Finally have the TL dialed In!!!
Finally have the TL dialed In!!!
After going for who knows how long with a ristricted IC water circuit, the car is finnally dialed in
!!!
Having issues with the engine pinging, because of the IC water hose being pinched off, which I didn't know about until later, read on, I added more fuel just to get it to run without detonation. This yeilded another problem, missfires. So I replaced the spark plugs. Then tehy fouled out a short time there after
:angry: ! After a bit of troubleshooting I found the problem in the IC water circuit.
I decided to order about $180 worth of AN fittings and a $175 water pump to the IC system. This took care of the water circuit for good :wink: . But, I still had another problem, the missfires. After a little research on the web; missfires, caused by fouling (too rich) or incorrect heat range. Well with the IC doing it's job I knew it wasn't a heat issue, but a fouling problem. So I order yet another set of plugs, $80+. I set the fuel regulator where it should be, not maxed out but at 35 psi at idle, and remapped the E-Manage yet again with way less fuel. The car flat out simply hauls ass now
. And for the first time I can actually smell the catalytic convertor working, rotten egg smell. Oh yeah, I want a rematch with that M3 I ran with on the freeway a couple of days ago!!! :evilgrin:

if your cat is working you should not smell any rotten egg smell..... if you have an exhaust cut-out, check it for leaks.... if you do not , check for an exhaust leak before the cat convertor... YOU SHOULD NOT smell any smells.... unless you mufflers are brand new.

Now that I know I won't be wasting my money on a Dyno, very soon
. The car pulls hard now
. 2k rpm at 80 mph pulls just as hard as 2k rpm does in second gear :frikkinfreighttrainwoohoo!!!:

Hey NiteQwill, had problems with my E-mail, had to send a couple to get you the pics. Anyway, don't bash the bungee cords on my IC tank. I'm working on getting some type of strap to hold it in place

Glad to hear she is up and running again, and all problems are solved, minus the bungee cords
