Re: Overdrive (again)

Beez, It's been working perfectly. I found out later on that the OD unit by way of serial number, was from a Volvo 740 Turbo. This had 180 HP! I found another off Ebay only a few K away (serial number) for $175 as a backup. So..... I'm not too concerned about robustness. I have an oversize sump and ...

Re: MRAP 24 volt Warn winch

Looks great. I like the modifications you did. Also like the red color.

Re: ITB Fuel Injection System

I can't get anything past this crowd !! I know, I forgot the "e" !! ha ha

I'll do a write up on the EFI for those that are interested.

I have some extra cnc parts. It would be nice to refine this with another owner.

rmel,

I designed and fabricated a custom intake manifold with cylinders 2 and 3 crossed over to match the runners lengths of 1 and 4.

ITB Fuel Injection System

I've finished designing and building an independent throttle body injection and sequential ignition system. So far it's working great. I just have to finish tuning and get dyno results. More details to follow.

Re: Padlock for tool/battery box

These brass Masterlock's fit perfectly. No rattle, shackle is completely covered. It's like they are made for it. Good idea about covering the key hole!

Re: ECU/EFI adjustments Trail versus HWY

Ron, I'll send you a PM with my email address. I would love to see your tuning data. The actual VE numbers will not correlate necessarily but the ratios can be interpreted. Can't you simply change your target VE table to achieve the richer numbers and still run the closed loop to achieve mileage whe...

Re: ECU/EFI adjustments Trail versus HWY

Great info! Thanks. I've been tuning to achieve 14.7 under most conditions. I had no idea that I should go that rich. I have a Wideband up the tail-pipe as well as narrow-bands on all four cylinders, so I can see right away the mix. I would like to see your timing curve. I'm still having trouble wit...

I'm running the new Megasquirt 3 PRO. It's incredibly versatile for running fully a sequential ITB system.

Looking for Dyno in S.F. Bay area

I'm finally approaching the end of my ITB EFI project and have worked most of the bugs out of the tune. Now I need to run some WOT draws on a dyno. Does anyone know of a shop that can rack a 712, preferably in the SF Bay area?

Thanks

Re: OIL-LEAKS: the pinz-bane

Along these lines. I have replaced my oil pan gasket twice with no luck. I first used 3M yellow weatherstrip and gasket maker; let it develop a skin and assembled, using moderate torque. Leaked like a sieve. All surfaces scraped and cleaned. Next, Permatex spray on gasket seal. Same results. Using S...

Re: Dizzy advance lockout

OK, I figured it out. Do not remove distributor. Remove points top plate (3 screws around the outside body). Remove weights and use shorter springs to lock
the shaft into static position. Remove vacuum line and block off port.
