lookforjoe Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Well I just ran into this issue last night. Any issues with what you did yet? I will probably have to do the same thing or switch to the old set up. How much play is there to drill with the baffling and such? Can you take a pic of the one you seperated? No, no issues at all, works just fine. What cap you use has to protrude no more than mine, or the manifold will press against it. Mine just touches, but no downward pressure on the box - which would be bad, since the box is so much deeper, the leverage could strain the mount flanges & fracture over time. It really has to go exactly where I placed it. You can't go further back/forward, or further in I'll take a pic of the sectioned used one tonight.

It looks like the casting line (or seem) is the center line of the hole. I'll wait for the pic tonight. What do you think about blocking this off all together and just putting a filter on the cover? I am not sure how much oil it pushes through it, esp. at high RPMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think about blocking this off all together and just putting a filter on the cover? I am not sure how much oil it pushes through it, esp. at high RPMs. Block off the cam vent, or block off the entire box? I don't think either is a good idea. The amount of oil that vents from the cam cover/head @ high rpms is substantial. Two 4th gear pulls this morning, one level road, the second uphill grade visual rep I pulled a little more timing from the overall map last night, and raised the WOT sliders over 4K, just 1 point Looks pretty good overall, and feels way better than the old head/cams at much lower boost. The high lift/better cylinder filling with the new cams has greatly improved torque in the 2-3K range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess without somekind of baffling it will spit too much oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Should now be able to get all the wiring in the car during the week. COp wiring & coil packs installed Modules installed in ECU box - my setup works as long as you have a manual trans only issue is... I had the coil pack harness connectors laid out backwards when I soldered the coil harness - so I have 5 as 1, 4 as 2, etc. Didn't try to start it - I have to cut & resolder the pulse connection to 4 of the 5 coils to get the firing order back where it needs to be .

lookforjoe Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Finished the wiring. Engine runs, but poorly - definitely loads up, won't stay running unless I keep the rpm's up, and even then it gradually loads up. Video: (brand new) Plug condition: TT COP was never tested with IPD coils; it has been suggested that the different spec may result in a change of dwell angle. I don't have any stock coils to try in their place :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdlimy Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 are you the only one running COP m4.4 TT? adjustable dwell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I got a set of stock R coils that I could bring to Carlisle. You want to test it there? Thanks for the offer. I will let you know if I don't get it resolved soon. I will have to put back the coil/cap/rotor/wires if it's not a simple issue, I still need to work on the tuning before Carlisle. are you the only one running COP m4.4 TT? adjustable dwell? I think I am the only ME4.4 - there is a fellow in the Netherlands that is working on an ME4.3 install. There is no adjustment in TT for dwell. That would seem to be the most likely cause, but IPD coils are supposed to be direct replacements for the stock coils... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, I am having issues getting the manifold to sit and seal properly with the bigger breather box. I figure yours fits better is because you have the spacer. May have to get one just for that reason. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true - the spacer will provide that extra 1/2" clearance for the repositioned cam vent, I didn't think about the spacer as a factor.

NEU Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 H, just wondering what is up with your top motor mount braket? It's welded at the base? Did you mill it down for the old style solid poly mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the IPD one correct? Its 1/2" thick? Snabb seems to be only 1/8" thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were these for you? I forgot to post them before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
