cowboy bebop Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 No guarantees, but we may have video of the startup this evening. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 That would be superb. Can't wait...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy bebop Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 So damn close. We've been working with the motor for a couple of days and mostly chasing down a few electrical gremlins. Namely for some reason the ECU wasn't triggering the injectors as both sides in were getting 12V from the main. So we softwired the injectors to the ecu and now the injectors are working properly. I have to recheck that the coils are actually on the right plug, but all in all it looks like startup will be tomorrow night. Thanks!

TLicense Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Good luck Eric! With all the effort you've put in on this it should, and you deserve it all to go right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy bebop Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well, it's starts and runs great! The motors isn't raspy, it's just smooth and deep. It's got good oil pressure on the gauge, and idles smoothly. No fuss. Turn up the bass on the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Very smooth sounding, but very tame, certainly not how I was expecting it to sound. We need revs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy bebop Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I have a quiet exhaust on the car. I didn't want a loud raspy car, just something that says that it's not a 2jz. If I had the HKS Ti on the car, it would be heard all the way to Yorkshire Thanks ! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 What ecu does it run Eric? (Sorry if it's been mentioned before, this is a huge thread...). Did it just fire up and idle or was there some off camera juggling with fuel and idle air maps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy bebop Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 (edited) It's running the Link G3 Plus. Overall the ecu seems to be a keeper. We had some trouble at first with the ignition but after some calls to nzefi, we found out that we had to change out the firing order in the ecu. Once that was figured out, the car fired right up and idled smoothly. It was a bit like training a dog. The dog wants to do what you ask, but it doens't know what youre' talking about. Same thing with the motor. It wanted to run the whole time, but just didn't understand what the ecu was telling it. In the video, it's the second idle attempt. Much of that is due to the tuner, I couldn't ask for any better than Darin. Thanks Chris!

EdMorris Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Sounds like music Eric, great job. I may need to call you when the time comes, for ecu questions. Quiet is the way too, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy bebop Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Thanks Ed, fell free to call anytime. Also I have some news about the compression ratio. It so far seems to be normal. Whatever it is, it's definitely NOT 14:1. With the piston mixup, it was always a craps shoot as to ratio, but so far every cylinder is in the 170psi range. Perfect for boost I have to say I'm happy about that. I suppose we clearanced enough out of the heads, and the dished valves helped out a little. There also may be some cam overlap. Either way, we've go the green light for boost. Thanks! Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdMorris Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Just out of interest, what exhaust did you replace your hks with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
