installing a throwout bearing backwards
installing brakes upside down with the bleeder on the bottom
forgetting to ground an HEI module
putting in the dizzy shaft 180 degrees off
weight = slow
but this is awsome man! thanks for sharing the pics!! I wanted to do this soo bad with the Z.. but I didnt want some Subaru STi roll up at a stop light and smash me
it's a DSM (Eclipse) BOV.. they have a stock setting of what... 10-14psi?! you need to CRUSH the top to allow more boost or it will leak..
unfortunatly the puppy is too tight now .. and you are having compressor surge..
but damn I love that noise
Walk through on how it works.. pictures and install.

Basically its a small "relay" with 3 wires... and it uses a fast acting valve.
(boost control "kit")

and ofcourse.. the MegaManual for the boost controller and how to tune

I am buying the parts this week =)
Ohh.. btw it is tuned using a TPS and RPM map..
so yes you can have 5 psi all the time below 3/4 throttle
then have 20psi at full throttle
or have 10psi till 3,800rpm then kick in to 20psi.. help launch the car
or lower the boost at high RPM's to prevent detonation
yeh it was a bad HEI unit..
and I forgot to ground the base of the new HEI unit.. yes it had a ground wire, but I guess the base of the HEI needs to be grounded too!
Let me find you a link for the boost control stuff...

Nice!!
Phil why didnt you try the Megasquirt Boost Controller?! its costs $24 and it uses a boost map.. so depending on RPM you can select how much boost you want to run.
um.. boost by 2,300-2,500 RPM?! with a HY35w??!
what the thats not right..
in what gear?!
My boost comes in around 3,100 rpm in 4th gear... but full boost by 3,800 RPM..
please share your fuel/spark maps.. because Holy crap I want that
on this note..
I am trying to hook up the Innovate LC1 to the Megasquirt unit...
If i hook up the wiring directly MS reads the proper AFR according to my guage..
but I am supposed to install an in-line 1/4watt 1k resistor?!
Well with the resistor inline.. Its all screwy and the readings are WAY off
** EDIT - ahh.. i need a 1/4 watt 470 ohm! not 1k!
are the bad dog frame rails stainless steel?!
any problems welding these rails to the steel underbody using a mig?!
If it is stainless do I have to use gas? or can I use a stainless wire flux?!
you need to configure
1) Innovate to give out a 0-5v signal
2) megasquirt to read a 0-5v signal
I told you megasquirt tuned is a whole new car.. its incredible
