J&S Ultra Safeguard to be hooked up ASAP!

[Keith@FP]

I would expect that would depend on the engine management used. If you're controlling bigger or more injectors, you can probably use the stock pump. If you're running higher pressure, you'll need an auxiliary.

Yeah, get that aux pump ASAP.

OT: Will the spool stage 4 kit come with an aux fuel pump?

I thought it already did?

Bosch Knock sensor on the way! Thanks John!(thumb)

 

[LinuxRacr]

I recived my knock sensor today. I just have to figure out when and where I will install it (ASAP!!). Thanks Keith and John for all your help!

 

[LinuxRacr]

By the way, how would you recommend I install the knock sensor wires? Besides ground, what should I hook the clear one to? It's late at night, I'm at work, and I am not thinking as clear as I should...(doh)

J&S Working!!!

Today was a damn long day, but I found a spot for the knock sensor on the front of the block where the old CAT braket used to screw in, and I used that. With John on the phone, we made sure that this sensor would work with what he sent me. We tested using a DMM. I hooked it up, and tapped it with a screwdriver....The dual monitor registered knock! I finished installing the downpipe, and started up my ride. All was good. I installed the dual monitor in my new steering column gauge pod. I went inside and got like an hour of sleep, and then hit the road to work. I noticed that when I started hitting boost, I was creeping to 7 PSI no probalem. I think this was due to my new exhaust mods! When I would hit 7 PSI, the retard would kick in, and I would still pull. After testing this a few times, I watched the boost gauge and made sure I stayed at 6 PSI or below. When I did this, I did not really see a retard at all. The reason I got knock at 7 PSI was due to the adjustable FPR not being adjusted for that boost level along with the advanced timing. No worries though now. Tuning later toady!

Cool deal...Nice to see it works properly.

 

[herarety]

that is awesome.

Cool, this is good new for all you guys staying with the Protege. This is a cheap but very reliable and very effective alternative to piggyback or stand alone. Terry, you should try to become a distributor of the J&S. I know they deal with distributors because I've seen them on several sites. Patrick, so when are you going to crank up the boost and see how it performs? I think you should swap ecu's with someone and crank it up to 9psi.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Well, after some driving today it is evident that I need that fuel pump, and fast! I pulled my gauge from under the hood, and turned up the fuel. The needle would shake around 80 PSI, but would go no higher. The stock fuel pump is at its limit. As I said before, I gained 1 PSI just by making the exhaust more efficient. Until the fuel pump upgrade, I need to try to stay at 6 PSI. Next step, individual cylinder retard! (laugh)

You are the only one nipping at Terry's heels. The only thing that will hold you back is the manifold, but that's all. I think you will be able to get to about 205 to 210hp reliably.

 

[big_ben]

Oh yeah, have you tried the PDA dyno since installing these mods? I'm guessing you wil be around 180 to 185hp.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Now that it is dry enough, I may just do that. PDA DYNO TIME!! Most excellent Idea there sir!

Just wait...Just wait.

A trip over the mountains will be coming on soon enough and then we shall see what is going on...

Can't wait. (2thumbs) Let's represent what we have!

If memory serves with at 6 PSI of boost Fm was only needing like 70 PSI of fuel even with the 91 octane.

I was getting pinging under 75 PSI.
