Megasquirt dyno day Options

[Bleyseng]

Blair and I made it to the Blood Enterprises shop and met up with Dave Hunt just in time. Kevin showed up a few minutes later and we got to watch Dave convince the owner that this is the day scheduled to do the dyno work and we weren't going away.
Finally, things were straighten out and the car got on the dyno. Dave was running his laptop to tune the car while the dynoguy was operating the car on the dyno. Made several baseline runs so Dave could calibrate his O2 sensor software to the dyno set up. Then the first real pass the 74 2.0L made 73.5hp, not too bad. Then the work started with multiple runs adjusting the A/F curve trying to get the mix close and flat. Had to big spikes in it that had to be fixed. Almost 2 hours later the last pass produced 80.5hp and a better fuel curve without the big spikes.
I test drove the car and it was really smooth, lots of torque.

Hooo doggies, some numbers to look forward too!! BTW, Once I get the stupid

engine in, what the drive train HP loss percentage? I'll be doing some tests on a

gtec, and tuning with that. (if I can tune) What else should I do while the engine is

out (to the engine)? I am converting back to fuel injection, and I will be cleaning the

engine as best I can. I also will be putting on aluminum valve covers I got for 20

bucks. Anything else I can do? I have a very limited budget, so im not going to do a

full blown rebuild. Im going to take the tin off, clean the grime off the engine and tin,

and paint the tin. I will also be fixing the battery tray rust, what should I use to take

off the surface rust so when I weld up metal and Por-15 it? Thanks guys!
