My 3rd kid is 19mo now. The cell door is starting to open :-)

oops.. bummer.

i love tuning ms cars with tuner studio. have two friends with the setup. one is a 5.0 mustang and the other is a turbo 420a eclipse with a t2 garret from a td. system works well especially for part...

Not exactly.

you just need two people in the car, good datalogging stuff on the car and a few sets of brakes.

you load each data breakpoint with the brakes (more load than an intertia dyno)...

i dunno if you are explaining that for me or others....

heck im going to have to sit there and look up part numbers as i dont really know what i have 3.0L wise. i know i have some mystery sbecs...

lemme dig through my pile of ecu's to see what i have. I may have one.

Brian

exactly. same ecu connector. shouldnt be hard at all.

yeah i just looked at some of them too. they do have 3d maps.

it looks like if you swapped to a 1990 ecu, there is enough defined in that cal to do some fooling around with some tables to make it...

csx stage 2 is a MP factory cal. my name is on it for work that i did helping to return the quite modified "blueberry" cals back to stock and csx stage 2 form.

robs turbonator staged cals would...

the cal i did for your spirit had more trickery that could be applied to a 3.0L na cal that is going to see boost...

yours was a 2 bar so right before 14.7psi, i added another data point and...

toss a piston in it.

you have some laying around?

Brian

yup. anaerobic for the aluminum diff cover and rtv for the bearing retainer cups.

i use the spray alot on something that has a gasket already. like the throttle body, or the intake/exhaust...

me too. i use that stuff on everything lol.

Brian

so have I but i changed the tables first to make the afr and timing advance ~the same.

Brian

thats cause we know whats in the fuel tables for part throttle. leaner pulsewidths and more timing advance.

Brian

pull the entire harness out of the car and bring it in the house. (drive the taurus)

spread it all out on the floor on a blanket/plastic (big mess)

pull all the cladding off of it and go over...

the oem ford smog pump valves seal really well in my experience. thats what russ jerome used to use too with great success.

Brian

what about making an aluminum insert that uses the tip of the hydraulic lifter to actuate the valve with shims behind it to make it solid.

heck, for a quick fix, id gut the hydraulic lifter, cut...

id take a bunch of rockers, measure them, machine a piece of aluminum so it fits with a slight press and is flush with the bottom or sticks out a little, thread it, have it hard anodized and use a...

I have that same valve spring compressor and it worked better when i ground down the "hook" part that grabs the spring itself doesnt stick in so far that it destroys the valve seal.

that was till...

gotcha. so you are a bit stuck in your option list....

is there any reason you did this over making an insert for the 3.0L rocker to make them solid?

in the Spirit R/T valvetrain thread, there was discussion of the those rockers having some sort of...

its a fueling issue. get the idle fuel right and the idle should clear right up with no burble.

my friend brian is having a hard time getting his MS 4 wire AIS setup to idle correctly too on his...

i moved the AEM FIC discussion over here.

http://www.turbo-mopar.com/forums/showthread.php?61496-3.0L-AEM-FIC-Discussion

the FIC can do alot more than just modify the timing.

it INTERCEPTS the actual injector signals and scales them on the fly for larger injectors and then adds pulsewidth with its map sensor when...
