Alex L. Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Runs like dick thanks to the TPS being confused, but it started. I'll call that a victory. Beware the horn at 1:22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex L. Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Tap tps with small hammer works every time It's reading 5v at rest and 5.08v at WOT. I don't know if I can fix this one with a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex L. Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Big thanks to my buddy Matt for helping me get it running again. Next up, clutch break in and tune! Isn't it brand new?? Yeah it is, always plug it into the correct connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 So, the TPS is fine, then? If that's the case, always glad when it's an easy fix but still a bit funny as to why it wasn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a TPS and a sub TPS on these cars apparently, I had the sub TPS harness plugged into the regular TPS which apparently doesn't do anything.

Alex L. Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Gotcha. It seems they're not interchangeable. :gabe: Not quite. It's the same plug, there's just the small detail where one works and the other doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versluis Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 this is awesome. What kind of HP does a build like this bring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 this is awesome. What kind of HP does a build like this bring? I'm hoping for around 1000whp on the stock bottom end, but I'll be happy with anything over the 846whp and 666lb/ft it made before. They're usually pretty stout until you make 700lb/ft with them, so it'll be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want more HP build that spare block then retune it on an 88mm. You are going to be a sad puppy when she starts Throwing parts out.

I never said I'd be racing at that power level. just adjust your rpm sync on the dyno and you can get the dyno to say whatever you want. :gabe: It would be more impressive to just have a nice safe tune and race all year without having the car down for another 24 months due to a windowed block. Hell I don't even have a dyno sheet for my car. only the little video SP did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, what it makes, it makes. As the old adage goes, "track numbers matter, dyno numbers don't". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
