    Torn: Emanage or megasquirt

    Well, thats where you run into a problem... Some of the newer ECUS know when the injectors, ignition, and IAC are disconnected and they go apeshit and do things like not allow you to turn on the AC, run the fans all the time, or, in the case of some BMWs, they just won't start. ;) So, even in...

    Torn: Emanage or megasquirt

    Nah, its been coming out that all you need to do is rev the car with the Haltech, unichip, AFC, etc and it will throw a fault. So, although its a better choice than a full standalone for stealth, its not any guarantee. At idle, sure, it will show a bone stock ecu. Problem is, for high hp...

    EGT (detonation)question

    Ya, but 12 is a good starting point usually and if you are still running a NBO2 you aren't too far away for the NBo2 to start reading.. Even if you have severely retarded ignition or whatever, the engine will usually idle and run ok. Man, 11:1? Sheesh.. That can't be good for the cylinder...

    Torn: Emanage or megasquirt

    I have put a few MS's on lately.. Good thing is that with the EEC-v stuff, you can get a plug and play board for em. ;) Plus too the support is ENORMOUS.. Greddy can't say that. Overall, I don't like Greddy, period. No way no how does it have the same features that you can get with the MSnS...

    EGT (detonation)question

    http://www.sdsefi.com/techegt.htm Most engines will make maximum power at an AFR of between 12.0 and 13.5 to 1 however, the EGT may vary from 1250F to 1800F and is dependent on many factors. Uh, you might find that you can increase boost and hp quite a bit if you are willing to bring the...

    Torn: Emanage or megasquirt

    Emanage iirc it doesn't have spark control unless you dump more cash. Plus, support for Emanage? Yaaa right. ;) Get on www.msefi.com and get an answer IMMEDIATELY. Ok, if you run MS, get the MS 3.0 board with the V2.2 cpu config'd for squirt and spark. You then get: EGT logging WB support...

    Who Is Running Gtx Gears? Results? Ideas? Hp?

    Yeah, that sounds pretty good.. One other option is to also have the gears shotpeened if you are worried about the strength of the gears you are thinking about. There is a company called Metal Improvement Inc. that knows gears VERY well and has strengthened gears for everything from NASCAR to...

    Who Is Running Gtx Gears? Results? Ideas? Hp?

    Oh, I don't currently have a protege I have a Probe GT (Mazda mx6) with the KL v6 in it.. Its becoming fairly common for us to hit 180whp-190whp NA on a stock block bith bolt-ons and a Megasquirt with a good tune. ;) Boosted its common to see 400whp on a stock block. V6s are fun. :)

    Wanted to see 500 WHP Mazdas? HiBoost Mazda 3 makes 496 at 20 psi

    Both the KL v6 and the Duratec v6 are based off of the same Porsche design which was a take on the winning F1 engine in the TAG/Porsche from the 1980s. The KL v6 was first, then Ford acquired the engine design from Mazda and put their own spin on it. Mazda was the original owner of the engine...

    AMS Black EVO Breaks 900AWHP

    man, though, there is some huge money in that mother... That 3 core half-size radiator alone is almost 1k. But, it has to be done to clear the turbo piping.

    AMS Black EVO Breaks 900AWHP

    Its all boost. ;) with that said, thats great. It musta been a real #$#$@^ to tune around that crazy compressor map.. Another thing too, look at the dyno curve: that guy is gonna have a difficult time getting his shift points down and everything.. It looked like it had nothing down low, and...

    Simple Green & Aluminum??

    do NOT use caustics (sodium based cleaners) ON ALUMINUM!!! You should use a mild acidic such as Lazy Mans Aluminum Polish (with the rabbit on it) or get NAPA aluminum wheel cleaner and dilute it about 1/1 with water. It will NOT stain the aluminum and bring back the luster. Just fyi, I used a...

    Who Is Running Gtx Gears? Results? Ideas? Hp?

    Ya, but I think the final on some of the older 626s were like 3.96 or something which would make the trans stretch out quite a ways ;) The older F series transmissions are mostly interchangeable, that includes some of the 80s version escorts etc and their finals were all around 3.6 - 3.8 or so...

    Who Is Running Gtx Gears? Results? Ideas? Hp?

    Ah its not that bad. What exactly are you worried about now? That the top speed will be too high? Well, the top speed of a broken trans with the gears you really like is a scorching 0mph. :) Escape shaft/ring gear - 4.6 PGT shaft/ring gear - 4.3 (some of you guys might have to buy and install...

    Nissan to pay $325,000 to settle stolen headlights case

    Well, the 2nd amendment was set up to make sure that this sort of tyranny could be taken care of by the citizens if need be. I think the time is nigh anymore because the whole "checks and balances" system seems to have broke down when it comes to the judicial system. Our judicial system is a...
