interested to hear your MS build/tune expereince. can you post exactly what you bought for the MS

 

i bought the mega squirt 3 (unassembled) and the cords for hooking to the computer

for the racepak i needed the interferance cable to work with mega squirt

 

Wow that vid is sick! Congrats on the build Travis, hopefully I can make it out to some cars n coffee meets to check it out.

 

iv been wanting to get it out to one of the meets, but i have been so busy that i only had the chance to drive the car once so far lol...im thinking ill get some time to play next week!

 

welp....just got bad news on the Racepak...looks like racepak hasnt made a cord that is compatable with Megasquirt 3 yet...they have it listed in the catalog...but dont actually have it yet....soooooo looks like i may be returning the racepak

 

did you get v3 or 3.57.

with the assembled one being only 640$ thats a hell of a deal for a motor swap/ custom wire.

 

Any specific reason why you went with the Mega Squirt instead of another stand alone? Back from vacation now, can't wait to start my build.

 

^they are cheap and do everything that a 2000$ AEM does.

 

Gotcha. Thanks

 

Update?

P.S. I will be starting my own build this week, but I'm using a different trany "guess which one" .

 

You too

 

Well guys, got the car back and boy am I disappointed...I tried to work everything out with Tony from Shifted but he won’t help me out so hear I am telling you guys that if you do end up buying from them, WATCH YOURSELF! I have dropped my sponsorship and will no longer be affiliated with Shifted Performance.

I will be following this up with a detailed thread of my full experience with Shifted either tonight or tomorrow (it’s a lot of information to gather and put together)...I’m sorry to those who have followed this build and may have already contacted Tony about their builds or have bought anything from him in advance. My whole build seemed to be perfect until I picked the car up and found that it had been practically destroyed...body damage, faulty parts, cheaply done fabricating, complete disregard to any sort of functionality and much much more...

In the end, I now have a motor sitting in my car crooked, doors that won’t open from the inside, gauges that blind you at night (when they work), turbo rubbing a hole in my brake lines, coolant lines improperly ran to turbo, A&N fittings cross threaded and JB welded into the valve cover, exhaust leaks, and to top all that off it now has rod knock.... there is much more to list in my "experience with Shifted" thread...this will get interesting, I can promise that.

 

If I were you, I would ship it up to Sound Performance in Illinois. They are experts on the 2JZ and the Z. As well as taking other shops short comings, and making them perfect.

 

oh man, sorry to hear that. It seemed to have gone well. I thought you did check the car out in person often?
How much have you spent?

 

Wow man sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will all work out in the end.

 

i didnt go check it out in person because i was so busy with school and work, i had way too much trust in him i guess...but upon pickup, it was a mess to say the least...

i will have a full write up soon to show pictures of all the problems

 

small claim court may be an option too getting ur money back.

 

i thought about this, but im the contract, it says "car is taken as-is upon pickup and shifted is not responsible.."

im going to speak to my attorney about it tho...

 

wow that ****ing sucks, all this time you waited to just get screwed

 

Dude. So sorry to hear that.. There has to be something that can be done.. I just had a similar experience with a shop last night myself.. It truly sucks.. Let us know what happens.. I will fly out there and set him striaght if you need the back up.
