cipan, too bad i'm 4 - 5 hours away from u, in ur PM that u sent me, i assume i gotta buy those additional items ya?

ivan,

i'm in penang, the delivery that comes in will be frm penang port or KLIA?

KLIA customs office near air asia new airport.
either ask your friend to collect, or just pay the tax. but if not mistaken, last time then charge me 20%. but i refuse to pay then...

another way is, try to find some one to apply dealership for malaysia/south east asia. just need to bring in PCB board, casing, CPU (maybe can find here), map sensor and so on. (not sure what can find in malaysia)

if you worry about tax, you can just buy the partial kit and casing. then source the rest in malaysia. http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/pkit-megasquirti-pcbv30-partial-p-92.html
i don't know it will end up paying more or less.

or, if you have a friend in usa, ask him to buy and send to you. and send it as gift, lower the value, let say $50 or less. if not mistaken, under RM200 is tax free.

about the sensor and other hardware, you can easily find in kedai potong. you can choose any coolant, air temp sensor and injector as long it fit in you engine. or use back OEM.

The items I listed you are needed for your ease of assembly and suited for your application. You can use some of your oem sensors but that doesn't cost much to saved since the sensors recomended by MS are hassle free. Me too is using MS recomended sensors. That is something I owe you an explaination of 'why I don't use oem sensors'. You can ask me when we meet. The intake air temp sensor I quote you are specially chosen to work with turbo engines. The IAT sensors found at kedai potong as those fitted to the proton 1.5 are not suitable for turbo application.

There are some additional parts that you have to buy here in Malaysia and I know that it's readily available and the MS supplier don't list it either with their items for sale. That will be an extra around RM50.

When your package arrives, should it be detained by the Customs, Pos Malaysia will notify you of the detention. You can choose to declare to the custom yourself or you can appoint POS Malaysia to declare on your behalf. Of couse there are some fees and duties to pay. You can also intruct POS Malaysia to send it over to your designated adress after clearings, even have it posted to me here in KL.

There are some comment that says that parts to built MS are available in KL. If it's easily available, I would not have to order it from US. Partial kit with PCB, CPU and pressure sensor is enough while other components are fetch here. But that is not true. It may take another 5 year to have your project complete if you try to seek around here. In the end you have to make another parts order which ended up in more expenses.

Whatever it is, it's your money and you are the one that have the right to manage it.

ivan78:
FYI, I already apply for MS dealership and yet to receives approval. One more thing to remember, just like the case of kennethfong, most of us try to dodge around the customs tax.
have a look here:

just calculate how much he have to sell those MS's in UK after paying the tax.

I have my own reason for not using the oem sensors and it's not much to add either.

went pasar road today, seaching for MS1 cpu mc68hc and ignition driver vb921. spend more then an hours, non of them have it. better buy full kit, less hassle. or order from www.digikey.com singapore.

 

[cipan_supercas]

not a problem. how much you charge me? post to you or meet up? i'm from selangor, able to meet at subang/sunway area.

Not nice to negotiate openly here about pricing i think... we can meet up. Your location is not far from me, just give a call and if we're both free, we can meet up and have some coffee and roti canai... but not until I'm back from Macau for the world touring car championship and hope so before i'm off for Perth and Melbourne the next month. If I'm not mistaken, I've already pm you my no.
