Evo X upgrades

[scheides]

Okee dokee! Well wire in that wideband to the ecu while you're digging down there, that config file has logging setup for it :D

Excited this thing is so close! Man you must be ecstatic!

^Why do you think you always see the thread...knocked up my girl, need to sell my fun car :)

Ha! Not meeee!!

Although it hasn't made much progress either...

I am almost offended by that.

mlomker, Saturday, lets get that wideband on and log this thing. MOD day is almost here!

Why? It's not like I am talking directly about anyone. It's just what happens. People say that their plans have changed and now they have a family, but it really just means they typically can't afford a child and to mod a car.

If Lomker had kids I bet he wouldn't have spent so much on his car ;)

Before this car I always had more money than time. Now I have neither. :shocked:

I'm stoked! Gotta drag all that stuff out tonight and figure out what bits I need. The PLX setup is more complicated than some (has control boxes, etc).

Yep I get that part, peoples priorities change quite a bit once you have children, someday you will understand, it is not that a person cant afford to mod a car and have kids. That is all was trying to say. It is all good. :)

Back on topic. mlomker, can wait to see the setup, are you planning on putting all the plastic back on and such or it is not possible with the new setup?

The beauty with that tank location is that you can reinstall the whole trunk with it there. It'll definitely be out on Saturday when I'm there...going to keep an eye out for leaks for a week or whatever.

The last two hours were 'interesting'. I stopped at O'Reillys after work to pick up some hose for installing an afpr.

I went out to start the car and it was a no go. I try to do a bit of troubleshooting but being alone and without tools, it wasn't too easy. I called Full Blown and got the name of their preferred towing outfit.

One interesting thing about the Eagan (Yankee Doodle & 35E) O'Reillys is that the parking spots are kind of on a hill. Not as steep as having the front end on ramps but fairly steep. I'd thought about letting the thing roll down to a flat spot to give it a try but waited for the tow truck since I didn't want to obstruct the parking lot if it didn't start.

Sure enough, it started on the level. Now what? A surge tank setup that won't start if the car isn't level doesn't compute.

I'll call them tomorrow and see if they have any ideas.

My car did that too back in the day when it ran. I had to have my roommate bring a 5 gal jug to help me start it. Started great when i got more fuel in there.

Did you have a low tank of fuel?

[mlomker]

Did you have a low tank of fuel?

3/4 of a tank. Also keep in mind that I have a surge tank now...it should be impossible for it not to start. That intermediate tank should hold plenty of fuel to start the car.

The only thing that comes to mind is some air in the system/tank. I'm going to run it past FB before I do anything but removing one of the lines on the top and filling the tank to the top once is the only thing that I can think to try.
