    FAST / C-com software request

    I lost my original copy of the Dos based c-com software, and was hoping someone could send it to me. I thought the demo version allowed for use if you connected it to an ECM, but mine wouldn't even allow me to do that. I know this may be illegal software sharing - but I figure since the...

    AWD sy goes 9s

    I'm not going to argue with Matt over his own truck but that is the biggest 72 series turbo I've ever seen ;) and I'm pretty sure it's a tad bigger. With so much happening in the turbo world, with custom/experimental turbos built, we may never know. I do know it's a PTE turbo, has a T4...

    Looking for Methanol

    Go online, you can usually find the MSDS for the different name brand ones (Peak etc), and you'll usually see the methanol content by volume. Methanol has an only slightly lower sp. gravity than water, so for all practical purposes weight percentage will be the same as a by volume rating.

    Looking for Methanol

    Windshield wash mixture amounts vary, 20-50%... I'd say 30% is the norm. You can also buy Heet, fuel system drier, it is ~99% methanol.

    Propain kit for sale

    I know this isn't the classified section, but I figured someone browsing here might be interested... I've posted my Propain kit on ebay as well as the classifieds here. ******************************** Complete, barely used Propain kit for sale.. installed last fall, used & tested for a few...

    What year ls1 coil

    Truck coils will work, but they are different physically, so mounting them is different, and they have different connectors.

    Whatever happened to VNT turbos?

    The new 6.0L Powerstroke motor has one, FYI. I still wouldn't put one on a high performance gasoline engine yet though. I know of a TurboBuick owner that tried a VNT turbo out ;)

    Having Propane problems HELP

    How is it without propane, when you run 15 to 20 psi ? The propane does significantly richen the mixture, so you need to start out with a fairly well tuned combination, and adjust. If you are overly rich, at any boost level, it could cause some weirdness.

    Propane

    Same cheap stuff you see everywhere, i filled mine at a hardware store. Only trick is to find places that do refills, not exchange. Not that hard to do, but the exchange only stuff is becoming more and more common. My testing - my truck is experiencing some knock retard, and I've currently...

    Propane

    Ok, gotcha. Just to clarify the bottle & line pressure numbers, for me as well as others reading. Line pressure is tuneable via the regulator, and guys have used 80-150psi Tank pressure is what I'm concerned with, and I may just have to experiment. What pressure is too low? Below...

    Propane

    Yep that's the gauge. It is bright, but it is difficult to read at bad angles, so I have yet to finish mounting it nicely, as mounting it to the windshield makes it annoying to read. A little angle shim and it will be great, very small, easy to read. I just swapped in the largest jet, like...

    Propane

    I ran it on my truck once so far, and the results were promising. I did a few blasts at 20psi, only with a couple degrees of knock retard showing at the initial stab, and decaying the whole run. The truck will definitely show more knock than that with pump gas, I'd see 8-10 degrees of retard at...

    Propane kit on the way

    I got my kit this past week as well, and have been slowly installing it in my Syclone. Very nice piece. I did email Jay about a few things, and found a place that may have a heater geared towards propane, and also has a remote digital nitrous pressure gauge that I'll be using for the propane...

    Has anyone tried running a typhoon's ecm in a GN?

    Yep, it has some good features. It does use the same ECM & program as the Sunbird. The boost control is closed loop, which is why it shows desired boost & actual boost. The algorithm for it is pretty weak however, needs a PID setup on it IMO. We also have been datalogging an extra unused...

    Propane Injection

    Thanks... I guess we'll see about tuning with a wideband 02...
