Fired it up!!

[classic boost]

finally! i switched from blow-thru to efi, and got to fire it up saturday. it started right up. the big magnafuel pump makes a little bit of racket, but not too bad. i'm running straight ethanol this year.
as expected, i had the 1st start gremlins. thankfully, i've addressed all of those issues. i can't start it up today since my boy has a ball game, so i have to wait to tomorrow to do some more tuning.

Should run good...

 

[jikelly]

How much boost are you planing on running?

 

[10secgoal]

Ethanol ?1 No more E-85, or are you going to give it a whirl....different tunes ?

 

[classic boost]

no more e85. i got a line on the good stuff, so i'll just stick with that. white lightning, baby!!! lol. the fuel rails sure get cold.
i'll run the 20psi i ran in the past.

i didn't get a whole lot accomplished saturday, just added fuel. didn't get much past idle. i'll be at it tomorrow.

 

[jikelly]

Wow 20 psi. That should make killer power!!

Sweet. Just boost then ?

 

[classic boost]

yeah, just boost. if i need any more, then i'm doing something wrong.

Yeahya. Cool. Hurry up. I need to live through yours for a while !

 

[iskwezm]

what set up did you go with and what the $$$$ amount???

 

[classic boost]

accel thruster ~$1,400. then add tb, manifold, injectors, rails, ect, ect, ect. my ass hurts.

Sooooo, you throw aways your drill set yet ?haha

 

[iskwezm]

I was thinking of this.
comments??

 

[classic boost]

i have the same intake and tb as pictured.
as long as it comes with enough pump & injector, and has a 2 or 3 bar map, then you're ready to go. the xfi is a good unit.

Sooooo, you throw aways your drill set yet ?haha

lol! not yet, i just started tuning!

 

[classic boost]

update:
drove it yesterday. put alot off miles on it working on the ve table. buddy piloted it, and i stroked the keys. 4psi felt good. baby steps.
i would've got more done, but i couldn't keep alternators in it. the 2nd one lasted only 20 minutes. damn autozone. my fault.
anyways, i got it to start up cold, and it cruises at varies speeds at 14.5af.

You're tuning it on alcohol and still having it display gasoline AFRs, right? 14.5 is a touch rich, so I would expect it to tolerate 14.7-15.0 at light load cruising....probably with some healthy timing advance too.

One more thing...

Video or it didn't happen!
