Man, I just read through this entire thread at one time. Sounds like it's been fun. Glad to see most things worked out from the beginning. Hope everything comes together without costing too much. So what was your total price on all of the parts before you started the install?

 

i dont really have a figure on how much it costed because i bought the stuff when i had extra $$. then once i had most of the parts, i had to get a bunch of little fittings and random stuff. i wish i woulda added it all up then.

 

good news is that i called the place were i got my egt from and they are sending me a new sender for free. so ill keep everyone updated on what happens.
a friend of mine wants me to take it to the track this weekend, but now with this happening i dont think i should go through with it.........
id rather be safe then sorry

 

Yeah, track driving will be hard on the car so I'd wait till everything is safe and sound before you push it that hard. Just to be safe.

 

well i went out and bought a compression tester and heres the results
195, 200, 196, 194

that makes me happy to see that, haha. so now im hoping that its my egt sender

 

What brand do u have? if its zeitronix, ill send you mine for a nice discount. I am looking to go egtless and it only has about 600 miles on it.

 

i have a zeitronix wideband, but some other egt gauge. how hard is it to hook it up with the wideband? also dont i need the display? how much? send me a pm

 

well i replaced the egt sender(probe). and everything is back to normal. by normal i mean the same reading i got when i first installed it

 

update: i just got back from doing a little fine tuning with ecuflash. i went out on my break from school and did a datalog and i hit 4 or 5 boxes of 12:1 afrs. haha, so i just richened it up .1-.2 on both fuel maps to keep it consistent and now im running 11.2's in that same area! the highest i hit on a 3rd gear pull is 11.6 which isnt that bad at all

i was also looken at my boost this time becasue i was able to have someone in the car with me. i hit 6 then it creeps up to 8ish, i thought it was spiken but now i think its creeping. any ideas? maybe its just set to 8?

spark pulgs make a world of difference! changed them out last week, it made me run a little leaner, and it pulls a lot better then before. for $8 a set(bkr7e) from advanced, im gunna be changen them often

 

well i was able to go to the track today and lay down some times slips. right now my car is a 15 sec car. i wanted to break into the 14.90's but the track shut down. my 60ft times are horrible, so i need to do a little tweaking here and there.

PS, im looking into new internals......i want to run more boost. haha

 

where in the 15s are you? You get those 60 ft times lower and you could drop your time a lot.

 

im in the low 15"s. around 15.1.
what would be the way to go, to get my 60 ft times down?

 

DRAG RADIALS and some suspension! lol

Oh amd more damn boost lol. Maybe you can let me drive you car next time we go back at the track lol.

 

haha, more boost and it will go, it likes to spike on me. around 10. haha, never has gone past that, but it still runs like a champ.

so when you going to throw some money my way for the tires? i know you albanians have tons of money. haha

 

Set that bish to 20psi lol itll be fine. Your traps will look way better lol.

No all albanians are poor lol. Thats why I got a evo instead of a Z06 lmao
