I know what you're saying, bud...the FS responds ridiculously well to big cams...at least in terms of sound...the entire rev range changes so much its incredible haha.
iracemine's purpose built N/A ST2 thread
- Thread starter iracemine
- Start date
OK so still trying to find a good tuner is IL for the microtech. I did properly seat the rings after I let the cams have their few minutes of break in. Bought the J&S Safegaurd interceptor along with a bosh knock sensor and their gauge. Here is a crappy cellphone vid of the start up and smooth idle. I will get to installing the LT10 here in the next few weeks along with the safgaurd and wideband. After that is the tuner with results. Yes thats right a build thread that actually gets finished!!!!

Sounds like a tuned V6!!! But its just a 4cyl.
Wow, amazing work done!

Damn.... forgot about this! I wish I remembered this when I bought my wideband. Wiring this thing in between life sucks. Cant stop now..... about one month left before the first race.
So besides buying the wideband twice all I have left is the crank and cam sensors left. I am trying to find where I can buy the mesh shield to protect the wires. So far I have only fount mesh tape. I guess I can use that. I will have to spiral it along the wires. Unless any of you guys know where I can get any?
Also still waiting on the J&S to show up.....

Why didn't you put a block-off plate on the EGR instead of that breather filter?
This might just happen....
Cause it was easy. Was there a advantage to doing a block-off plate over a breather?

Well, by having a Standalone you would just have to remove all the EGR hardware (small weight reduction). And by having just a small plug, it reduces possibilities of having troubles.
And I would like to know how is gonna react your AFR when the EGR valve is gonna open and let extra fresh air into the intake manifod???

awesome work man.
I would assume the advantage of a block off plate would be that it lets no air in through the egr tube, in which a breather filter might let a small amount under high vacuum...wouldn't be much of an issue since you could tune around it, but might make partial throttle mapping easier (since that ecu has no high load closed loop, correct?)
in either case...for my previous build i just cut a section of an aluminum can, making a plate to mount between the EGR valve itself and the TB...This doesn't cap off the egr tube, but it blocks the ports for the exhaust gas at the tB...accomplishing the same thing...it worked fine, and only costs as much as a can of diet coke...just make it a couple layers thick, it doesn't put up with much abuse...

pondered on this..... The microtech operates on map and not maf. So if when the egr opens the map will change and the mocrotech should adjust. Maybe.
Dying to finish this thing. But I am still waiting on the J&S.... Also I am trying to figure out the cam and crank sensor hook up. In the mean time I got the wideband hooked up too.

Hey do you remember how you wired your crank and cam sensors?
Not sure the sensors are different, but certainly the trigger wheels / maps are. I don't think it will really matter at the end of the day as long as you grab the right wires.
As these are sensor wires you should just be able to splice into them. Like I said before it's probably best to do it in the cabin.

OK cool! Thanks for the push... all done, and the cars starts and idles great! Now I wait for the J&S. Hopefully off to the dyno next week!
OK got the J&S in the mail (a day late from the usps) and got it installed. Having problems with the gauge. It is supposed to do a self check thingy but is does not. Asking John about it now so we will see if he can help me out. Also got the two SS bungs welded in for the wide band and the second O2 sensor, and fixed the exhaust hanger I tried to modify. SOOO its now off at the dyno! A-Spec in Schaumburg IL has a freelance guy whom has been tuning Microtechs since they cam here in USA. He should have the cam gears, microtech, J&S all tuned up by the end of the weekend. I guess I am hoping for at least 150whp. If not then modding this car N/A is sooo not worth it. For me any power I have gained will defiantly be helpful as I am in a controlled racing environment. But its going to take a huge gain in hp to stay in front of that BMW!

These two hangers where pointed the other direction and must be for a probe or something so I bent them backward and they fit great! except the one busted off.
TRI-R are the same people that fixed my crappy k-sports. Amazing work!
last bit of wiring before dyno time!
