I'm in the process of installing the Beta KitCarlson EMS. Today it ran. I've been working on modifying the wiring harness to match the stock layout. I had one wire in the wrong place today which made it keep running even when the key was off. Fixed that and now it idles great.
Things I've done so far: - Modify the wiring harness. - Buy plug wires that will work with the new coil. - Made an adapter plate to mount the coil in the stock location. Things I still have to do: - Send the harness to Jeff B. for replication. - Fine tune the engine. - Make a mounting plate for the brain to put it in the stock location. |

Long Version:So I was driving my car today. Still had the same low RPM, high RPM issues. I picked up a piece of 2" coolant hose from the FLAPS with which to attach my O2 sensor rig to the tailpipe. Worked like a charm and so I was able to see my fuel ratio while driving for the first time. I noticed that my car was running rich at low RPM (I figured this) and lean at high RPM. Around 3700 RPM things were good at 14.4:1. So with this new information I stopped by the side of the road and tinkered with some of the settings in the fuel map. When I pulled away it was like driving a normal car! Holy crap it was easy. There's still some fine tuning to be done as well as replacing my valve springs and pushrods (next week). Looks like I might have this thing 100% dialed in quicker than I thought.
I'll probably rope Trekkor into helping me tune. He can drive and I'll read the meters and change the settings. Hot damn, I'm excited. Short Version: Tuning the EMS with a wideband O2 sensor IS REALLY EASY. |
