s14.3sr - yo dog i heard you liked big filters

[EAT SHIT, DIE SLOW]

on the opposite end of stews problem, ive got an enthalpy tune, never once checked for air leaks, never had any issues running poorly, and not a single complaint.
shit happens i suppose.

Got the accusump tonight. Ordering the 25psi electric valve thingie. I'll have it on with ignition so it will more than likely discharge at idle. No big deal, it can refill once i'm moving again. It will be interesting to see how my oil pressures before and after filtration system will be.  That means  dual oil pressure gauges. Oh well. Might as well throw an oil temp on there too.

the accusump should have a gauge on the canister itself. Or you planning on measuring at different points of the oil circulation path.

I think the plan is to run two gauges, next to each other, to fill up a sweet a pillar gauge pod.

solution- get a rhd a pillar pod and lhd.
fill both with guages, have passenger monitor ones on their side.

that would actually be a really good idea for like, i dunno, tuning from the passenger seat while someone's driving around, you know? haha.

ideally i want at least FOUR oil pressure gauges, and two oil temp gauges.

p1:  before  oil filter
p2:  after oil filters going into main galley
p3:  opposite side of main galley / turbo feed block
p4:  accusump

another cool place for one to be would be where you drill for the vtec engagement on the de/VE hybrid.  that way you can monitor how much oil is getting to the cylinder head right quick.

for oil temps i would like to see temps in the accusump, and temps in the pan.   I think as long as the accusump partially discharges at idle, the oil will be circulating enough to make it not matter.

data , data, data..

four widebands (one in each runner)
five EGT's (each runner +  after turbine wheel)
four temperatures ( water going into engine, water coming out of engine, accusump temp, oilpan temp)
seven pressure gauges (5x oil ,  2x fuel  ( pressure @ pump,  pressure @ rail )


tachs, speedos, and boost gauges are for sissies.

ur such a goofball
imagine u actually put all those gauges in, hahaha!
that would be fucking hilarious

You better buy a label maker too just to keep you shit straight.

[maattback]

lol  the v88 has 11 analog inputs.  hmmmmm......

[maattback]

[carbotron]

yeah. it has a lot. and you can set events off them too. i'm putting low oil pressure auto shutdown as one. you can also use the 8 leftover ign and inj drivers for outputs.. like.. uh. if you need that much.
dixie horns. seriously.

in all honestly, you set the accusump pressure and forget about it. it's an air spring. you don't need all those oil pressures.  accusump temp isn't going to change very quickly. i mean, you COULD put 2 fitting on the face so oil pressure is fed into the can AND it has an outlet. convection will heat it up pretty quick. but then if oil pressure fails at the pump it's going to dump to the path of least resistance. which would probably be the pump and not the bearings. you could restrict it's feed though. that's a lot or plumbing.

more than the oil temps and water in/out, i'd be interested in localized temps in the water jacket
particularly around the exhaust ports and top of the cylinders

you could monitor it with out gauges. just datalog pressure transducers and thermocouples in there and have warning light or auto shutdown outputs. you can get an off the shelf D/A converter/datalogging board for a couple hundred and with a little software set up logging to removable flash memory. i'm thinking of something from Tern. they're C programable. somethign like.. this:

yeah, i now i don't need gauges.  that many gauges is stoopid.  who is going to have the time to look at them all.  obviously it would all go into the computer for monitoring and then warnings would tell me wtf is up.

haha.

but come on.

this is fast and furious. 

i need two gauge pods, with 8 gauges each.

about ten years ago there was as uper street with a blue civic from the UK or whatever or maybe it was a volkswagen, and it had like 30 gauges across the dash.  and it had two engines.  and it ran like a 9.2 or something ridiculous.  i don't remember, it was forevs ago.

im going to put accusump after the oil filters, so that the anti drainback valves of the oil filters will, uh, prevent the accusump from feeding back into the oil pump ?  goodidea noyes?

[maattback]

[laurentz]

Hah, yeah it was an a1 rabbit I think with two vr6's. They probably put two of everything in there. Two of every gauge.

a fixed v-band clamp is the greatest thign in the world.

everyone that reccomended the vibrand stuff, you rule.  I'm gonna switch everything over to them, hahahaha.


1 month exactly after getting it driving.      165,162,160,160.  I'm pretty happy with that.   

I also seafoamed it to try and get rid of any excess carbon and depositry when driving around on a trashy tune.

lots of smoke later the motor runs quieter and smoother.  who would have thought!

so when all said and done, as i did the v-band clamp,  seafoaming, plug checking and indexing, i was able to lean it out  an additional 2% down low, so i'm now idling somewhere around 20-21 : 1  without any stalling issues whatsoever.

partial throttle steady state cruising i'm somewhere around 17.5 : 1.     Accelerating up to the speed limit i'm around 14.5 - 16  :  1.   In boost  12.5:1  (it's only 13psi).   

Hopefully when I pull the head the piston tops will be smiling at me, nice and clean, as opposed to black and sooty.

the special oil additive smells sooo good.
