Flex a lite fan fix

Only one of my flex a lite fans is working. A new motor cost anywhere between $80 to $120. I tore it apart to see what was going on. I noticed that 2 of my brushes were not touching the commutator and the wiring had so much oxidation. FYI the springs in a mechanical pencil will not work as a replace...

Here are side by side comparisons! Dyno tune vs 8-bit's gt2876r. I have a problem with boost creep and the boost crept all the way up to 17lbs. So this is what I ended up with. I asked him to tune it safe. I made 318whp on 17lbs and timing was pulled for a final 297whp. The tune is also pretty. I be...

His is probably the greddy TDO6 20g. Mine is the TD05 20g from forced performance. I have the old TSO6, but it needs a rebuild. The oil seals went bad. Eventually that will go back on there.

For the basic maps knock, fuel, timing ect, it's not bad. However, messing with the maf translation, every value has to be imputed manually. There isn't an interpolation function. This is because of my custom maf housing. Excel had to be used to help simplify it.

Everything I'm reading about this turbo says that I shouldn't waste my time with it unless I tune it between 18 and 24lbs. Granted most people that use this are on 2.0L's. Makes sense that the 2.4 would be a little less insufficient. Hell, the greddy kit comes wirh a TDO6 20G the car made 276whp wit...

9.0:1 TDO5 20G 17lbs 293whp

Car is still laggy. My tuner hated nistune because there was no interpolation for the maf translation. He got fed up and used excel to make a curve adjustments. Why would my correction factor be set to 5 when all the tuning was done on 3? Air fuel is still all over the place while cruising. I'm assu...

On my z32 maf, my circuit card fried. I followed the tracks on the board and soldered a jumper wire between the 2 pOints. The jumper is not shownin the pictures. Then use A consult to check your voltage. Also ohm out. Around 1volt should be idle. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n270/671_island_pr...

When I saw that picture on zylvia, I laughed too.

From examining my spare block, it appears that the best place to put my knock sen...

I know in the sr's they wire in a resistor to the harness. Can you explain what other ways are there? I could always bolt the stock sensor somewhere on the intake manifold and then bolt my knock light sensor to the factory spot. Perhaps something like this. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n270/67...

Gizzmo Electronics came out with a knock light. It's $200 for the light and about $60 for the sensor. From what I understand, Turboxs no longer make their knock lights and so Gizzmo decided to make one. More info can be found @ www.tunertools.com.

I was more concerned about the low load region. Anything under a load of 27. I was just unsure as to why it had timing decreases in that area. I compared the whole region to a stock timing map but was only concerned about the difference in timing during low to light cruising.
