    Engine Crank Broke?!

    Long story short, I got my car back after a long period from a well respected member here that had done some top end work on the car...Nothing in the lower end. I only mention it just to give a bit of history on the car...I don't suspect any of his work contributing to my issue. After getting...

    Hydroboost Help Needed!

    My hydroboost conversion has turned into a cluster f***....I bought the Cardone unit, MC, hoses, etc. per the Hydroboost conversion thread and sent all the parts and my car to Keith in Charlotte 3 hours away (the conversion was one of many things being done). Keith has tried to do the...

    Got beat today - LS1 Camaro

    I'm driving home (hour commute) and minding my own business at a four lane light in town. I'm actually sitting there, head down and texting. I hear a loud growl and look up to find a heavily modified LS1 with a huge hood scoop, stickers all over the back window, and a mean lope. Ruh...

    Tech: Car stalls but doesn't die at anything above low throttle

    Hadn't driven in awhile and was time to get an inspection. Car's behavior is that cranks and idles fine. As long as I ease into throttle car builds RPMs, shifts fine, runs fine. As soon as I hit the accelerator more than about 1/2 way, car RPMs drop to around 800 to 1000, O2s go low, CCs...

    Fuel Pressure diagnostic help

    I was reading in another thread about Fuel PSI dropping w/ key on then off indicating stuck injectors. So, curious, I decided to try mine and low and behold, seeing some weird behavior. Vacuum off, Fuel PSI set to 43, Vacuum on around 38. Step 1 - Gauge at 0 Step 2 - Turn on Ignition...

    Fuel Pressure Transducer - Will this work with Powerlogger?

    SENSOR 100PSIG 1/8NPT 5V - P51-100-G-B-I36-5V-R Basically, 0 to 100PSI, 12VDC input (I figure ignition power), 1 to 5VDC output. Half the price of the other one's I've seen on here. There's also a .5 to 4.5V model....I'm assuming that either one I can set the appropriate curve in PL for...

    Leaning Out? Powerlogger files attached...

    Installed new Delco Ign module and coil pack today in attempts to resolve my other problem (cutting out after driving awhile). Decided to make a quick run to see if I see anything on the PL. Attached are files for idle/open, idle/close and a quick WOT run....Not the best run as it's on a...

    New Coil Pack - GM, AC or Magnavox

    nos4gn is out of the magnavox ones for 2 weeks....Kirban's shipping is 1/3 the cost and I don't need anything else right now. Anyone have one of the Magnavox ones from nos4gn they can drop in a mailer? I can either replace it when they are back in stock or pay for it now. Will also consider a...

    Methanol Storage....Is water content a bad thing??

    Been difficult to find Methanol in my area for a reasonable $. Found someone who no longer uses it in their car and has a 55 gallon drum of it that he'll sell me for $40. The drum is plastic, not steel. I've read about the hydroscopic properties of Methanol and its ability to pull moisture...

    What's failing? Fuel Pump or O2 sensor?

    For the 2nd time in a month, my car dumped me again. This time I was prepared a little better and took more note of what was happening, plus I had installed a manual fuel pressure gauge on the rail. Conditions: Both times have been after extended driving (an hours time). Weather has been...

    Powerlogger file - Idle only, please review

    Okay, I'm new as new on powerlogger and tuning, so please be gentle. Attached is a file during idle after engine up to temp. Running Extender chip currently. Using FJO wideband so I'm not positive that's reading correctly as Eric has indicated some problems with them on the 6.0 TT chips...

    Best 90's era performance sedan

    Thinking of retiring my truck to hauling duty (every day driver now) and moving back to a car for DD duties. Considering reliability (most important) and performance (next most important) with a little luxury and cool factor thrown in, what are some 90 era cars I should look at? Some I...

    Wideband Cable routing

    After reading and searching the general consensus was to weld the Wideband bung on the down pipe across from the flywheel, so that's what I did. Now, what's the best method to route/secure the cable? Between the header cross pipe and the down pipe, there's not much room for the cable not to be...

    EGT, Exhaust Heat Shield and Bracket - oh my

    What a pain in the a$$ to mount the clamp on style EGT 90 degrees out from the stock 02 sensor. Drilling the hole wasn't so bad, but no matter what way I position the clamp style sensor, either the heat shield is in the way or the bracket support. I remember seeing one picture of an EGT...

    A couple of ECM electrical questions

    I recently installed a powerlogger and while I had the ECM out I noticed a couple of mods/hacks (don't know which yet) and I can't figure out why they were done.....I know the previous owner was chasing a fuel problem for awhile (turned out to be a loose hose on pump) and was trying alot of...

    On demand Alky - How to achieve?

    Maybe this is a ridiculous question, but it would seem to be a decent idea.... With an electronic boost controller capable of remotely adjusting the wastegate, and a PAC kit such as Razors that can be turned off (with the gain switch), can a chip be setup to optimally run between a setting of...

    87 Regal Black T-Type in Fuquay last night

    Was parked on the side street across from the car show. Was curious if it was anybody's on here? I waited a bit to see if the owner showed, but it disappeared when I walked down the other back street and came back.
