    Clutch Too Aggressive? Here's a way to calm it down, requires a little fabrication

    Agreed. Anything that makes launches more efficient is a good thing. :thumb:

    Clutch Too Aggressive? Here's a way to calm it down, requires a little fabrication

    The clutch is directly coupled to the motor the instant it fully engages. Therefore, any torque that is measured at the input to the transmission is still just a function of total engine torque, once the clutch is engaged. During the time it is in the process of engaging, any excess power not...

    horrible problem after timing belt change

    Since when? Did you read the article I linked to up there ^ ?If the head is torqued down and the valves will stay closed, you can leak test it. Hell, it doesn't even have to be in the car.

    Clutch Too Aggressive? Here's a way to calm it down, requires a little fabrication

    I've read it 3 times and still haven't got a clue what I'm reading. Maybe I'm just slow today.I am however, EXTREMELY interested in some of those magic beans that somehow get 900 ft/lbs of torque out of a motor that is only capable of producing 450 ft/lbs. :D

    Clutch Too Aggressive? Here's a way to calm it down, requires a little fabrication

    Huh?I'm thinking that if it took 450ft/lbs of torque to free rev the engine to 2000rpm, that is a tight ass motor. :)

    1G Misfire

    No, it won't. The throttle cable isn't tied into the ignition circuit in any way, shape, or form.It may cause idle issues, a sticking or rough feeling gas pedal, or malfunctioning cruise control (if equipped)... but it isn't going to cause one or more spark plugs to misfire.

    FIC BlueMax 1450cc Tuning

    Correct. Properly characterized data (from Tom or Jens) for individual injectors will always be far more accurate than you can get from looking at a logged error value that is a culmination of many factors.My personal opinion is that even theoretical latency values printed on...

    FIC BlueMax 1450cc Tuning

    It is a bit confusing, which is why I purposely didn't go into a lot of detail. IMO, most people that are new to tuning end up making things worse when they try to tune deadtime by using fuel trim values. That is why I suggest just sticking with recommended or tested values.In a nut shell...

    ...or just reset the long term trims and don't worry about them, and simply watch CombinedFT. ;)With that said, that isn't a very good way to adjust deadtime. It's just as likely (probably more so) that CombinedFT errors are caused by airflow mis-calibration or an incorrect global fuel...

    ECMlink does anyone have a base fuel/timing map for e85?

    Although running the AFR a few points leaner should (in theory) give better MPG, the reality is that you will probably never be able to notice it unless you do a LOT of flat highway cruising at low loads. And since the whole point of running E85 is to get more power, well.... you see where I'm...

    1G PCV System Question

    Being what it is from who it is, I have no doubt it does what they claim. I got a good look at it last year at the SO, and it is a quality piece as expected. But IMO... that is a shit ton more CC vacuum than 99% of us would ever need or want.If you have the need for a dry sump oiling system...

    rough idle and knock!

    I wasn't being a jerk; I was trying (very hard) to be tactful in telling everyone else that you need to fix your mechanical problems before focusing on log advice. And since you said your tester was inadequate, how in the hell are we supposed to believe that you truly got rid of ALL your boost...

    Everyone....hold up.First of all, I don't believe the OP has completed the most basic thing there is on a DSM, which is a BLT to hold 5 PSI more than his set boost. By his own admission, his tester is not even adequate for the job. No offense, but based on that and several other comments in...

    1G PCV System Question

    Everything TexasTurbo stated here is spot on, but I'll toss in a few random thoughts just for giggles.1). Some (if not most) of the big-power guys DO have crankcase issues, but it's not a major concern to them in the grand scheme of things. One point that a lot of people on this forum don't...

    rough idle and knock!

    Knock (real or phantom) has nothing to do with why the car is running so rough at idle and low load. OP needs to figure out what is going on before beating on the car in WOT where knock is a real issue.
  40. Calan

    rough idle and knock!

    If you actually hear knock during a WOT pull, it's most likely too late.Did you keep testing and fixing them until you can hold 5psi above max boost? I can't recall ever seeing a car in average condition with just one boost leak.*****Follow this, and then post a log in the tuning help forums.

    tuning question

    If you are asking that question, I would suggest not doing anything at all except basic maintenance and a few months of reading and learning. You'll save yourself a buttload of time and money in the long run if you wait until you have the knowledge and resources to make the right decision.

    May need rings and a hone, depending on what the failed HG let happen. If coolant got in the cylinders and it's been sitting a year, the rings are probably toast and the cylinder walls may need some TLC.You should also plan on new plugs and wires, hoses, belts, and vac lines.I would be...

    That's the other thing I saw that would make me consider it if he will come down a bit. An unmodded 1G AWD with 70k on it is usually worth a little more than what most people realize.Another big factor in how much it is worth is how capable you are of doing work on it. If you are handy with...

    1G Craigslist 1992 Eagle Talon TSi AWD

    Interior looks fairly clean, and the fact he has a second motor and trans helps. Check it for rust.
