This is guide is for reference only.

These step by step instructions are only an overview the process to adding a turbo to your car.
All information used from this guide is for free distribution and user assumes all risks and expenses thereof.

This MSPNP guide was made with the idea that each step could be done separately, Each step can be a one day project while allowing room to use the car as a daily driver.

Put all of this at the top of your buy list, I wouldn’t even start thinking about buying a turbo or blow off valve yet, go right for this big buy straight away. It can be installed on the NA version your car and even help increase NA power and fuel economy. With this as your first buy you can gain some experience using Megasquirt and tuner studio.

Basic setup vs Optional Upgraded setup

This is completely up to you.  With MSPNP2, all you technically need is the unit itself that’s already setup to work on your engine using the distributor ignition.   Yet, the distributor ignition is the most known pitfall on these engines, It will cause you the most problems, random stalls and no starts. There is a way to reduce these problems using HEI ignition igniters and aftermarket coil packs as documented on this website in the how to section, however these parts still have a tendency to fail and your using a mechanical style ignition with parts that wear out over time.

Basic Setup:

To do the basic setup, you simply only need to follow the information provided with your megasquirt unit, leaving the stock ignition system alone.

Upgraded Setup:

The Optional upgrade setup eliminates the stock ignition system for a wasted spark coil pack driven system, this is going to be more reliable and deliver better performance overall. Including quicker start up, and higher spark output. This option allows for a variety of coil pack options such as coil on plug and AEM Smart coils, for this how to I’m only documenting what I have used that is a 6 tower coil pack.

Basic Setup

First we will start off with the basic setup, these things are required. 

Below is a list of items you will need to purchase for the basic setup. The item links are for reference only and not affiliated with King6fab.  Many options are available for things such as the IAT sensor and Wideband sensor.

IAT-

The MSPNP2 allows you to eliminate the VAF from the intake system and will an Intake Air Temp Sensor and Manifold air pressure sensor instead.

Wideband-

It is recommended to utilize a wideband 02 system for accurate tuning. Narrowband could be used, but in the case of forced induction it is basically a requirement.
