Re: Speed Gov. Question

never, ever pass your tire's speed rating. losing a tire at 120MPH is going to ruin more than one person's day. if you happen to be in a location where you can legally run up to or past your limiter, its your life(and presumably no one else's) in the balance. anywhere other than that, you'll deserve...

Re: Speed Gov. Question

so...... what are the speed ratings on your tires? because that is generally where GM set the limiters at in a factory calibration.

Re: Rich smelly and farty - part 2 saga continues

43 is the knock sensor. with it set, the PCM removes a set amount of timing in all conditions, which will cause drivability issues, including a crap idle. it could even be the cause of your DTC45.

since you have a tech1, this will certainly be helpful.

Re: Speed Gov. Question

depends on what is meant by bypass.... you could build some semi-elaborate hardware to simulate the speed sensor's signal and selectively feed that to the PCM when above a certain speed, making the PCM think you're sitting at 100MPH when you pass that threshold.... not the greatest idea, but i can v...

Re: Oil Question...

But I have to admit I start having heart palpitations once the Quad gets past 3000 miles even on Mobile One. could always have an oil analysis done.... they're cheap enough these days. i want to say less than $20/shipped for most services? I was trying to say that 0W30 would not have the same prote...

Re: Oil Question...

Okay, but there is still an issue with higher bearing loads under heavy acceleration when the engine is still cold -most people don't bother warming-up their engines anymore before taking off and driving their cars. Thinner oils do not provide as much protection in this case. so, you think a 0W-30 ...

Re: Oil Question...

at full operating temp, a 0W, 5W and 10W oil for a given grade(30, 40, 50) are all more or less the same viscosity. the differences between them is when they're under that temp(212*F), the lower the W number, the better it flows. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/motor-oil-101/ there's a good start. a 1...

Re: Oil Question...

why would you run 10W anything if a 5W or 0W alternative exists?

that's because WinALDL is only intended for 160 baud units.... tunerpro will do either.

Re: Datalogging and/or tuning your OBD1 Beretta

92-93 airbag = A125
93-94 airbag = A242

i've built the A125 definition before, but i never bothered with A242 apparently, it's not in my archive.

Re: 94-95 OBDI.5 TUNING AVAILABLE!

you could run someone else's calibration.... not that i would recommend it. everybody has their own preferences as to what they like.

Re: Oil Question...

5W-30.... there is no place for 10W-30 in todays world. at operating temp, there is no difference in viscosity(hence the -30 rating). this is somewhat incorrect, since there is a range of vsicosity allowed to be certified as a -30, but for purposes of comparison, they're the same. at anything less t...
