My DIYPNP install! Options

[lagos]

I finally found some time to assemble my DIYPNP kit today. :thumbup
The assembly process wasn't too bad. Everything was clearly labeled and the instructions were easy to follow. But if youre reading this and you bought an MSPNP, consider yourself lucky as soldering lots of very tiny components too up most of the day (and I'm still not done!).

I started out with this:


And after a few hours here is where I'm at!



This is the kit I'm using.

Along with the sequential injection mod.

i havent seen any threads in regards to tuning, since it can all be done DIY, it would be good when you guys can to share some information about your tuning,

eg,

software - tunerstudio?
additional sensors - eg bosch wideband
tips for afr target auto tune - partial load? full load? how much boost to run?
listening for knock and setting ignition timing
setting fuel/ign trims


is this something we should even be getting into without some sort of tuning school?

Yes Tunerstudio is what you will use.
You also need a wideband. Not just the sensor something that comes with a controller/gauge like innovative, aem, etc...

Look through the documentation on www.diyautotune.com . They have a lot of tuning tips.
Since they have an MSPNP for our engine now, you will get a good basemap to work with and only have to make some small adjustments. You can tune the a/f ratio yourself on the street but ignition timing really has to be done on a load based dyno (not dynojet).

Knock detection is one area where the different versions of MS differ greatly. The DIYPNP has very basic knock detection, the MSPNP offers something thats middle of the road, while MS3 has VERY good knock detection. This is an area you will want to research to decide what you want to do. Personally I decided to go with an J&S Knock Guard for knock detection. This will offer great detection and allow me to maybe even street tune some of my ignition timing.

All the other settings for crank angle, temperature sensors,etc... all come on the base map included!
