What kind of pillar gauges are people running on their L67 motors?

ZZP recommened Aeroforce Intercepter Scan Gauge but I already have Torque Pro running with blue tooth to my SIII.

I am considering the AEM Wideband Failsafe Gauge, But I kind of like the idea of have dedicated gauges for boost and whatnot. Although this gauge does some really nice data logging.

I put in a new fuel pump today just to be on the safe side.
EP381 AC Delcco
I had an Airtex cheapy in there before.

Edit 6/24/13; I wired the fuel pump with 14 Ga. wire to a new high capacity relay triggered off of the cars fuel pump relay.
Edit 4/15/15: I had to rewire the actual pump in the tank itself. The connector at the pump burned up. I soldered 14 gauge wire from the lugs on the pump to the wires in the sending unit.

I think this was a mistake. I did no research to see how their product performs. I told them it was for a Fiero swap with an auto trans, no #2 O2 sensor, EGR delete with a 3.4 pulley and 4" intake with a 3" exhaust.

I got it back with a Purge solenoid/ fuel tank pressure DTC and Oil level in pan DTC. Also >1/2 throttle launch sounds like rocks are in my heads.

I Emailed them and they wanted a mod list, I said it was attached to the ECM with the Pre-Order sheet.
Now they are not responding to Emails.

Sorry about that as ZZP is NOT as good with the Fiero specific programming.
I was wondering why you felt you needed a new PCM as I will gladly update your original.
What other mods did you add? Are you sure it isn't something mechanical that is causing issues, like too much KR due to the smaller pulley.
However, if you have a DHP then you could do it yourself in real time and get max performance.

Thanks for your help over in the tech section, I'm glad we got that sorted out.
I do kind of want to learn how to Tune the ECM so I am gonna get a PowerTuner.

I had a SnapOn Solus Pro scantoll on it looking at Knock Retard and it stayed at zero when the mystery noise showed up.

I just realized the pulley is a 3.4, I can't remeber what is the smallest i can go for stock.

Turns out my SC Coupler went bad when i put their new computer in.
They did reply and offered to fix their tune, but they asked if they could see my current computer and how its tuned.
I have two computers.

I had a Snapon Solus Pro Scan Tool on it when I was taking off trouble shooting the noise. I was watching knock retard and it showed zero under all conditions.

I got the same pulley, but I ordered my straight for intense, they sent me a 8-rib too. it's no big deal, but on mine the two ribs on the battery are unused. I don't think they are bothering to make 6-ribs anymore. since the 8 rib version covers both.


P.S. 3.4" is the smallest your "Supposed" to go on a stock motor, but if you have no KR issues and your monitoring KR you can go smaller. especially if your using race gas to compensate. It's just that if you enjoy driving the car allot you may be more inclined to run a slightly larger pulley on pump gas rather than have a car addicted to race fuel.

But at the end of the day the smallest pulley you can run is the smallest you can run W/O KR.

I went ahead and bought a DHP PowerTuner. I figured out how to read the PCM, disabled the two DTCs they left on it (one was a purge solenoid and the other was the oil level code).and then reflashed the PCM.

They wanted me to send the computer back to them but I didn't feel like messing around with them due to their less than helpful attitude. They did however ask me to come in for a Dyno tune. I doubt it would be for free but it might be worth it I guess.

Now I still have to change the coupler then I can hit the track finally!
