  1. I'd definitely try more than 1 gallon. From a dry tank that probably barely hits the pickup tube. The other thing to look at is venting. If the tank isn't vented it'll build a vacuum and the pump won't be able to pull fuel.

  2. No it cannot. I have sonic tested numerous blocks (over ten) and none of them could run that much bore. I even offset my boring to the core shift of the block. At 89mm bore It is at almost minimum thickness.

    I think 91mm has been done before but if I remember correctly they gutted it and sleeved it because of the cylinder walls being too thin. I'm curious if the diesel block would be a better choice for such a large overbore? Have you sonic tested any of them? The height issues can be resolved easily enough when you consider the amount of work that's already going into this.

  3. I'm bookmarking this thread. Lots of good info here. I have a Lincoln 175 220V machine and I've been considering the aluminum kit for it, but wasn't sure whether to hold out for a TIG. Also I think my MIG might be setup for rosin core wire as that's what came with it. I just threw it on the side and hooked up a bottle and solid wire. Maybe I need to look at my polarity after reading this post. Might explain a few things.

  4. Ok, sounds like you went into a conversion blind.

    Get an O2 sensor in there and that will probably help a lot. You probably need new plugs now because it sounds like your running way rich which is causing you stumble off the line. It almost seems like it's not coming out of the warm up circuit once the engine is hot. Check all your connections. The injectors don't have to be in any order so long as they're getting a hot and a switched ground from the ECU. The do a batch fire injection meaning all the injectors fire at once. Get a timing light and see where you're at timing wise. I think your problems will disappear with a new set of plugs and a new O2 sensor though.

  5. They would be nice but they don't exist here in the US and I haven't heard of an importer making them available.

    Actually, minus the turbo that looks like the engine in my wife's Suzuki Forenza. The Daewoo Laganza used a 2.2L version of the the same engine. I was shocked after buying the car to see GM stamped all over the engine compartment. Gas mileage is ok. Only about 25-28mpg city/hwy respective.

  6. This is why woman should not be in combat!!;)

    There will be 1600 dead men around on chick. More depending on hotness.

    Women shouldn't be in combat for a multitude of reasons, this just being one of them. No matter how far stretched out national morality slips, women dying, being murdered and/or raped in a war zone will never be acceptable by the general population. As it should be though. Regardless of what some lesbians, I mean women's rights advocates think, women are suppose to have a softer gentler appeal to them in all aspects of life. Not saying they're less effective than a man in any way, just that their abilities are tapped from a less authorative social view that actually gives them more of an upper hand against men in most, if not all, situations. Leave war to men as that is acceptable. Women are a prize to be cherished in the world of men, not brought down to a man's level.

  7. Brady,

     

    I have checked all of my gounds and they were good to go, I even added extra ground connections when I setup my new wiring with the MS install. So that being said I will check them again. Here is my wiring setup.

    As for the wastegate opening early that maybe happening as I am running the WG off of the output of the turbo and the MAP sensor is manifold pressure. So maybe I should try to run both off of the manifold again. I have been using both to fix the same type of problem but only under part throttle. So I may have to change that and do another dyno run to see what happens.

     

    So anything else I should try? Have you looked at the msq to see if anything looks screwy?

     

    Thanks for the help and to make me think!

    Do you have a ground strap between the chassis and the motor? I've seen a few issues caused by bad/no ground between the engine and chassis. Also look at the components in your EFI setup. A bad sensor/injector/IAC etc. can cause a heavy power draw at certain points that the MS can't compensate for.
