HipMF Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 doesn't MS have a compensation for that? Seems like flow-testing the injectors an punching the numbers in a LUT would be an easy-peasy solution... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 You can enter in values for non-linear injector latency vs. voltage which would help with that especially on a car with a light flywheel and big cam/itbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Crappy pic, but it gets the point across. Struggling to figure out a coolant expansion tank, and may resort to just putting one back in the stock location and making some brackets for it. I also decided to move the oil cooler and that has been providing an equal amount of headaches. In good news the everything else is taken care of, and the ECU seems to be working well and I feel confident that once I get the oil and coolant situation figured out it should fire up first go.

GunMetalGrey Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Got it running today, with minimal resistance. Now to get the coolant expansion tank in place and do some driving! HipMF and Bassboy3313 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 ^ I had a late lunch with the family, so I don't think tonight will be that night! In other news, I replaced all of the soft brake lines with braided stainless ones and also replaced all of the brake hardlines over the past year. Holy crap is the brake pedal awesome now! I'm doing some non driving tuning right meow and hope to be able to give it another test drive soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdesign Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 New hardlines you say. Were the old ones rotted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed to replace the soft lines in the rear at the caliper, and the nuts were gross so I figured I may as well replace them. The ones above the rear subframe were gross and I did those when the subframe was out this winter. I had done the front's when I deleted ABS.

Jdesign Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 Ahhh. Yeah I did all the same lines when I did my suspension a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Typical summer build thread for me, never being updated. I had my plugs gapped way too far and was blowing spark out at full boost, brought them down but may go a little further yet. Tuning takes a lot of time and is tricky, getting annoyed by it.

B C Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 And now you understand why cars come with the smallest possible injectors from the factory instead of just sending everything out with 42#ers. Big injectors make tuning more cumbersome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassboy3313 Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 I am pretty sure LMT does. @DrLeadFoot would know better than I would tho. I was planning on taking mine there when that time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaiserRolls Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 just get it dyno tuned and done Any localish places that you would suggest that will play with megasquirt? DB performance in MN, would would require you to come visit Shane does most of the Megasquirt there as far as I know. Did Brooke's car. It was neat.

GunMetalGrey Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Switched to full sequential the other day and also changed the req_fuel to reflect the new information in regards to the injectors (they were rounded for lb/hr and also rated at 3 bar) and suddenly this thing is a different animal. No burnout vids, but there has for sure been some tire spin. Oh, my starter solenoid did start acting up hard today. Had to have a friend hit it with a screwdriver while I held the key over. Grabbing a new one today to fix that. Luckily it didn't start when I was at a friends house instead of a gas station or somewhere random.

GunMetalGrey Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I have to hit my starter with a screwdriver to get it to start lately. That's fun. Still trying to track down an 10+PSI breakup. Hoping to do a bit of logging this weekend and really pinpoint what's going on. Got sideways on a gentle bend at about 60mph from rolling on the throttle, didn't expect that to happen and it was amusing to say the least. Stayed in it and just powered through, worked out fine. It just so happened to be when I was giving my dad ride lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
