One thing I just ran into. I put a 90 amp maxima alternator in a couple of years ago. My charging during the summer was always marginal. I'd have to thow a charger on it at least once a week. This summer I decided to do some checking. To make a long story short you cant run 90 amps of power through a system built for 45 amps. The route on the factory wiring on my 73 is alternator, amp gauge, fuse box, Fusable link, starter, battery. I added an extra 10 gauge wire from the alternator to the battery and the problem has gone away. Obviously the amp gauge isn't accurate anymore and at some point soon I'll be doing a major rewire job. Derek

And that fixed it. Thanks Daniel you may have saved my life I guess I should get off of my but and do a proper tune. Thanks again everyone for the help Derek

Thanks for the info guys. I'll check it out tomorrow and post back. Derek

Simultaneous 2 squirt. Map based fuel. TPS based acceleration. I think I'll start data logging and then go out in the parking lot and keep trying to make it happen. I was kind of hoping that someone would be like "yep had the same thing happen to me try XXX" Hey a guy can dream right! I'll post the log when I get something worth looking at. Derek

Ok Maybe it's not that dramatic. I've had this problem since I first set up my megasquirt. My car is a little touchy rolling off of idle. If I release the clutch a little to aggressively the car starts to die and then goes into a full lean condition. Pressing the throttle makes no difference. the only recovery is to restart if it died or shut it down and restart. It has only happened 4 or 5 times but it could be really a problem if I jump out a little to quickly into traffic and the car dies. It seems like it jumps into flood clear mode. Unfortunately it never happens when I'm logging. Has anyone got any ideas on this? Thanks Derek

Not on the radar right now as I have a bunch of pattern commitments. Derek

I think the only lead is the seam between the roof and 1/4 panel and the roof and A pillar. Derek

Crap you beat me to it Foiled again

That must be some kind of magnet!

Zcorp does have a very cool plaster material that works in their machines. You can print a plaster investment mold including cores. Pour in the aluminum and you have a usable part. Derek

I have a stepper IAC on my rig and it's the way to go. It's quite civilized! Running MS2 extra. Derek

You won't regret a trip to Z Mecca!

Don't forget "look cool, Look really cool, actually runs" That was my design criteria on my manifold! The one thing I would change at this point on my project was to run some CFD software on it. I wasn't looking for performance but it would have been nice to have the opportunity to tweak the design a bit. Derek

You really should check out paragon drive backup.

I use paragon drive backup and periodically roll my windows machines back to a known uncluttered state. Makes a huge difference in performance. My macbook pro not so much of a problem but I still use time machine as a backup in case of a drive failure. Most computers built in the last few years will do fine except for the clutter that windoz seems to accumulate. People think their computer is bad and all it needs is a clean restore. Of course thats fine with microsoft as they move more units! Derek

I second that! Derek

PM sent

Yes I am and I have them in stock. Shoot me a PM if your interested. Derek

I second Tuner studio. Much better program and well worth the money. Derek

I used magnacore for my setup. Their noise suppression is really good and you can get them custom made for no extra charge. The turn around time is fast. Derek PS your stuff went out yesterday.

This is becoming commonplace on Ebay. You don't pay ebay charges on shipping.

I cast the block when I was doing the manifolds. Not familiar with the idle block from DIY but what your trying to accomplish is to bleed air from the filtered atmospheric air into the vacuum portion of the block. Derek

For a site that encourages encourages searching (I,m in agreement) hybridz search engine blows. I've searched for stuff I know I saw the day before even using title key words and got no results. The old site had a Google search box incorporated and it seemed to work a lot better. Derek

Turbo encabulator that's a proper fit for the Z.

well it's cleaner than grease!
