Perfect Power PRS8 Standalone

[70]

Alright, a new PRS8 unit is on the way! Yeah, I could be upset, but why waste time now when things are being rectified?

Cool deal. A new one is better than refurbished anyday of the week, and twice on Sundays...

Just bought some 460cc S5 2nd gen RX-7 injectors from MP3 Skater NC (Jaimie).

Cool!

I need fuel and timing control so I can do this stuff!

 

[LinuxRacr]

Now to look into that radiator....

I now have the injectors! They smell like fuel for some reason....

I was waiting for an update on this, only I was hoping that you got the darn thing back...

 

[LinuxRacr]

Wouldn't it be something if the radiator and the PRS both showed up today?!

Yes it would...

PS - The mounts are in...My arms hurt liek heck becuase of the back one!

 

[LinuxRacr]

Hahaha! Suck it up soldier! You should meet up with another protege owner, and then take turns watching your engines as you rev. See which one doesn't move. I was amazed as were my friends at how still my engine was.

I don't doubt that. I can feel the difference already, just from down shifting and everything else.

I'm glad I did the number 3 mount from the MSP, mine was torn completely through. The toehrs were intact. I think yours was the exact opposite.

The new injectors:

Ooooohh!!

While I was refilling my radiator, FedEx came and dropped off my brand new PRS8 unit! Christmas in March! Soon!

HOORAY!!!

Go Patrick!

Now that I am back from the state meet, I can concentrate on getting this thing going. I discovered an exhaust leak the other day that I need to fix. Driving with an FMU, when I hit the throttle, too much fuel is dumped in an instant that kills my off the line response. I bog a little. After that, I hit the gas, and the A/F ratio goes uniform until the upper RPM's. There, I am.... I'M RICH BIYATCH!! (honk, honk). Now I understand why my accelleration sux up top. When I hit like 4500 RPM's, my A/F ratio goes below 10, so I press the pedal a little more, and my boost goes back to 8 PSI and my A/F starts going up towards 11, but then it doesn't! This makes my accelleration in higher RPM's very slow!

All of what I explained above is why I can't wait to install something (PRS8) that will control my fuel a lot better than that fluctuating FMU! Don't get me wrong. At lower boost, the FMU would be pretty good. For what I want, it sux!

Time to get to work!!!

Well, I found an exhaust leak that I fixed, and turned the RRFPR down a little to keep me out of the 9's in A/F ratio so now all the low-end power is back! Low-Mid 11's (and low 12's) in A/F ratio is what I have now! Now that this is fixed:

Ok, with the new PRS8 unit I got the Development CD with all the software, and install/technical manuals. Over the next few weeks, I will be looking at the manuals, and getting a good idea on how I will do my wiring over the next few weeks with Nick's help. These new manuals are a hell of a lot better than the older ones, and there are even new ones. I'm waiting on a couple of more items, and then I can install this bad boy. I'll keep this thread updated.

Cool deal. I'm looking forward to seeing how all of this plays out.

 

[Little Beavis]

No! Get it in now! MUST HAVE RESULTS!

Good news anyway!

 

[LinuxRacr]

Alright, the latest...

I powered up my new unit tonight at work, and behold, the hardware version in 53! Damn, there have been some revisions since version 37 (which the last unit was). I had no communications problems this time at all! Flawless!! The more I study these manuals, the more this makes sense to me. I'm excited as hell!

Nice job...

Did you try loading a basic map on the unit?
