Definitely datalog, it sounds like the MS itself might even be having problems. Some of your symptoms closely resemble when mine was having issues (especially the backfire but not starting)
I'm too tired for a writeup, have this...

Next steps:
Now that she starts my guy has to fabricate a throttle mount (Jenvey makes them, but shipped from the UK = ??? time), source a fuel pressure regulator, some new vacuum hose, fuel line...
Sorry for the instagram link but I can't seem to extract the video

This afternoon, preparing for some fun to be installed.

Toby said he will be sending me updates and pictures as the build progresses, including a first-start video once the ITBs are on (there - I said it directly. The...
She won't be ready for this coming Friday almost guaranteed, but then again this mechanic is probably the most skilled hands to touch the car to date so I can't say for sure haha.
Possibly the...
Guess I'm going to have to take a visit with my tires once the ITBs are on...
Can't wait to see your coverage of your KINOD Visit!!!
It doesn't help that you have never seen me in person with one because of this whole fiasco
So she runs.
Tonight was just preparation for tomorrow, starting with jumping the car to get it running since the battery had sat quite awhile.
Next came draining that half a tank still in her...
I will say good luck, the last one I saw sold went for $300 (not even kidding).

Nothing happening until next week.

That said, seriously brace yourself for the biggest & most important updates to come out of this...
Thanks for checking in.
Unfortunately no, USPS currently owns my megasquirt and mslabs has ghosted me - not that he was any help really to begin with. He was exceptional at taking $1000, his ms...

Except one of my biggest problems is random power loss during cranking, ECU remains powered but something causes everything in the car to shut off. All grounds are almost factory
This sounds very similar to the issues I'm having with my MS3 basic
Como estas! Hopefully your registration wasn't too much of a pain :whistle:
Oh and following up on this. Even with the stock ECU she has a nice lumpy idle without any RPM dips, you can 100% tell she has cams, even with my aggressive exhaust. With the lifters replaced, you...
Just a quick update.
I GOT HER MOVED! She is now residing with me in West Hollywood, LA. I brought her on a uhaul trailer, with 2x4s and 2x6s to hold her low chassis up. It took several people at...
She sounded like a mix between a t-rex and a helicopter combined with a quaif inline shifter whine from the new lifters at idle. I don't have a sound clip unfortunately, there wasn't really much time...
From the internet:
264 Intake
Max Valve Lift - 10.3mm
Valve opens at 2 deg BTDC
Valve closes at 28 deg ABDC
Valve Centerline 105 deg
264 Exhaust
Max Valve Lift - 9.8mm
The mechanic at least told me that without the ECU properly handling it the engine would lean out and cylinder temps would skyrocket possibly leading to damage very quickly if say under WOT.

Really wanted a happy update on the car after tonight, she was running so beautifully and the HKS 264's had given her a new personality - an aggressive one that begged for a night ride.
