Got it running and out on the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

The tune is close but it will take a few days to dial it back in. The first thing to attack is the transient throttle; kind of jumpy at zero throttle input and cruising.
The new primary injectors are really big so some tweeking is in order.

I'm tired time for a beer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Starts with no throttle input. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

That awesome, glad you were able to get it going. Can't wait to see it run.
Sounds like you'll be ready for WCR. It's nice when hard work pays off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Thanks for all the encouragement!

oh, Lennie, It is fast! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Time to tweek the tune a little. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) Got to get on the freeway and see if it will still put your head back in the seat in 4th gear as it quickly aproaches (and exceeds) 100mph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Running way too rich right now. O2 says I'm at 8.1 @ 10psi. Time to tune down the secondary injectors. Looking to be around 12 @ 10psi. I'm starting by reducing pulse width by 25% and see what happens.

Well WCR was the first real outing with the turbo rotary. I think it's too radical to be streetable. Too loud. Too much fun. But ultimately no suited for my driving style. Hammer on!

I think Andrew has talked me into another swap. 1.8t and tranny from an Audi/VW. On the hunt now! Thinking of buying an entire car to pull apart. Maybe an entire harness swap. Couldn't be that hard. At least it will be all German again.

Anyone need a rebuilt 901 with an H gear? Need to finance my next swap with parts from the old swap.

Stay tuned for part 3... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Why not de-tune it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)



















And then do another car with the 1.8t for the wife. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

I need something more reliable like my V8. Nothing really is as relaible as a chevy V8 but I want to enjoy the car and not be worried everytime I take it out. Looks like I may have a buyer for the first blown engine. If I can unload the rest of the drive train, it will finance the swap. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I can't leave well enough alone... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Seeing the green subie driven from Idaho is plenty of motivation. I would never drive this combo that far.

OHhhh Man!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thats exactly my thoughts as well, pull the entire harness and start from scratch... You could even keep the climate control system.

I think a megasquirt system is what you might want to go with though.. Unless you want to spend $900 on tuning software and license.. If you do, Get a drive by wire car as they can adjust more parameters and you can run a MAF less file.

Also the AEB head (early) is a large port head and flows better out of the box. They also have bigger wrist pins, but you should upgrade your rods anyways (if you plan on running more than 350hp).. Cheap insurance and thats ALL you need to touch on those 1.8's...

034 motorsports will be your friend if you like spending money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) They can dyno tune really well.

It doesn't get any nicer than an LS1.
Too common? Psh. I think you are ready for it.

LS1 is cool but too much $$$ when you price the adapter, ECU, etc... The best LS solution is the smag legal crate motor. Still $8k complete plus $1k for the adapter. At that rate, I might as well go 3.6L. Which would be cool but I really cant afford to fix a Porsche 6.

The Audi/WV needs no adapter, is smaller and I can use the factory stuff if I pick up the whole car. It's not the first time I stripped the harness and motor out of a donar car.

$9k for a lifetime bulletproof mega powerplant doesn't sound bad. Just sayin...
