3800 Series III Turbo...

QUOTE· Posted on Mar. 04 2007,19:24  ÂÂÂ
Why the knock reduction at 2 psi?
I thought you were running a supercharged ECM?

I want the details


I really literally have not driven this thing wot for more than 5secs...when I got it out of the garage I just added a few % of fuel "don't want to buy the farm" lol. In any event, I had noticed some knock not confirmed if  false or real...more than likely false, because I took some of the fuel added out and it peak'd at about 4 deg. on just 2psi (from 7*). I have some work to do with the tuner...especially add the WB o2 A/D to supplement my tune.
I won't be able to get to it till I fix my shifter cable though, heat & 19 yrs have gotten to my cable; have to get one made pronto...

I am not using the supercharged bin...can't really do it without a grip of work, which IMO not worth it. I used the N/A software and hardware way before any tuner for these engines were available, I think the N/A software is more powerful stock in some areas especially were I want it...eg
timing and transmission duties...
thanks again guys

Try making a new post instead of posting in current post about something that has nothing to do with the original subject.

I apologize and I will as soon as someone tells me how, considering the fact that I'm new to the site plus I'm also used to working on a 1983 pontiac 5.0 L/305 C.I.D.
so I couldn't begin to tell you how to beef a FWD 4-cylinder so the rest of the car will hold that kind of power. I just know it can be done, a prime example is an article I read about a 620WHP Acura Integra.

On the bottom right of this post there is a button that says "New Topic".  Try that one.

Just to update nocutts info, I took this pic about couple months ago. --X-- on bstuff keeps the car warm; just thought I will share these three pics.







The car painted some weird color that seems deep deep blue early in the morning but is black when there is less light. I like it; is is also currently running about 6 psi; we are planning to update with newer vids. Several vids exist but we need consent to post those.
