Re: C303 Electric fan conversion
Below is the Temp log from my EFI computer. This log was started at about 5pm sunday 8-7-16. The route took me from my house out to the George Bush Tollway here in North Dallas. The majority of hte run was on the tollway to work the truck above 60mph. Max speed was 72MPH on GPS (over-sized tires hel...

Re: Fuel Injection Patton style
That's what I was afraid of, changes in the GM ECM depending on whatever reason. Looks like I'm stuck with waiting till I get mine to know what to order. Have you ever had a look at the ECM addons from DynamicEFI? It seems to bring new features (such as bigger maps) to the GM ECM and especially fla...

Re: Fuel Injection Patton style
Burner2 was on the short list (if no universal burner could be used). With such an adaptor? http://www.moates.net/gp1-package-gm-adapter-with-2-chips-p-41.html Or that kind? http://www.moates.net/gx-switching-adapter-for-28pin-sockets-p-87.html http://www.moates.net/g2x-tbitype-switching-adapter-p-...

Re: Fuel Injection Patton style
I would get the Burner 2 from Moates. You will need a universal chip to reprogram unless you want to buy a UV eraser so you can use factory chips. I am also using a zif socket so I can swap chips easily and quickly.Klug wrote: Is a standard EPROM burner OK?

Re: C303 Electric fan conversion
I guess it means the GM ECM can not control the fan? No, the GM computer does not control the fan. However there are some work arounds that will let you do it with the GM computer but it's not ideal. I am using a Derale PWM fan controller now. The electric fan runs very rarely at more than 50% unle...

Re: Fuel Injection Patton style
Rick said he could not modify a C303 genuine distributor (Bosch-based and not Lucas-based), I'll double check that with him. I do not recall, but I could have sworn he offered when i originally bought my kit. I have to dig a bit more about that coax... The IAC is not mandatory, as far as I remember...

Re: Fuel Injection Patton style
Hello. I have a zillion questions! 8) I'm currently talking with Rick about a kit for my Vattenfall (and Claes for parts and Martin/Tiagra for brakes). Things are eventually moving after letting the truck in a barn for several years. One of the question is the ability for the ECM to handle E85 (Eth...

Re: Fuel Injection Patton style
That SDS system is interesting. I like the redundant options that pulled over from experimental aircraft. Having the ability to data log in detail is a bonus for sure. I expect to regions the cam eventuall and port and polish the head so being able to log easily will be great. But if you have yours ...

Re: Fuel Injection Patton style
It has been running on the fuel injection for quite some time now, more specifically since October 3rd as I recall. You data log with the EFI computer so it allows you to see what the engine is doing. After you data log you can use the info you recorder to modify the fuel tables. I use protuner whic...

Re: Fuel Injection Patton style
No real particular order to these, some are older than others.Please feel free to ask about any of it. One major note is the coaxial pipe fittings I made. I built a coax pipe fitting for vacuum that the map sensor and the IAC connect to. I also built a coax fuel return pipe. And by coax of course I ...

Re: Parabolic springs anyone?
There are a few companies here in the states that can make the springs. If he would share the specs we can look at smaller runs.

The LR world has been doing them for a very long time now. They work very well but do have some trade offs. It's all about the lens

Re: amp regulator?
I am picking up my new 24V 140A one wire alternator tomorrow. Ran me $190 and should drop in just like the stock SEV Marchal. Of course the voltage regulator etc will go away at this point and I will only have one wire to the battery and one wire to the charge light.
