I'm in the process of installing the Beta KitCarlson EMS. Today it ran. I've been working on modifying the wiring harness to match the stock layout. I had one wire in the wrong place today which made it keep running even when the key was off. Fixed that and now it idles great.
Things I've done so far: - Modify the wiring harness. - Buy plug wires that will work with the new coil. - Made an adapter plate to mount the coil in the stock location. Things I still have to do: - Send the harness to Jeff B. for replication. - Fine tune the engine. - Make a mounting plate for the brain to put it in the stock location. |

I'm pretty sure my valves are floating at 4500 RPMs!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
I have 30 year old springs and ChoMoly steel pushrods. Not a good combo. The heads were rebuilt (not by me) before I built the engine. I have replacements on order as well as new AL pushrods. So the engine will be coming out again. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) I haven't put the O2 sensor on it yet, but I definitely will. The unit came tuned for a stock 2.0 when I got it back from Dave. So I haven't changed any settings yet. |
