any other videos on this topic.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

[@johnford5846]

Seriously brother,you are one of the smartest dude’s I ever listened too👍

[@ralphpineo9584]

Bought a megasquirt after watching your videos so yes my bank account is lighter because of you lol. It was a bit tricky but thanks to your videos it’s coming along nicely. N/A 331...

[@chriswalsh7582]

Just ordered mine. Thanks so much for these videos. It really helps.

[@robertelmo7736]

Best price?

[@NoFox_Given]

Was really interesting seeing what you have your IAC set at... mine is at 99 hertz in tuner studio it says the ford valve Operates at 50-100 hertz.

[@oddfoxchassis786]

[@randalljames1]

stablize ? lol Thanks for the headstart !

[@bradvaughan3658]

Good information and you did a good job of making it understandable.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thanks, I tried my best... 🤔👍

[@skarrphace1]

Hey Bro loved the video. Would you mind posting a cam tune and AFR tune for after market heads?

[@Stang-wq9bv]

Great video! I've got mine installed and finally got it to hook to my laptop. That was about it, lol. I don't learn by reading unfortunately. I can't go from book to product. I can learn from watching though. At least now I might be able to do a little bit with it. Would love to see it from scratch on an NA car.

[@Stang-wq9bv]

Never mind. Now it won't even idle. Lmao!!! I've got 24# injectors and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator coming. Hopefully that'll help. Cause its starvin' for fuel.

[@John-fq2hp]

This has been the best video on actually using tuner studios I have found that was easy to follow along to! I recently purchased a 351W based turbo car with the megasquirt pnp2 ECU and this video is going to help me out a lot! I would be interested in a video on data logging and tuning in that aspect! Awesome video keep it up!

[@NoFox_Given]

Might have missed it.... but didn’t see it mentioned when using Autotune it is a good idea to turn the EGO correction percentage to “0” while auto tuning.

[@LifeofMarcosR]

It is truly an awesome video. I have already went through the setup and this was very informative to go back and check things that I missed like the iac and double check that the afr read the same from gauge to gauge

[@Nike2141]

Quick question. I just pulled the trigger on the MegaSquirt kit with the AFR gauge. Your videos have been amazing for the info. Do I use this with the MSD box or is the box moot with this system in place?

[@plasma081]

10:32 Show us the stequiometric relation of air gas isn't it right....? Air fuel ratio.... Really interesting....!! Well done.....!!

[@BetterToBeBlown]

oh yeah I am also gonna back up that 16 lbs. of boost with 100 shot ZEX dry kit . I would have never believed it but my cousin has the same set up as me pretty much same boost , same times also stock bottom and he used this kit for over 100 passes till the oil pump broke car went from 10.80's to 9.80's bad ass. incase your interested in the kit which ties into the fuel regulator to enrich when it sprays awesome its the ZEX 82015

[@irshred]

Awesome info! Really thinking of going this way for my fox.

[@406_chevelle8]

I'm having trouble with rotor phasing. Just a basic small block chevy setup with msd digital 6, blaster coil, and msd two wire 85551 dizzy. I put the motor at 12 btdc, line the pickup with the reluctor, and point the rotor at number 1 terminal. Basic trigger angle is 12. Fixed timing is 20, I look at the balancer and adjust the dizzy accordingly to match. Question one...if it's fixed timing why does it advance when you hold rpms. When I put the timing light at the modified cap to see the rotor it advances so hard it's trying to fire the previous cylinder. If i phase the rotor to have a better sweep across number 1 I get sync loss

[@criminal1453js]

Awesome video man. Just installed pnp2. Big help. Thanks.

[@TheCatOfAges]

i have a 5 speed swapped 1992 crown vic. im curious if the eec-iv adapter will work on this aswell, the pinout is the same. not sure if youre still reading comments but id love to hear your input. im PI swapping the 4.6 for more power and was curious what i should do for tuning. i know i need a wideband o2 and the eec-iv kit, aswell as the software on my pc. im a carbie guy usually so this is my first efi build.

[@mysticfox9469]

Base tune please. 🍻

[@stevenmcc2119]

Is speed density the hose that runs from ecu to a vac line on the splitter or the intake ? I have pimpxs and mine has. A vac line from ecu to the back of the intake and also the previous owner was an idiot and didn’t get any. AFR gauges 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@SlayerStang69]

Thanks for this video. I should be using this info on my project in the next couple weeks. I would definitely like to see more of this content. The more info I can get, the better off I will be. And what better place to get it from then your channel.

[@ToddDunning]

Outstanding job, thank you for this

[@bugsoli]

Thanks for the video bro! Now I am less afraid of TunerStudio 😅 I would love to see a full tune of a MicroSquirt car, along with wideband install and tune with TS if possible, but I may be dreaming 😁 Thanks for your awesome videos and keep up the good work ✌🏼

[@jasonestes8954]

What version of TunerStudio are you using? I have the registered version of 3.1.05 (MS) and I do not have the same options you have in the toolbar. All I have across the top is Fuel Set-Up, Other Fuel Set-up, Ignition Set-up, Basic Tables, Other Tables, Tuning, Cylinder Trims, X-Tau Tuning and Other Tuning. I can't even find Basic/Load Settings anywhere.

[@kf4mms]

I've tuned with SCT, QuarterHorse, Tuner Pro RT and Holley Sniper but this is the best I've ever heard tuning explained. Great job !!

