Turbo BS Thread

I know Kurt on CT was able to get his Megasquirt to log knock using a GM knock sensor. I don’t know all of the ins and outs of how he did it but a Megasquirt 3 could possibly be an option on your list of EMS.

 

If you are making a race motor, then get the knock control. It is useful when tuning right up to the knock threshold, but won't be necessary with the average street tune.

 

^ like what he said. Depends on how rowdy of a tune you want. For me I want a 1000 so I know I can just lay into the throttle hard going up a sand hill.

 

You guys have been telling me to get the 1500 wtf

just kidding, but I think 1500 is sweet spot on price vs features, with a little future taco proofing

 

They're 1st gens. You're a 2nd gen. You need the 1500 because that's the lowest model that does throttle-by-wire.

I just ordered a new oil pan mine is super flaky around the factory welds and has a small weep I must of never noticed before when i had the akid plate on 24/7 but i was inspecting the turbo lines and saw it so I cleaned it up and drove some and sure enough it is weeping damn New England winters

 

At least you found it.

Is your drain line bung welded into it?

 

No it’s the thread on but i used red threadlocker so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to unthread it

 

Still can’t figure out the high idle issues. I’m searching high and low for any possible vacuum leaks but today’s turential downpours are slowing that down.

 

I’m afraid these big injectors are just too much...

 

probably leaking from the drain bung if it isnt welded. red loctite isnt that hard

 

Heat it up with propane or similar. Just don't cause a fire.

 

Isn't your TB cable driven? If so, see if you can manually close it some, while it is idling.

 

It’s a completely different spot the drain bung is perfect

 

Yeah, I'm just gonna spring for the 1000, I tend to lay into the engine hard and I'd like to have the added bonus of not detonating it and having another metric to tune around.

 

It’s only $75 difference between the 1000 and 1500

 

Tru dat, I'll have to call Haltech just because I want to know the difference it has listed between the two for short and long term knock mapping. $75 is by no means a deal breaker at this point I'm just curious

 

Just take a couple of them out ans U should be good brah

 

Does the idle adjust when you set it with the haltech? You can try adjusting the changing the stepper calibration on the idle page. From normal to reverse.
