    Can you still get a name change or is it easier to just start a new profile?

    Knock/Timing Retard voltage.

    With all the information you guys have provided me with I think I have a good starting point to begin constructing a curcuit. I am currently offshore and work in the robotics field. So maybe I can get a few of these electrical engineers to lend some expertise. In your opinion is what I am...

    Knock/Timing Retard voltage.

    Thanks for posting the link man. I will study it well. FYI between TB.com,Vortexbuick,gnttype and multiple other vendors I have printed off three packs of printer paper worth of research. Enough to fill up 4 three ring binders. I understand the neverending common questions being asked but I feel...

    Knock/Timing Retard voltage.

    You have a very valid point and that would work. But I wanted to have something a little different and possibly adjustable parameters for each warning and function.

    Knock/Timing Retard voltage.

    Understood RmvBfrFlight,I honestly do not have the electrical expertise needed to make a circuit needed to read those perameters. I was hoping to intersept a wider analog voltage range to monitor knock. Maybe I need to look at intercepting the votage sent to retard timing AFTER the ecu does it's...

    Spectre air filters, GO or NO GO?

    I've had two Spectre cone filters over the years. One I purchased and another was given to me. Both of them rusted,quickly I might add. I wouldn't even run them on a lawn mower!

    Knock/Timing Retard voltage.

    So to make sure i got this right before I start soldering me up a circuit. If 9v is no knock and you are saying a warning system should sound off between 2-5v is it safe to say that 0v is the most severe knock that the sensor can read? If so then that is the exact information I was looking...

    Knock/Timing Retard voltage.

    Thanks for the response RmvBfrFlight. So knowinb that the knock sensor is recieved as some form of data stream like rs232 or 485 gues I need to look at finding the overall voltage range the ecu will send out to retard timing under a knock situatuion. Then I may be able to use that with a series...

    Knock/Timing Retard voltage.

    I have searched for a few hours now with no definative answer or info so I pose a few questions. 1) What are the voltage or ohm range seen at low levels of knock and timing retard? I understand we gauge knock by observing timing retard. That being said the knock sensor it self has to be...

    Oil Leak: Oil cooler line

    Noticed a small oil leak and traced it back to the oil cooler line located directly in the top of the oil filter base. I removed the line and checked the housing for burr's and debris. After flooking closer I found a cut o-ring. Be careful not to just jam it in the bottom first then tighten...

    Hi from Laurel Ms, picking up my first GN soon! '86

    As of right now it's only mods are a tt chip and 160 therm. Some "gnx" 16s and the rest of it is un molested. The engine got rebuilt around a 1000-2000 miles ago w/supporting documentation. I plan on starting with the basics(hot wire,adjustable fpr,340 fuel pump,ls1 valve springs,hi flow...

    Hi from Laurel Ms, picking up my first GN soon! '86

    Yeah we still have a T-Type that dominates at Hub City Dragway. Been gearing up to get a tr for 2 yrs now. Can't wait. Thanks bud!

    Hi from Laurel Ms, picking up my first GN soon! '86

    Well let me start off by saying thanks a ton fo all the information on this site. Between Turbobuick and Gnttype I have printed around 300 pages of invaluable information. Enough for a good sized three ring binder. I'm shooting for around 425-450 ftlb at the wheels. Just a good dd set up. From...
