What I have been working on

[KBScobravert]

chop chop chop, that thing sounds insane!

what are the cam specs? i'm sure it is partly due to the tune being off, but my 230/230 .612/.604 doesn't chop nearly that hard.

I think the tune being off and the open dp play s big role here BUT the can is just shy of .600 on both sides.

Soon, soon. Still a few bugs to work out and the tune is off.

You'll get them taken care of. Heck, the first time you drive it all your fun will be over!

I'm always open downpipe!

You gonna get a base tune then tweak it yourself from there?

The AEM software is pretty in-depth and not that easy to work with.....I am finding out. I sent the datalog of about 10 minutes to Kurgan for him to tweak it again and send back. I think from there I am going to get with some folks here and strap it down to a dyno and try to tune it some more followed by some road time.

As loud as the car is though I really need to get some exhuast under it before a road test. I am not sure my neighbors will forgive more than a trip or two around the block.

I am still trying to figure out the software, playing with a little at a time helps. Hell it took me at least 15 minutes to find how to change base timing. I could see it posted in numerous places but could not find a place to change it. Once I did a simple "-" or "+" moves the timing up/down respectively a hair per click. The software allows for a person who knows what they are doing to put a program together that will give the car stock mannerisms.

Ya, if I were you I'd try to learn as much as you can even if you pay someone to tune it initially. My cars tune is a constant work in progress and has gotten pretty damn good. Car fires right up, idles beautifully, can drive off with zero warm-up, afr's are within a few % across the entire range, etc. Only issues I still am working on is a slight transient fueling issue (from a roll the car goes slightly lean when I drop the hammer for a split second, this could also be latency from the wideband though), and occasionally it likes to surge after I flash a new tune (I assume this is because the running air flow table is not perfect and it is relying on learned idle trims that get reset when you flash it). Other then that it drives like bone stock. I try to log it every chance I get and I make minor adjustments based on trends I see. I've never had it on a dyno, all street/track tuning.

I hate to say this too BUT I am pulling the dash, again. I am just not happy with those connectors in there and I need to rethink my grounds for the coils, EPM, ECU, MAP, etc. Plus I need to rewire the 12v for the injector driver.

Good thing I have plenty of extra wire/plugs/terminals.

If someone wanted to help, I could use a hand Saturday morning for just a few minutes to help me heft the dash out. I can do it alone but I just hate doing it with one person.

I would come help but I'm leaving for Turkey TX at 4am on Saturday.

I'm sure I could lend a hand if no one else can. I live over by David so I'm not too far.

It was running very rich 10.0:1 for the time it was running then it went super lean (17.0:1) and died. Now it will not restart.

So if you can't laugh at yourself, right?

Mystery is solved and it only took a second to figure this one out. I found out just how far 5 gallons of E85 goes with 120# injectors. Not even out of the garage.

I thought about the going lean etc for 8 hours while I was at work. Came home and put the key in, turned to run, inspect fuel level gauge and wouldn't you know it. Empty!

So tomorrow it is getting another 15 gallons or till full at least.

Second: Reason for the 10.0:1 a/f, the computer was not getting the 0-5v return reference voltage. I had the wire in the pin for the #2 O2 who would have thought that O2 number one was pin 44 and O2 number two was pin 43. Seems like it should be the other way around. Simple fix though.


So add fuel, move a wire, and back in the saddle again. Still pulling the dash to fix some other grounds stuff though. It is a now or never thing.

I made a promise to my wife to give the car a rest tomorrow so back at it on Friday. The bad thing is I don't get another day off until next Wed.

amazing work

If you can't get anyone, I can come give you a quick hand Saturday morning, Keith.
