    Engine Miss (running microtech)

    another possibility could be your voltage, had similar probs with a rotary, 13bt, voltage was at 10.9-11.2 and would misfire constantly after 4K RPM. This was at night with the lights on and thermo running constantly. Anyway, your car impressed my cousin and all his chev mates! BTW, you can...

    need help with pinging

    If the knock sensor was in fact doing its real job, it wouldn't ping. OEM ecu's like to wind the timing all the way out till it gets a faint ping then backs off till it stops. It will pick up ping before you do that is. Correct me if I am wrong, the sensors is under the inlet manifold (it is for...

    need help with pinging

    50*advance? hhmmmm.... about 20* too much I would think. coupled with heat = bad news. You did have a cooling problem. I assume the timing is set per factory specs? Maybe knock sensor not working? Timing is one of those things that will cause detonation with either too much or not enough...

    Engine Miss (running microtech)

    Peewee If you turned your idle down, you need to re-zero your TPS. If your LOAD switch is on TPS, not MAP, it will be out by as much as you turned your idle down. That or sparky misfire? maybe... Actually, fuel pump before that.... I wouldn't drive it again till you got another, better pump...

    Cost to build a 500hp FI engine

    miles, cmon.. boosted with AFR's at slightly over generous numbers and timing in the precautios range, the engine will run and make decent power. BUT with that, I heard that the celica possibly ran those times with better fuel. I am not sure of it thought. Some factors in an unprepared motor...

    Cost to build a 500hp FI engine

    miles, on that celica. they didnt touch the motor at all. kept original head studs. With 8 X 1700cc injectors running pump 98, I say they ran it really rich with conservative timing to keep detonation out... at a guess. of course, ARP head studs are the way to go. stock bolts dont cut it.

    Cost to build a 500hp FI engine

    You might not want it verbatim, there is alot of wishy washy crap facts used to fill 2 pages. I have picked out the facts that had any significance. Shame really, I have alot of questions about that car or engine rather. I have a slightly down market setup to him and was curious to what gave the...
