Though installation would need to wait until I can get this piece of **** out of my garage:
Didn't quite get finished wiring up everything yesterday, wife thought she was going into labor. False alarm. Plan to pick things back up tonight after work.
Good news: wideband, CAN module, and OBDII plug are all wired in to the Megasquirt. Bad news: I was unable to get the narrow band out the manifold. I was trying to go from the top, but ran out of daylight. Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow to push the car to more level ground, put it on jack stands, and mess with it from underneath.
CAN Module issue still isn't resolved, so I hooked up the analog wideband output so I can work on the car in the interim. However, when I connected through Tunerstudio my AFR was freaking out. I tried to revert all the settings I changed getting the CAN Module set up, but I guess I missed something? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
EDIT: I suppose it helps to select a wideband calibration. Car starts, but does not idle. Can keep it running with throttle but seems to run really rich at lower RPMs, then leans out. Of course, this is with basically zero load. Have errands to run, but will get back at it later today.
Success! Got idle to an acceptable level. Main hangup was with hot restarts, but have it idling pretty steady at around 875 RPM. Did a little VEAL, will do some more over the course of this weekend.
Unfortunately I failed at saving a log, oh well. Haven't messed with acceleration enrichments at all, but that's on the to-do list. The real test will be the cold start tomorrow morning.
Hooray! Got the CAN module working. Tunerstudio was changing some settings after I clicked OK in one of the dialog boxes. Now I can start tuning in earnest... After buying a new minivan and having another kid. *sigh*
Speaking of Aidan, he was quite the Rotrex evangelist over in the PDX thread at CR. Has me considering it again. Not thrilled with most of the TDR kit though, which would make it more of a DIY project that I'd really like.
In other news, I should be trading my BRG for a pickup this weekend. Then I'll be free to dispose of the parts car and have my garage back!
Sticking with stock cams, so not much point revving high enough for SUBs to be necessary. At least that's what I got from Emilio's "Engine building ideas" thread.
that's the first step but also the 10th step on your 20 step plan to boost
initially you realize you have a problem
then you realize the problem is much bigger than you thought
