don't you have to go to driver's school?

 

Yes, but you can still start doing the auto-x, etc with a stockish car (and move classes as you build it towards your spec rx7 goal).

anyways... bbiaf. going home.

 

Alright guys, I've gone EFI! Now we're all on the same page. Got a '85 GSL-SE. Now the problem is the car idles around 3-4k and does not come down. Help a brotha out.

 

my car used to idle at 2k cause the throttle cable was too tight

your TB plates might not be closing all the way too.

 

hey BigPimpin, are you the guy with the FB at the meet?

 

I'll check that tomorrow. Thanks!

 

Hire me to build you a shop!!omfg0rz!

 

haha, would you give them a discount or better yet, let them pay you by working on your 7

 

HAX!!!

 

well after all the wiring was checked on the haltech it still would not fire last night. We have good spark, plugs are good, and we are getting very little fuel inner but just won't kick over. Damn e6X should of bought a used e6K

 

Yeh, you should have gotten an E6K. I've not heard good things about the E6X, since mike told me about them and all.

I've officially moved in to college park

Don't knock it, thats VERY useful, and saves an incredable amount of time.

 

Well.. right now it seems the main thing is what to put in the shop once we find one.. right?.. Then have to find out how much the shop costs.. and the tools we need costs.. and good places to get them..

 

so this shop idea is really serious eh?, i'll ask my dad and his buds where we can get some good price on tools

 

I can't believe you let this slip by, he should've gotten a Megasquirt! I can't wait till tonight, time to tune that 'vert!

Wee, new roomie and a new pet cat to torment

 

haha, that's the scariest smiley I've ever seen

 

I should have got a microtech with the heads up display so you don't have to carry a laptop with you. Went with haltech because I thought it would simplify things but that did not go as planned

 

As far as the shop goes, I started running numbers and stuff about a year ago to start a shop. I've run a business before that isn't doing to shabby now days. So I could do alot of the paperwerk and legistics along with werking on the cars. And I got Audi and VW covered like a jimmy hat!

 

Is anything off topic in this thread? I think I just figured out why mazda made the redline on the FC so low... even though mechanically it could've been higher.

Their single leading wasted spark coil hits too high of a duty cycle if the dwell is set to something that'll create good sparks. I'm hoping that with the megasquirt, a dwell of 2.5 ms will work alright, b/c that'll allow jason to go to 8500 rpms with a duty cycle of about 85% (with a max spark discharge of .5 ms). Does anyone know if the stock leading coil on an FC will produce a decent spark with a dwell of 2.5 ms?

 

gayed by DP...

 

anyone going to tonights Redsox game. I will be their tonight and tomorrow night.

 

isn't jason going to be changing his coils pretty soon anyway? I thought he was going to go with some crane cam coils.

EDIT: post 700

 

last year I loved driving to Camden yards to see the sox play. The best part was the looks I got and the parents of kids that we crying because my car was so loud inside the parking garage.

 

haha, yeah, I love picking up people at BWI in my car.... my car sounds amazing in the big tunnel thing

 

Those coils might not work ... not unless the crane cams unit is capable of controlling 2 coils instead of one, and capable of deciding which to spark.. (or if it's capable of running the 2 of them in parallel, and duplicating the stock wasted spark system).

Since the crane cams unit does dwell for you, worst case we can just wait till that is in before we rev that high... but I was hoping to tune to where he wants to rev before putting in the crane cams (and we can't rev that high yet anyway until he gets his electric air-pump setup done so we can open the aux ports and actuate the vdi).

EDIT: just did some research, and it looks like the hi-6/fireball can control jason's lx92 coils in parallel.. so I guess we'll switch to those after we get the fuel tuned, and aux/vdi set up

 

jason, hurry up you need to get your car finished so we can start on mine
