    I like how this video magically showed up on my video feed after the weekend I just installed mine. I didnt know this video existed but i didnt even think about searching for it either🙄 I made a lot of mistakes of taking out things that I shouldn't have. 😪

      We’ve been working on it over the last 3-4 months and it was finally ready! It was much more of an undertaking than we initially thought, but it should all be downhill from here 😎

      @@GodzillaRaceworks I mean I've been working on mine for a long time, but it took me a couple days to get stuff taken out and put this in. But I accidentally snipped out my fusible links and all the wires that are on the passenger side next to the battery 🤦‍♂️ for some reason I was under the impression megasquirt was replacing ALL the wires in the engine bay. And I took all those out before reading any directions or looking at videos. Sooo..yeah this Saturday is going to consist of many hours of trying to rewire all those wires back in...hate my life.

    So for the AEM gauge it has the positive White output wire and a negative Brown output wire. Which one do I use to plug into the wideband wire on the harness? And what do I do with the other one?

      We're hoping within the next few weeks, ideally we only have to make the video once haha, so it takes a little bit to proof everything and make sure we didn't leave anything out.

    @GodzillaRaceworks - is it a requirement to make sure timing is set to TDC before setting up the ecu with the information provided in the instructions for the base tune? According 280zx manual, timing is supposed to be somewhere around 20° BTDC +/- 3°. or does this not matter because it will be controlled by the ecu and i can just change it through the tunerstudio?

    @Godzillaraceworks. I have the megasquirt harness all setup now, but im questioning the temp gauge plug mentioned at 1:40 min in. I have a 1982 280zx turbo. What wire or plug is this supposed to match up to? I have spent hours looking at wir8ng diagrams and cannot figure out where this is supposed to go

      Are you talking about the blue bullet connector? Or the 6-pin rectangular connector?

    • @jamiewalker9058

      The rectangular connector at 2:07. Its the plug that runs towards the fusible link box
