Re: JimmBooost S14 Build "Weekend Warrior"

I've only had 2 sets of cams in mine. The stock 232/232s, and my JWT S1s. I put them in when I was still N/A and it was the single biggest upgrade I had done at that point. Mid and top rang gains are fantastic, with minimal low end loss. There's a dyno sheet somewhere around here from when Sport Com...

Re: Chassing lean/misfire the last 6 Months. Built Longblock

Does it do this with new spark plugs?

You say you have Nistune now? Can you post some data logs of it doing this?

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,

So it must be the coils then. I know this... I used to have to give my car throttle just to start it up due to no IACV. Since getting the car going on this setup, I do not have to touch the gas at all to get it started. I do have to give it a little gas to maintain a steady idle until it warms up a ...

What do you do with wires on your harness you don't use Adam. I always cut and label connectors. I don't remove wires at first until I know for sure everything works okay without it. Then I try to remember to go back and remove as much of it as possible. Head looks good. I'd think about picking up ...

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,

For sure. We've had that full tank of argon for like 6 years now. We got it initially because we thought we might be able to do some aluminum welding with the MIG. But it wasn't possible so it's been collecting dust. I was amazed when we hooked it up and the tank was still full. Well, I drove the ca...

We've all been where you're at. Just commiting to doing it yourself is a good way to start.

Were you able to figure out if the SR valve seals will work in the KA?

More progress. Today I configured my LC-1's analog output to scale from the default 0-5V, to a linear 0-2.5V signal. This is a necessary step if you want to run an analog signal into the factory O2 sensor's ECU pin. I wasn't sure if it was working at first because in my live data screen I was seeing...

Are you using a native SR20DET base tcd or a KA tcd converted to cop as your base? I run the SR20DET tcd with no issues. I previously had issues with the car not starting using a ka tcd(that has been fixed) but I've been running the SR tune ever since. I'm sure I can get the car started using a mod...

I used a KA tune for a Z32 MAF, 810cc injectors and used the COP Wizard. I then went back and modified coil dwell settings for the LS2/LQ9 coils. I'm sure I can get the car started using a modified SR20DET base tune. I'll give that a try. Also, all of a sudden the pieces fell into place and I realiz...

Re: Adam's formerly supercharged... now soon-to-be-turbo'd,

So, apparently when you swap a S13 SR (and of course, the ECU) into a S14 chassis, you have to jerry-rig your a/c by directly connecting some wires. It has nothing to do with the Nismotronic. Using the info from these threads, I was able to get the A/C working this way, along with the e-fans: http:/...

Re: KA'S GETTING HARDER TO FIND?

Yup. This is why I never throw away KA parts anymore. I got really lucky with my last motor and I only had to drive a couple of hours to get a stock motor for $300. KA's weren't used in a lot of vehicles outside of the U.S. SR's on the other hand, were made all over the world.

The coil wires as I first installed them were hanging down within half an inch of the water pump pulley. That made me nervous.

Then I pulled the rotor off and tried to start it with the tune I thre...
