Idaho Tuner's 240/|SR Build thread

[pflicht]

What about now... Im stuck at work till 4 pm then my @ss is going to bed... Been working since 4am

[idahotuner]

ok guys here is the up date.. only three pictures cause not much has changed for me to take pics of. here is the sensor on the back of the oil pan.had to pull the power steering lines off to make clearance for the sensor to stick out.

here is the turbo side of things all hooked up.

and the fpr mounted.

well the motor turned ofver when i primmed it good. and then the first time i turned it over to start it it fired up and ran fora sec. not i just crank it and crank it and it isnt starting. i flooded it so i let it air out and i finally got the FRP set. so that is right so i am not sure why it isnt firing up. maybe it isnt gettign a spark. or what.

[s14tan]

MOAR PICS!!!! I like the green oil pan haha

[idahotuner]

i need some advice on getting her fired up. tomorrow i am going to check for spark. i know i am getting it cause it fired up once allready. but only ran for a sec.

[s14tan]

getting enough fuel in her?

[Slideways^Jordan]

oh wow nice update. Its problyy just got flooded cause the FPR is not set up exactly where it supposed to be

try to start it again in the morning maybe it will run this time and you did set all the timeing dead on right.

[White Comet]

well i would just narrow it down to the basics. an engine needs spark, fuel and air to run. if its getting fuel (thats fresh and not old) check the spark. if its getting that as well check the timing. if its getting everything but not at the right time that could be the problem.

[duffman1278]

Did you figure it out? Let it evaporate enough?

[idahotuner]

i had to go to school last nihgt. i am going to messaround with it more tonight and see waht i can get. i think it may be a timing issue but i am not sure.

[pflicht]

Finally, more pictures. Looking good.

[idahotuner]

well my car is getting way to much fuel i am not sure waht the problem is. i have the fpr set at 43.5 and the new ecu is hooked up. we disconnect the fuel pump and we can start the car up cause it is burning the fuel off. but i dont know waht the problem is. could be the ecu i guess.

[idahotuner]

so the problem is it running super rich. and getting to much fuel. so i am not sure if it is just because it is the first time with the new injectors and tune and everything. so tommorrow i wil lstart it up again and let it run fora little while and see if it settles down.

[Didderson]

rememer what we talked about on aim: lol

ecu groundiacv screw

never hurts to do a once over on all the harness plugs ie coolant temp sensor oxy plug etc.GL man.

[idahotuner]

where is the coolant temp sensor at?

[Didderson]

right near your thermostat water neck. IIRC it's on the pipe connected to that going toward the block.

[idahotuner]

so it would be part of the lower engine harness. i got everything hooked up with that. tomorrow i might hook up my oil pressure gague. i wonder if it needs power or if i can just run a wire from the sensor to the gauge. well i guess i will read the instructions and find out.......... be sweet if i could see a pic of the iacv screw and where it is located. thanks guys

[White Comet]

i agree it could be the iacv but thats probably not the only problem. and while an ecu ground isnt a bad idea, i dont think its something to worry about right now, just trying to help you get to the root of the problem. the sr will run with no problems without the ecu grounded

[idahotuner]

well i need some other ideas then. if those 2 are not it.

[White Comet]

hmm im just throwing ideas out there but heres a listtimingteh tune is too richfpr set wronglack of sparkidk just throwing ideas out there

[idahotuner]

as far as spark and timing that is good we tested it last night. and the tune being to rich. i contacted the guy i got it from and he said for sure it was tuned for 740cc injectors.fp is set at 43.5

now we did get it to fire up and run for about 2 mins yesterday. then we turned it off cause of all the carbon-monoxide. lol the problem is way to much fuel. and i am thinking that it could be fp because i am setting it when the fuel pump pressurizes and looking at the gauge and setting it then.or the iacv could be a big reason.or not having the ecu grounded out.

[White Comet]

its def not the ecu groundingmines run for years without being grounded

[idahotuner]

well i am going just ground it out to narrow down the cause.

[White Comet]

true, it wont hurt to ground, but i just wanted to help you narrow it down cuz thats def not the problem. good luck though

[idahotuner]

so no other ideas other then the iacv

[Didderson]

jeff u don't know for sure about the ecu because in idaho's case his tune might require a better ground, changing the resistance for maf inputs and other stuff. Contact enthalpy and ask em if it's necessary ben.

maybe your TB isn't loose enough, if it goes closed then its fine.

[idahotuner]

well i thin ki have the fp set to high. at idle it should be at 36psi. but i am not setting it at iddle. i am just setting it when it presurizes the system. so i am not sure i have done some reading and asked around we will see waht i come up with.

[Didderson]

That sounds right. GJ on the research yo. for now since you're not boosting i'd crank it down low for idle till u get it running then u can tune it. Just don't boost it in the garage when u lower the psi yet.

[idahotuner]

i am not planing on boosting it at all until i get it to start up and idle fine.

but yeah i am going to try and and get her going agian on my lunch break.

[White Comet]

jeff u don't know for sure about the ecu because in idaho's case his tune might require a better ground, changing the resistance for maf inputs and other stuff. Contact enthalpy and ask em if it's necessary ben.

yeah but those ecus are plug and play. it will work under the same conditions the stock one does. since the stock one doesnt NEED a ground the enthalpy doesnt NEED one. still a good idea though, i just dont think its the problem

[idahotuner]

well i got it running long enough to get it up to operating temp. i turned the fp down to 36 psi. and it ran all right. i am going upload a video to you tube this evening. i havea coolant leave by the iacv i messed around with the screw on the iacv but not much. i also grounded out the ecu.

it is really boggy still and not responsive. like when it was iddling when i opened the throttle up i would open it up .......and then it would respond. and my vaccum isnt very high. it was at like 3 vac while idling. could be the cams could be alot of stuff. affecting that. could be it was idling at 1000 as well.

the lifters are ticking pretty loud. and i bled them before i put them back in so i guess it will just takea little while for them to get lubed back up again.

as far as exhaust leaks i have a little on down where the down pipe and o2 extension boly together because i just bolted them there with the gasket and no spray a gasket and i didnt torque them down. it was justa temp them so the exhuast wouldnt dump out right there.
