Re: pcv and catch can question

gtrpryde, I had recently thought about doing mine the way you have it illustrated above, but the thing I am seeing as a problem with your proposed setup is that there is nothing pulling the vapors out of the crankcase into the can when the engine is under boost.

Nevermind, asked Summit Racing. They told me the Mallory coils are only compatible with old points style distributors. I went ahead and got the MSD high vibration version of the Blaster. How long have you guys known the Blaster coils to last?

Mallory ignition coils

I have been running on an MSD Blaster 2 coil for about five years now and I am about to change out all my ignition components for new ones. I have seen that the Mallory coils put out between 51-58000 volts with more windings vs. the MSD Blaster coils. Anyone run the Mallory coils before? Does the di...

I am actually running an SR rail on my KADE. The main thing to focus on is not to twist the injectors while pushing them in with new o-rings. A straight push downward is all that is needed. I have ruined many new o-rings by not doing just that. Lower injector o-rings on are super sensitive and I hav...

Me three. I dont see why you would need to install a resistor. You might be thinking of another model of MSD coil. Ive been running mine wired straight after cutting off the stock harness since 2006, no issues.

engine management, what do you SC guys do differently?

I dont plan on going SC, but someone I know is entertaining the idea. I would think that since the boost comes on earlier and the powerband of a SC car is different than a turbo car, that your fuel/ignition maps would need to reflect the different powerband. I would think that the fuel side of thing...

Seemed like it was more boost specific, I should have paid attention to the RPMS. But I could modulate the throttle and keep it whining if I tried. Drove the car again later and it did not do it anymore. Maybe it has to do with driving for almost an hour before I noticed the whine.

high pitched whine from GT28R

Just last night and this morning I noticed that starting between 3 and 4 lbs. of boost my GT28R makes a high pitched whine and then goes away after 4 lbs. or boost or so. What could this be about? Its been watercooled its entire life and has at most 35-40K on it. Any suggestions?

It kind of depends on the gear and the situation, but I routinely see 10 psi around 4K rpm more or less. You'll hit 10 psi very quickly I can tell you that. You won't need to downshift on the highway from 5th either, just mash it and you'll be hauling ass up to 100 in seconds.

Is it possible to datalog and change your tune, rather than dyno and change your tune? Given that you have a wideband of course.

turbine a/r question

Does a larger turbine a/r equate to any signifigant reduction in backpressure? For instance, on a KA, would there be a difference in exhaust flow between a .64 turbine on a GT28R vs. a .86 turbine on a GT2871 to make it worth upgrading to? How much more backpressure would the latter have vs. your st...
