I'm waiting for him to put this in his car.

Dragonman · 10-09-2017, 02:31 PM

Jeez man, don't give him more insane ideas!

Edit: Not real sure what that is but I'd bet some kind of rocket motor.

Joker75 · 10-09-2017, 02:35 PM

Looks like a turbine, jet engine. That could get interesting.

It's a PT6 turboshaft. Common on kingairs. I think Don used to build little little airplanes. He could figure it out

Dragonman · 10-09-2017, 03:38 PM

Sure he could. Back seat delete, shoe horn it in through the trunk. No sweat.

Yeah. Bunch of anarchists.

Lmao!

hammdo · 10-09-2017, 04:00 PM

I like the turbine to speed turbos from the batmobile ;o)

BD5 could have used a jet engine -- I think one was built too ;o)...

Hell, now you guys are giving me ideas -- jet pack would do it ;o)

Hey -- at least SOMEONE is reading this ;o)

Still worth looking @...

See!

Look what you did ABAD!

<----Looks around for nearest black hole to escape into another universe before Don blows this one up.

ABADZL1 · 10-09-2017, 04:36 PM

It happens. Lol

hammdo · 10-09-2017, 06:13 PM

So, this is not consistent when it goes to 0% Ethanol. Here is a run, where its perfect:

Now, few minutes later, did it again -- started out great, then literally a split second later, went right to 0% Ethanol:

Looking good here:

Now, 2 rpm more, 0% Ethanol:

So, it acts like an electrical issue from what I'm seeing here -- its just sudden -- from ~80% to 0 in just 2 rpm -- and this happens for the next several tests.

Working the electrical/heat angle (did check the fittings -- no leaks anywhere just to be certain).

wonder if its losing connection or getting radio interference from the coil pack. I've seen another flex kit that gets power from the evaporator purge wiring. vs. a coil pack. Could try a different power source

hammdo · 10-09-2017, 07:24 PM

And that is what it appeared to me -- signal loss somewhere. I actually move the connector to another coil pack and tried it -- same thing happened.

The odd thing is, this just started... have not had a problem since I changed out the last sensor. Ran fine, even road raced it... no issues.... last week, just started up...

Waiting on an inline obdii Bluetooth sender so I can data log and watch on the torque app as I test the wiring...
