Re: battery relocate wire quality

I got the same exact oil catch can in the same exact spot of my 240 ... lol .... I got 4 gauge copper clad on my 240 now from the back to the front and it cranks just fine. No issues. I guess what i could do is just buy the solid copper line and do a test crank with it on the 240 to see if it cranks...

battery relocate wire quality

So i am going to do a battery relocate to the rear and going to use 4 gauge wire, do you think there will be a slower crank or an issue with charging if i used copper clad vs oxygen free solid copper ??

Suggest you check with your insurance company. I had a rebuilt title car at one time, it sucked. Tried Farmers, Allstate, Geico, Progressive... none would insure it.

What all did your sheet show on the injector cleaning? I know you probably did, but the injectors ohm'ed out within spec too? Perhaps check the voltage at them too.

built motor, turbo, had JWT ecu with Z32 maf (blow thru) and 615cc side feed high impedance for a several years. No issues.

Re: 615cc inj stock ecu

Okay so the one that sticks out for me is changing from stock mafs to z32 and same result with same ecu and same injectors. So two things keep coming to mind. Open loop and closed loop circuits. Perhaps do a voltage or resistance check on the tps if you haven't yet. IIRC supply shouldn't be a probl...

The maf is about 12 inches from the intake manifold, its a blow thru setup. It sits where the oem battery location is .. vacuum reads 24 inches.

Re: 615cc inj stock ecu

That's strange. What you're describing is textbook IM leakage; runs lean at idle under vacuum (sucking extra un-metered air in=>lean) and rich under boost (letting metered air out =>rich). Not to challenge you but, how do you know there is no leakage? you did a boost leak test and it's good? The ma...

Re: 615cc inj stock ecu

Have you pulled codes on the ECU? curious if it reveals anything. I suspect you have a vacuum leak. Do a boost leak test. I'd start looking around the intake manifold. could be a cracked gasket, hose, etc. all ecu codes are emission related, no vacuum leak, no cracked gaskets, no boost leaks... not...

You have a chipped ECU right? JWT? Chances are you have a bad capacitor or something like that in your stock ECU.
