LinuxRacr's Haltech E6X Log..

Do they make high temp sealant that can withstand that kind of temps? The highest I found local was 750 degree copper RTV, way too low of a temp, but a good idea if you can find some.

Yeah, that's what I used before.

 

[TurfBurn]

Good info. I will try that out Steve!

Just make sure those numbers are the actual output for you... for example my idle value may only say 1.19, but after water temp correction etc for being cold is how I arrive at about 1.7ms for the time.

later!

Well, I need to sure up that exahust leak before I do anything else. I will probably be running 12 PSI max from now on until a certain upgrade.. (glare)

I used a bit of it the first time I put my kit together, because I put it together stupid, and as a stop-gap until I could tear it down and put it together again, I used some black high-temp sealant, and it worked just fine. I was spiking (pre-tune) at 1000 degs, and it held.

 

[TurfBurn]

I went out and checked my car today.. it's about 30 degrees outside.. my battery is dead from sitting for the last few months but I got it powered up enough to check the injector time.. I was actually reading a crank value of about 6.09 ms... so you may need considerably more than I originally indicated.

I believe I have some logs, so I'll dig those up and give you guys the info off that so that you can get a good idea of the values you need.

Later,

Steve

Ok Class...can YOU find my exhaust leak?

This is what can happen if you run too much boost on a log syle manifold such as this..:

what psi?

 

[glyph]

For your guys cold start try to get your injector open time on the 440s to fall in the 3.6-4.2 ms range (during cranking)... then at cold idle you'll need to run about 1.6-1.9 ms open time to yield an AFR of around 12.9 or 13.1 ish for warming it up. Once it is warmed up it should correct out from there on it's own.

Later!

Steve

what about us stock injector folks? do you know the size of the stock injector?

 

[Bigg Tim]

Yeah, what boost is too much? You better say like 20 or something like that. There's no way mid to lower teens should be too much. Maybe you just got a defective 2nd hand mani. With your luck, you should have known it would be something like this.

 

[LinuxRacr]

what psi?

Was running 14-15. The leak has been there for months, and I put this kit on in Oct, 2005, so that tells you how long the leak has been coming from there. Thought the leak was only from the exhaust manifold gasket... After that was fixed, I followed the clues that lead me to this venture.

My luck...hahahah! I know. But soon, everything will be fixed correctly. EVERYTHING!!! I think this manifold may be more restrictive than my old BEGI.

05? that ain't right

As much as that thing is ugly, I do love how strong it is. I would love to take it off and coat it, but you know how much of a PITA it is, so if it comes off, it's staying off.

 

[glyph]

yeah, same here. I wonder what it would take to do the new roller-coaster manifold.

Ain't that the ******* truth! I vowed never to put the BEGI back on again!

 

[LinuxRacr]

Ok, I just replaced the gaskets with new ones, and there is still a small leak.. ****!!

hope mine doesn't do that! I'm not external gate though...

[LinuxRacr]

You don't have to worry about the Tial 38mm Wastegate gasket if you are internally wastegated..

 

[LinuxRacr]

My boost will now be limited to 12 PSI MAX.

 

[vindication]

boost leak from same place or somewhere else? I'm still rootin for yah man. You the Ol' G when it comes to boosted Protege's
