I have barely driven my colts this summer. Still have pocketlogger. The hardest part was getting a palm pilot to sync with my pc (windows 10). After I had the cable and serial number sorted out, there are members, including myself now, that have the pocketlogger software. Once the car was...

Pocket logger is up and running. Got the car on the dyno. Motor is just under 1000km broken in. Dialed in boost to 16psi, tuned with AFC and wideband. It's a comfortable 275hp. It was no big deal not having link, the tuner said for my goal and setup ecmlink is not necessary. I'm surprised my...

Good point. Didn't think that would work.Well I'm all set up anyhow. At least I know the old equipment still works. Now time to book dyno. Wideband installed too. Should I bother with my old egt?Thanks to all who helped.

Will the mmcd software work with the pocketlogger cable from digitaltuning??I guess i will try it.Mike Montalvo has replied to my email!! I have been able to find my old email printout, which has the registration code, cable serial number and my hotsync username to use. I have been able...

Hey brother, I will gladly take the files from pocketlogger. I got two of my old palms to work, hotsync works, and I even found an old printout of my original email from pocketlogger. Man I am getting old, maybe just dsm old, too many parts hoarded.So I emailed digital tuning, lets see if...

I'm in the same boat. Block and head at machine shop for a rebuild. 3-400hp is plenty for my 2450lb Colt, which is fwd. My other Colt is 299hp with e316g @19psi. Stock old tired motor with BC cams link v3 and 750fic and stock fuel system. Wheel spin galore. I'm also debating piston rod choice. I...

Take a look at your engine temp sensor and connectors. Like an another member mentioned, ensure the coolant lines are still connected to the throttle body. Has the ECU ever been inspected?

How long have you owned the car? What is the history with the car in regards to recent work done. Did it used to idle welll? Check injectors seals, Throttle body shaft seals and biss screw and seal. Has TB been installed correctly? Meaning throttle plate adjustment, tps adjustment and TPS closed...

So like I gathered from having read countless older thread, the advantage of the hta68 is when running higher boost than what I am planning on. If I were to improve the intake side (larger tb , intake imanifold , head work), then the HTA68 would be the way to go. The car is driven rarely and...

Im happy with the 16g. It came with the donor car I bought for the swap. I figure since I'm buying new, to look at what is available for simple bolt on. Considering v2.

Currently have E316G externally gated on manifold at 19psi. Dynoed at 300hp. 6 bolt stock block and head. BC 264 cams. v3 and 750FIC . 3" GM maf (going SD). 3" DP and exhaust. Small yonaka FMIC. This motor is in my 88 Colt. Plenty happy with the power.My 89 Colt is currently fitted with a...

You won't get much of an answer here. That car is super rare. You might want to try over at www.4g61t.org Post up there.You might be able to get a set of coil overs to work up front. What type of suspension is in the rear?

I'm trying to figure out why recently my idle vac went from 14in to less than 10. The most recent change was a rad change. After a blt and a compression test(140s when cold, 150ish when hot.) No leaks .I figured to change the isc to a new 91 ISC which I have as spare. Motor is 6 bolt , stock...

May be old and 40. I can't entertain the idea of going pocket logger after having ECM link. I just searched for digital tuning. Com and they are done. I no longer have the software. So not sure how I even would get the software for the pocket logger. I don't have a wideband. Might just buy one...

Once upon a time from 2002 to 2008 I used to log with pocket logger and a Palm pilot. Fuel controlled with hks super afr. My palm pilots are dead now. Other than ecmlink, is there no other way to log? I have link in one car, but don't want to buy another ecmlink for my second car. My other car...

Just a brain fart. How about leave your exhaust as is, from cat forward. Get a new larger DP installed with an electric bypass plate before the cat. I had that on a the DSM I bought as a donor car. The laser had stock exhaust with the exception of a 2.5" DP with the BYPASS valve before the cat...

So what did you last touch? Was it ever running good? If so, what was the last thing that was messed with?

You're running link v3? what injectors, fuel pump and fuel presure regulator? You've checked base timing? So boost leak tested?

Leak down test for sure. And change all seals gaskets anyway from tb to intake manifold. I had idle surge and with a quick leak down test noticed small leaks at Tb and injectors. I may have something small at the manifold, that's the only one I didn't change and now it idle much better. I also...

