Other than the Mike Bloomberg ad it was a great vid lol.

[@dngendron]

That guys campaign was DOA once he announced.

[@rayrayc540]

Elliott Butts DOOMberg couldn’t even run New York City properly and this POS wants to be president!! What a joke. This jerk-off wants to take our guns meanwhile he has armed security detail plus a carry permit himself!! Fuck Bloomberg he thinks he’s better than all of us and he’s far from it!! #looser

[@AKCIROCZ]

one of my favorite channels.. he honest and does a bunch of shit we all like seeing,,,, and follow to learn...keep up the good work Bro!!!

[@GaryLamb2020]

Thank the loving God you are doing this series! I've been messing around with mega squirting for my fox. Please keep this up!

[@GearHead704]

It doesn't really look too bad. Thanks for the info and review my friend

[@zaneriley316]

As some one who does work on Cummins....this guy helps alot. I do Chevy and diesel work, yet I come to this channel regularly to guide me. Brew2l is truth!

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Appreciate that Zane 😎

[@elcamino74ss]

I've got a microsquirt on my fox and I found it works well just setting up your AFR table then let tunerstudio auto tune the actual fuel map to hit your desired AFR. Get those set and go do some varied driving and it should correct itself quite a bit.

[@buysncharge]

How's the 3 year review on the microsystems install?

[@RangerOutlaw]

Cant wait to get mine!

[@bbq5.0]

Very different video but I enjoyed it. Hope you feel better soon

[@stephenroberts7816]

This is great stuff! I have always wanted to learn how to tune. It's great that there are now products and resources out there to help and teach us! Can'r wait for the next video!

[@aaronrogers7178]

Fire that thing man 🔥

[@cwhall5430]

BRO!!!! IT'S great knowing there is a tunable ECU that works for us ole skool push rodders. Love it, beats our old super chips. Haha #StangBang on em

[@bobfalfa76]

There's also Holley

[@tufgriz8917]

there are lots of options now days for standalone ecus for the foxs

Super sweet!!! Awesome Sauce all damn day! 👍

[@jc-kj2on]

Im getting one, thanks!

[@boosted2813]

I love my Megasquirt!!!! User from the start ms1 sure has came a long way. Best in my book.

[@BackyardBMX73]

Nice job, brother! MS is good stuff man!

[@irshred]

Cool stuff man. Definitely interested in seeing how new module and wideband makes car run

[@stevencastillo8742]

So cool! I’ve been watching you for years. And finally got myself a nice foxbody (88 lx hatch with a 347) picking up a megasquirt today. Can’t wait to have some fun.

[@tobylynn75]

Very Cool. I played with tuning diesels back about 15 years ago and it was very in depth and could easily screw up the engine.

[@gregoryshelton1358]

Today I get my MS3 Pro PNP for my 04 cobra and can’t wait!

[@tunedouttom]

Love the honesty about tuning lol I scored a sct chip from my parts car I may run due to me being cheap/budget right now. Can't wait to see how this micro progresses. Maybe I will get one and try myself...if I blow it up maybe the wife will let me build a 351! Or beat me most likely beat me lol

[@yellowfoxbodyguy]

great informational video.

[@MorbidThrasher666]

Sweet!

[@wesboyd7416]

Looks good! You should be able to select multiple cells and increase or decrease by %. I just got the Holley installed on my fox bit of a learning curve getting into it

[@erikturner5073]

I have some nice EFI hardware but I'm gonna live the carb life a while longer. It's just been too good to me and seeing these vids makes me realize how good I have it. Especially since some guys on KZbin talk about how they have 20 hours or more in tuning. I'll stay tuned!

[@fordtechlife]

Ive been really looking in to these, both systems, megasquirt microsquirt, lol very interesting video thanks I like opinions 🔴🇺🇸🔧👍

[@Diondo26]

MSPnP is a nice tuning toy ..i love mine ..and there is tons of Help out there in the net..it really helps to spend a some $$ more for the Registered version of Tuner Studio (70$ or so) Auto tune and unlimited Data logs will help a lot for tuning

[@robertelee6712]

Why does anyone thumbs down these videos? They are very educational and he is completely honest Brew2L and fox cast media are the best IMO.

[@york5893]

Nice video

[@rodcognito002]

That looks to easy and very interesting.

