Subject: Re: Engine rebuild/upgrade project by sliding on 2010/8/10 18:14:24 ............. update Finally I have some good news. I've found a small crack on PCV hose and installed a new O2. Along with a new tune from Mick, it gave some really good results. I'd really like to thank Mick (mseven) for all of his help. Idle is much smoother and there is no more smoking. There is still some fuel smell but I believe it's mostly because of the cam size. I've ordered eprom emulator from Craig Moates and I'll try to play with the tune myself a little bit with real-time tuning. I believe that it should make things much easier. But even without that, I'm really happy with how engine runs now. I've driven the car for a little bit and it's much better than I expected. It's really drivable even in the low rpms. But when it gets past 3k rpm, it really starts to feel powerfull. Throttle response is absolutely great. I still need to try out the WOT driving but I'll do that after a couple hundred miles, after some break-in driving. Also, I did a new exhaust a few weeks ago, so here are a few pics of it:   |
