e30 LS

[Nick_08]

Here's my opinion. If your inclined in any way to follow wiring diagrams and make simple alterations to a wiring harness it is so easy to modify a stock harness and pay a $100 to have the stock PCM reflashed. Or you can buy an aftermarket harness for $600-$900. This LS runs amazing with the stock PCM or you can spend hours messing around with Megasquirt and it may never be perfect. Choice was simple for me. And I have experience with Megasquirt...it's what run my old turbo m20.

Fwiw, diyautotune just came out with a plug and play LSx harness for Megasquirt3.

Honestly dont know why you would run MS on an NA LS Though, the stock ecu can be easily re-mapped and even modded to run a MAP sensor for a supercharger

The LS already has a MAP sensor. But it does use a MAF as well. I believe the stock PCM can be tuned to run without the MAF though.

It can. Stock ecu is the way to go for sure.

I'm using an R32 radiator from mishimoto and a mishimoto overflow tank. No expansion tank like the M20 has.

Well, looks like it goes just as fast as your M20 on 18psi, with more low end and not as high-strung. 

I'd call that a win

Yeah it gets to 100mph pretty damn quick. It's super fun and I'm pleased. I'm just learning how to drive it now...it's really crazy shifting from into 2nd gear going 40+

Also for reference. The Dakota Digital SGI-8E will work in the e30 it must be set to 8 cylinder input and 12 cylinder output to e30 tach.
