Decisions decisions

I've had an MS kit sat in the study since building it up and testing it last summer, I haven't fitted it and to be honest it's because of these reasons :

I don't understand how to tune the ignition

I don't like the idea of losing the ICV with the MS1 setup I have

My circumstances have changed regarding the use of the car, it was a plaything but is now more of a family car and daily driver so I need reliability over outright perfomance.

I'm considering selling the MS unit along with the wiring loom/software/cable/stim board and the Innovate LC-1 wideband o2 controller then buying a Miller MAF conversion.

The car definately needs tuning up, fuelling is a bit iffy with it running rich at low loads and lean at the top end. I suppose a live remap would be best but I'd still have the archaic AFM restriction and I can't afford to get a Miller MAF and a live remap.

What would you guys do ?

Go MS.

Everythings there already.

Tried and tested.

Iain, you can upgrade the DIY MS to the spec I use , PWM idle valve is catered for, as is wasted spark if you wanted to go that route ?

worth the effort dude

Matt G achieved 12% torque gain and 8% HP gain right through the rpm range on his stock N/A B25 touring.

I personally wouldn't mess with it.
My Touring gets used by the missus everyday and runs brilliantly,I wouldn't then change something hoping to increase the performance,you know the old saying " If ain't broke .......etc"

Looks like my mind has been made up for me, Miller can't do a chip for my engine spec so squirt it is.

Ant, can you let me know what I need to do to get the PWM idle control on my setup please mate ?. I have the V3 board with MSnS+e (sp?)

Also what's the settings regarding the odd position of the 60-2 VR wheel at TDC ?

Iain,

I can help with a old MSQ file thats ready to rock, but I'd wait and see what Ants gonna do first as he has a fair few more than me

I'm hardcore so no idle control for me but I have heard it works really well and with the stock ICV.

If I can help at all please let me know!!

Thanks, Mark.
