Mine is disabled and removed from the car completely w/o a wideband and I get no codes.

SSDD. Another unique issue for me.

I'll do that the next time they are out.

Alcohol can't dissolve that gooey junk like gasoline does. Soak the tips in 1/2" gasoline in a little cup and the gas will turn black absorbing it all in a couple minutes. There was a big study on this on link awhile back, I can't remember if they determined the source of the black goo that the alcohol can't absorb or not.

2010 vs 2008. Turning off rear O2 stuff is not as easy with the 2008s.

**mlomker** · 09-08-2010

Shane theorized that my oil burning was fouling out the front o2 and causing my problem at cruise. He created a ROM for me that runs in open loop as a test. I went for a short drive and the car ran absolutely awesome. I'll see how it does on tomorrow's commute.

Awesome, glad you are getting somewhere finally.

I think 311evo's car had some o2 sensor problems as well and Shane made a tune similar to your's that only ran it in Open Loop and it ran perfectly afterwards and even got better mileage than he was getting when he used the o2 sensors.

I didn't know that! Thanks for the info.

The important thing to me is that I've eliminated the custom Primo intake as being a problem. It's a huge plus when you can isolate something.

I've done a number of pulls in the last day to baseline the AFRs before isntalling the afpr and trying the BAP again over the weekened.

I must say, driving that car is like a drug. The only time the cams really lope is right after a hard run...for a few seconds it sounds like Matt D's car. God, I LOVE THAT.

Hope the car is running well for BIR on the 20th.

Nice on the magnus CMC! Nice work on the on-the-shelf approach, hopefully you never need it!

I can see the smile on your face from here

Glad you're really starting to get some time to enjoy this thing!

That way you can call me if you need one? Yeah, having one around for the local X guys was a part of my reasoning.

Not gonna lie, it makes me feel slightly better knowing that there's one locally but extra good knowing that someone will be putting this through the paces. IDK though, I have nearly 3k on my act 6-puck now, no issues yet (knock knock).

I'm nearing 5k. murlo picked it up last night so that part is out of stock at the Lomker warehouse. lol.

I regret replacing my MC ever...so far it has been a money pit.

**mlomker** · 09-10-2010

I received the Prosport fuel pressure gauge, DW1300 injectors, and Magnus master cylinder today. My goals for this weekend are to plumb in the afpr and wire in the gauge. The Magnus will permanently go on the shelf "just in case" and the injectors may be returned or resold pending my next visit to DB.

**mlomker** · 09-10-2010

Apparently I FAIL at putting connectors on -6an fuel line. It leaked and the line was too short by the time I found a technique to do it correctly. I ordered some more line so I'll give it another try on Monday night.

I got lucky and picked a setting that made my cruise AFRs perfect. If it weren't for the leak then I'd be thrilled. The setup was looking very nice other than that.

Rmondoh · 09-11-2010

Glad to see that things are progressing nicely.

**Kracka** · 09-12-2010

That Magnus clutch master cylinder is the best one on the market IMO. The SSP sounds like a total pile of junk...plus it's more expensive.

**mlomker** · 09-15-2010

Finally finished the fuel pressure gauge install since my first attempt at the wiring (using a multi-conductor, solid-core wire) didn't pan out. The fuel line went fine last night and doesn't leak. It ended up a little tighter than I'd like but the afpr bracket flexes a little so hopefully it will survive...if not then I have a spare hose on-hand.

Looks like Friday morning's trip to factory MOD with the 3/S group is on. I'll take a lot of pics and shoot some video for you guys.

Have fun! You guys should all caravan down for the Dallas MOD next year (we're thinking April/May since people complained July was too hot this year).

Is it hard to drive an Evo in cowboy boots? I have a pair I haven't worn for years...

Did a couple pulls this morning and AFRs are 11.7 ... works for me.
