  1. 8" Speakers have very punchy mid bass, at least any of the ones I've had or heard. They don't seem to produce the low thump especially in a small box. You might try getting a speaker ring for the 10's and just mounting your speaker free air, using the trunk as your box so to speak.
  2. Wanted to update this in case someone in the future searches this topic it will have a conclusion. First off thank you all for the help I appreciate it every time. To anyone trying to set up a single pulse cam sensor with a 36-1 crank wheel on a Haltech, you need to know; the ecu has to see the home signal (Cam Pulse) from 0-180° before the missing tooth passes the crank sensor for cylinder 1's compression stroke. The ecu doesn't look at the cam sensors angle just that it pulses before the missing tooth on the compression stroke. All the angle information the computer needs is provided via the crank wheel. So phasing it is simple and that is why there is no calibration settings in the software aside from sensor type & trigger edge (rising or falling). Got mine running and idling good on full sequential injection! I am happy with the smoother engine performance, not that you can't achieve a smooth and powerful engine with batch or semi sequential. For me and my intake though, it seems so much better on full. Thanks again and good luck to anyone trying to run this setup.
  3. Ok so you're saying look at the pattern of the crank sensor vs the cam sensor. Basically, I'd be looking for a wave/pulse from the cam sensor seven pulses before every other missing pulse. Makes sense, there are some trace/graph data bits in the software I'll look for something in there. If not I'll see if someone has a O-scope I can borrow. thanks again.
  4. The Megasquirt manuals are so helpful, I used to run MS1 V3.0 Extra before switching to Haltech. I often go back and look at the information in those manuals. PSU - The method you mentioned for the MS is the same as Haltech describes to set up a crank trigger. If I set the ignition to "lock" @ 10° start it up and shine a timing light on the crank it does say 10°. However if I move the cam sensor around there is no change in the ignition timing. Scott - I see what you mean by the rising and falling edge, I've run into that before with the MS. The Haltech however, tells you to start with falling until you get close or if you already know better. I am unsure either way. Although, I will try and switch it to rising and see if I get a better result. Import - Thanks for the links I appreciate it. The trigger wheel is currently working and if I stay semi-sequential (basically batch injection divided by 2) I can drive the car normally. The cam sensor is only single pulse, I don't think this affects the crank trigger any way and if I try to run full sequential it dies. I guess what I mean is; how do I tell if my cam sensor is in the correct position? I don't see a way to calibrate it in the software. If anyone's ever installed that cam sensor in my pic on a Ford (the whole unit not just the sensor) you know you need the tool to align the sensor correctly. But when retrofitting any sensor how do you know if you have the sensor in the right position without a calibration button or method? The triggers since last home switches between two numbers, like I said. The manual says that it may do that when using a VR type sensor. I justify the numbers by: 70 triggers since last home sounds right 36-1 is 35 teeth 2 crank revolutions for 1 cam is 70 teeth. The 34 I relate to once in the Haltech forum, Matt (mod) told me that 34 is correct number of teeth because the Haltech doesn't count the tooth chosen to be trigger tooth, so 36 teeth, one missing and one more ignored is now 34. But how does that tell you if your sensor is in the right position? Sorry if this is confusing and choppy, its confusing just trying to explain my problem... ahh my head hurts. In some way I feel Haltech has dropped the ball on this one. They should have added a "Calibrate Cam Sensor" Button. Then life would be a little easier for me lol.

  6. Is anyone here running a cam sensor? I need help setting mine up... I cut a stock distributor down and made a Ford cam sensor fit on it. I welded a piece of 1/4" square stock to the shaft to get my single pulse. I have a 36-1 Mookeeh (Motronic) crank wheel and the car is currently running & driving. Here's the tricky part, for me anyway. In the Trigger settings you have "Tooth Offset" & "Trigger Angle", for the crank sensor alone I set, Offset at 2 and Angle at 50 degrees. So to add a cam sensor the manual says add the angle and offset together to get your "Home" or cam pulse angle. I install the cam sensor while the crank was at 7 teeth BTDC (each crank tooth is 10 deg, so 50 deg plus the 2 teeth offset equals 70 deg or 7 teeth). Then it says to check your work look at "triggers since last home" that number display switches between 70 & 34 when the engine is running. If I switch the injectors to sequential it stalls so I know something isn't right. Does anyone know how to set one of these up? The System is Haltech Platinum Sport 1000. The software though, looks a lot like Tuner Studio for MS. Thanks in advance for all the help.
