ColtGT4g63 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Okay folks, its been a long time since an Update! Its been a love / hate relationship with my Mega squirt. Finally some new firmware is now available and it actually lets you pick "LS1" as a crank trigger. Loaded her up and took it out for a spin. FINALLY the car pulls to red line with out any lost sync. issues! Runs exactly like I've been wanting it to. So as of now, I am running 10 psi, 8* of timing, and a 10:1 AFR. I am currently using the Chinese GT45 that you can get off of Ebay for 330$ shipped. I also swapped the cam to a Stock C5 Zo6 cam. Exhaust is 3" large for about 4 feet before it meets with my old X pipe then goes dual 3" out the back. Back when the car was N/A, I could make the car hook in 2nd gear. NOW, 4th gear is iffy Drag strip this Friday, here I come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffer949 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Awesome!! I'm Glad to hear that its going well. I know what you mean with the love hate relationship with MS. I've cursed that damn thing a billion times lol but I love it at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Ya for sure, I was pro at swapping back and forth between the MS and the factory computer. I'll do my best to get some video and pics this weekend at the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown77Z Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I'm very interested to see what the car will run now Post the drag slip when you get back home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Of course! Along with an In car video of the runs. Hehehe The only way that the car will not run good times, is if I've got too much power for my slicks, or if the car breaks. Luckily my friends have got trailers. Keep your fingers crossed!

Cable Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Any idea what your intake temps are at full boost? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtGT4g63 Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 Any idea what your intake temps are at full boost? Thanks!! I'll be able to tell you after looking at some logs tomorrow night at the track. I'm going to guess somewhere roughly 15 - 20* warmer then ambient temp.

If that's really it, then your intercooler is doing a great job especially for a air to air unit using a turbo that is on the smaller side for 5.7 litre V8. Sounds like a great combo to me.

ColtGT4g63 Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Looking back at my logs from the last time I was at the track. my intake temp while I'm waiting in line is up to 111*, once I take off it goes up to 113* then by the end of the track its hovering around 118* If there was a way to keep the intercooler cold before I started racing, then maybe it would only go up just a little bit above ambient. Seems like the intercooler is just heat soaking while I'm in line waiting to race. while cruising around on a cold night, I've seen the intake temps as low as 55*.

Aside from spraying anything on the intercooler, I wonder if you put some pusher fans on if that would be adequate enough to keep it at ambient? Just make up a bracket so you would be able to take them off and on easily as it would just be needed for when at the track. I don't know if it has been done or if it would work but it is just an idea I thought of while reading your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, my IAT's seem to be pretty normal for what they are so I'm not too worried about it. We'll see what happens tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
