Thread: Even more build woes...

Congratulations bro! That's a nice lopey idle. I'm sure its gonna be a killer once its all tuned up.

glad to see its finally up and running

Well, finally running, but still not running right Thought my wideband was defective, so I borrowed an NGK from my friend's shop, and the AFR's were still uber lean, even though I smell like a lawnmower after sitting in the car only for a minute.

I'm thinking that fuel is definitely not getting burnt properly. Wifey even said there's black smoke coming out of the tailpipe when I rev it hard. So now I need to go back and look at plugs, see if they're wet or anything.

^^ making me think about my swap. i might just stick with a simple set up for now.

Nah don't fret it Kea. It's just my luck with this car, tbh. I've ALWAYS had worse luck than normal with the car. If you remember correctly, even the simple build with a T25 yielded NUMEROUS errors, due to a block that was re-built poorly.

I was kidding

I would definetely look into the Zeitronix. Nathan has one and after looking at it and talking to him, I would choose it over my LM-1. I can't remember which one he has, it isn't the gauge style, it has a digital screen. You can have my LM-1 if you decide not to get the Zeitronix

AEM's working as well as it should be, so I'm keeping it for now. Eventually I'll end up replacing it.

I don't know if Zeitronix works with logworks, I've never heard of it, but Zeitronix has their own software that's really killer. It won't log the whole ECU, AFAIK, but I would be willing to bet that Logworks will work with multiple systems. Anyway, the zeitronix is all in one and controls for AFR, boost, EGT, and a user input, as well as logging tps, and rpm... i love mine...

Also, there are two types of gauge, I just got the 52mm one, but I've had both the digital screen as well as the pocketlogger software on my palm. The 52mm is new, but it's friggin cool... here's a pic...

What are everyone's thoughts on thundervolt wires? Someone mentioned to me that there may be an issue with the stock distributor setup driving enough juice thru the plug wires to the plugs?

I haven't really heard of anyone having these issues, so speak up if you know otherwise!

Thanks
