You have a PM Thanks

 

Well depending on if you decide on a larger turbo, I might be interested in your HTA Green. I won't be doing my upgrade till next year. Just thought I'd throw that out.

 

buchner,
lookin at that ethanol sensor tonight, and damn its gonna be a treat to try to mount that bulky *** thing.

if you dont mind me asking. how much did it cost you and what was the rationale behind that purchase? my question is not to be taken disrespectfully, Im legitimately curious as to why you'd want to know the e% as opposed to afrs.

 

I went with the gauge so I could definitively tell when the fuel switched from 77-85 or so so i could update the map on the car. It was really not needed, just nice to have and a good check as to wether or not I have e85 in the tank too, my dad drives it on a blue moon so it also is a good check as to what map to use. It is big as hell, I told jason he would have fun with that little toy, but I am interested to see how it works out. Somewhere on the firewall? Did you take a look under the hood, what do you think? I got the longer wiring harness, but that really isn't the problem, the problem is rerouting the fuel lines and not making them longer as to disrupt the pressure. I was going to come up tomorrow at some point, anxious to see what the final product will be, you going to be there?

edit: another thing too is that with the outputs from that display you can have it electronically control the map selection based on e% in the fuel, all you need is a little logic board with an electric switch, so if I was so motivated I could build it so that I would never have to worry about switching maps, the control would do that just based on the e% in the fuel that is running through the lines.... so, all of those reasons, plus it is a cool little toy... No offense taken at all, I really appreciate all the help you have offered me, if it wasn't for you I would have never gone up to get it on the dyno, and never have gotten this far building her up...

 

I actually did get a wideband too, and am looking into A/F gauges too, just something i can keep out of sight, but look at if necessary. I was going for a while without one, but I caved and went with it. Looking around for a good built 2.0l shortblock, im on the edge though, want to see the numbers tomorrow before committing to one...

 

the fuel lines shouldn't be an issue. rather that placing the sensor on the feed line before the fuel rail, i think its gonna be mounted off the return line. thereby still reading the ethanol content, but not messing with fuel distribution or volume.

car looks strong, im curious to see what it does too

 

yes that sensor is made to go on the return line - not the feed

 

Holiday, was that you I saw in Plum/Monroeville yesterday on my way home around 420pm?

 

Well, the sensor is in and running great. Replaced the plugs and whatnot and she is all ready for her first pull n E85 tomorrow afternoon. I have been trying to run her out of gas here tonight so it will be completely out by the time i get to J&S tomorrow, then jason said we'd put 2 gallons of E85 in and put a base tune on it to get rid of any of the 93 still in the lines/tank, then drive it to the station in Monroeville and fill it all the way up. Tomorrow I will try and post up the graphs of the before/after E85 conversion and see what you guys think.

 

ya twas me. i was headed to el campasino to meet the gf for some mexican

 

nothing like some el camps at 4:20

 

thought so, I definitely want to check your car out one of these days. I heard it's pretty mean.

 

congrats bushner on the new numbers. siiiiick

 

Everyones thoughts? I am shopping around for a built 2.0 L so we can get some more out of her, but for now I just ordered a JDM rear bumper and an oil catch, and a greddy profec 2 so that I can have two boost settings just by pushing the button, one for the corn, the other just regular 93. Jason and I couldn't figure out what the bump in the torque and HP curve is around 5200, we think it has something to do with the MIVEC map, any remedies? thoughts?

As always, the guys at J&S are the best around, the money I spent having them tune it was by far the best money I have put into the car to date...

 

somebody read my mind
