lookforjoe Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 What are you using for a welder, looking good. Of course, the return of the yellow pad is welcome.Bought a TIG from Eastwood a couple of years ago. Primarily so I could do aluminum work. SS is easy by comparison - however the speed shop guy said I still used too much current - the weld should be more a pretty rainbow hue rather than the gray I have. That's OK, Practice makes Progress Kingsborne modified wire set came today Same price as the standard dimension wire set for an 850, in 8mm w/LS2 boots with 3.5" open wire length. Judging that off Trent's pic. Oil feed line also arrived with a new 4-an - 1/8" NPT straight adaptor to go into the Precision supplied restrictor seat. 27" length line, listing was for Mazda installation to get the banjo end. edit: wrong size banjo - reused the -4AN to M14(?) that I already had from prior installation. Feed hose was also approx 24". , so a little extra length to deal with routing away from the headers and hotside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulvaS40T4 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 What is the size of your turbo oil feed line restrictor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 What is the size of your turbo oil feed line restrictor? The restrictor is fitted by Precision, and removing it voids their warranty, so I can't answer the question as to what the ID is. The restrictor has 1/8" NPT threads, and they specify using a AN04 - 1/8NPT adaptor to then fit what line you may need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulvaS40T4 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Is your turbo ball bearing or journal bearing version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Is your turbo ball bearing or journal bearing version? Mine is BB. Car is all back together & running, but now it doesn't want to idle - AFR's go lean & it stalls out on decel/idle rpm. Have to check over a few things. I'm going to swap out the O2 - I didn't have a new Bosch one on hand - perhaps it was damaged from the heating required to remove it from the old DP. Engine idled fine prior to the work, so I think it's either that or a fitting/hose that I didn't recheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tightmopedman9 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Checking if your O2 is operational is extremely easy using tunerpro. Compare you nominal air consumption at idle to your old logs, see if it matches and if it doesn't, you know you have an air leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped out the O2 for a Walker I had, until the Bosch arrives. Reset the ECU, and all is well. I'm still killing Bosch coil packs -(with TTCOP). I did a hard pull up a local steep hill during my preliminary check out, and it started breaking up. Swapped out the coil packs for another 5 used ones, and problem fixed. I'll have to swap them back one at a time to find the actual dead one(s). Now its all OK, Ill move ahead with the GM coils install.

phonsa Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Those exhaust header look amazing especially with the golden/bronze. Will you wrap them or power coat for heat retention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Those exhaust header look amazing especially with the golden/bronze. Will you wrap them or power coat for heat retention? No. I would have done that prior to installation. I previously made a heat shield that I will put back once I've made absolutely sure there's no problems with the new line routings back there...

lookforjoe Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Color shift after a few WOT pulls Finally running onboard COP, thank avinitlarge for catching my mistake on the 47k ohm resistors, and to Piet for helping with the conversion of my earlier bin, and to Aaron for his work on developing the COP functionality Curious to see if this affects my burning coil packs, and whether COP related codes will be set - never had a single CEL for cylinder blowout due to coil failure with TTCOP, as many times as it happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattwebb502 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Lookin proper. When's the redo on the dyno? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Lookin proper. When's the redo on the dyno? Probably not until I have determined whether the COP failure is a thing of the past, it was very unnerving when it broke up on the dyno.

854TGA+ Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Trent, I forgot to weigh the SS header before I installed it. The PTE 6262bb weighs 19.5lbs. I'll weigh the older header, the SS version felt a little lighter perhaps, but that that different. H you better start feeding that light weight My new pig weighed in at 22lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Bloody Hell. What specs? Engine pulls very nicely - seems cleaner/ crisper with the onboard COP. I see less soot on heavy throttle, so perhaps part of the issue was difference in dwell timing, Big hole in collector not withstanding...
