BLOZ UP

You'll probably have boost spikes, and boost creep, but it might work. I got a cheap Profec B Spec I off ebay, I'll never go back to non electric boost controllers now.

I have used MSnSE on both of my v2.2 boards for my '84 Z31 turbo. I made lots of power; it worked great with the VG30E. My friend is trying to get me to try MSII, but the only thing I can think of that is better is the more fine tunable spark and fuel values, and stepper motor control for idle (which I probably won't use, I didn't on my z31). So is this worth it? Is the tunability and integrity just the same? I never had any problems with MSnS other than the convoluted menu systems. I'll probably just use my spare MSI ECU and play with a MSII and see which I like better, unless someone steers me away from buying MSII altogether. Also, assuming you already installed and configured megasquirt and megatune to use a 3 bar map, are you able to use kpa values larger than 255 in the tables in megatune with MSNS or MSII?

90% of the time advancing the timing will increase power. However, advancing timing as close to detonation is not always the best idea for power. Some motors like to have more retarded timing in some areas versus others. Only dyno time, preferably with a knock sensor, can tell. IE, 40 degrees gives me detonation, 39.9 is where I have it--but in all actuality, 36 is where it likes to be for power.

Well, every modern car I know of has them. Or a solid axle:icon56:

i have a sudden urge to eat a cream-filled pastry...

carfiche.com has some of the factory service manuals available in pdf format. You can probably use any year of the N/A manuals for a competitive engine diagnosis. Also, burning oil could be worn rings, or bad valve seals, bad headgasket, or all of the above.

yes and i stole a hybridz member's sig...

Very old, but worth watching again.

I would stay with 6 or more cylinders, but that's just me...

I believe it was about 20 shipped to my door from summit, for the air temp and water temp sensors. That's including the 8 dollar summit fee.

hey Drax240z, I have a couple questions. Is it better to dyno turbo/supercharged cars, displaying uncorrected values rather than SAE/Standard/whatever? I had a guy come in and say that it's better to not compensate for air temp, etc. on a turbo car... I can see getting more consistent results from dyno to dyno... but isn't that also *not* what the car is actually making? Also, have you ever experimented with tire pressure?... I am still not entirely sure how, but I had a ls1 powered truck come in with low tire pressure on both rear wheels (20 or so psi), we raised it to 35, and gained 40hp over almost the entire range... maybe it had to do more with wheel diameter affected engine rotations per drum rotation, and not actually "giving" the car power...?

MSD has some, you can get them from Summit.

A 5" black and white tv... yay...

Well, I found a little more rust on the floorboards, nothing unrepairable... but the rear of my 240 has been in a wreck, and i would really like to replace the rear frame bar thing, along with the body panel from half-way at the tail lights down. its just tons of bondo right now. also the FL corner was in a wreck as well, but the frame is straight, just the body is all dinged up from being pulled.

Hm, I just lifted ~200 lbs of engine (vg30 shortblock) out of my civic's trunk, onto a milk crate today. I tried to just use my legs, but i was reaching into the trunk somewhat... hmm now im worried.

that man is going to be rich.

I had two punks call my car a pinto. im not sure whether or not they were joking... but i had my breaker bar in hand just in case...

I'm betting that camera doesn't do it justice, but even from those it looks nice!

not laughing.... eh hem..

my boss got 27 all day long in his 99 c5 with headers/36#/heads/big cam, so i imagine that's right. damn those ls juans!!
