:tup: Goodluck.
Well, after a few hours here/there this week and most of the day today Im pretty sure I finally have the trigger issues fixed.
I drove it a bit today and had no strange popping, no sync errors near idle, etc. Its like a whole new car compared to before.
I verified timing with a light, its rock solid over rpm etc.
Gonna try to do some more tuning this weekend and probably get it over to the dyno late next week or sat.
Yay.
Dan
Fuckig sick, I love this build. Has to be one the best cav builds ever, have you ever seen anything close to the workmanship of your type of car for inspiration purposes?
Thanks! I didnt really use another cavy for inspiration on this. Sorta an accumulation of years of not liking things I built… the constant tweaking and tinkering got me here.
Todays update:
Changed the oil this am and then went out for an hour of tuning tonight. No sync errors still. Its quite driveable and its sorta tuned up to about 10psi. Only thing that sucks is a 1300rpm idle, lol.
It pulls pretty good at 10psi. I cant wait to get a real tune.
Also the cutout sounds n u t t y.
Gonna try to get some vids tomorrow.
Dan
Yeah def get some vids up :tup:
so after almost a month, I got a little time to work on it today.
Plan was to swap cyl 1 and 4 injectors to see if the wet and lean plugs either swapped, or balanced things out. Well, I started to take the rail off and one of my fn fuel rail straps broke off the flange at the weld - awesome.
So, I pulled the intake, rewelded the strap (on both sides this time) and reassembled everything. It took about two hours to get everything fixed and back together. Of course by then I was out of time. Hopefully Ill get some time to take it out tomorrow, if not monday.
Dan
Took the car out yesterday for a bit with injectors 1 and 4 swapped. Now cyl 1 is the lean and cyl 4 looks close to normal (or at least the same as 2 and 3). I really need to pull the injectors and have them cleaned and flow checked - maybee Ill be visiting New Era tomorrow. Im just not sure whats up. Im wondering if the one that is lean is the new one that I had to replace earlier this year. Racetronix was supposed to match it to my original order, but maybee they didnt. Or its a different one with an issue ( I wasnt careful to mark them, oh well ).
Dan
Sweet, must be a good feeling coming towards the tail end of the project. This is one that I doubt you’ll ever say is done. haha. Hopefully we get to see it at Letchworth.
Hah, thanks. Im hoping to be there wiht it. Either way Ill be there.
Injectors are out ready to take to New Era, hopefully tomorrow. It turns out the bad one isnt the new one. I could tell by the wear on the sides of the body from my old intake mani injector cups. So maybee whatever killed m other one, damaged this one as well.
Guess Ill find out soon.
Dan
Just got off the phone with Mike. My one injector wont clean up, it needs to be replaced. I havent seen the flow numbers yet but I hear it was quite low.
I think Im gonna replace the one for now and then switch to something more reliable this winter. Sounds like these delphi injectors arent the best.
Now I gota order a new one from Racetronix. There goes another week of downtime. 
Dan
Foreward progress is a good thing, i’m looking forward to the final #'s!!
So I didnt get flow rates for the low one, but I did get the resulting volumes for all 62 / 103 / 100 / 103cc.
I already got a tracking number from Racetronix. Hopefully that means it will ship tomorrow latest.
Dan
Injector due monday!! whooo
With any luck maybee Ill get tuned before the picnic.
Dan
Got the injector in last night, but had no time to go tuning.
However, tonight I went out with the new injector and the results were FUCKING AWESOME. I went out for about 20 mins of datalogging and all looked great. AFR in boost was rock solid, throttle response was great, etc etc etc. I came home and chekced the plugs they are all identical. WIN.
So I just need to figure out the high idle and do some more tuning and schedule a dyno appt soon.
YAY!
Dan
Good job. congrads
Almost there :tup:
Ya man. Totally getting there. Im sure there will be more issues, but I think Im over the biggest bumps. Barring any unseen disaster it will almost def be at the picnic.
Dan
:tup: def want to see this!
sweet, glad to hear mike at newera was able to find out what was going on.
when is this picnic.
the 26th. theres a thread for it in the official meets section
