New to me - FZJ80 on 40's

[roadstr6]

Like boost do ya? Boost an LS. Or better still drop in a boosted Modular Ford motor and see what fast really feels like.

There's a rumor going around that there was a turn of the key yesterday and Biscuit came to life!

She's breath'n boys!

 

[GLTHFJ60]

YES!!

 

[NCFJ]

Looking forward to seeing this truck.

 

[jamesurq]

Never saw that movie, but I can't imagine they've been through as much as this truck has...

Engine running in MAF elimintation mode
So the tuner needs to use stock MAF to provide air temp to the stock ECU
So some rewiring of the engine harness needs to happen
The new (MAPECU) ecu can clamp it off to the stock ecu so it only sees X voltage

Fun stuff

Should still be on track for July 10th completion... Fingers are crossed.

If I'm being totally honest I don't have a clue as to what any of that means but I'm real happy you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

 

[jamesurq]

Basically the stock computer needs to know the temperature of the air entering the engine - so he needs to use the stock mass airflow (MAF) meter to provide that data.

But yeah, it's a little above my pay-grade as well.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

So you'll have a MAF and MAP. What is the brand of piggyback ECM you're using?

 

[NCFJ]

This is why I have a guy that does all that for me, it'll make ya bug nuts
Electrical wiring I can handle, electronics are a different ball game, all plug and play on my end

 

[jamesurq]

MAPECU 3

 

[jamesurq]

So apparently if all goes well, it'll be tuning today.

Reworking IC piping, and it should be done. Target date is Wednesday.....

 

[elkaholic]

Wednesday August 3, right

 

[lt1fire]

Holy Crap they are only just now starting the tuning process?? I thought most of the hold up was not getting it to tune right?
Good Lordy, sorry haven't checked this thread that much lately.

2 more weeks and it will be all right?

I feel your pain bro and you must be the most patient man in the world. I'm extremely patient but would be spitting nails and breathing fire by now. LOL

 

[jamesurq]

The hold up was that the ECU didn't want to work right. Been through several of them.

And yeah, I'm pretty patient - spitting nails and breathing fire is only reserved for situations that I feel might benefit from that approach. Ya know, cable companies, Lab Corp, At&T, Verizon, etc...

 

[Rice]

Did you say Wednesday? Awesome!!

Don't forget girl scouts trying to sell you some damn cookies.....

 

[jamesurq]

Uhhhh... no. Gotta have Samoas..

 

[lt1fire]

Uhhhh... no. Gotta have Samoas..

It's cool they drop them as they run away......

 

[jamesurq]

Motor is idling, but won't rev up - problem with the ECU communicating with the injectors.

DAMMIT. Hasn't said it won't be ready, but he didn't have to...