[@jc-qc3yu]

Hey brother looking good . Now it’s time to put that supercharger on or turbo lol

[@zeeelander]

I hope LMR paid you for this one. 😀

[@MonroeHandyMan]

Yeah right, they probably gave him their bullshit 6% discount. Real cheapskates

[@cmd2789]

Air fuel 13.5 idle 15.0 cruise 12.5 wot n/a At idle play with injectors dead time to get your A/R right, you will be 2 stepping and shooting flames before you know it lol

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

So far so good 👌😎

[@hondatech5000]

About to ms2 and TFI dist on a 5.0 that I’m doing a 750 blow thru e85 no ic... I do aem, hp tuners, I even have an old skool neo afc in my Supra, as well as carbs... Achieve target afr suited for you engine in it operating range, use some method of measuring torque while adjusting the ignition timing continue to add timing while gaining power when you don’t gain any from timing go back and pull a degree. Keep an eye on the afrs while adjusting timing.

[@hondatech5000]

Forgot most important tip for ignition timing go slow big bumps in trouble areas are ok to start with. The closer you get the less you give it at the end you would be adding just 1 maybe 2 degrees at a time

[@nitrouspete0]

Just waiting for mine. UPS tomorrow. Keep it up and will follow your lead on this. Cold up here in Montreal. Can’t wait till the spring to get out and drive. Update: Received mine. Not installed yet, still running with Quarter Horse. What firmware did you load?

[@sijonda]

I'm planning on replacing my head gaskets and swapping over to the 93 cobra heads and intake manifolds I picked up years back. I'm going to try using megasquirt to troubleshoot some tuning issues the stock ECU has. It already throws a check engine light but nobody has been able to figure out why including a Ford dealer. It's been running on the backup internal fuel map which works but it knocks a little unless I'm running 93 octane and it's in the winter.

[@single_cam9199]

This the one I get for a explore 50

[@Bobby4v]

Thats a nice setup! So with the built in map sensor can you eliminate the mass air meter? And its ok to be in the high 14.xx or 15,xx afr range at idle.

[@GaryLamb2020]

Also, if you having came across OGPEDXING go check him out. He has a series on ms. He's running a Miata, but it may help.

[@mgerren88]

you planning on installing the ms3 on your terminator? would make a nice upgrade an great content

[@boatwrightracing5359]

👍!!

[@seastacker8582]

Glad it’s running. Is there some sort of auto tune mode it can go into using the data from the wide band? Seems like that would at least get it into a ball park to start from.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Yes, but the idle is best tuned to your liking for the most part. The base map is usually close enough to get it running.

[@jpp9846]

I'm very interested in this system, I won't have to convert to MAF from SD if I chose this route. It also seems one could tune a H/C/I combo, on a SD Fox using this system. I'm tuning in B, looking forward to results 👍

[@hondatech5000]

You could definitely use this and tune a hci combo that is speed density. I’d like to go on record and say MAF sux from a tuner standpoint, it more an accuracy thing for oems... fox body guys get screwed into thinking they need a MAF because since 88 you couldn’t cam your car if it was SD. Rarely do you see a Stand-alone that someone decided to go MAF over SD.

[@roccosvan]

I'm seriously considering the micro due to a blower and top end install

[@rbjohnson999]

Microsquirt work really well with the eeciv fords, i run one on my 2.3 turbo swapped ranger. Only thing that was needed is high impedance injectors over the factory turbos low

[@jakejake2070]

Was anything done to the megasquirt before starting up the car or was the car able to at least start with no adjustments done to it?

[@streetcarmedia3052]

Hey I’m having a problem getting mine to idle any tips

[@maxxien3]

Hey man!! I just got my mega squirt installed in the car, I have a MacBook and am wondering how you got the tuner studios app setup on your Mac

[@calispony]

Is there a way to hook a lap top to the computer?

[@TheErsatzMode]

I'd like to install a MicroSquirt on my single cylinder motorcycle. There are potential issues regarding the dash, ABS, switches, and so on. I know very little about this subject, so where is the best place(s) to learn how to do this, please?

[@almc-wi5vo]

Can you place the link to Elemar Videos please.

[@shoominati23]

the MS has as many and probably more features. more variability than the big commercial names like Dominator , motec, adaptronic etc

[@brucechamberlain9890]

I think you’d be better off setting your base timing at 10 and letting the computer do the timing you want. That way your injector timing isn’t off from turning the distributor. I don’t think wot power would be much different but you’d be able to fine tune it better.

