That's pretty much the plan at this point. Megasquirt is being worked on at home in evenings though, whereas car is at friend's shop and I can only work on it when he is there, which is weekends and till 6:30pm weekdays (unless I take a day off of work).
Plus putting in rear control arm bushings and hopefully diff bushings on Saturday. |
I'm late to the party, but I might be free to come BS and drink beer for a while. You can all laugh at my measly 1.6 and MS1.
|
You and i should race. 1.6 + MS vs 1.8 + stock ECU.

Hey guys send me your tunes to taborbraian@gmail.com. I'm going to send them to Scott so he can look at them this next few weeks before coming to Indy. Thanks
|
Will do
|
I have sent all the tunes to Scott. He said he will look at them as soon as he can. Thanks!
|
Looks like the weather for Friday 13th will be decent with a high of 50. I hope it doesn't change!
We are planning on strapping my car up Thursday evening and start tuning Friday at 8am. |
We gotta get my car driveable so i can show up in the ugly turd. :giggle: I wanna see if i can bribe Fathouse to get a baseline pull on it while it's 100% stock.

Maybe! I'd be ecstatic.
You working this weekend? |
One day out - any updates or thoughts?
We going to have dinner tomorrow night or grill or whatever? |
I think they're strapping hhammerly's car tonite so they're ready to go first thing tomorrow morning.
Not sure on food things. Gonna warn you dudes ahead of time that if my wife isn't feeling up to it, i'm probably not up for dinner either. She's in night school, so i really only see her Friday and Saturday evenings now. I'll ping her tonite and see if she'd want to go to dinner with some Miata fruitcakes, though. :giggle: Oh, and my car is currently on jack stands with non-functioning brakes still in btabor's garage, so i'll be there in the Cherokee. :( |
If it makes your wife feel more comfortable, I'll bring mine too. That way she's not overwhelmed by all of us homos.

Oh she doesn't care about that, it's more of a "How tired will she be after her 70 hour week?" type of deal, and still has to work on Saturday. I almost feel bad, because.... i worked 24 hours this week and am getting two three-day weekends in a row. :giggle: Oh, and text me to remind me to throw your pipes in my truck. |
Yo, what time are we showing up?
|
My car is on the dyno and ready to go, harold and i spent most of the day messing with the flex fuel sensor, looks like he will be tuning on gas only tomorrow the flex fuel sensor is jumping all over the plase on gas 😣 could have purchased a lot of race gas for what he has on that dam thing
|
So far my measly 1.6 pulled 243hp at 11.5psi!
|
I just got home! Rained about 1/2 of my drive but once it cleared up I ran my car through a "battery of test situations."
I think I figured out why my car was acting strangely on the way to the BBQ place: My stock ECU was still controlling the EGR valve and with it not even seeing the coolant sensor it likely was opening it in order to warm my engine up... Once I diconnected the EGR valve plug things went much better. Unfortunately this is after Scott left my vehicle to work on Harold's car. Did he figure it out by the way? By the way, I made about 225lb/ft and 230 something HP. I'll post logs and a video later. |

Ben ( DIYAUTOTUNE ), i can not thank you enough for making this possible, Scott is a genuanly nice guy full of knowledge and happy to help us learn how to work on our Megasquirt's (thanks Scott!!)
I hope that you keep him and other Megasquirt knolagable tunners providing this invaluable service to your customers, it was without a doubt the best money spent on my build it saved me from having to get another set of pistons. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1426334759 http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/...1AF32970BA.jpg |

If anyone wants to download the viewer for the .drf files here is the page you can download it from:
Dynojet Research Inc. Downloads "You want WinPEP 7 dyne run viewer" Here is my final dyno plot. For some reason it's not keeping the same dyno corrections from the location. I will have to figure out if it's possible to set that in WinPEP. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1426361155 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...1&d=1426361812 Surprised no pics yet. Here is the youtube from my final run: |
Harold, how is the car now that the roads have dried out? I bet it's nuts!

My car may have 243hp but it's still a 1.6l and it doesn't get wild or spin the tires in 2nd. Maybe is my suspension and tires combo. Anyhow, should be easy to autocross!
|
Brian, can you post a screenshot of your .drf and attach it here? I'm interested to see how it compares.
|
I posted it under dyno/time sheets

No, we were out getting lunch for everyone when your full pulls were going on. :(
I'll figure out how to work my real camera (that was phone video) and we should all go back for an hour or two once the purple car is up and running so i can get a baseline dyno. Maybe i'll bring Crystal and she can take video of all of them. :) |
