FFVs also have flame arrestors in the fill line, and since ethanol conducts electricity, electrically shielded fuel pumps to prevent explosion hazards.The fact that it conducts electricity is also why it so hard on aluminum, galvanic corosion.BTW Stoich for E-85 is around 10.5 to 1.And to be...
I was just going by the codes on my white 98 GSX and my white 96 Talon.I guess it wouldn't suprise me if they use multiple whites, I wouldn't know why, but it wouldn't suprise me.Also even though the codes stay the same, OEMs do alter the color over the years and the same color sprayed at...
I just looked, my white 96 Talon is chrysler PW7 as well.Mistu might call is something else, but if you tell the paint store/body shop PW7, they will know exactly what color you are talking about.
I agree fully, to each his own.But I must add, other than the ability to RTP and log, the DSMLink offers nothing, that a programmer/hexeditor/info from the DSM-ECU list doesn't.If thats worth $500 to you, I have nothing against you.But you shouldn't state an opinion that could discourage others...
Apparently you don't realize just how easy it is to eprom tune these days.With free programs such as Evilscribe or TunerPro, editing a 1g bin file is nearly the same level of difficulty as is the DSMLink.Even without said programs, a person with average intelligence and common sense could spend...
Not to mention the ~$500 price difference between DSMLink and burning your own eproms.IMO if you're smart enough to tune your vehicle via the DSMLink, you're smart enough to do it via burning your own eproms.
Welding is the best option.But if you must use a filler, DO NOT use Bondo.Bondo is not waterproof, so you don't want to use it where one side is exposed.Use Duraglass or similar, which is a fiberglass reinforced waterproof filler.
Are the readiness monitors the only ECU related thing they check at the emission inspections? I was thinking since ISO9141(ours) is the easiest of the OBDII protocols, a device could be made(rather easily) that would trick the scan tool.You could disconnect the ECU from the diag port just before...
This is very common problem.It doesn't mean those sensors have failed in any way.After certain driving conditions are met, usually stop-and-go or highway driving from short to sustained periods of time after vehicle is up to normal temp, these monitors "turn on" and continuously check for proper...
As far as 1g 2.0l ECUs go.Year for year, PCBs are identical, the turbo versions have additional hardware to run BCS, FP solenoid, boost gauge, low impedance injectors, etc.Can't say I've ever seen a 1.8 ECU, so I don't know on that one.As far as Eproms go, I've only seen 1 N/T Eprom ECU, and I...
So does anybody know if there is an actual unibody/frame difference between the GS, RS, GST and GSX? Or are they all the same platform with different bolt-on drivetrains, brakes, options, etc?
Don't ask for details yet, but its actually rather close to happening.USB and reasonably priced.Also, a while back I whipped this up to allow me to edit the 1g eproms in realtime(just like the DSMlink), My original intent was to sell it, but since I don't have the time to support it, I will...
The 1G knock sensor is a wideband knock sensor, which means it needs a bandpass filter to yield useful information.2G's have a resonant sensor, which means it uses its own physical properties to create a bandpass filter.So in general, swapping either into a vehicle without the proper ECU won't work.
This only applies to certain vehicles/setups.What I normally do it build a quick MDF box that can be moved around, then experiment with location and aiming.Find out what works best in your vehicle, and build the permanent enclosure from that data.
Kinda.By themselves, the cloth is much stronger.The mat is used to build thickness, and strength/stiffness increases exponentially with thickness.Basically, depending on your project, the outer layers should be cloth, and the inner should be mat.What are you making? Mold or moldless?
Cloth is a woven fiberglass fabric.Mat is small strands of fiberglass in a binder.In general, cloth is use for structure and appearance, and mats are used to build thickness.
The air is metered in both turbo and N/T cars.In either, if you release already metered air into the atmosphere, and not into the engine, it will result in the same venting problems.
They're called the Hobbs pressure switch.I've seen the at NAPA auto stores and maybe at Autozone, but you pay a rediculous price for them.Its an online biz, but you can get them at Allied Electronics for $16, same day shipping.http://www.alliedelec.com/catalog/pf.asp?FN=852.pdf
Mine did the same, it was a leaking pass side quarter window.Don't ask me how the water made its way to the trunk, but problem was solved after I R&Red the window.
Obviously BOVs vent boost when the throttle plate closes to prevent surge, most factory BOVs are designed to open at idle to bypass air INTO the engine as well.It makes for a better off idle throttle response, this is also the cause of most of the problems with venting to the atmosphere.Not...
You can adjust your BOV to open at idle/low throttle, which will bypass the turbo.If you have a stock BOV, it more than likely does this already, hence the name "Compressor Bypass Valve".
http://www.national.com/pf/LM/LM2907EP.htmlThis chip can easily be used as a shift light, and its $1.80 at www.digi-key.com Download the datasheet, it has a ton of reference designs/typical applications, one of which is exactly what you are looking for.BTW total parts cost will be less than $10.
No actually I'm not.You're not giving anything up with the twin scroll, it a far superior design.It will flow as much, if not more, than a single scroll housing of the same area, and still have excellent spool up qualities.
One friday night a few years ago, I had just got done completly filling my gas tank.Got pulled over as soon as I pulled out of the station, evidently I had a warrant for a traffic violation that I must of forgot about.Anyway I go to jail, car goes to the impound.I get out a few hours later, and...
Its kinda hard for me to explain.Essentially its like 2 separate 4.9 cm2 housings connected to the same turbine.Normaly(on a single scroll 9.8) each exhaust pulse has a path through the housing with a area of 9.8, in a twin scroll, since half the exhaust pulses are separate, each pulse has a...
Twin scroll 10.5 or 9.8 housings are not comparable to regular 10.5 or 9.8 housings.Its actually more complicated than this but, in most aspects , a 9.8 cm2 twin scroll housing would be functionally equivalent to about a 4.9 cm2 regular housing.
You DO NOT need to ground the connector, like I said, you can time it while cranking.The ECU sets the adv to 5 deg during cranking, so adjust the CAS until the your at 5 deg.
The ECU could definately be the problem, since its controls the alt.check the smaller gauge wiring that goes to the alt.Put a voltmeter on the batt while the engine is running, and post the results
High speed ADCs are very common and very cheap these days, name brand processors with ADC peripherals capable of greater than a half million samples per second, are around $15.The supposed high price, is just hype from automotive electronics companies to justify their extreme profit margins.
Nearly any electronics supplier will have them, Digi-key, Jameco etc.Radio shack will probably have them also, if not I'm sure they can order them.Its just a standard 28 pin .6 dip socket.
