Re: Make slowboy not so slow

Well, a big thanks to Mark and Kevin for helping me this weekend, I got a lot done.

Ran into two major problems though, bolts from O2 housing to downpipe completely twisted off and they were welded to the O2 housing. So we're going to have to cut those out and use new ones. Still have one bolt holding it on so I'll be fine for now, but the 3" downpipe didn't get put on yet.

The other problem was that some Windows app was controlling the COM port and not giving access to DSMLink, so Mark wired my AFC back in temporarily. I think it was my Palm hot-sync program since that used the COM port, I uninstalled that and plan to try the new ECU again tonight.

EDIT: since I have a decent exhaust leak before my wideband because of only 1 bolt holding the downpipe on, will that cause it to read differently? Before my car would cruise at 14.5-15.3 a/f ratio, now it's reading .75 higher almost all the time.
