Well some of you heard it start up for the first time after the SMIM install on Saturday. She didn't want to idle all that well, but it did kinda. Guess I wasn't meant to work on these things wasted.

Anyhow, spent a little time today. Got the TPS volts down to where they should be. They were at .5x when I first went out there this morning. Went to Checker and bought some radiator hose for who knows what, but it worked perfect for my BOV recirc. Not having that hooked was another reason I was idling like trash Saturday.

Anyhow, she's idling like a champ now right at ~1000rpm. When I turn on the A/C it drops to around 650, but she doesn't die so that's fine. Here's a little clip showing her at idle.

Where did you find that model to start your car and rev it? You hold the camera so steady too!

Sounds nice, I can't wait to get another ride now that it's all upgraded.

looks and sounds good. I'd love to have my car start and idle that well.

What size injectors?

Why do people think 1600s are unpossible to idle?
Mine were mint, and obvious B man got it down too.
COngrats friend, now come take me for a ride.

I don't think their impossible to idle, but getting the dam car to start is another thing.

With E85 and 1600's I have to crank the car over for a good minute (cycling the starter) before it starts. It will fire once then next time it will fire a couple times, then a few more, and finally it starts. I haven't even driven my Talon in over a month because its such a pain.

Wierd. Maybe an issue with your fuel pressure? Might starts like you saw in the video. When it's cold, I have to hold the pedal down for maybe 10 seconds to keep it from dieing, other then that, no issues at all.

Yesterday I got a lot of tuning done on the car. It was running real strong. I had it dialed in somewhat decent at around 26psi, but cranked it up to around 30 on my way home from Porky's, and it felt ridiculous! I definitely have reached the limit of my clutch though. I have the new one waiting here to be installed, but don't want to put it in until I get a new tranny.

So today I called up TRE today and talked to Jon. Seemed like a nice guy and was very helpful, so I purchased a tranny. He'll be shipping that out to me tomorrow. I hope to put that in along with the new clutch sometime this month.

Finished making my boost leak tester today also, and found a few boost leaks. Major one at the BOV flange, and some smaller ones at a couple welds. So the car is back down until I get that all situated.
