  1. Looking great on Android 2.1
  2. run a line from your compressor to the bottom port on the Greddy and you will get a slightly faster response time.

    5.7, is a NATO round now? 5.56 aka .223rem 7.62 aka .308win

    5.7x28 and.....

    its hard telling from that angle. 45gap? 45acp?
  6. this is the same thing And most GM AIT sensors are the same thing. They operate on a range or -40 - 300*F and I am not sure of the signal.
  7. I sold all my gauges and bought the Zeitronix system. I figured it was the best way to go and not have 6 gauges in the car. Shop around and they are easy to find cheap. Seems people buy them and run scared when they see the wiring for them, when really its simple. I picked mine up new in the box for $225 shipped of craigslist. It came with the ZT-2 and the lcd display along with the egt probe and a map sensor. The only problem was that the map was a 3 bar and the Zeitronix doesnt have scaling for the 3 bar, only 3.5, 5 and 10. So I ordered a 5 bar from an ebay vendor for $60 shipped.
  8. A lot of measuring and trusting the grinder himself. I told him to shoot for more mid range tq and top end. Lets face it, its a street car and I use 3-5k rpm more than I use 1-3 or 5-7. If I remember right it came out to 10.5mm of lift and 270* duration intake and 10mm x 270*. Ill get back with the grinder and see what it was exactly.
  9. Im using the stock turbo exhaust cam and the NA intake cam and cam gear. Its only temparary till my custom cams are done. Then I will just use the turbo cam gears. But until then i would like to have the timing right. :D
  10. So it would "behove" someone to use the turbo cam gears? I am using the NA intake cam and the turbo exhaust set at 4-4. So my intake is closer to 0 or -1? On the intake temp sensors try this website, My link I am going to be using this sensor, My link, scroll down to the air temp sensor. I am going to have a bung in the cold side, hot side and the intake. I cant monitor all at the same time, but I will be able to move the sensor from one to the other for different pulls. Im also using the Zeitronix zt-2 system
  11. Ill be working on an extra cold side pipe this week. My cold side is pretty much just a straight piece of 2.5" with a BOV fitting and the IAC, about 16" long. I should be able to take an extra piece of 2.75 and weld a machined plate into it that will hold the MAF sensor. I have an extra, so if it gets oil coated or fails for some reason I can just switch it back pretty easy. As far as oil in the pipes go. I am installing a catch can in the PCV this week and going to try to vent it to air before plumbing it back into the intake. It will have a vac line with check valve pulling vac on the can. Ill try to do a write up and take a lot of pics. As far as if the blow through will work or not with my tune. I do not see why it wouldnt, its the same amount of air just colder. Measuring the colder air will give me more timing if the ecu is pulling timing. I havent had a problem with the turbo pushing oil through the seals. My charge pipe is only about 30 inches over all, so its easy to keep an eye on.
  12. So I have been looking into this MAF problem. I dont think this would change much but it is a good idea, My link Has anyone thought about this yet, or tried it?
  13. So I am getting ready to redo my intake and install a catch can. Are you saying I should delete the PTC all together? How are you running your's Capt. Bondo? Should I just run the large hard line (replacing this with a hose) to the catch can and then a breather on it? What happens to the small vac hose going from the intake to the PTC? Should this just be capped off? And the PTC, it has a heater in it. Will having the plug just hanging out cause a CEL?
  14. This has turned into the epic thread for tuning info. One question, isnt the beauty of the TT, the fact that users can share tunes? Could Jan email his tune in a file for you to try out when you do get a 3inch MAF? Then you would have all the changed values, you would just have to massage the fuel and timing maps for the smaller turbo. But then again, is the 4.3maps compatible with the 4.4?
  15. 100 more ponies would probably kill the awd, LOL. Its time to apply the knowledge learned from this car to an 850 build :lol:
  16. LOL, I love this thread! I think Cpt. Bondo might be confused as to how TT works. It allows adjustment acording to load and rpm given a set boost limit. Correct me if I am wrong. Flame suit on and armed LOL, I love this thread! I think Cpt. Bondo might be confused as to how TT works. It allows adjustment according to load and rpm given a set boost limit. Correct me if I am wrong. Flame suit on and armed :excl:
  17. Id be interested to see it. I really dont have a plan to build that much power in my 855 and I am thinking a non-volvo motor in my 242 so its going to a stand alone anyway. I do plan to get the TT when my built motor comes together anyway. I am just looking at features...
  18. I dont see how it would be to difficult to do. both read in 0-5v right? rumor is that COP is in the future for TT Time to implement with MAP over MAF the days of metered air and un-metered air are over. Also makes it easier to adjust fuel trims according to actual boost and not just the air the turbo pulls in.
  19. exactly why it would be beneficial to be able to use a manifold absolute pressure sensor and not a mass air flow sensor. Really how hard would it be to put this into the turbotuner?
  20. Easy question for you Eric. If I had all the values for the timing, fuel, boost, maf and whatnot, how hard would it be to tune MS? Are the values universal? I am not familiar with the motronic stand alone. I have ran a few Hondata ecus, zdyne and a couple others. I see a lot of people having problems with their MS and getting a base map just to get the car running, Ive never had much problem with other stand alone systems. As far as datalogging goes, a stand alone system for this is not ideal but works. It would be nice to see the TT have a logging system in it. For my 242 project I will likely use a Haltech system as I am very familiar with it and have tuned a dozen or so cars with it.
