Yeah, I'm up to 92% DC on the injectors. As long as I keep the boost turned all the way down, and don't take it above 7K rpm, the stage 1s will keep up. So, I really need to get some 750s or even 866s, especially if I want to run it on alcohol. I would just go with some 1000s, but I'd rather stay wi...

Ok. Here's the pics of the hood I have: Unterside: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/j_dudeck/hood001.jpg Top: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n2/j_dudeck/hood002.jpg Dent (It's pretty hard to see. The dimple is quite shallow. It's right where the two little scratches are, right next to the w...

I haven't made it to a dyno yet, no. I am rather curious though what kind of numbers I'm making. My stage 1 injectors are already maxed out at 14 psi. So, I really need to get some 750s to drop in before I make a dyno run. As soon as I get some new injectors and do a quick retune, I'll probably make...

but keep in mind that we will take NO responsibility for how well the drivetrain will hold up. We prefer to tune the kit on an MTX though, simply because it's easier to tune and we know that we can run it to the limit of the motor The ATX is a stronger transmission than the MTX. If you're just worr...

Yeah. I can take some pictures tomorrow

I have a hood in my basement. It has one little dent in it that would be pretty easy to fix.

I'd sell it to you for like $25...

I was going to use it for a CAI project, but I think I've decided that was a silly idea.

Interested?

Any updates on the wrist pin theory? I think the whole thing is bogus. When was the last time you heard of a wrist pin seizing? Seriously, that just doesn't happen. I don't think there is really anything wrong with it. At least not in the rotating assembly. I checked all the HLAs a couple times, bu...

You might try reflashing the firmware...

Not sure if that will help or not, but it certainly won't hurt to try.

Well... I'm not sure if I'll be getting the truck or not. The dude that I bought it from backed up into it while it was parked in his driveway. It pushed in the driver's door and door frame. So, right now I'm just waiting to hear back from him about how long it's going to take to get it fixed. Hopef...

Nope. It's a 5-speed. :) It has the 3.0L V6 too. It's been in California for most of its life, so the body is very clean. No rust at all. It has about 200k miles on the chassis, and the engine was rebuild about 40k miles ago. With a little TLC it should keep running for a very long time still. The s...

lol. Yeah, it is pretty short. (just over 100 in wheelbase i think)

No high centering for this bad boy...

Well, I've been looking for truck that I can use as more of a winter "beater" if you will, so that I don't have to take the neon out in nasty weather. I found this '89 Mitsu Montero on ebay, and ended up getting a great deal on it. I actually just won the auction this evening. I'll be picking it up ...

I finally had a chance to run by Andre's place (LoneWolf Performance), so he could see the car. We also did a little more investigating to try to find out what is making this ticking noise I've got. First thing we did was a compressing test: cyl 1: 140 cyl 2: 145 cyl 3: 140 cyl 4: 140 Obviously no p...

I'm wondering how much blow by you're getting, and how much oil it's losing. I think some of the rings might not have seated well, and you're hearing a piston move around a little..... Just an idea.... Why would it start making noise now, and not before? I haven't checked compression yet. I still n...

The rod bearings looked like... brand new. And they are brand new, so I guess that's a good thing. Doesn't help much for finding where this tapping noise is coming from though. I disassembled and checked the rocker arms today too. And I have now eliminated lifters as a possible source. I did some mo...

Yeah, Chapin has a jack. It won't fit under the car though, but I guess that's normal now. :) The pan isn't all the way off yet actually. I need a dee0 socket to get the oil filter nipple off. The oil filter adaper has to come off for the pan to off. The bearings I found at Oreilly's. They were the ...

Well... I have a small problem. I keep breaking stuff. :lol: I just dropped the oil pan this evening to replace a rod bearing. I have rod that is knocking very lightly (just started two days ago), so I need to fix it before it gets bad enough to hurt anything. Other than that it's been running fine....

Repairing the brake line on a Toyota pickup truck in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Yeah, that's me on top of the drive shaft...

I'm thinking that the SKIM system will still function with MS running fuel and spark, IF you keep your PCM and power distribution systems intact. I glanced briefly at the wiring diagram for the SKIM module, but I wasn't able to see immediatly how the SKIM would shut down the engine if the wrong key ...

What points do I need to test with my multimeter on the coil pack, and what resistance am I looking for to the terminals? Also the settings on the multimeter. Thanks To check the primary coils, set your multimeter to lowest ohm setting. The resistance of the primary coils should be: 0.45 - 0.65 ohm...

Yep. A bit less than that.

It's about 80-85 lbs. Something like that...

If you remove the little rubber boot that seals around the clutch fork, then you can shine a light in there and see exactly what's going on...

14 psi. WOT. Feels pretty good... :twisted: I did some tuning tonight. It's running much better now. Much smoother. Boost comes on really fast and holds all the way to redline, and it pulls really hard. The butt dyno says 230 whp. Still needs more tuning though. One of my friends was along for the r...

Yeah. That's why it was a bit of a mystery. It felt like it was pulling fuel and timing, and as it turns out, it was. All the over boost protection does is kick in the hard cut rev limiter whenever you go over the specified value. Since it didn't know what to do with the value that I entered, it was...

Great job man :thumbup: Hey, thanks! Everything seems to be running as it should. I did have a minor issue that was rather baffeling for a couple days, but I just figured out what the problem was last night, and now I can actually go into boost. :D What was happening was whenever I would go into bo...

I thought I had mine tuned pretty well, but then sometimes it will just go nuts, and I'm not sure why. :lol: There are quite a few parameters to play with, and I'm having a little trouble getting it set just right. I think if you keep the dashpot adder low (1 or 2) and the dashpot settle time pretty...

Well... actually there is a simple answer to your question. It's really not all that mysterious. While there may be some variation from one application to another, gasoline still behaves in the same manner. For gasoline: max power rich = 12.5 afr max power lean = 13.5 afr (dyno results show that 12....

I bet it is hard since the computer is not controlling the boost. Just the WGA correct? I also noticed you have a Kinetic WGA on there right, same one I have. I did the vac line mod, so the WGA controls the boost which isn't fun for a daily driver. You either go really slow or WOT once you hit 3k. ...

Congrats!!!! How much boost are you runnin? 0 psi... at the moment. :) Until I finish breaking in the engine, I'm trying to keep it out of boost. I say "trying" because it's very hard to NOT build boost. It's probably because my cylinder head flows so freely, it builds boost very easily... and so f...

It's super easy to install and works great. You have an specific pix of it in your project log? It looks pretty simple, Im a visual learner so ya... lol :rockon: Sorry.
