Still have some small things to do this week; such as a few odds and ends for wiring and exhaust. I just got it started today check it out.

Sounds nice. Gives me more determination to get my project underway. Love the black Intake Mani...looks awesome

 

Thanks, its powdercoated flat black but it has a bit of wrinkle to it.

 

wow! that sounds awesome! Nice work!!!

 

Very nice. Congrats.

 

What ecu are you running?

 

EFI Technology

 

Hmmm never heard of that one before. It's research time.

 

Is that a good intake manifold to use N/A?

 

No, but who said it was staying n/a

 

Which one are you using? I go to their website and drool over the 4.0 on a weekly basis

 

Its an older ECU from them (ie 1997), its the Race 2.1 version, i'm currenting running into issues with the ignition signal output though, when they preprogam these ECU's they do it to the users application, the last motor this was on was a ported 20B with a MSD 7AL ignition box that used a rising edge pulse for its trigger, i have this ECU running 3 FC leading coils for ignition; FC coils are falling edge trigger. So it will run but will break up at around 3K rpm. Basicly saying, my only word of caution with some of their ECU's is the fact that theres not a whole lot you can change for truely basic settings, such as: Your basic engine type, ignition triggering, and other basic thigns along this line) they build these ECUs to spec and embed the code into the unit.

 

Damn ecu talk is so confusing. I'll figure it out one of these days.

 

so you're running no timing split? doesnt sound too difficult...


what were the major problems you ran into?

 

Putting the motor in the car and making it run

 

thanks for that valuable insight.

 

If the ECU requires firing on the rising edge, why not run all MSD boxes into the stock FC leadings?

The MSD boxes all fire on the rising edge, so this would be the "cheap" way to solve your problem.

Yeah should have said something about it, but that was the fix. Just ordered in a MSD DIS-4 unit and it works great. Just driving it around, tuning as i go.

 

Nice! Sounds good...

Our shop dog (at my day job...computer tech) is a Border Collie as well. Are you not worried about damaging his/her hearing with such loud noises?

 

Nah, plus that was one of the 3 or 4 times we started it up that way anyways, it has a nice quiet exhaust now.

 

So I just got a ride in this beast and it pulls HARD. Way better feeling than my modded t2..............


...i'm craving displacement, damn you bcool.

Thanks to RXTASY1 for making this video, he just made a short clip when i took him for a ride today. As you can tell some tuning still needs to be done.

 

Nice Thanks for sharing. What exhaust system are you using?
