Project Talon - Screaming Eagle

[x-pride]

I would recommend if possible to get an Eprom ecu for your car.

I don't plan on running Link so I do not know if that would be necessary. I should figure out how to use my laptop as a logger though. Hopefully the AFC can tune me far enough.

I don't know if you can do the samething on a 2g Eprom, but on a 1G it does wonders. For example elimnate the dreaded fuel cut, change fuel mapping, compensate(sp) for bigger injectors (SAFC only can do so much once you move up to bigger injector) and other mods. If they would of release Link for 1G when I purchase my SAFC2 awhile back. I would of gone with the Link. If it is not too late. You might want to go the Link route.

Has anyone had experience with the Big T-28?

That's the turbo I've been running for over 2 years now, I am pretty happy with it. I can get full boost (18lbs) around 2700 rpms. I use 650 injectors.

What do you use to tune with? That is great spool! I think that the T-28 will be the ticket.

this sounds like a really clean talon..... real clean. And the reason for the eprom is for a custom burned chip to the injectors and boost, and then using the safc for fine tuning.

[Scrmegl]

Can the burn be done by the local shops? Until I change the turbo I am guessing I can still tune enough with the SAFC Neo right? I am planning on an AFPR and injectors soon. But the turbo will be some time yet.

Yes local shops can burn the chips for you. You just need to have an EPROM ecu.

Well I finally got around to getting some more basics done. I needed to do a boost leak test, cut the bov tube in the intake pipe, and add a cheap "catch can" from the valve cover.

I built a rigged boost leak tester with random parts I had thanks to Home Depot, Checker Auto, and Northern Tool. I was able to test to 20psi before the tester popped off and I buttoned up some minor items.

While I had the air filter and intake pipe off I cut the inner BOV Tube to help things breath easier. The BOV sounds a little nicer now too as an added plus.

I also added a Fram G2 fuel filter as a "catch can". There was a fair amount of oil getting into the intake so I cleaned things up and added this. I should probably pull the side mount and clean that out soon too.

After getting some basics done I wired in an AFC NEO.

Now I know DSM Link is like the bible around here but the NEO is an affordable option for where I am at with the project. MAP got me a great deal on it so it was a too good to pass up.

The install was easy and the directions provided were accurate. I think it will be a good platform to learn from and it has more set points than past models. I do not have any corrections set yet so that will be the fun part and I'd like to get a wideband soon to replace Blinky. One step at a time I guess.
