Well it beens an interesting 6 months since the low-end rebuild was completed and this was the first day that I've really felt the car was back to its previous self.
I pulled off the stock FI (ECU, MPS, TPS) and replaced it with the Megasquirt v2.2 FI Controller. This was my first drive without the computer plugged in to do programming. Thanks Dave Hunt for the dyno'd VE table & others for your guidance. I've made a few boo-boos along the way - like pluggin the MAP sensor into the throttle body instead of the air plenum - but its been a challenging experience so far. And I'm not done yet. I'm just thrilled to have the car back to its quick, agile, responsive self again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Details and pics to follow later. Enjoy! |

OOOOOOeeeeeee! - She screams!
I just spent the best $250 ever on my 914 by going to the Dyno. And not just your regular everyday dyno either. DYno-Comp here in Scottsdale, AZ has a dyno that applies continuous load so that you get a much more accurate representation of driving loads, where most dynos use a free-wheeling drum to simulate load. One solid hour of dyno time produced a VE table that would have taken weeks to get right. It turned out to sufficiently different than Dave's - primarily because I have the WEB73 cam. SO with Euro pistons, WEB73 cam I'm gettin 90HP to the wheels at 5200rpm, and over 100FtLbs of torque at 4500rpm. Also the Torque curve goes from 75 to 100 to 75 from 1800 rpm over to redline. Too cool! Driving the car is a blast again. I was finally able to get the car through emissions Friday. One month and $300 was all it took! I couldn't have done it without the help of Don Jackson's Independent Porsche. Herb: I will be mounting in the rear trunk. The ECU and Relay board are right next to each other. For my temporary test phase they're tape (double-sided) to each other and the trunk carpet. Pictures will be coming tommorow. Enjoy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/givemebeer.gif) |
