    Help!!! Starter won't engage

    oops, i'm retarded.:doh: when i said power wire to the alternator, i meant power wire to the starter. how is the connection at the starter?

    where to go for a tune?

    playing with the timing might help out a lot. is it still running shltty?

    how do I heat up a harmonic balancer??

    my pioneer sfi balancer from strokermotor.com didn't need to be heated. it slid on easier than a condom.

    yeah, my bad. don't know how i came up w/that at first.:doh:

    Tweecer problems...already...

    EDIT: when the found new hardware wizard asks to install software, tell it you want to specify where to look for the software. then find the STKR directory in which you installed the other tweecer software. then open the driver folder. then it should find the driver. hope that works!

    CF=1.18*29.22/BDO*TO+460/537-0.18 now that i took a second look at that formula, i think the dynojet dude may have read it incorrectly. the 29.22 means 29.22 mmHg. 460 corresponds to 0 degrees fahrenheit which is equivalent to 460 rankine (other temp scale). 537 corresponds to 77 degrees...

    of course. the correction factor is dependant on the temperature. the higher the ambient air temperature, the higher the correction factor.

    i'm assuming that actually is the room air temp since there is no other temp in the formula. and it does have a standard!!!! that's why you have to input the actual temperature into the correction formula!!! to correct for the temp in the room!!!

    actually, the car was dynoed just out of the twin cities in minnesota. i don't know the elevation. you didn't really make sense in that post. you are right that the corrections brought my numbers up. both my sae and std numbers were higher than my raw numbers. your logic is right, but you...

    Help!!! Starter won't engage

    i recently had a problem w/my starter not turning on. my problem was as simple as the power wire to the alternator not making good contact even though the little harness was plugged in. hopefully your problem is this simple! it's worth checking out, anyway.

    tweecer

    954 is most likely kg/hr. i saw a peak of about 950 kg/hr for my maf on my final dyno run.

    the maf transfer function directly affects a/f ratio, but i don't know exactly how much it will change it compared to the stock curve. when i was on the dyno, we adjusted the maf transfer function by different percentages at different rpms to richen it up more or less at different points. it...

    at 6200rpm in 4th on the dyno i saw 950 kilograms/hour. actually, i think you might be right, grady. the comp certainly interpolates some values (like the maf transfer above), and if your datalogs show smooth curves, it must be interpolating. my tuner probably assumed it worked like the older...

    and if the word directly from dynojet weren't enough, let's think about this ourselves: my SAE numbers were 334/309. on that day, the temp was in the mid 80s and it was pretty humid. therefore, my actual power would be lower than the corrected sae values (i think they are 70 degrees and dry...

    jake, on my last dyno run, i saw 84 load (120% load) at 2600, up to 99 load (126% load) at 4700, and back down to 84 load (120% load) at 6000. compared to a datalog from a few weeks ago on a backroad, those numbers are close to equal in the 4000 and up range, but up to 6 high at 2600 (that is...

    LET US FINALLY PUT THIS TO REST. i just got off the phone w/a dynojet rep. on their 1-800 number. he said that STD and SAE are both correction factors for different standard atmospheric conditions. STD is outdated because it isn't really used anymore by any major manufacturer/magazine/etc...

    my tuner said i should be shift very close to 6000. the idea is to get the most area under the curve for each gear. someone here has a spreadsheet that calculates shift points based on dyno graphs...

    killer, thanks! as far as timing goes, i learned that having the timing advanced 34 or 35 degrees across the board is not good. i gained be lowering the timing to 27 degrees at 2000 and gradually increasing the advance to 32 at 5000. as the tuner said, it's always a good thing when you can...

    so tom, if std are the actual numbers for the current conditions (and yes, the dyno has a weather station away from the heat of the car and any fan and the exhaust is taken out of the room through hoses), what do the raw numbers represent? i know you are a very knowledgeable source here, and...
