Looking good so far.You really need to borrow a pressure washer and grab a can of degreaser for that engine bay though.Should make some good power though

 

i got a pressure washer and degreaser, im just a lazy ----.
yeah thats where i have the idle. how do i adjust the timing? with the ecu or should i get a adj. cam gear? the dizzy is cranked all the way.
maybe a link to the thread in mention.

thanks for any help you can give
the car ran like a beast when it was running, i got some great WTF looks from these jeep guys up the street, it really looks like a ---- box but it flys.

 

Be careful not to give too much timing or your motor will detonate.
To set ignition timing you first have to jump the harness near the heater blower.
Then with a timing light see what the timing reads. If your dizzy cant move any more just adjust the cam gear and
check your timing again. My cam gear is retarded 7 degrees or so and my ignition timing is 16 degrees.
But what do I know?

 

Who said clean the engine bay? This is HMT nig nog.

 

my thought exactly.

 

Not much of anything if your cam is retarded 7 degrees for no reason.

Set your whole ignition map to 16 degrees, and then set your base timing with the distributor. Set your ignition map back to normal, and adjust the cells where it idles until it idles nicer.

Adjustable cam gear is nice if your head/block was decked/milled but otherwise you don't really need one.

 

Looks good. I was going to tell you about the home built turbo, but it looks like you found out. BTW how is the mani holding up?

 

manifold held up fine but i only drove it for like 2 weeks before the turbo ---- itself.

minor threat, thanks for the information about the timing.

 

Pretty nice build on this one.

I still agree with others on degreasing the engine bay but whatever, I'm sure you'll get around to it sometime.

How are the motor mounts holding up with that masking glue ----? Does it vibrate rough?

 

dosent really vibrate much, havent tried to launch yet, but they are holding up good.
