Man your channel made me get back in my 92 Build that was literally 90% done. It sat for 7 years. I just got the MegaSquirt and I’m about to get her base tuned. I can’t wait to get back in the Calypso Coupe this summer! Thanks for the straight up no BS info yet again! Your channel is drastically underrated. I tell all my Fox guys about it!

[@kevinw8274]

I also got a calypso they’re fun man

[@stephenroberts7816]

This is the video I have been waiting for. Great stuff man. You just too all the fear away for me. Love this channel! Thanks man!

Happy Valentine's day to you and your family BREW2L

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and yours as well 😎

Love how you make everything so approachable.! Please keep it going.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thanks brother, I appreciate the feedback 👍

[@nimmi2424]

Love this channel. Got back into my 93 fox body after sitting in the garage since 2007

[@markconiglio7769]

Thanks so much. I just ordered one for my 89 lx coupe. My ecu took a dump. Kind of glad because I've always wanted one of these.

[@ChipsAndSparksGarage]

That was a great walk thru on the Megasquirt software. I have the kit to put one together for my 1950 F1 project. It has a 5.0 HO out of a SN95 with Trickflow heads and An old Wieand tunnel ram that I added injectors to. The rest of the motor is basically stock though, so I’m hoping that it should take a tune pretty easily. I just subbed to your channel, as I also have a 89 LX with Vortech V3I Thanks! 👍 Tony B

[@charosenz]

wow. excellent. I am just now considering MS and you helped me understand what its all about. Thanks for making this.

[@cleetusvandame]

Sold my foxbody today but still love watching the channel. Your dedication is outstanding Brew2L.

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thank you 🙏

[@BackyardBMX73]

Great video! Coulda used this tutorial a few years back before I swapped coyote ugly. I got confused easily and decided to swap the car lol.

[@jdrods1519]

Awesome video brother. Thank you for the information on this I’m going to need it in the next week or so!

[@RetroFoxZach]

Very informative! Doing a 5.0 swap in my 2.3 car and am considering getting a Megasquirt instead of using the a9l from the donor.

[@RPJs-Cuisine]

Bro!!!! This is sooooo bad ass!!! Man I love this channel!

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thanks Jody 🙏

[@RPJs-Cuisine]

Naw brother! Thank u!

[@egibson2266]

Man your channel is perfect, I’m working on a very similar engine build at the moment, GT40 upper / lower, heads, TF stage 1 cam etc with a turbo for the future so this has all been great to see you go through this. I have a Haltec computer I bought used and no one around here knows much about them and it cannot tune them so you really got me thinking about going with the full meal deal mega squirt instead... questions though, did you notice any power gains in your n/a engine after adding the computer? Will be following for sure! Thanks for the honest videos and keeping it real.

[@bugsoli]

Thanks for your video! I'll be tackling a MicroSquirt setup this year on my 87, I just need to find out how to wire the 14.7 wideband to simulate the original narrowband sensor... do you have a video on that by any chance? Keep up the good work mate!

[@weeman333briglio2]

Very cool man. Happy holidays to ya.! Thanks for the content!

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Same to you bro! Thanks for your support 💪

[@weeman333briglio2]

BREW2L I hit ya on ig about that ecu too!

[@jasonvitagliano6267]

Great video! Hopefully going to be installing my megasquirt this weekend just need to put on new balancer. Can't read numbers on old one. Excited to be tuning my own foxbody and watching your videos gives me the confidence to do it myself. Although I do plan on getting it to a dyno for numbers and more fine tuning. Are you planning on getting the clone to a dyno at some point?

[@derricke01ify]

I have had my megasquirt in my fox for over 2 years now, and I have learned that with a cam its gonna idle best lean(above 14.7afr) might help out with your surge issue i fought with it for a long time.

[@erikturner5073]

Cool vid. In case you don't know the connector by the distributor your referring to is called the "Spout" (Spark Output) connector.

[@stanleykee]

Very informative

[@cashmoneyv197436ify]

Brew2L did u ever do any tuning on the Yellow Mustang? Doing ur thing great content always!!👍👍👍

[@CUBAN8131]

Hey man thanks for your videos. any info you may have in regards to wiring my Aem Wideband?

[@2152808483]

I didn’t know anybody still used this it was the go to before terminator x came out

[@flyinhigh450]

BREW2L ..I just bought a MegaSquirt 2 for my Turbo 306 and was hoping you can point me to the self tunning program, i'm new to all this so any help would be awesome..Thanks and love the videos..

[@RUNINAGT]

Hmm sounds like you may offer your service soon for someone else's Fox?? I'm one of those that will not attempt this on my own. Been following the videos though, and they are very helpful. Stated before we're going to try the Quarter Horse 1st and see, but ultimately, I think this may be in the future for the ole 88GT T-Top..

[@AlejandroMartinez-pl4np]

Would you recommend a microsquirt for a relatively stock engine? I plan on future upgrades like AFR heads (their new non CnC'd Econoline head) and a streetable cam (B cam? I have an aod)

[@josephsites9118]

What are some good other videos to watch to learn more for tunerstudio on a mspnp2 for a 94. I am trying to make sure I have the right info for my 34# coyote injectors from a f150. Mine is a f cam 331 with skip white heads

[@GearHead704]

Gotta get a new intro brother since I kicked you out of mine LOL, J/K thanks for putting these together as I'm seriously considering this for my SD car. You think the steps would be roughly the same on an SD car?

