Hey Cordes, I have an 87 T2 3 bar, 52lb cal with a decent table file. I probably have a stock one as well. Let me know what you want to start with and I can send you what I've got.
I might know where it's parked too!
The car is back together with the re-worked Felpro head gasket. I drove the car every day this week and it has been great. The new 304 stainless steel exhaust sounds great as well.
No worries about that, I have a 2003 S600 Mercedes for winter driving. I needed something with at least 600 lb-ft of torque for those cold days.
+1 to drilling a T2 gasket to match the T3 head. I pulled the head off the car last weekend and installed a drilled FelPro gasket. I'll put plates on the car and test it out over the next week or so,...
It's back together with a polished head bottom deck and block top deck. Aircraft sealant was used on the exposed surfaces of the gasket and on both the head and block. I'll pressurize the cooling...
The issue with using a composite gasket is, well, they don't exist! I can attempt to cut holes in a T2 gasket and make it work, or I can try to do something MLS (only thing commercially available)....
The middle two cylinders were damn near TDC when coolant was pooling on them. I didn't realize there was coolant in #1 until I pulled the head. Now I see why car companies had some growing pains with...
I don't know if more clamp load would have prevented this. All I know is it was really annoying pulling the car apart. The head is flat and there are zero cracks (confirmed with dye penetrant and...
So, I've been dealing with a misfire in my R/T for the last few months. The car only misfires for a few seconds if it has been sitting for more than an hour or so. Well, after troubleshooting a few...
I changed the plugs, as they had about 40-50K miles. The car starts fine every time now. The gap was perfect on all of the plugs, so I don't know what happened. Either way, it was a $6 fix.
I'm going to install fresh plugs and fire it up to see if one of them gets wet. Sometimes the car has a lifter tick on startup, sometimes it doesn't. It always goes away after a little while. I...
I've been taking some time to tie up all the loose ends on my 91 R/T. It now has a T1 radiator and is holding coolant pressure without issue. Now for the next issue:
For the last year or so, when...
So, after 3 years the Griffin radiator is complete junk. The tube to header joints leak, and some of the tubes have leaks as well. The car is now down until I get a replacement radiator. It looks...
I tested the code and reset my transient tables back to stock. The car's transient enrichment works perfectly and everything is as good as stock. I've now wired the car for an under-hood 3 bar map...
Rob,
Thanks for the quick feedback! I'll update to the latest template this weekend and scale the new table appropriately.
Rob,
You are right, MP Tune didn't scale this with the injectors. However, the car did not run correctly until I increased the values in this table. If there is a better way to correct the...
I've resolved the issue with my transient enrichment. The THRTCN table is scaled in the wrong direction for larger injectors. The logic is backwards, increasing the table values DECREASES fueling,...
Rob,
I believe your documentation on the pump shot, and its associated scaling for larger injectors has an error. On my GLHS (Turbonator GLHS) I've had trouble with an extremely rich transient...
I disabled the transient enrichment and now the car runs great. I will use this as an opportunity to fine tune the part throttle and full throttle tables. I imagine at some point when I lean out the...
Does anyone know how the transient enrichment tables work? I setup a cal for my GLHS with 72 lb injectors and the transient enrichment causes the car to misfire and puff black smoke out the tailpipe....
Rob,
I think I'm likely to just run the map wires under the hood. This gets the map out of the way of the sockets in the LM so I can change the chips without pulling the board.
Problem solved! I disabled the 2 step limiter and the car runs great. Since the car has a cable speedo, I guess I never knew the speed/distance sensor was flaky. Thanks for putting up with my posts!...
I think my issue may be related to the speed/distance sensor. I will turn off the staging limiter feature and report back. One time when I was staging from a complete stop the limiter didn't work, so...
