progress of my car

[IJ.]

Thanks CK!

LMAO @ the harness!

When I had mine out and the Wolf one ready to install I sat there in a PILE of wires wondering if it'd ever run again!

Good luck and take some more pics please!

 

[Ckanderson]

Semi Major hurdle crossed today! Pluged in my standalone, and read voltages off the sensors... all were within spec! so that means (so far) my wiring is good!

 

[OneJoeZee]

so you think you'll break 100hp with this current set-up?

 

[Ckanderson]

No

How do the welds look on the Wasabi? Looks like it is braced pretty good...any weak points that may potentially crack?

 

[Ckanderson]

Welded perfectly. and no no places that it might crack... it is very high quality

Oh... and my turbo in now in the mail... I am hoping on 2 weeks before she runs!

LOL I can sympathise with this CK it's a bit of a daunting job and all it takes is one (1) bad connection to stop it all from running! (Ask me how I know this)

 

[csnow]

CK, why did you go standalone? I thought the IJ ECUs were fairly robust and could handle most everthing with a couple of piggy backs.

 

[Ckanderson]

Because it was offered to me at a price that was VERY hard to say no to. Plus I wanted the ability to change all the parameters. Plus... how many people do you know with a 1jz with a standalone... not many... With this unit I can do SO many different things.. it's crazy. plus I can program in a lean run mode for freeway cruising (17.0:1) so ill get hella good gas milage.

 

[drunk_medic]

17.0:1? Won't you blow something going that high above stoich? Most of the high hp guys, during power runs, run rich - about 11.8:1, and "perfect" stoichometeric measurement is 14.7:1. Above that is supposed to be lean. At 17, wouldn't your EGTs be skyrocketing?

 

[Ckanderson]

Since it is at cruise it is alright.

 

[drunk_medic]

Okay. I just didn't want to see anyone's MkIII get "blow'd up". I love these cars.
I just thought that decell would be safe, but cruising still would put enough load on the engine to matter at that AFR. How's 'bout this: Make sure you have wideband and a bad-ass pyrometer if you don't already?

 

[Ckanderson]

I have a wideband. no need for a pyrometer
