Haltech in...started right up.

The Hal'win' computer program VERY easy to use..you can open several maps at one time. Also, there is a guage face window which is real easy to check everything at a glance...

Running a 'little' rich right now.......

F10x was made for this engine!

Took her on the road for a few miles with some coarse tuning of injectors...

GUESS WHAT...no more hesitation or sputtering at 3500 rpm or when turning...

my guess: a short or 'almost' broken wire in the harness which I will never find

Anyway..at least I can sleep tonight

Dude, the wire-monster threw up in your engine bay...

Great to hear the engine runs fine now, and it was such an easy fix too!

What rod bolts are you using and what did they cost? Enjoy your haltech!

carr bolts..came with Carillo rods..so I don't have exact cost

I got the rods, bolts, and venol pistons, wrist pins, and C+B cams and oversized valves for about 900$ (but they were slightly used)

just put a new motherboard into my dell latitude so now I can really tune it on the fly...

x-rad,

I've been following your engine venture. I've been doing my restore of full suspension, brakes, gearbox swap, etc. first. A 3.0 Verde awaits rebuilding with an A/F swap soon. Your detailed rebuild is very siteful as I haven't done one of these motor rebuilds; yet.

What injectors are you using? I am thinking of changing to another set up.

stock remanufactured injectors....more than enough juice flow w/haltech

brookstroutr · Post by **brookstroutr** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 9:07 am

x-rad,

Are the stock ones 19# flow rate? And aren't these high resistance? I am looking at using the BMW Bosch 'M' motronic injectors that are 25# and adapting a fuel rail. This will be easier to R & R and to integrste in the FPR.

stock: around <3ohms = low resistance

Haltech controls duration so plenty of fuel...infact, i can easily make it runn too rich

shouldn't the cigarette seals be sticking out a little when installed?

..all depends on how long you been smokin' it ..

I would think yes to allow it to be driven fully home by the bearing cap.

..hey Luciano de Pasquale rad. Ma why u no put some sauce on dat wiring harness, eh ?? !!

Got yourself a job and-a-half there fella. Just don't lick your fingers when you're finished.

even if the cig seals are sticking out just a little, it does not mean that they have been fully seated at their other end...i like to drive them in as far as possible until flush and just trim off little peripheral excess flashing. Then i fill and gaps w/permatex..this way I know they have been driven all the way in....

da sauce is for da Sunday dinner....

Nice work, x-rad, but man that IS a mess of wires!!

Not much work on mine these days with school for the kids started, but plan to do the front end over the winter.

cheers!
