    2G Wiring in Haltech with Factory Cruise Control 2G

    Stock throttle body and cruise system. I see no real benefit of trying to retrofit a dbw system in the car. I understand all of the chatted about "advantages", I just don't see the juice being worth the squeeze.

    2G Wiring in Haltech with Factory Cruise Control 2G

    Hi guys,I'm getting ready to wire in my Elite 1000 ecu into my 2g and am trying to keep my factory cruise control. From the wiring schematics in the FSM, it looks like the Auto Cruise Module requires throttle position, closed throttle position, speed sensor input and a cruise input. I've...

    Wife's 2GA Talon Restoration and Build (140s or bust)

    For the surge tank, I designed a plate and had it plasma cut at the local steel supply and then put in stainless rivnuts for mounting. I had my buddy machine the tops and bottoms and parted the body of the tank in my lathe. Then to make sure the fittings were where they needed to be, I 3d...

    Wife's 2GA Talon Restoration and Build (140s or bust)

    Another project that I was working on and finally completed was my fuel system. I'm using a Fuelab lift pump, Fuelab filters, and a Fuelab H/E fuel pump. They claim it is a very efficient pump drawing just 9A at full load. We'll see how it works.First I modified the fuel pump hanger to accept...

    Wife's 2GA Talon Restoration and Build (140s or bust)

    Wow, I can't believe it has almost been a year. I've been slowly chipping away at the car, but life for sure gets in the way. Either way, I'm quite motivated as of late because spring is right around the corner. I stripped the entire under side of the car, removed all undercoating, wire wheeled...

    Running on 3 Cylinders Problem

    I find this interesting. Unfortunately the injector plug on that cylinder doesn't clip in the best and it has the worst routing for the wiring. I'll focus on that tonight.

    Running on 3 Cylinders Problem

    Hi guys,I have a car in my garage right now that has a problem running on 3 cylinders. The car used to have megasquirt engine management and the problem started on that. When it first started, it was random. Since then, we've installed ecmlink and the problem is now constant.Trying to fix...

    It's copper nickel brake line that I purchased from Summit Racing. All of the research that I did on it, showed that it is DOT approved for road use.

    Wife's 2GA Talon Restoration and Build (140s or bust)

    It's been a little bit since I updated. Progress has been slow, but I am chipping away little by little. I was recently able to finish the brake lines for the whole car. I'm really satisfied with how they turned out. Matching all of the little bends from the factory lines was an absolute...

    2G Fuel Surge Tank Questions

    So I did have the thought of putting two returns from the surge tank back to the stock tank. Put them at different heights, so the first one would go to the factory return location and use the factory siphon. The second higher fitting would return to the drivers side pickup location. So if the...

    2G Fuel Surge Tank Questions

    So it's been a while since I drilled mine out, but my understanding is as follows. You're drilling the main drain out to ~1/8" depending on who you ask. The reason for it not being larger is because you'll lose the venturi effect.

    2G Fuel Surge Tank Questions

    I've done that, but I'll be going from 1/2" line down to a 1/8" hole. I see a big problem with that.

    1G GM flex fuel sensor location. Where on return line?

    This is the way I mounted mine. I read on the Haltech forums that the ideal location is on the pressure side of your return line which is between the rail and the regulator. Mounting it after could cause some cavitation.

    2G Fuel Surge Tank Questions

    Hi guys, I'm in the process of planning my fuel system and am looking at installing a surge tank in the spare tire well. After looking at the return line to the stock 2g saddle tank, I'm a little worried that I will kill the function of the stock siphon. My plan is to run a -8 line from the...

    A few updates for the thread. My wife recently lost her job and has decided to start her own business which means that I have been working tons of hours to save up a bigger nest egg and also money for car parts. That means less time for the car right now, but I fit it in when I can.Since the...

    There is a local player here and he cuts awesome deals for walk ins. He charges $20 for anything that will fit in his 55 gallon dip barrel. If you end up doing it, I recommend cleaning the hardware up with a sand blaster or wire brush prior to having it plated. The plating process really only...

    I actually got all of the bolts for the car re-plated, so they'll all look that nice :) Thank you for the compliment.

    I'm doing a single flare for an AN fitting. You need a 37 degree flare for this which is a special flaring tool ( I bought a middle of the road Ridgid unit at $130). The tube nuts and ferrules came from Summit Racing.

    Wow, it's been quite a while since I have updated this. I unfortunately haven't made too much progress on the car, but I am chipping away. Since my last update, I have acquired a very important tool and got it all setup. After seeing it on a Facebook ad, I was able to pick up a Rotary 2 post...

