big update !!!!

The oem RPM Cluster is now WORKING !

Video and picture to prove it !

Uprev detect the original 370z ECU but the engine is running on the HR ECU and when flashing the ecu , it only flash only the HR ECU and not the VHR .

The RPM cluster work on the CAN network, the option to make it to work with the HR ecu was not possible because they arent on the same *protocol* .
Just an exemple for those that doesnt understand that term is;
- you remember your old VHS reader ? you could select it to play on channel 3 or 4 ? Well the CAN comunication work similar to this.

I came up with the idea of hooking back the VHR Ecu back for the RPM cluster a week ago while I was sick in bed for a couple days !

Good job!

Nice! So you're running both ECUs? HR ECU for the main engine sensor/control stuff, VHR ECU for the rest of the car to hook up IPDM and BCM and all that jazz?

The only issue I had without the vhr ecu was the rpm cluster not working

After a road test my water temp gauge is not working properly now.(EDIT ; more to follow on this , suspecting air trapped in the system)Other that, all the light I have in the dash is due to not having the abs system, VDC, immobilization system, check engine flicking between the hr & vhr ecu code., everything else was working fine

edit; actualy you need the ABS module to keep the speedometer working , only half of the assembly still remain installed where it was.I havent look if it was possible to do a by-pass , im sure it could work.

Sad Update!

Unfortunatly Megan Ver. 2 is put on hold for 2013.
Due to some personnal issue (losing the wife) and all the payment that needs to be done. I cant afford doing any more mods to Megan.

I received some parts not long ago that still need to be installed once I kick myself in the butt to actualy do it. but this is.
All track day has been canceled
All Time Attack also cancelled

on top of that the 5th gear is grinding so bad !

Sorry to hear of the issues. I know military life is hard on the family... good luck brother!

SS_Firehawk · 06-10-2013, 02:17 PM

GL man, hope things work out for the best.

diddy535 · 06-10-2013, 02:40 PM

That's a bummer, good luck!

Rusty · 06-10-2013, 10:58 PM

Don't know what to say, other than I feel bad for you. Hope everything works out. Keep your chin up.

Megan370z · 06-27-2013, 09:04 PM

Soon to be cut and modified !!! hehe well in a few months

Megan370z · 07-03-2013, 08:26 PM

I know I said the built was on Hold for a while, but I got told that the new cams/piston are now ready, Im gonna have to wait a couple months before I can pull the trigger on this.

This will be a reality without sponsor !

13.8mm / 310deg. intake cams
11.5mm / 300deg. exhaust cams

designed to run up to 8800rpms from what I was told,
I requested 8500 rpm in the beginning.

they also made a piston kit for the HR engine and another piston kit that will work with the VHR crank / HR rods.

Sasha (OnPoint Dyno Originaly Sg-Motorsport.com) with his non-rev engine on the slightly less aggressive cams C10int C9ext made 372whp with ITB and around 350 without it.
we are building a similar engine and that will be very interesting to see who get the most power !
since im going with the long rod setup and his will be just a normal HR engine.

I just found a new product that isn't too expensive which will allow me to run a Twin DBW Throttle body with my next standalone ECU *ViPec V88*
because right now there is pretty much only one standalone that is compatible with more than 1 DBW .
Since my budget cant afford the MOTEC unit. this new product will do just fine !!

Baer383 · 07-14-2013, 10:22 AM

That's Fvckin awsome!!!!!!!!!!
