the sawtooth build thread Options

[sawtooth]

Wanted to start a build thread for my na suby conversion. The car is my newly acquired '73 2.0L fi. It is very clean, appearance group, 2nd owner, 88K. I currently use it as my daily driver.



I want to do a suby conversion because I believe the overall package will have the performance, drivability, and dependability I'm looking for.

EDIT: I've changed motor selection slightly and am also taking a bigger plunge by going with a suby trans, see Post #49.

Boy that sure is good motivation. Nice job. Most of my projects really never end. When the dust settles you can study up on doing your own programming with a laptop. I wanted to have different maps one for e85 and a couple more for cheap gas and good gas. Someone is going to come up with a device thats checks fuel quality in the tank as you are using it and adjust the tune accordingly. The suby ecu sorta does that but the range is pretty narrow for peak performance. The old tt ej2oh I have would not let the turbos boost if the fuel quality was not good. The relearn part of the suby ecu is really tricky to tune with but it is very sophisticated. It watches even the fuel temp in the tank I think I remember reading.

Great video, I guess the camera was mounted on a hat? utube video and music is something that is out of my spectrum of shadetree. Thats both of my son's relm.

Thanks Charlie, the camera is a ContourHD helmet cam. I made a head band setup I can wear. It's a fantastic little camera.
