Well, I finally decided to take the car to a chassis dynometer shop to fine tune my LINK fuel injection.

After calling a few places I picked a shop that actually sounded interested in helping me*. I called a few shops that wouldn't touch the car 'cause they know nothing about the LINK or worse yet, I found a shop that knows the LINK, yet wouldn't help since the Type IV motor is too unknown to them??? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) What the???

Anyways, the shop owner, KC asked that I drop off the software so that he can load it on his shop laptop and view/learn the software. He also would prefer that I hang out and learn something while the car is on the dyno.

I have the car running, but I'd like to get it tuned much quicker than at the pace I am doing it by driving up and down my street (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/MDB2.gif)

I figured McMark and possibly James M would be interested in hanging out and learning something as well. I'll ask KC how many newbies I can invite (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif)

I may not show up with a 914. I have no lights wired up other than brake lights, and between work and weekend honey-dos, I dunno when I'm going to get some free time to wire it up enough that I'd be happy to drive it to Concord and back. If the dyno guy is going to take a week, then maybe I can get it done this weekend. It would be interesting to dyno this thing, though. Long-stroke Type IV with an unknown bore that's suspected to be 96mm (thus, 2.2L exactly), with IDFs and an unknown cam. I don't even have a tach wired in, so I've not really pushed the car all that hard.

I'll certainly show up to gawk though, if I can, uh, "work from home" that day...
