Does this mean no more Delco or is it a special black box for the Delco??? I wanna know something!!!!!

 

[Peewee]

It shall all be revealed in a week, and a bit

Peewee,
Glad to see you coming back. Saw on toymods. Hope you finish it when you get back. Good Luck and sorry to hear about the RnR schedule.

(P.S. - The sooner your finished, the sooner I can harass you about the engine mounts )

[elhsupra]

Sounds great. What kinda exhaust did you use?

 

[Peewee]

The same one I used on my 6mge.
So its just a 2" Y pipe, 2.25" cat, into 2.5" catback with a 2.5" muffler (only one)

And incase you're wondering, no, its not running right, its running far from full power.

 

[elhsupra]

Still having problems somewhere in the ignition?

 

[Peewee]

Hahah, and then some.

Dunno what it is.
Didnt really have time over the weekend to sort it out.

Will try again next RnR, but we did thrash the **** out of her for about 150kms.
95% of the time she is only running at 50% power, but occasionally she pulls full power.
she went from 70 up to 110 in about 8ish seconds up a hill, in 4th.
Cant wait for full power

 

[elhsupra]

So no luck at the tuner. Sorry to hear that. Did you ever figure out why it was firing to often? Your running the Delco unit, right? Is the ignition module getting "confused" and firing as if were a pair of V8's?
I saw on your wiring diagram all the injector wires come together at d15/16. Are they suppose to be batch fired by the delco or are they suppose to be like factory

Don't know if that is why you were running rich or not. Not very familiar with the Delco.

 

[Peewee]

Ignore all that delco stuff.
She's not running on delco no more

And with the ignition breaking down intermittently, tuning is impossible.
But she's not running lean, so I was happy to thrash her.

 

[Pro]

what's the trouble with the delco?

 

[Peewee]

I simply couldnt be ****** trying to sort it out anymore.

I'm only home 5 days a month, and my car has been off the road for 5 months, and I just wanted to drive the ******.

 

[Pro]

is your uncle still making the switching boxes?

coz i'm gonna need one.

 

[Peewee]

Nah, we gave up.
Didnt have the time to perform any R&D anymore.

You have 3 option tho.
Use the one "Max Power" is designing
Buy D!cks Superbox (best option)
Use a Lada Niva ignition module (apparently these use 1 input, and can control 2 coils)

 

[Pro]

Alan was just telling me now that he is trying to persuade your uncle to keep up making them - but again these things are coming in at the $500 mark.

i just want it done when i drop it off, like "see ya in a week" style.

hey btw can you give me a call when you're back next? i want to grab that sump off you - i lost your dad's number.

 

[Pro]

never mind, i found the number. getting it on saturday morning.

 

[Peewee]

I beleive you have already made that call...

 

[Damo]

Hmmmmm, methinks you need a "Language" warning on that video of yours, young Peewee

Not allowed to have fun like that in your cars, naughty naughty.
