Also some custom SADFab (aka sean) products. Oil temp adapter from BSPT to NPT. This will go in the oil pressure port. Its kind of an experiment. Its a post cooler location, but it also wont see much flow. So i'm hoping it will at least capture stead state cooling data. But I bet it will lag real temps pretty good. Also some delrin fuel rail spacers.

 

Big +1 for having a radius on that part. Blows my mind how something so simple is ignored by so many folks. Keep up the good work, makes me want to clean up my engine bay, it's full of loose hoses everywhere.

 

Props to @hi_im_sean. Last time he made one for me someone complained the radius was not big enough. So he went all out this time.

 

I don't need one right now, but I would buy that fittings. It's better than the one I used last time. Good part Sean!

 

Its a temp sensor, so i'm not actually sure how well it will work. I'm curious though, seems like pressurized oil wont have many air bubbles in it, but who knows if it will stagnate.

 

You could install it with a 45 so bubble will flow up hill.

 

I don't care that much. Its just for data.

 

From design to printing to install in one night. 3D printers are cool.

6AN and 10AN hose separator.

 

Got a bunch of little things done today. Extended the CAS wiring, added VVT, repined IAC and TPS. Added VICS.

Also mounted the bumper, added this support for mounting it. And trimmed the undertray to fit the intercooler piping

 

Rebuilt the VVT actuator tonight. Does anyone know the torque specs for the 4 M6 bolts on the cover?

 

Curious why you rebuilt it, was it acting up or not working? I accidentally took my VVT actuator apart once, wow what a pain it was to reassemble correctly. I would not ever take it apart again unless it wasn't working right.

I just torqued mine to about 10-12 ft*lbs. Probably not correct but have had no problems, couldn't find a torque spec at the time.

 

This motor died due to dead bearing. so I wanted to get every possible oil path cleaned out. It really wasn't bad, just lost the apex springs like 5 times.

 

It looks like you paid as much attention to where the seals went as I did. I read someplace (after pulling it apart) that you are supposed to get the seals in the original locations in order for them to seat properly. Hope that fella was wrong!

 

...oops. Good thing i have a spare lol.

 

Can I get some input on this spark map. I built it based off a map I built for Ed last year. It should be quite conservative, and a good starting point. I have an EGT sensor so if its too retarded I will be able to tell.



@18psi @Savington

 

Too conservative

 

What fuel and boost level do you plan to run?

At 310kPa, 6,500, I run 14* on E85. Could run more, have run more, but that's what I'm at right now. I've run 17* @ whatever kpa 38 PSI is around 7500-8500 on E85 with no knock. Pretty sure no knock, because would esplode at that boost level if it knocked.

 

Too conservative where?

For now Oregon 92. And my goal is 350hp to start with. So 20+ psi? The plan was to go to the dyno and raise boost until I stop making power, or start knocking

 

I mean, unless its some crazy alloy...



(coarse threads, because fine are different)

 

I think it's into aluminum