Here in Toronto Canada, all passenger vehicles 1988 and newer need to pass emissions, regardless of what motor is in there. Non obd2 vehicles have to pass a tail pipe sniffer test. Obd2 vehicles just need to have a non CEL ecu status. Luckily here I have the option to run a high flow cat...

Go big with your exhaust. Go to a good muffler shop and have it custom made. There are high flow cats available. You can make more power and still keep all the emissions parts.

Yes I have come across that thread as well. The issue, or not issue, I have not experienced it myself, is a brother in Florida says he tried an intermediate shaft in his setup, the shaft fits in the tranny but the bearing bracket doesn't line up with the block. Which I find odd. He doesn't...

So are the intermediate shafts the same between the 90 fwd DSM and the AWD?

Hi. I want to compare fuel pump assembly between the 1g DSM fwd and AWD and the 89-91CSM. I don't have DSM, but I do have an 89 Colt/Mirage 4g63t swapped. I'm changing out the fuel tank for a new one because the original is rotted. The fuel pump assembly has seen better days. I cannot find a new...

I do have the link cable for the gm maf. For now I will run the gm maf and have it dynoed and tuned with it. I will consider SD afterwards. Thanks guys for the clarification. I will post pics up once it done. Can't wait to get rid of the stock MAF.

Searched for the most recommended location for a gm maf. I just received a free one and figure to try using it. Main reason for going with gm maf is for making space in the tight colt engine bay. I have seen many pics with it installed just before the TB elbow. Does it matter where along the...

Waiting on some -6an hose to arrive. Then I can change out stock filter and rail feed line to a Fuel lab kit.

I don't want to grow! Traction is already an issue. I am stopping at my upgrades. Once it's tuned it's staying that way. The next upgrade is another car.

I will keep an eye out on duty cycle. Right now WOT third gear I have clutch slipping. Thanks for the input. I thought there was other variables to look for!

What do we look for that tells us we should change our fuel pump out for a better one? I have link v3, stock internals 4g63t, 16g @15psi, BC cams, 3" turbo back, FIC 750cc in my 88 colt sedan(stock pump fed mpi with two injectors) sized 750 and 1150cc. I am curious to see how far I can push the...

thank you!

BC 268/272. They claim oem springs are ok. I was really aiming for a set of 264's, but last minute decision made the above mentioned go in the cart.

I bought new 750's from extremepsi along with new cams. Thanks for the replies.

Has there been any porting been done? Seeing as you have a $5K budget.

Well, I bought a party pack of 100's and 150's. The first 100 held, and has been in since day one. It looks like I will leave it like that, seeing as #3awg is rated for 100amps, and I am running #2awg. The kit I bought was supposed to be #1/0. I was ripped off, but heck, its working.

How much boost are you running with the current 16g?

I have a 90 TB. I have searched and searched. I want to confirm which port is what vac line as shown on the attached diagram. The way I read the diagram is the top firewall side port is the "black", the top port near the front is the "Yellow" The ports on the side, upper port is the green, and...

HI Geosok, I am in the same boat as you were a month ago with trying to get idle set. I too am new with link. I am wondering what your vacuum readings were before TB seals replaced at idle, and after all the seals were addressed? I will be taking my TB apart and changing every seal available...

I believe my alternator is an 80amp. I will definetely be having various fuse sizes on hand.

I have searched and havent found a best recommended fuse size for when relocating battery to trunk. I have noticed post with members running anywhere from 80amp to 200amp fuses. I am relocating to trunk just because I cannot physically fit the newly swapped 90 4g63t motor and all other plumbing...

I would leave the head on, especially if compression numbers are good. Definetely do the timing belt if you dont know the history of it.

I just bought three more items from Abbas at rtmracing. Did the online order on a Wednesday, 4pm. I received the package Friday afternoon, just two days later. I learned that with UPS, the best way to deal with them is to register with them and get a user ID. After a week they send you a PIN in...

The BS delete is not a free MOD. Its about a two hundred dollar mod. Delete kit plus gaskets. Anyhow, so far what this is costing me is time!! I hate gasket scraping, very tedious and time consuming. I am trying to separate the BS and sprocket from the oil casing!! WTF am I missing. I need to...
