Well...I must not have recorded right...I'll get it posted...

 

I can do good pulls on 10psi now....Should I changed anything to up the boost? Or just let the added fuel pressure do the work for me..?

well, first off is make sure your afrs stay good into the upper kpa and rpms range, adjust there if nessecary. past that, im not really sure what to do with timing. i still havent gotten to that point myself.

the ignition map and AFR map you have, have taken me to 18 psi on many occasion,

 

just slowly work up to it and watch your AFR. when i made that ignition table, i made it so it'd run well but hard to blow anything up.

Kyle...My biggest issue right now is itermittent noise in the tach signal. I think it may be touching something somewhere...Some times When I'm datalogging the car will start going crazy. The RPM's graph looks like a mountain range! when its doing it. and It will just go away. The car is running well though other than that.

 

Does the "hard" rev limiter not work with Edis? Just the spark retard? Not cut? You know any more details on it?

check the clearance of your VR sensor, make sure its super tight.

 

funny you ask, i was actually looking into it this morning.

get that and hook it up, but you have to condition a signal to send a 5v signal if i recall correctly. not really easy to do to be honest with ya.

Yeah...that looks a little more complicated than I'm qualified for...lol.oh well...

lol hell i'm not so sure i wanna do it... but its a necessity for Launch control... so sooner or later i'll have to do it.

talk with psu_crash, he put one on his ms.

 

i built a megajolt last year, and it is was much more difficult to build at first since its all surface mount, but after you get the hang of it its not too bad

Well....I decided it was time to put my walbro fuel pump back in and I wasn't sure what fuel pump was actually on my car...Since I bought it as a rolling chasis and it had a good one...Well..here is what I found...Guess this could have been bad...I barely touched it and this happened

I finished building my struts and also need to get a muffler put on..The tractor gig is starting to get old pretty quick...

Are low 12's at WOT that bad? Car seems to be running well...No signs of detonation but want to be sure...timing is pretty conservative so thats why I don't think its an issue right now.

12s are spot on for the kind of boost you are doing :)

The timing is definitely conservative. The reason for that is my knock sensor (MSknocksense) being VERY sensitive. I see blips and I back off timing, so without a pro tweaking it I figure conservative will keep my engine (and yours) in one piece ;)

 

Edit: you should see the tank I just pulled off my car ... I can't believe it didn't eat the pump a lot sooner. The outside of the entire thing is so rusted I can barely find the screws for the sending unit and pickup. Getting them out in one piece is not happening. Inside bottom looks ok. The inside top ... thick scaly rust ... :(

lol...what a f'n deal man. If you look at Pdod's thread he just posted its just the opposite problem. The picture he posted of the magna has alread been modded to get the small u.s. spec hole. It is "originally" the size that his head is...I just did the same thing Chad does.

 

Well...what do you know...I found a pic after we welded it and resurfaced it. The port on the rear is the one that has to be modded. It used to look like the port up front...Does this help??
