The Turbo Super Duty Build. (Page 39/63)

Just a little update...I'm in school right now, working also, and now getting ready to start building a house with my fiance by the end of the year. Soooo....IOW.......No REAL progress on this project. Funds are getting stretched thin a little bit. I'm passively looking for camshafts, but I doubt I would be able to afford them right now even if I found them.

OTOH, I have been investigating in-depth this ECM:
http://www.vems.hu/products.html
http://shop.vems.hu/catalog...ath=1&products_id=29

It's very powerful, not as user friendly as the MegaSquirt, and it costs much more. The lowest price that I could come to for a unit that would suit me was about $700, including alot of the wiring and connectors. BUT it does 8 individual sequential injector control, and I can run REAL COP with it instead of wasted spark. It's also a wideband sensor controller, and it does these things out of the box. I'll have to see where it's at when I get to the "actually ready to get an ECM" stage.

Back to HW...

Why bother? By the time you get to the "actually need an ECM" stage, the internal combustion will be obsolete.

Ok Something to note here. I was just watching the 1988 IMSA race from San Antonio Tx and they had a piece about the Pontiac Spice Fiero's that were running the new 4 valve head(Cosworth) The teams had decided to go back to using the regular 2 valve heads because the Cosworth heads made the engine very Peaky and they had alot of relyability problems with them. So before you invest all that cash in all the other parts you may need to finish the head part you may want to do some further research on how good they were. I will try and rip that segment from the vid if I can and post it to YouTube. I am watich this thread closely because it is something I want to do as well. I have 1 Early SD-4 block(used), 1 early SD-4 iron head(used). 1 "433" aluminum head(new). 1 "801" head(new). One 2bbl intake (used and set up for FI). One 4bbl intake (new). And one Kinsler style 4 throat FI Intake(new). I have a custom Oil pan that came On my IMSA. Looks like a stock one with the sump part extended and places for the oil to drain down from the intake. I also have a Hamburger aluminum oil pan that is "HUGE". Only other real important things I have are two marine cranks.

Grasshopper,
A wise man knows that we are all idiots. He who thinks otherwise is also foolish.

Cool video, thank you! I'm going to try posting up some Engine Analyzer data later today.
