1967 Beetle - 2276 Turbo
Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 3:32 pm
Hey all,
I have had this car for about 10 years, I started my MS journey years ago with one of the first group buys. It was for a v2.2 board with an MS1 chip. After a friend and I built up our boards it took a few years before I was actually ready to put it in a car. I started with a bone stock 1600 dp motor and sourced all the after market parts I would need to make it all work in my beetle. Luckily I was able to start with some factory fuel injection parts to make the conversion a little easier on me. I started with fuel only. I spent alot of time learning how FI worked and operated. Later I added a wideband 02 sensor to help with tuning. Not long after I installed the wideband I was ready to go with ignition control. I made the necessary mods to control an EDIS module and I was off to learn about that also.
During this time I was planning for a bigger motor and had been collecting parts to go bigger and better.
Which brings us to now, about 4 years later. The car changes on a by weekly basis it seems. I am always experimenting with different setups in the ultimate goal of power and efficiency. I have used thee V2.2, and 3 boards along with MS1standard/extra MS2extra and now I am using the MS3 on a V3 board complete with the expander board. I am still running an EDIS module but this winter after my drag racing season is over I have (4) Ls2 coils to install. At that point I will use launch control and 3 step to help with launches at the track.
My best times to date (8.29.2010) are
ET 1/4 - 11.537
MPH - 116.41
ET 1/8 - 7.136
MPH - 94.21
236Hp 245lb/ft on a slipping clutch
Currently my MS is controlling:
Oil cooler fan, Intercooler pump, Knock retard, Menthol injection and boost control.
Short term plans:
Launch control
Sequential fuel and spark
