How much did your system cost you and where did you get it? Where did you mount the accumulator? How long does the pre-lube cycle run? How much oil pressure does it show on your ga when you pre-lube?
Here's an article that I wrote for the MGNTA.
Pre-oiling an engine should help minimize the wear that occurs at startup. The rods and mains are suspended in a “hydrodynamic wedge” of oil that is supplied by the engine oil pump with the engine running. There is no oil pressure until the engine is...
When shop testing for knock, you must set the max TPS for idle to lower than what you TPS actually is at idle. The KR will not work at idle. This setting determines whether or not the idle functions work, so don't forget to return it to a proper setting. A proper setting for this is 1 or 2...
I am starting to refamiliarize myself with my Classic FAST sequential box. I thought I would post a few observations. It has been quite a while (Many Years) since I acquired this unit and I have not taken the proper time to tune my car. It mostly sits while I allow myself to be distracted by...
I am referring to real time viewing of the data. Not data logs. With my Sequential FAST box as well as at least one other, it requires the specific dash to include the temp correction in order to be viewed correctly. That is with the cross hair (Bull's eye) in the proper position. That is at the...
Well this afternoon a friend stopped by. He reminded me about something that I pointed out to him a few years back, when he first got a classic FAST box. I'm embarassed to admit that I forgot this. The dash selected for the readout has to have the temp correction as one of the selected options...
Actually the vertical line is positioned correctly and moves across the screen with the temp. It's the horizontal line that is at the top when the engine is running, where it should not be. The horizontal line should run across where the bulls eye (Cross Lines) rests on the user programed ramp...
I quess I wasn't clear enough. The after start and temp corrections are both at zero with key on and engine not running. This is as it should be.
With the engine running the after start enrichment and (warm up enrichment) Temperature correction both show the tiny circle indicating the horizontal...
I am again attempting to get some hands on time with my very old system. It's a FAST classic box, sequential. I noticed that both the after start enrichment and the warmup or temp correction tables show the little circle at zero whith key on but engine not running. When the engine is running...