[@stevep6792]

Does anyone know where to get the silver connector for this MS2 that goes to the AFR gauge & the adapter from the white cable to make it usb to be able to connect it to the laptop & to the MS2 I bought a car with this standalone in the car allready i didn’t buy it new , and it’s barely idling. I can’t find them anywhere, And i can’t get into it with out the adapter and need that wide band silver connector to be able to read afr Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Sorry for the long comment on your page brother just wanted to be clear and figured this would be a good place to ask, maybe you no or one of your subscribers! 🙏🏼 Love your channel man, been following you for a couple years now! Your channel is so underrated and doesn’t get the praise it deserves!! One of my favorite channels forsure!! FOXBODYS VS THE WORLD! 🤘🏻

[@madhattercig]

I have a MSPNP2 on my 93 Cobra. For the life of me it will not communicate to my laptop or phone. It is able to be seen by both but will not communicate. Tuner studios was no help nor me sending it back to be checked. It was sent back to me and still doing the same thing which would tell me the issue is on my end but have no idea where to go with this. Any help would be great!

[@Lukeamyster]

Did you have to pay to register tuner studio? I click on the shortcut after install and it takes me to a web page to pay $59 for registration after I just paid $900 for the damn thing...

[@mylestate6041]

Hey brew.. so I’m sorry if I missed it in the video and you explaining it but will I need to get the wide band 02 and also pay for the tuner studio upgrade to have the mega squirt automatically tune the car while driving? Thanks.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Correct

[@mylestate6041]

Thanks so much. Great video and awesome channel!

[@Funky5.0]

Hey Brother...I know you just installed the Terminator x efi...but can you please tell me if there is anything wrong with the Mega Squirt I'm not building a monster car but I would love to learn how to do a little tuning myself..thanks NYC loves your work..

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Nothing wrong with the megasquirt. It’s just hard getting support as many people switched over to the tx

[@Funky5.0]

@@BREW2LFOXBODY thanks man...support meaning. ..company support or its hard to find tuners who can tune your car with the Mefa Squirt?..I jyst want to be able to have someone tune my car..I know we are limited with these stock computers...thanks again..

[@onthencway9241]

Can you swap the factory ecu with a megasquirt and just plug in and drive? My ecu is burnt out and i can not find a a9l computer for a decent price.

[@stevenmcc2119]

Yes but will need tuned and tweaked but not hard as far as I can read up on and watch

[@onthencway9241]

@@stevenmcc2119 crazy I posted this almost a year ago, I bought the megasquirt pnp2 for my mustang and took it to multiple shops to have it tuned and have been run around spending tons of cash to get it dialed in and still never got it right. I finally got fed up with inconsistent cold starts and swinging idles and pulled the megasquirt out along with the entire engine harness, I purchased a Holley terminator x for my foxbody that came with the full engine harness. Installed all of it my self and tucked the harness to look better than factory. Hit a few buttons on the handheld that it comes with and made some software changes, now this car runs like a top and idles perfect, cold starts perfect. I should have done more research about the Holley before chosing megasquirt. Holley EFI is alot more basic and alot easier to setup as is also self tunes during open and closed loop all the time. On my first start up with the Holley I didn't even have to do anything else other than drive it home and it was already dialed in perfectly. Megasquirt is good but also very complex for a beginner tuner over the Holley.

[@1etergen]

Send that thing! Lol

[@cashmoneyv197436ify]

So the Mega Squirt replaces ur computer what was the price on?? I am far from !!! 👍

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Yes it replaces your stock computer. They are on sale right now for around 800

[@maxxfargo4282]

I Think KEFORD NOVI SUPER

[@RUNINAGT]

Great vid as always. I was on the fence about getting the MS, Kinda confused though. I have talked with 2 different tuners and both stated that they would prefer to tune my Fox with it's stock PCM with my build, which is alum heads, cam, intakes and exhaust. Have a friend that has the quarter horse on his ponies and he tunes himself. So I ordered the chip for $75 and he's gonna tune it to what he can. However, yesterday I took mine out and the T5 decided it was done. Got it home, but now we are going to remove it this weekend to inspect to make sure it's not a clutch fork issue. If it isn't my Mega Squirt money now will be invested into a WC - T5 . What's your thought about what I'm being told by the tuners, by the way, both are well respected in the Mustang community with actual shops?

[@juanf4739]

What’s the price on that set up?

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

On sale right now for 780ish without the wideband
