I had to use BR10ES plugs gapped to .018 with an arc2. I would get about 10 clean pulls out of them until there was some break up, then I had to pull all 4 plugs. I'd have a shoebox full of them after a year.Being stuck with a setup where we can't have a huge plug gap sucks so bad.
If anyone should ever have a Cyclone IM, it's you. Ideal for your setup and it would be set up properly with experimentation until optimal result. Sounds fun actually and I would love to see that happen. It also looks OEM for visuals/inspections and goes along with everything else in your...
Throwing more aftermarket parts at it will make it worse. Then you do more trying to fix it, then more, then you part out or give up. I've seen this movie 1000 times, I know exactly how it ends. Putting those 650s in I promise will be the final dagger for you.Put a 1g MAF in the car. The...
Your SD table is a disaster. Start completely over. Meaning put in a 'stock' table and don't edit it. If you have to add that much airflow, your fuel settings are wrong. You're using airflow settings on the table as fuel settings. Don't do that. I assure you, with your mods, the stock...
That is a BM (I think) top hat on a stock regulator. It's easily 20-25 years old. It can only raise fuel pressure above stock, never lower, which was the whole idea of us using an aftermarket regulator. I bought one at the shootout 5 years ago for 20 bucks for kicks, never used it though.
That wouldn't work very well with our -AN fittings to an unsealed catch can. DSMrs are so smart and frugal, then you see that trend. A waste of hundreds and worse than the stock system. And dare I say rice. Never understood it.
I haven't tested either way so I do not know. They might get you the general shape. Maybe a shape between stock and the one provided is better. No idea. All said and done though the numbers simply won't be correct. Keep in mind deadtime is largely influenced by voltage and base fuel...
Deadtime is an arbitrary value based on many variables. It would be near impossible for any dealer to say here's the values, drive off.If they gave values based on a DSM ECU driver, and said here's the other variables, and this is just a guide, cool. But to give specific numbers that are...
They sell injectors specific to DSMs, then include a deadtime chart of values obtained using a driver that is not found in a DSM ECU, misleading and confusing customers.
Just a week ago I was looking through his website on archive.org after reading through the 14b thread and wondering what happened as his [and toms] site seemed and still seems ahead of it's time, I then was happy to see he was still doing stuff on youtube. I looked through his video history...
I feel like I've seen brass sensors in aluminum housings since forever.The no-no, as I understand, would be threading for example stainless into stainless as that would give you the galling.
That's pretty cool dude. Did you cut it yourself? Where did you source the material if so.It looks like the gaskets I make for my bov and tb, you can get a 4x4"ish square of it at Homedepot Plumbing Racing.
Hopefully I shouldn't need another one.I had to pull so much deadtime after doing this I can't believe it. I'm going to mess with the S wire and see if I can get closer to 15v out of it before adjusting the fuel more and maybe do a global adjustment. I knew I would have to adjust but this...
I snagged a super99 recently with the incredibly rare divided T4 turbine housing. My first thought was to get this manifold to pair with it, another thing I have been dreaming about forever but never had a reason to own.First thoughts. The design is amazing. The casting is smooth and you...
Same as a single tank, just daisy chain them or ideally run 2 wires off the relay. I'd use a bigger relay than the 1" by 1" square block usually used on a standard pump rewire.
I have HKS cams in all my cars. Couple of them I used Evo8 springs, others are stock. The Evo guys say the springs are good to 8800rpm, I put my revlimiter at 8500. Never an issue. There's no tuning needed, just put then in. Mine idle like stock.
Wow, it occurred. I've talked about doing that for 20+ years. The Festiva's weight off the dealer lot is 1595lbs [reciting this over the decades] while the geo metro's weight is 100lb more.
Why not just send it out for a rebuild? It's only a couple grand and you get it back basically new. You're down with driving 8 hours for a mystery gearbox for 500, I saw you put deposit down on the experimental Australian gears that are 2 years out that costs more than a rebuild, but now you're...
What's the Jack's ultimate ratio? I don't see it on their website.Why not just put fluid in the trans and drive it? The noise may go away, this problem may just fix itself.
You went from a forgiving setup to a non-forgiving one in one fell swoop. Do the injectors flow exactly 950 for you? No. Is your gauge exactly correct? Well, it's just a scale (super cheap at that), so no. I ran 5 gauges once and they all gave me a slightly different reading. They are...
Heh that got me a good laugh. No, not really. In the last 15ish years of looking through peoples logs (hundreds) I've seen it less times that I can count on one hand.I can do the craziest adjustments ever and get the WB output I want. Doesn't mean it's correct.
You want AFRATIOEST to equal the WB at 5500rpm AND the cell used at 5500rpm on the table to be a value of 100. Once that occurs, you can do whatever you want with the SD table to make afratioest = wideband. Be prepared to ignore the number scribed on the fuel injectors and ignore the number...
Adjusting airflow. You can only really guilt-free do it when the fuel system is properly calibrated. You calibrate the fuel system with the WB and WOT pulls past peak VE (5500rpm)
Using airflow adjustments as fuel adjustments without the fuel system calibrated for peak VE is wrong.The WB sensor is arguably the most accurate sensor in the car, it's paired with a computer, and you're ignoring that. Screw the gauge. Wire the sensor up so the software can datalog it.
Do you have any logs showing a big 16g flows 38/lb? No. And that is not how stroker engines work.I'm arguably the most anal person on here when it comes to calibrating these cars. Feel free to look at my post history, just go back a couple months. I don't have professional tuner datalogs...
