A real mans DSM :D, Introducing, the Starion

[Febo]

I didnt really turn it up much, im only at about 10psi right now, im going to put it at 15psi tomorrow I think or next time I drive it.

And the compression was done with all plugs out, fuel pump unplugged, foot off the throttle, and the tester was only hand tightened in with a poor o ring on it, so actual compression might be higher.

And how are we going to go wasted spark on this bia? and why not just use my MSD coil :D

[FattyBoomBatty]

You should open the throttle all the way. That way, all the air that can be sucked in will be.

And the wasted spark thing is just an idea right now, but it might work. We take the rotor in your distributor and install another arm 180 degrees from the one on there. Since the firing order is 1342, pair cylinders will be fired simultaneously, just like a dsm.

I am assuming dsm coilpacks send the spark to both "nodes" (plug wire recepticle thing). If that's the case, then it would work. If it does, you get the benefits of wasted spark. And you can use your MSD coil. it would be stock appearing, but more awesome.

And ease into the boost, 1 psi at a time.

Next time you swing by work rydo, let me know. I wanna measure the inducer on your turbo, hard to tell if it's a 14g or 16g. I would think the 14g due to the exhaust housing but you know me. I can't be happy without knowing for sure.

But now you've got me reading up on your car to figure out all the ins and outs... why i'm doing that, i don't know. But will be helpful in the months to come i have a feeling.

Gravy might be able to fill you in better, but that's just not my style Andrew. You will figure this out lol.

Oh and I can do that Josh. Ill be back up in the area Wednesday if you are going to be working.

Vacation starts on wed, i'll have to check another time. I know for a fact it's either a 14g or 16g, but the exhaust looks unmolested from the outside, and knowing how the plugs looked, i'd say it's just a 14g.

Going to have to get a quick wrap up on the car soon i think. Want it fired up and ready to go for spring.

great googly moogly, nice job getting her back to normal

[FattyBoomBatty]

Let me know when you are working on it/playing with it again, I want to join the fun!

[Febo]

Ok will do, but wasted spark set up is a no go, waste of time lol. But the next project will the exausht Im thinking.

[FattyBoomBatty]

Yeah, I realized that it wouldn't be so simple. But someone with a lot of time on their hands and a bunch of spare parts could make it happen.

[JET]

Not to mention that wasted spark is worse than sequential. It would be pointless to go wasted spark.
