Thanks man for the pics of the W/P, but my S-10 motor does not have the side port or bosses for it. I am looking into a right hand outlet for the S-10 motor now. I have my best people working on it! I'm so glad you haven't given up on your build though, I have learned alot, and I am an avid "4-cyl" man. I can't wait till yours is finished!

Progress? Of course!





Here's a couple of pics showing a mockup. The nitrous distribution block will go basically in the same position, just a little closer to the head and slightly higher. Should look pretty cool when done. I just need to get some tube sleeves and fittings, then I'll start plumbing. Already have stainless tubing and everything else...Figures a couple of tube sleeves would hold up the operation.

Summit Racing FTMFW. Ordered the B nuts and sleeves on Thursday, got here two days later, this morning. IOW, I've been busy

So...






Half done.

More later, as always,

Updates...

Designed a header flange, that was easy enough. I have several designs for short-tube equal length headers, but until I get my cradle and engine compartment modeled I'm not sure what will work. Might be able to do some of that this week, during spring break.

Another thing I've been looking at is a change of engine control. I like MS2, but my plans are starting to overtap it's capabilites, and even some of the capabilities that aren't even in the development plan for MS2. Over the last 2 years I've accumulated so many add-ons it's getting hard to keep track of...Seperate WBO2 controller, boost controller, while planning to EXTENSIVELY modify the MS2 to get what I need. Not to mention that reliability is lacking, partly due to the home assembled nature (me), and partly due to the somewhat experimental nature of these devices (cheap).

So I've been looking for something more capable and professional. This has brought me to the Big Stuff 3 controller. While this is MUCH more expensive, it will greatly simplify my life. This means eliminating the distributor, and running coil on plug, and sequential injection with individual cylinder control, with built-in boost control. So, this means installation of cam and crank position sensors, as well as installing a cam trigger magnet on the timing gear, and a 24 tooth trigger wheel on the crank. Add 4 LS1 coils and I'll be good to go.

Downside (because there always is one)....
Cost: About $2700 for everything. This would include wiring, coils, the works. But still. Ouch. So, right now I'm split on whether to start designing for the BS3 or keep going ahead as planned. Could end up saving me alot of time, but almost $3000 is still a lot of cash out of pocket.

Need a better paying job.
Nate

megasquirt or another "cheapie" ECU would do the DIS ignition that you want.

Megasquirt can do DIS, but COP is MUCH more difficult. Right now it's pretty much limited to wasted spark COP, which still requires alot of modifications to set up. Even after that, you don't get individual cylinder timing control.
