Here's a more recent pic of the engine bay in the HQ.

Ran out of time to fit the Stealth Ram manifold and coil packs before the trip.

Re: 36-1 Crank Wheels

Hi Bluehaze, I had the 36-1 wheels made up for the holden six and chev. I installed one on the chev and played with it a bit but never had it fully sorted. I ran out of time to play with it (starting a family) before sending it west. I hope to do more with it when I get back that way and install it ...

Re: Just found this user group. Hello!

Nice job with the engine bay Bluehaze. I had trouble with a 202 once that had finance registered against it (even though my dad owned it for several years), lucky for me I only had to wait a couple of weeks for that to clear. Well my old HQ ute was loaded to the hilt and driven from east to west-coa...

Re: Just found this user group. Hello!

That's a good start. The wideband makes tuning so much easier. Once you are able to go for a nice long drive you can log a lot of data and really clean up the fuel map. If you've got a service manual for the 3.3 EFi engine you might find the details of the ignition curve they used. Getting the timin...

Re: Just found this user group. Hello!

Hi Bluehaze, I have a Chev v8 running with an MS2 but also have a blue202 motor running with a Haltech. The narrowband oxygen sensor will help you to tune your cruise settings but a wideband will allow you to tune the rest of your fuel-map whilst seeing if you are going dangerously lean or too rich....

Re: This joint has been quiet...

My ute has been tucked away for a few months but should hit the road again soon. Then I can try the CAS and Stealth Ram manifold.

Re: E85

I was wondering if it would be possible to use a potentiostat or something similar to determine the percentage of ethanol in the fuel as a flex-sensor? Something like this http://hackaday.com/2011/09/14/cheapstat-an-open-source-potentiostat/ . I'm sure the electrically noise environment of a car wou...

E85

I was filling up at the local Caltex during the week and noticed they now have E85 at one of the bowsers. $1.21/L while the 95 I filled with was $1.51/L. Yes I know all the cons about using a possible food source for fuel, harder cold starts, increased fuel consumption.... but it would be nice to ru...

Re: V6 VT Commodore standalone parts list

Any progress on the v6? Some good news for you, from what I've read the ignition system should be capable of reading the crank sensors for you and controlling basic ignition for start-up then the ECU takes over to controll the ign-advance; http://easyautodiagnostics.com/gm_ignition_3800/test_ignitio...
