DIY Autotune are currently offering 18% discount.

I just ordered an MS3 kit with the MS3X board and a loom for less than £300 !!!!!

You will need to "like" their Facebook page to find out the discount code though.

Can't see the discount on their website and I'm afraid I would prefer to pay the normal price than have anything to do with, or share my details with, F**kbook.

Discount is a nice idea but on the premise of being involved with that organisation ???

Not for me I'm afraid.

Rod would be the last person to buy a new MS anyway. He makes his own :)

Anyone not knowing what the MS3X is, and are interested in fuel injection should check it out.

It offers just about any function you could want from an ECU. Fully sequential for upto 8 cylinders, onboard SD card logging, loads of inputs and outputs without additional circuits, traction control, launch control/flat shift, gear dependant boost control, 2 stage progressive nitrous control, and anti lag to make you popular with the neighbours *happy*

Paul, that's supposed to be a secret, you know what trouble you could get me into :)

Anyway, I can't build the CPU, just the board to plug it into, and I could do with ordering a spare MS2 CPU, but I will NOT associate myself with F**kbook :)



But, as Paul has spilt the beans.....



4 channel siamese sequential, up to 6 low z injectors (2 on primary, 4 on staged), coilpack or individual COP ignition and MS3 ready with logic level linked outputs for the low z drivers, LM1815 input, or Jean's new VR board, instead of the usual VR crap and a few other tweaks). And a proper automotive connector :)

BUT, and this is a very big BUT, I've done this for myself - the licencing arrangements for the MS2 CPU don't allow me to produce this and I have to "buy" the V3.0 board as well as the CPU to be legal even if I just bin it. Well I suppose actually I have to slot it in underneath this board with no components just to be "legal".

I am more interested in MS than i have ever been now.

Couple of Q's for the guys in the know:
Does the launch control have to be hard wired in on sensors and whats the relay board all about as its seems a bit of a faf

Neil, simple launch control can be done with juat a switch on the gearknob or somwhere (just a a low rev limiter), and the relay board isnt really needed if you add your own for the fuel pump ect. If your using a loom from an EFI car it will probably have all the relays you need.

I'll let Paul/Sturgeo answer for MS3, but for MS2, you just need a microswitch on the clutch pedal (or a hand operated switch as per Joe above) and a very simple circuit added to the proto area of a standard MS2

Just four parts, seen here on my hybrid board.



Not sure if MS3 already includes this on the MS3-X board, Paul/Sturgeo will have to answer, but you definately have to add them on a standard V3.0 mainboard for MS2 (yet another reason I made my own PCB).

But Launch Control (inc. FlatShift) is very basic compared to full Traction Control.


We haven't yet made full traction control work on MS2 (it works one one old release only) because of other licencing issues - Paul/Sturgeo can answer how far it is developed on MS3 - but it does require wheel speed sensors all around. Preferably all four wheels. And a seperate PCB to convert the wheel inputs to something MS2 recognises.

See here http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.p...tid=344829&fr=0 for how we are tryting to get it working on MS2

Paul/Sturgeo will have to update for MS3

See this is the thing that concerns me about MS if you have the time and the inclanation for a fair bit of mucking about you can get excellent results, if your retarded in the mapping dept like me then i think its better to get an ecu that your local mapper knows inside out as mapping time costs alot.

Any thoughts on err my thoughts lol

older MS is a pain if your not electrically minded, but IMO MS3 should eliminate this,

from the mapping point of view the MS software (tunerstudio) is the easiest Ive seen, also for non siamese stuff you can just click auto tune in tuner studio (ok that feature costs 50 dollars) and it'll tune the fuel map as you drive (and do a pretty good job too)

If you are going for a 7/8 port, any ECU will work and most RRs will be able to deal with it.

If you stick with 5 port, the MS2/3 is the only sensible solution and it is mostly DIY *frown*

Hi Neil, just to confirm, with the ms3x you literally run a wire to a microswitch on the clutch pedal. Depress the clutch, switch grounds the input, launch control enabled.

Edit: no extra soldering or circuitry needed.

Relay boards aren't needed.

The main advantage of the MS3/X to many users is the fact that you can but a standard build MS3 and it will do most things you need for a 5 or 7/8 port.

We are building from a kit, but it is just the standard mainboard build with no extra complicated circuits. I say "we" but reality is that my eye sight can't do it these days and Sturgeo will do all the soldering.

If you like a challenge, enjoy soldering and have a reasonable understanding of circuits, then MS2 may be the way forward.

Well, they only made about 4800 likes. So the discount is 10%.

Still did not stop me from shopping like a school kid in a sweetshop :(