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Thanks brother! Yes this will apply as well.

[@daltontaylor9829]

Do you have to tune yourself or can you take it to a tuner?

[@robertelmo7736]

Ok, got the MS in and a buddy shot his NA tune in. But he had no AC--how do you do set that up to adjust when you switch the AC on? When I do it it just drops the engine down to 400-500 rpm.

[@cmd2789]

Good stuff, now boost it and build some tables, above 100kpa is a different world

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Oh, you know it’s coming.... lol

[@aaronrogers7178]

Show us how it's done 🙌😁 happy Valentine's day man

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Lol I don’t know about all that.. but we definitely gonna learn together 😂

[@aaronrogers7178]

@@BREW2LFOXBODY that's good man good to know that.

[@DylanWashko]

My idle is all over the place. I keep messing with the fuel table but i cant make much progress.

[@huntera6301]

Just to help you out a software called OBS studio will screen record what is on your computer for a cleaner look. I hope that is helpful

[@smoovefishing]

I think you should set the correct rpm on ideal before changing fuel mixer looked like you was about 300 rpm to high at ideal that’s could be the reason you are not thing if it’s hitting like it should

[@quarterblacktravis]

Does auto tune work with the turbo

[@steamgas100]

will this work on a obd1 system?

[@williamkettrey206]

I know I'm a little late to this party, but, isn't your idle valve supposed to be set to "Normal?" I notice yours is set to "Inverted"

[@colinwatson3654]

Question about the timing so is your timing set at 14 degrees or 20? I’m confused lol ...thinking about buying a mega squirt on my efi 83 Capri

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

The number I used to verify timing is irrelevant, the computer doesn’t use that number after you switch it back to USE TABLE. whatever number you have in your table is what the computer will use for your timing. Mine is currently set to 10 degrees in the timing table at idle.

[@colinwatson3654]

Thank you man for clearing that up! Watching this makes me feel at ease! Appreciate it BREW2L!

[@brssgarage90redmustang68]

Is that 20 degrees of timing your timing at wide open throttle or at idle?

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

That 20 degrees is at idle and it’s only used to verify timing. After you switch back to USE TABLE it totally ignores that setting (number) and goes back to using the numbers you have in your ignition tables. So in other words it’s a useless number that the computer only uses one time for you to verify timing.

[@1981shaw]

I'm thinking about a 331 or 347 with a carburetor for street non daily driver..thoughts?

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

Absolutely! Nothing wrong with a carb setup ✊

[@dngendron]

I have that set up in my 88 BMW 325is. 347, AFR 165 Heads 10 to 1 trickflow stage 2 cam and a Holley 650dp carb edelbrock RPM intake. It rips. But I should have got the 185 heads

[@MartiBrawghghgh]

I need help guys, I bought a 1988 fox 5.0 5 spd that had a microsquirt installed and it would run but run real bad. Vacuum leaks had it running so lean the headers would start glowing after about 1 to 2 minutes with an AFR of about 17-21 along with that I found the distributor was staked one tooth off. Previous owner tuned it with the computer and had it running with some detonation but anyways took care of all the issues, vacuum leaks and distributor taken care of. I was going to take it on a test drive and I had stalled it when going in reverse when I noticed when fully depressing the gas pedal the power lagged and took its time going up the rpms and by that point I said "well then I guess the last piece is the tune!" Downloaded tunerstudio started new project, set everything in the video but just like before as usual I tried starting up the car but this time I had a no spark condition. Using a incondescent test light I found power to the coil pos and neg side but when cranking the negative side was NOT cutting the signal it remained with power (both sides positive and negative). I replaced both the distributor and TFI module and nothing. BUT when I disconnect the spout connector I get spark meaning it's working just off the PIP signal. Exact same thing happens when I disconnect the computer from the harness. Did I miss a step? It was as soon as I clicked "create a new project" I have no spark with the spout connector plugged in! I've been struggling with this problem for months now and it's driving me crazy!

[@grants.9120]

How much does the software upgrade cost to get the auto tune feature?

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

I think it’s 30 bucks or so

[@grants.9120]

Can you help me find a fox im in ohio and all the ones up here are rusted out

[@BREW2LFOXBODY]

I don’t know if any at the moment. Join a few southeast Facebook groups that’s usually where you’ll find the cheaper rust free foxes

[@Jordan-fg7ek]

Im in a bunch on facebook most the nice ones are really far away lol it sucks

[@tunedouttom]

Arizona has some good ones that pop up from time to time.

[@Jordan-fg7ek]

tunedouttom im patiently waiting lol i have a 93 now but its needing alottt more work than im willing to do

[@tunedouttom]

I just loaded a couple vids of mine it was being parted out before I saved it. Took some time...lots of time few bucks here few bucks there and got it rolling down the road. good things come to the ones who are patient and just gotta do a little at a time. The end result is way better when you can say I built that. Not bought that. Unless you got a lot of rust then ya find a good roller.
