You can also listen for this sound coming out of the exhaust ports, but it's not a good measure of compression, it just makes sure that none of the side or apex seals are totally gone... if you are missing one noise then a side seal is gone, if you're missing 2, then 2 or more side seals and/or an apex seal could be gone, etc....

It's still best to do an actual compression test with a compression tester.

 

The air puff test is a Yes/No test. It gives you no numbers and is just a desperation measure for when you're outta moves...

 

My car will be back home from Kearney's tomorrow! Time for some shakedown runs at Capitol Friday night.

 

dude, make some shakedown runs at VIR.

 

nothing wrong with the car. I think the header is kinda clogged. But other than that nothing.

 

Anyone doing anything on friday? I'd like to have a small "megasquirt install party" at my house.

 

I'm game but only if I can get up there after I get off work.

and you have to come to my megasquirt install party

 

ok


Oh, I checked baynesville electronics and couldn't find a couple parts for the megasquirt, so I would recommend just buying parts online.

 

Which probably means no install party huh...

 

It's still on :P
my dad said he'd pay for next day fed-ex

I hope to have the other board done tomorrow (I'm going to baynesville to pickup a copper coated board and some etching solution.)

 

ooo party! i wanna go!

 

Ken, can ya post up that URL or PDF for the Dual LM1815 board? I got a sheet of 9x12 0.030 Thick FR4...

Hey man, change that user text.

 

Did you get the board layout?

EDIT: Here Marcus Sundin's Board layout:

It is 25 x 100 mm: http://www.speakeasy.org/~culverk/Marcus_dualvr.pdf

This is as you would see it on the side where the copper is... (looking at the bottom of the board) Black is where the copper should stay, white is where it should be etched away.

 

to what size should I layout the board?
I know pdf's scale.

For megasquirt, you need a megasquirt kit, a vr sensor conditioner, and a few other random goodies...

Or I can build it for you for $320

Is that just the engine or the whole car?.. :-D

Why would they change to a Corvette from a TransAm? (Aside from the obvious lighter, faster, better handling...)