[@natek4139]

Very informative great video honestly you could have had this video 10 minutes longer so you could say everything you wanted to and go a bit more in depth on how each thing affects the other. Either way I am familiar with Cobb access turner and this helps me made a very easy transition

[@NoFox_Given]

I also noticed your Tuner Studio format looks a lot different than mine.... mine has more tabs and some of the stuff is laid out differently. What version are you using?

[@angry408w7]

you gotta a lot of patience to learn this thing.

[@rorylipsett4479]

This was great. Did you ever do a full tune video or a video where you got into adjusting timing for boost I.e. retarding timing 1-1.5 degrees of timing for every lb of boost?

[@brocksaus9057]

So...say I get done with my engine swap, add a supercharger, and install my mega squirt. I do all that and get my idle set but can't seem to fully dial in my car's full potential. With having a megasquirt ecm, would i still have the option to take the car to the dyno or a dedicated tuner and they could utilize megasquirt to put their own tune on it as if it were a stock ecm and everything or would I be stuck with just using tuner studio and figuring it out myself?

[@jakobcampbell4803]

Yes I really like these videos! I would love to see more. In the process of doing an on 3 setup and doing microsquirt. Would love to see more tuning as I am new to! So in order to use auto tune I will have to set up my afr table correct?

[@davidwash2551]

Will microsquirt control idle air valve

[@jdrods1519]

Thanks for the info brother! 💪🏼

[@monkeysuncle21]

What ego setting do I use if I have a stock foxbody o2 sensor?

[@LifeofMarcosR]

Hello, have you been able to eliminate the surge and could you help me with mine? I seemed to have the most luck by lowering the closed loop to come in sooner and then it idles great.

[@1320horse]

Man this sure helped me understand how to get started! Awesome video thank you!

[@michaelkrebs1118]

BREW2L, when i was using auto tune, on decel the numbers went from the 50s to the 20s and then the car would stall out, any ideas what might be happening.

Very very helpful thank you would like to see more

[@GoatRopeGarage]

I am building a 393w single turbo and using the mega squirt pnp2 but I can not get it to start without full throttle and will not idle. Getting very irritated with my mega squirt

How much does the software cost for the upgrade?

[@joshuabeanblossom8371]

Whata the advantage of getting a megasquirt over a microsquirt?

[@ThisMightGetLoud.]

So helpful. Thanks!

[@BetterToBeBlown]

What's up , I have a supercharged for which has a stock ECU with a tuned Chip in it , been that way for at least 6 years Makes between 15-16 lbs of boost at 5750 RPM About 460rwhp with 442rwtq , Car runs roughly 10.80's 10.90.s @ 125-126- MPH. Not right now but I the near future I am going to get the Mega Squirt as I like what I see so far. up till now I've been scared to mess with it and left it to the pros. But im no dummy like you ive built my whole car. Two Questions Mega or Micro what's the difference and why. Also if my car is a Mass Air car and works well with the 90 mm Mass air and 70mm throttle body should I disconnect and make it speed density with the Mega Squirt and once again Why. Thanks . Would also love to see a video with some advanced boost tuning. the guy that tuned my car set it up aggressive but safe if I go over 5850 RPM's the car adds 10% more fuel and Pulls out 3* of timing to help keep her safe. Keep doing your thing brother . Awesome Wish I lived closer would love to hang . Thanks again Jimmy oh yeah I forgot to add this car has a completely stock rotating assembly with 106,000 on it with all the goodies still running strong goes to shoe you its all in the tune . Also if you want stock bottom to stay alive make all your power below 6000. LOL

[@stevenmcc2119]

Will this include the pimpxs system?

[@ronniepickens2940]

I know it's an old video , but maybe you can help me , for the life of me I Can Not get rid of a surge and idle pulsating up and down my sn95 5.0l , weird thing is , is that at cold start , start up or even when it's warmer up , the timing will go from 20 degrees to 4' or 5 degrees as it's idling up and down , new dist ,new cam ,new timing chain everything is brand new , even at start up it will start and then die , I have to keep it throttle up for a few seconds and then it goes into the bas surge and after about 2 minutes or so it will kind of smoothen itself out , any ideas or suggestions from you or anyone on here will be much appreciated and I will definitely try it , I've been dealing with this issue for over a yr now , im about done with it and about to trash this microsquirt

[@charosenz]

THANK YOU for making an excellent vid for us newbies. Everyone has to start somewhere and too many vids are geared towards the advance stuff. (sometimes hard to see the arrow on your screen, it would help if you could say something like "up at the top right of the screeen" when you are jumping around.

Does the Micro Squirt eliminate the mass air sensor?

Yes, or it can be tuned with mass air. It’s up to you.

did the 440hz help with the whine at the throttlebody? If you also use the Megalog viewer there is also a tune analyzer the can auto tune a datalog and suggest changes

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

It didn’t help with the whistle.. 🙁 I will cover the mega log viewer in a upcoming video. That’s a really nice addition for sure.

[@tufgriz8917]

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

I think it’s just the amount of air that moves through the bypass holes in the IAC.. causes a whistle. Maybe chamfering the holes would help. Sorry on the Instagram thing.. it’s just a little overwhelming for me sometimes.

[@tufgriz8917]

@@BREW2LFOXBODY its odd i can run anywhere between 62 and 124hz with no real noticable difference in the way the car responds

So..does this replace the computer and comes with it's own computer? I'll look into later..but just clicked in the video

It does replace the stock ECU but you will need a laptop and the software to tune it. You will also need a cable to connect directly to it or to buy the bluetooth adapter that lets you connect wirelessly
