I just got #139 back together after a few week "minor setback" that included snapping a 14b turbo shaft and finding the engine had a bad rod bearing on cyl #1. So the last week I'v been swapping the engine yet again, this is the third engine in the car since I got it last august and I'v put less than 2000 miles on it the whole time /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rofl.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif
This engine is a 2G piston 8.5:1 CR, with ARP L19 headstuds, stock HG, stock cams, stock 1.6L head, BSE kit. Everything else was transfered over from the last engine. The car is running a small 16G with an E3 7cm turbine housing. Planning to hit the track with it next friday and see what I can do on the 16G with both pumpgas and E85.
The car also has a different set of wheels & tires: SSR 17 x 8.5" GT7 with 235/45/17 Falken tires. The +35mm offset is not enough for the front and the tires are hitting the fender. Currently running nearly 0 camber, so I'm not sure how much negative adjustment I'd have to use in order to tuck the tire edge under the fender for bumps. I'm somewhat undecided to keep/sell the wheels and tires.
Tomorrow:
fix the calibration on the LC1 wideband (it's posting error 4...needs heater calibration or sensor bad, but it was working fine before motor swap and wasn't touched).
Set base ignition timing to 5*, it's set to random guess right now
Play with camber in the front to see if I can get the tire to not touch the fender. The car also pulls a bit to the right, adjustment is likely off side/side since the strut & hub was apart.
Then some toonering with DSMlink to get the pumpgas map up to snuff....I'm loving being able to use Mac now that I switched over to DSMlink, where I was stuck on winblows with DSMap.
Few random pics from 7/6 (one week ago)
new longblock on the engine stand
Old engine on the floor last tuesday.
