DIYAutoTune's MegaSquirt 3-Pro 240SX Sets New Records Over 210 MPH

DIYAutoTune, an industry leader in feature-rich plug-n-play and professional engine management systems, announced that their no. 787 MS3-Pro 240SX has set a new record in the E Motor Blown Gas Altered class at the ECTA sanctioned Ohio Mile/ Hot Rod Top Speed Challenge in Wilmington recently.  

The 210.97 mph new record was the pinnacle of the team's achievement and a personal best for CEO/ Driver Jerry Hoffmann. The new record came on the tail of surpassing several previous records set by Hoffmann last year in the F motor Blown Gas Coupe class for which the 240SX was purpose-built.  

This year, DIYAutoTune added a new 79mm turbocharger, courtesy of Turbonetics, coupled with a new patent pending Spool Assist technology to unleash several hundred additional ft. lbs. of torque on the low end where it was lacking at launch.

The DIYAutoTune MS3-Pro Team concluded the weekend with two new records (total: nine) and a new personal top speed for CEO/ Driver Jerry Hoffmann. Here are the official race results:

Class         Displacement (L)      New Record / Previous (mph)
F/BGC         2.016-3.014              210.57 / 202.24
E/BGALT      3.015-4.276              210.97 / Open
