Pushrods, boost, and Megasquirt
For the past like 2 weeks I've been working my *** off trying to get my car done for the track. Well it didn't make it to the track for some stupid reasons, but the install is done. The car has been fighting this the whole way, its been problem after problem, and some long days/nights.. the car still isn't running because Megasquirt isn't getting a tach signal for some reason but other than that, its almost ready to go.
The motor will probably go sooner or later, but i am working on building a new motor for my senior project
Setup
98 Chevy Cavalier 2200 (non-eco) pushrod motor
Megasquirt v2.2
.42/.48 50 trim turbo
Nissan BOV that is exactly like a 1g
JRC FMIC
Racing Solution and LSD charge piping
t-bolt clamps
6 couplers
Stealthmode Special edition nig nog oil lines 1 of 2
30 lb/hr ford red tops
ebay catch can
SS autoshit external wastegate
7psi spring
Log manifold
open down pipe and dump tube
Onto the pictures
FMIC in my kit
Open downpipe and dumptube...(it will be brought to an exhaust shop and no more openness)
SS Autoshit gate and .42/.48 turbo
Hotside under ECm heat wrapped with my "custom" heat shield
Nissan BOV in fender
and the top pipe welded, (done with my fluxcore)
Megasquirt on my dirty gross floor
Boost gauge, don't mind the blue ricerific painted dash..i was young and stupid when i did that it will soon be changed
Everything was welded by me, except the BOV piping, skinnye's bro tig'd..Hopefully i can get it idling tonight and running tomorrow, or the next day..