    1G Finally stripped for sandblasted/painted bay and full wire tuck

    This is exactly what I did and it worked great. Like what you said, my outer layer was peppered with holes, but with extra layers, it was fine.

    Shaving engine bay (removing seam sealer)

    Screw drivers, razor blades, and wire wheels were what I used to get the seam sealer out of my engine bay. It's a crappy job, I don't think there is an efficient way to get it done, just one of those things that you have to deal with :(

    Uh Oh.. Upper Control Arm Mount Play, Sadly... Lots of Play Under The Hood

    You do not want to weld in the area you have pictured. You need to look on the underside of the sleeve for cracks around it. The sleeve is mig welded in three places to a formed piece of sheet metal that is spot welded to the upper tower.

    Evo III Intake Manifold with bbk TB

    If you're going to use the BBK throttle body with the Evo manifold, you'll want to port match the manifold to get rid of the step. With that said, the BBK throttle body isn't the best design from the factory. The shaft rides on "sealed" bearings that don't seal all that well. In the past, I...

    Overdriven Water Pump Questions

    I have two 1gs and two 2gs. This isn't a question of throwing belts. It is a question of causing cavitation within the cooling system due to spinning the impeller too fast.

    Overdriven Water Pump Questions

    Hi guys,I was wondering if anyone has some before and after coolant temp data of using the Jay Racing alternator relocation kit and driving the water pump off of the power steering ribs? From my math, it appears that the pump would be over driven 67% which I think is not good. Additionally...

    Thank you. I've seen you post on here quite a few time, just never reached out. I honestly have been really bad about communicating with DSM locals after WMDSM slowed down so much.

    Wife's 2GA Talon Restoration and Build (140s or bust)

    It isn't thermostatic. I went back and forth on whether I should run a cooler or not. Ultimately I decided not to given the greater oil capacity, cooling find on the sandwich adapter, and remote location for the filter. If I drove the car harder or did road racing, it'd be a no brainier.

    Wife's 2GA Talon Restoration and Build (140s or bust)

    I realized today that I haven't updated in quite a while. I don't have too many big progress updates, but I have been gathering more parts. One benefit of living where I do, is that I'm 45 minutes away from TRE. I picked my transmission up sometime last year, but after pestering Jon for a few...

    I'm going to cheat a bit because I too don't know exactly how the motor is controlled via the epowersteering kit. I'll just put the arduino output in place of the epowersteering 100k ohm manual potentiometer and should be good to go. I'll let you know when I finally get it done. It's been almost...

    For sure man, let me know if you have any questions. I did forget one picture in the last post. I had to do major surgery on the shaft to make it work. Sectioned the HHR shaft and the stock DSM shaft and had to do a little bit of machining to make it all work. Stock collapsible shaft on the top...

    2G In search of the e85 hx40 guys.

    At 30psi with a hx40 on stock cams, I had timing in the 12-13 degree range up top. Anything more than that and I was peppering the plugs. I can't look at your logs, but based on the feed back you're receiving, I'd turn the boost down as much as you can and start from square one getting...

    This whole process took around 8 months to complete. I'm a manufacturing engineer in the automotive field and am currently working on a fairly large launch that required quite a bit of travel from me. So between the travel and the 1/2 hr drives each way to work on the car, the time line was...

    With the epoxy primer set and all of the bare metal now sealed in to prevent future rust, we set out to clean up the imperfections.Small amounts of bondo and puddy coat were used to clean everything up and make it smooth.Once done, we applied another coat of the epoxy primer (not...

    With the welding and blending complete on the towers, it was time to finally prep the car for primer. We covered the whole car in 6mil plastic and taped off all areas to prevent over spray. BTW I really hate doing tape work. Seems like such a simple task, but it's horribly time consuming and not...

    Once at my coworkers house, real progress started to happen. I sandblasted the whole engine bay to expose any areas that I wasn't able to see under the paint. This picture was a bit after blasting, and you can see a little bit more cut out of the strut towers than before.Once able to see...

    Are you using just the factory knock circuit to tune? 18 degrees of timing is quite aggressive.

    Out of curiosity, what was your ignition timing at peak torque and also your peak ignition timing?

    CAS and crank angle sensor

    I'd recommend emailing Kiggly Racing to get the install instructions. It specifies exactly what you need to do along with what settings need to be set to in the AEM file. But based on my short browsing of the install instructions, the post by ER82 is correct.
