driver side and passenger side headers pretty much complete.

Guy I work with has a CBX here in Colorado. He never rides it, I think it has probably set for the last 10 years.

Sage words of advice from Moby's Sticky: START WITH A KNOWN RUNNING CAR.
usually easier said than done, but I am really gad to hear that you might have found the problem. awesome, I hope that was it and your good to go now.

OK, I scanned the entire thing. The T70 SS/XS turbo definitely worked for this guy, but I get the feeling he only puts like 1000miles on the truck in the course of a year? I could ask him in the thread I guess. Looks like he got atlest 5-7 other people to by this turbo for their projects by him having good luck with it. I am actually trying to get a friend to go this route with his daily driver pickup. That way if the turbo fries out I can say "see I told you those turbos were cheap, but now you can just slap a real one in there since all you setup is done"
So what do you guys think, any takers?

Here, definitely want to read the whole thread, it is long, I actually haven't read the whole thing so I don't want to comment any more on it. I'm going to read it over again though, because I thought they had good luck with the super T70 from SS. Looks like in the thread he mentions that it is actually a little smaller than a real T70.

PS: skip down to reply #16, that is where the real account starts from a different guy than started the thread.
The pictures of the Turbo are on page 8, reply #159

You'll likely want at least a 60 AR for twin turbos for a mild build. To give you an idea I am using two T3 turbos (the stock datsun type with ~60 AR) and am only expecting to get in the 500hp range at around 12-14psi. The turbos you linked wouldn't work well to make it to that modest level because of the small 48 AR which will restrict exhaust flow too much. But a guy might want a low rev high torque street fun motor and then those turbos would work fine.
oops, I see those are 60 AR turbine so they might work OK to get to 500hp. You should read a lot more before buying any turbos, you'll never regret it.

It is not labeled so much as spark B mod, but spark B goes to LED19, so do the LED19 mods on this page:

Yes, you can use Megasquirt. I did an install on a TPI engine. You can see the details in the megasquirt forum. I used an 87 setup.

Well, we finally got Mike's 37 chevy back in my garage to install the turbos. We had all the parts on hand since November but got too busy to work on it.
Got a good start on making the turbo headers last Saturday. Its going really well, just doing the old weld-el type header. Using the old head for mock up is really speeding things along.
We are placing side bets on what goes first (crank/piston/tranny/rear end)
The car is not really built to handle the power, but we will start with 6-7psi and see what happens. The engine is sbc 350 with TPI and megasquirt. It is just cast piston, cast crank, and mildy built th350.

Dumb question here, but how did you physically connect the FET to X4? I don't remember X4 being connected to anything on the v2.2 pcb, so you have to solder onto the pcb pad to use it right?(it is not connected to the DB37) I could be wrong, and I haven't kept up on this thread too good, so maybe you mentioned the setup already.

Blueoval, that explains the tesla coil
I'm a EE and have been lucky enough to be at the same fun and challenging job for 9 years.
Over the last two years I have helped my wife to build a horse training/boarding business that is really doing well(helped by investing in her schooling and facilities). I am hoping to start working with her full time in the next few years. Right now I have another metal buidling kit on order to expand her capacity. If things continue like they have for the last two years she is going to make my income seem like a hobby.

i guess i could get it close without a wide band
I wouldn't try, either use a wideband, a pyrometer, or a dyno with wideband, or all of them. You'll be much happier after tuning with a wideband, even with just a little tuning, trust me.

Well Mobythevan came from the old 68 chevy van (white off course) that my cousin owned for several years and always referred to it as Moby aka the white whale. Well, then I bought the van and had it for several years and I just liked using mobythevan for all my logins and screennames because it was never taken so I have the same username everywhere I go. I don't have the van any longer but that is the real picture of it as my avatar

The tune from the Moby FAQ
That is why, most likely. It seems that I had a problem with fuel pressure for that tune and everyone that runs it with "normal" setup ends up way rich.
That is all I can gather at this point.

You try to run that down a track and the first hard launch will rip all that ♥♥♥♥ off the top of the engine.
yeah, especially the girl

All of the HEI units I have seen are intended to get grounded through the bolt hole(only one of the two bolt holes has a metal ring rising out of the plastic housing), so if you don't bolt it to something on the car that is grounded you are going to be in trouble.

You have correctly answered 3 of 20 questions.
wtf?
guess I better get another car to work on

I know this has been posted before, but here it is again

I don't think you need any different code, you just go into megatune and turn off spark control.
-
Can you edit the first post in this thread to explain that it is sorted out now, that way when people open it up and only read the first couple posts they don't just go away thinking bad.
thanks

Did you talk with him before sending the money, or did the add list an email to just paypal the money to? It has come up before but once in a while people have emergencies and don't get back to email for a few days. We can hope for the best. It looks like that account has been a member here since 2003 from that link that was posted, doesn't seem like he would be a scammer??

I work at a Pete dealership with a guy who bought that gun. Hes had NO problems with it so far. Yes the 1/2" hose will be enough to get good power out of it. Not sure what those wheels have to be tourqued at, Petes are tourqed to 450 ft lbs, so that gun should be MORE than strong enough.
Thanks, I was hoping someone had seen one in action. I am still debating about it, but I think I will get one and I will check on their warranty just in case.
You should Megasquirt the impact driver. Throw a little fuel injector in it then safty wire a beenie weenie can of gas to the side of it.I just can't megasquirt my way out of this one, careful how you interpret that
EDIT: I just noticed they list a single hammer version for $99 and a twin hammer for $119, I'll get the twin hammer version

I ended up with a 2 and 1/2 ton truck with budd wheels and using 6 foot cheater pipes is kicking my butt(I only weigh 150). I need to do brakes on the whole truck so I'm thinking the 1" impact is worth a try for ~ $100. I have a big compressor that will flow 10CFM steady(the tool says 12-14cfm, so may only get 1 or two off and then wait). I also have it set up with a 1/2 inch hose for the 100lb sandblaster. Do you guys think that will be big enough hose? I am waffling on the decision because it will be like another $75 to get a 3/4 inch hose and plumb it all into my air compressor. And I'm not sure the Harbor Freight cheapo impact will really do the lugs and studs. Any opinions? The specs say the lugs should be around 600ft/lbs for steel wheels:icon52: .
-
BTW, I know it will probably come up, but I have a 1000cfm throttle body to go on top the supercharger so I think right now a single carb adapter will support me. The throttle body also has 4 1600cc injectors in it, so that should give me fuel capacity up to 800hp at the flywheel. The heads are worked 049 castings with larger valves installed.