  7. ES is what some folks call me, short for Esteban (given in HS Spanish class) Spanish version of my name Steve. Turbo because I love turbos actually had this screen name on other forums before I even owned a quest. 4 because in that forum ESTurbo was taken.
  8. I would buy the Genesis, I'd buy it now if I could afford to. However I'd rather the 2dr model in stick but either way they are nice.
  9. I worked at Advance Auto for a few years then worked at a more professionally geared mom and pop type store. The Advance with the corporate backing made the employee powerless, clueless and broke. The mom and pop store gave the employee more everything. For example when I worked at Advance a customer tried to return a Pep-Boys battery (said Pro-Start right on it) I refused to return it and told the customer he had bought from Pep-Boys and to go there for his warranty. He insisted he bought it from Advance called Advance's home office and complained. I got written up for mistreating the customer, our store returned his battery for an Advance equivalent and also gave him a $25 gift card for the trouble. I couldn't believe it. The mom and pop store would back the employee up, if I didn't want to return something for whatever reason it didn't get returned. At the garage I run now we use small local chain store called Eastern, its a professional type place. I Rarely use Advance, Zone or Pep Boys (don't have O'Riely's here). But if I were to choose, I'd use Advance because I know what they stock and how their system works. I just look up the parts before going or calling then just give them the part number so they cant screw it up. Whats funny is at times they'll tell me they don't stock an item, I simply say try this number... suddenly they're dumbfounded when its on the shelf right behind them.
  10. Met some great people who own these cars, in other states and home as well. Most of the people near me that I've met used to have the car but don't anymore. Still its great to meet people and even learn things from them. Haven't been driving my car a whole lot recently perhaps I need to get it out more often so I can meet some new folks again. I really like meeting people who have the car but don't know much about it. I feel like I can save them so much time and effort. I have even met folks who don't know about this site, don't have the FSM and have a hard time fixing anything on their cars because they can't find parts. I'm siked to share which bone yards have what and what I know about this and that. I'm glad this site exists to even virtually meet all of you.
  11. I have a Haltech Platinum Sport 1000 now I had a Megasquirt before that. So far I've done all my own tuning. While I'm no ace at it, I have been able to get it to run and drive fairly reliably with both systems. You're probably going to run into snags here and there with any setup, but the folks here can usually help you with them.

  13. Got it, thank you. I currently use fuel cut for deceleration, but don't have O2 control enabled at all. When the maps were a bit rougher then now O2 control would try and "fix" what it thought was wrong. I wont re-enable it until my maps are a little better still. In another few logs or so I should have it. Thanks again for the help on idle.
  14. I usually check this site at work and once a week we delete the internet files, upon doing that it logs me out of the "remember me" feature and I often forget to re-log back in. The only difference I've noticed is certain pictures require you to be logged in to view them. So, I am guilty of being one of those guests on occasion.
  15. The AFR's from Aem and Haltech match, but most of time I read them directly from the Aem gauge simply out of convenience. The cold enrichment table could use some tweaking for sure. However, once warm it still wants the idle mixture to be rich but Scott is saying its normal then I'll just play with the cold enrichment and let it run rich at warm idle. I didn't wanna foul the plugs I know at idle they are not at self cleaning temp and are likely to foul in excessively rich conditions. Also accelerates the wear of the O2. What is an acceptable rich idle AFR in you're professional opinions? Thanks for taking the time guys I do appreciate it.
