New Project - Skunkwerks EM9D
I got the exahust bolted up and she sounds sweet! I still need to weld on the hangers, just put some heavy wire for now so I could test drive it. I also need the down pipe, stupid soot got all over the bumper
I took it on the freeway and it drives really nice, floor it and the power is there. I was in a little heavy traffic and some bitch comes up beside me and toots her horn and waves her hand in front of her nose - maybe she farted I let her know she was #1 in my book.
I made a change to the bypass valves so that the 70mm bypass is closed at idle and the S/C bypass is open. This way the intake at idle is going through the S/C and the motor is getting a little more air. This should help with the bit of smoke I am getting at idle and it also helps with the crank case breather by providing a vacuum from the rotors of the S/C. I test drove it after the change and it made a difference, a little more power as well.
I am also going to add a MBC (Manual Boost Controller) to the ALDA to gain more control of when more fuel comes in. The spring that is in there starts to add fuel at 7 psi and that seems to be too soon and I am getting a bit too much smoke off the line. Once the air catches up the smoke goes away.
I need to go to Pick-a-Part and get some vacuum orifices to dial in my trans shiftingproblem - I think I need smaller one to reduce the amount of vacuum. I also need a new hood latch handle- pos broke.
