Haltech start up

[monster626]

I just set the e6k up in my zx. Im using the 83zxt distributer thanks to the help of JT. I don't have the money for the dyno how would you recommend on street tuneing. Any experiences that anyone has doing this would be helpfull.

Monster,

 

Hey bud I just installed an E6K in my car and got it running (Thanks to you JT) and it's taken me a long time to get it to a reall good running stage. Just start with a base map for all ranges then tweek them form there. Denfinately need a really good Air Fuel ratio meter. You'll be lost without it. I know the read out gives you your mixture, but when your driving it's good to be able to watch the AF ratio meter.

 

The positive side is that when you do get it going it's going to be a monster and it only goes up form there.

 

Very key is to make sure all your set ups, timing, ect... are all correct before you start. I'm very fortunate to have my Brother Brian, who is a wiz at cars helping me tune as I drive. We were doing about 110mph in no time the other day when tuning it on the highway . Fontunately no cops.

 

Good luck getting it going!

I know it is a bit pricey, but I didn't realize how far out of tune my car was until I installed an EGT. The air/fuel meter is good, until you get into the higher RPM's and that is where the EGT takes over.

thanks for your insite. I have had the car running with the magnetic pick up but at 1440rpms she stalled, Now i'm back to the 83zxt dist and i haven't fired her up yet. In the IGnition Maps what map did you choose.

These are just question so that i can see how others started. Thanks
