I gapped my plugs down this morning to .03 and I'm boosting to 16psi great now.

But my coil hard wire still isn't working.

Hopefully have some time here soon to play with it more.

Searched:Ignition hard wire from tech article not going well

So i just replaced the block and pistons after some piston slap after about 30k miles running 15lbs of boost. She is just about broken in and i ran her into boost the other day. there is a pretty sharp ignition cut right at 7psi. Base timing is set to factory. charging system may be a bit weak. spar...

I lifted the head on a turbo D16 on 4 separate occasions and it sealed BACK each time. Replaced the head bolts with ARP, replaced the stock MLS gasket for good measure.

i agree with the general conses us that i need a wideband. The **** part is i HAVE a wideband and know how to use it.

I know how to set base timing, but thank you for the reference. 2 degrees retarded from what you call the best base timing will not cause this type of failure. I have the decoded .bin file for the jwt ECU and the timing maps are WAY conservative to me. I called CP pistons direct today and got an eng...

I actually have a wideband i have used on other projects.

So is this a detonation caused from a lean mixture or improper timing? Not sure how a wideband would fix the afformentioned detonation issue if it is purely timing related.

Jwt ecu, just set base timing to 18 If I remember correctly. When I have some more time and have paid off some bills I'm going to go with a user programmable ecu of some kid and tune with a wideband. I built this car a long time ago back when I didn't know how to tune an engine, so the jwt ecu was a...

Im not sure the exhaust valve guide seals had much of anything to do with it. But i did have the puff of blue smoke from stoplights. That was my first clue to the seals going bad. The car ran 16lbs of boost 100% of the time. This doesnt look like normal wear and tear to chalk up to excess boost. and...

Hello, I have a KA-T that is about 5 years, 40k miles old. She has been running strong with few complaints. About a year ago a few of my exhaust valve guide seals went bad after sitting for 6 months. This was verified during an exhaust manifold replacement. I figured no biggie, when i drive this car...

im that friend of makoto.

before the 6al, even at 10psi i was getting craptastic ignition cut.
The 6al and blaster coil improved my highway gas milage by 5mpg and city milage by 3mpg. (to about 25/11) Not to mention it runs like a raped stepchild at 1bar now.

there isnt a market for it. the only reason the S chassis is kicking ass right now is cause they are old and cheap and a great platform. If they make another S chassis type car its going to do the same thing the original did. fail. Then once they get a little older and us poor college/and or/young e...

yes it will loosen up some. but this is taken into consideration when assembling the motor and setting bearing tollerances. .001 is too small, and you are asking for trouble down the line with that kind of thickness.

.001 is TIGHTER than a 6yr old girl. Take the advise from someone that learned the hard way, that a previos engine builder set tollerances to .0015 and was a contributing factor in its failure. This time i built my motor myself and set the tollerance to .0028, measured with a dial bore gauge, and th...
