    PICS! Cheap EGR capping and sensor rigging - smog removal

    So has anyone thrown a multimeter across the sensor in question to find out exactly what kind of sensor it is? surely it would be much neater just to have a resistor, or similar, going across two points, that messing around with caps and such? Arggh, I detest not having a car to work on, I'm...

    Tweecer datalogging - necessary?

    Turbo'ing it would be far too easy for us, this project is all about stepping out of the comfort zone :) We're going to start with a single 3", and we'll let the dyno show us if bigger is better...

    Tweecer datalogging - necessary?

    We're not fussed about whether the stock block lets go, since ultimately it's being binned in favour of a ford motor that you folk wouldn't be familiar with, which is the 4.0 turbo motor from a Australian BA Ford Falcon XR6T - that's another story though. We're aiming for 400whp without...

    Tweecer datalogging - necessary?

    At this point we're looking at going to around a NA build, 10:1 compression, and a much higher rev-limit, I'm still getting my head round a lot of the terminology used with these engines, like with cams, heads, etc we're accustomed to buying based on spec, lift, duration, etc - where a lot of...

    Tweecer datalogging - necessary?

    So only 16 degree's advance beyond the base? Yikes, our Mirage was running 37 degree's of advance@8000rpm/19psi - no wonder the 5.0 only makes 35hp/litre This is all good info, one of these days I'll remember to buy another cartridge for our printer so I can store it...

    Tweecer datalogging - necessary?

    We usually bin any narrow band o2's in the cars we build - they're only any use for light-throttle cruise tuning, which is the complete opposite of why we open the hood in the first place :) Knock sensors are your friend, it's all about where you position the sensor(very important), what...

    Tweecer datalogging - necessary?

    I could be wrong here, since the car isin't even in my hands yet, but the factory ecu does have its limitations with regards to the limits it can handle in the rpm department, something which a pms/tweecer wouldn't be able to remedy. For what it is, the megasquirt offers all the essential...

    Tweecer datalogging - necessary?

    Hmm, aux inputs would be handy, would you know whether they're capable of measuring a knock sensor output, variable resistance, etc - or is it just voltage output based sensors? sorry about the acronyms, I assumed they would be the same across brands :-) IDC(Injector Duty Cycle) IPW(Injector...

    Tweecer datalogging - necessary?

    ok, am just considering buying one of these as a stopgap until we decide what aftermarket ecu to run, and for the life of me, I just can't justify getting a RT model, purely because I consider the datalogging function to be not terribly helpful when I think about it - 1. There's no knock...

    Voltage is Everywhere

    Normally if it's the regulator, the voltage will go through the roof, popping fuses, boiling the battery, etc - sinceit regulates the voltage down, not up. I'd say either belt slip, bad connections, or a bad alternator.

    FS #6600 ...engines out! (pics)

    Just a few tips (a bit late now but I figure it'll be handy for searchers in the future) with regards to Engine bays, sound proofing removal, and unwanted holes: 1. Cleaning the engine bay - a few cans of the cheapest de-greaser you can find, combined with a pressure sprayer, or ideally a...

    Digital Video Cams

    Firewire is your friend, it makes editing a breeze, and is the main format that the big software makers use for video capture. firewire cards are super cheap, that's assuming your pc doesn't have the ports on the motherboard. Cameras that rely on a USB connection generally are annoying...

    What exactly does calibrated for 24# mean?

    When you have a Factory MAF, when the ecu receives the signal it's airflow is based on the assumption that there is a set volume that can flow through it, a MAF that has been 'calibrated' for bigger injectors is just the same sensor, but with a proportionally greater volume, so in the case of a...

    Need help cotacting member.

    Just jump on a plane/train/bus and go visit him, even 3 months is far too long, by that point the travel cost should be justified by the satisfaction of confronting him in person... Think of it this way, if I can have a car sent to me, by boat, from the other side of the world in 19 days...

    Oil Change

    Even on a regular change, short of dropping the sump and cleaning it manually, the best way to tackle sludge, etc is to use pre-change flush/devarnishing additives so it all gets bound up in the filter, with repeated uses you can usually get everything nice and clean.

    Anyone running Iridium spark plugs on a supercharged motor?

    Stick to the standard NGK's, Iridiums and Platinums are a waste of money when it comes to forced induction. Iridiums & Platinums are intended to last as long as possible under normal conditions, they don't like the torment that boost brings.
