psssshhht

hurry up and get it all installed already........ or are you going to be building up another motor to be safe?

InitialD · 21-09-2005, 11:48 PM

that pic looks BEASTY as ;)

Cant wait for you to get the other LPG stuff to install

EFFalcon · 21-09-2005, 11:49 PM

me? safe?
no

i think i'll boost the current engine.
most of the mechanical side is done.

i'm sourcing a spark ONLY ECU. which will be cheap and easy to tune, parts for that are already on their way.

need to get the LPG side of it sorted (2nd tank etc, just coz i want it)

then a final tune when its all installed, then hopefully not long after it it'll be emmisions tested and engineered (thanks to rmyers for doing heaps of research on that)

don't know when it'll be ready, taking my time due to me needing the car and not having money if things die.

looking good... i guess you won't be worring about trying to get into the 15s anymore hehe

EFFalcon · 22-09-2005, 12:10 AM

i got my 15 second pass on LPG.
now going for 13's on LPG :P

Kenaz · 22-09-2005, 09:28 AM

Looking great John. Can't wait to see it in action one day ;)

spope · 22-09-2005, 09:53 AM

I had no idea you were turbo-ing. That intercooler fits so damn neatly behind that front bar! Can't wait to see it run once it's finished.
So are you looking at gas injection, or sticking with the GRA throttle body?

mcflux · 22-09-2005, 10:29 AM

Hehe, your avatar totally threw me on MSN last night!

Can't wait to see her in action!!!

LTDHO · 22-09-2005, 10:43 AM

John it's looking good.

I can't wait to see it finished.

EFFalcon · 22-09-2005, 10:46 AM

keeping the Gas Research gear, its way to easy that way

niko · 22-09-2005, 11:29 AM

very cheap (to run anyway) and quik car, GO GO RESEARCH

niko · 22-09-2005, 11:31 AM

cough no cat required, not sure bout the other pollution gear, no fuel pumps, no injectors, no wolf 3ds :P cough

mr_efxr · 22-09-2005, 11:55 AM

Looking, looking very very good. Should be plenty of fun once its up an running.

I think you'll need a High Stall now and strengthen up the auto a bit otherwise it wont hold up for much longer. Would be a good idea to safe guard everything now while its apart and put in a trans cooler as the radiator will not do the job for much longer.

Is it gonna be ready for the next cruise? Cant wait.

What boost you putting on?

EFFalcon · 22-09-2005, 12:38 PM

won't be using a high stall to start with.
will look at a shift kit and i've already got a transmission cooler.
beyond that i'll be looking at a transmission rebuild, but thats a later problem.

won't be up and running for a while yet, few other issues to resolve first, only aiming for maybe 8psi, just wanna get a 13 second pass out of it.

Stevo · 22-09-2005, 01:12 PM

yeah looking good buddy, cant wait to see it on the road.

Off topic, but does anyone here own that 10.5sec EA Turbo thats in Performance Ford Mag ?

Damo · 22-09-2005, 02:59 PM

Stevo, that would be ea_ba_turbo.

That looks wicked John, can't wait to see it in action.

gozza · 22-09-2005, 03:04 PM

yeah looks intense
damn all u people with turbos and manuals for that matter
makes me wanna cry

im getting my trans toughened up a bit next week, propper valvebody shift kit and bigger cooler fitted as well as a good service. (we'll put the highstall in when the engine goes in)
its being done by DTM here in geelong, they do a lot of race boxes and do good work (have done a couple of mates commo boxes)

i'll let you know how the shift kit goes, im hoping it wont be too "thumpy" into gears

mr_efxr · 22-09-2005, 06:26 PM

What the COP's don't know won't hurt them. This thing will be an animal.

However - John, you trader!!, you have ditched the N/A club for forced induction.

EASPRINT · 22-09-2005, 06:34 PM

Looking good John......Be good to see how she go's on LPG.

AdzT3-146 · 22-09-2005, 06:34 PM

lookin nice mate, cant wait to see it up and running.

sphell · 22-09-2005, 06:39 PM

awesome ;) Isn't there a web site where you can make a spark only ECU? I remember coming across it one day...apparantly it's popular in the US....can't remember the name though so there really isn't much point to this post....sorry john lol :P

i couldnt get the wastegate to boost lower than 11psi with the spring thats in it. i was aiming for 8 or so too, you might need to get a new spring made up, or shorten the one in it.

is it called Mega Jolt?
if so thats exactly what i'm going to use

its for coils packs and all

MAD · 22-09-2005, 07:03 PM

Looking good there... GO LPG!...lol

Whats this Spark only ECU setting you back? I tried for ages to find one a while back but gave up and did it the mechanical way.

EFFalcon · 22-09-2005, 07:13 PM

the Megajolt is a DIY kit, based on the Ford US EDIS setup.
which the EF has most of.
by the time i have all the parts, it'll have cost about $350
but i have to get it working first ;)

Racecraft · 22-09-2005, 07:27 PM

I thought the MEGAJOLt was still in develpoment stages, I had heard of the MegaSquirt or something being applicable, Got a site for the MegaStuff... sounds like something you'd need at an orgy
