still don't know if my trailing works, honestly I don't care right now............. just happy that it runs ! smells like someone frying up some french fries out there

already had the neighbors opening up the doors to see what the hell all that noise was

oh, and pardon the language

damn, that 5 inch open downpipe is loud

thanks for all the help dudes

 

Congrats'!

vid's of the sweet 5" open dp idle please!

 

Video !

Notice all the ethanol pooring out of the Header/Turbo Flange. And all the fuel dripping out of the downpipe. Haha

 

And, sorry about the mess. These past few days have been hell so I've got **** scattered everywhere !

 

Well its about time! Congrats Eric you must feel relived.
It doesnt sound like the trailing is fireing but just do clean up and fix it!

 

Right, I doubt the trailing is firing unless it somehow fixed itself ! Haha, right !

Now, that it's running.......... a big weight has lifted all my shoulders. Whew !

Now, I'll just do some cleaning up, swap out the trailing igniter and go from there.

Thanks for the help Charlie.

 

CONGRATS!!!!

now take out the plugs and look at them....
Remember how many plugs I went through initially..?

I might have lower standards but, either way...that's a pretty smooth idle. .......foreal...

 

are you using any gaskets in your exhaust?

 

Yeah, but I only have two bolts holding the header on and two bolts holding the turbo on the header

I wasn't too worried about that, since I need to send everything off to be ceramic coated.

 

Man, this go's to show you that I suck at wiring. I pulled the injector harness apart this morning and the 12V wire was only hanging on by one strand. So, I re-soldered that, then bought a node set and everything lit up fine. Then, I had somehow lost my leading spark. I traced it down to the haltech connector, I temp patched it but I need to get in there and put a perm fix on it.

Still got some wires wires to go through. Thanks for hanging in there with me last night

I Still have a migraine from earlier, stupid corn fumes got to me

 

No problem homie.

My front primary was on by one strand....that was how I blew my last engine.
That's what I get for using the stock 14 year old wiring.

 

man, I feel for ya....... funny how something so small will turn into a nightmare

I was so excited today, I had to slap on my EEK sticker.

 

congrats man~

 

sheeshhhh. that thing starts better than mine!
congrats man. good to see DOSbox is finally working for ya. that setup is badass!
did the stock waterpump just not clear?
did you adjust the map any or did you already have a MAP for that motor? hows it run with all the plugs firing?

 

Sounds good for the injectors you have!
I went with a friend today tunning his supra on E85 with 6 1600 inj. and it idles ok but low cruse drivability sucks! He has three walbros 10 an fuel lines and a triple disc clutch was fun to drive with the gt-4788. At only 25 lbs it puts you back in the seat hard at 8,000 rpms, but its no rx7!

 

Yes, I was suprised how easily the car started. I emailed Steve Kan, told him what I had and asked him for a startup map. I loaded the map up without making any changes and the car fired right up.

The waterpump would have fit, I thought a electric waterpump would be "Cool" but it turned out to be a money pit in itself. That thing was a pain.

I wish I knew how it ran with all the plugs firing. It was only running on the leading plugs in the video, . I still need to trace down my problem with the trailing not working. So, I'm sure the car will run much smoother with another set of sparklers.

 

With the amount of fuel that was dripping out of the header, turbo and downpipe.......... I'm suprised the car even ran, on two plugs.

Did you see all the fluid dripping out in the video ?

Man, you have some hardcore supras where you live. STL is full of 12 second missles.

 

Just a FYI, I ran the car again late this afternoon for about 3-4 minutes to let it warm up. I put my hand on the top/center iron of the motor. It was luke warm and I can't say that it was any warmer than before I started it. I must have alot of E85 pumping through that little motor.

 

Congrats Eric.

 

Are you getting all your odds and ends finished up ?

 

nice mate
Diggin the water pump setup

 

Thanks man

 

Just waiting on some dyno time. It should be on the 4th or the 9th. I only have to finish the elbow for the TB, wire a few things, and pour some methanol in the tank.
