Its Alive! Alive!
Well, I finally got my car running again. I blew the engine around Thanksgiving and have been acquiring parts and working on the car as time permits.
Here is a list of upgrades. New Engine from Malloy A-Spec GT35R Kit Fuel Kit 550/1680 FJO injector Driver Coolingmist Trunk mount AI Datalogit Innovate LC1 wideband Coil pack Relocation Wiring Harness simplification Rats nest removal Fuel pump rewire Fan Mod with Factory fog light switch Fluidyne Radiator Oil catch can ETC. The car started the first try and after some TPS work would idle. I drove it to a local car meet and it drew a large crowd. The car is running pig rich with AFRs at 10.2 at cruise and dips to the 9's with slight throttle input. I will start logging this weekend and pull some fuel out. I would like to thank GoodfellaFD3S arghx djseven Howard Coleman dudemaaanownsanrx7 lerch32 cewrx7r1 and probably 100 other people that I didn't list. I couldn't have done it without you. I will try and post some pics this weekend. |
Congrats! I'm still working on mine, hopefully in a few weeks.

post your map and some logs, with the wideband wired into the Datalogit. what did you set your base fuel pressure to? Also, make sure you have the primary injector atomization port hooked up.
|
Congrats, I'm waiting for my single to put my car back on the road for the second time this summer, lol.
|
I will try to post some log info this weekend. I have my fuel pressure set at 38psi and unfortunately I had all of my unused vacuum ports welded shut which included the atomization port. I have another lim if this causes too much of a problem.

94touringFD I read about your turbo mishap. I hope you get your car going soon.

Thanks, It sucks that most of the rotary guys are in middle and east TN, but I will try to get up there for a meet some day.
Funny you should say that. I thought all of the rotary guys were in middle to west TN! :lol: Location here is Knoxville. BTW, Congrats on getting your car going again! :) |

I still need to tidy up some vaccum lines and get some flex couplings for some of the IC piping.

Ooooh! Nice! I like very much! :)
Here is a shot of mine. A little different than yours right now. |
ditch the plastic vacuum tee
and I would avoid any angled silicone couplers. They don't hold up that well over time. |

I did some dataloging today and ran into a problem. I can see the AFR numbers on mapwatch but when I stop loging and save the file and then try to reopen the numbers disappear. The mapwatch files contains the red cells where the log info was but no numbers. I would also like to post my map on the forum but it wont allow me to post that file type. Any suggestions?
