ka24de vs. ka24det - Round II

I have 3 headgaskets!

[SiDwAyZ240]

Don't you guys know that having multiple intake gaskets increases runner length and HP.

[Razi]

LOL

Today, while using my consult cable, I just readjusted my TPS today, it was almost .50 volts, now it's sitting at .44, yay!
I also checked my engine codes and I got code 21 (Ignition signal in the primary circuit is not being entered to the ECU during cranking or tuning), and it said I had about 40-something starts since the code appeared.

I cleared the code and I'll watching to see if it pops up again.

2 gaskets...that means twice the sealing capabilities, right?!?!?!

i don't like having 3/4 of an engine.. installing an injector tomorrow friend of mine is letting me use one of his spairs... lets hope this works.

[Razi]

Use lots of lube!

[DubsSuck]

I usually do

hey Razi, lets go biking!

I wish I had CONSULT I have a 90 and they didn't install the CONSULT stuff on 89-90. I can get a cable though. It's only 5 wires IIRC. I need to get one and then get datascan software as well.

That'd be fun!

Do it!
It's so helpful.

[homeslicej2]

It would make it easier to diagnose issues and to just see what's going on with the engine. Plus, I want to get my car NIStune tuned, so I'll need the CONSULT. We're going to Seattle next week, but when we get back I should be able to order a good amount of new stuff to add to the 240 during July. Looking forward to it

[DubsSuck]

So I got the injector replaced and when I went to go start it the selonoid went bad >_<

Also a friend of mine is selling a euro chipped 01 bmw m5 for 12k! Effin steal! If you know anyone in the tristate area who may be interested let me know.

Giggity

ok so i changed my starter today... when i pulled it out it was in pieces! but i got the new one installed and it started acting like it had a dead battery when i tried turning it over, so i hooked it up to my dads truck to it and tried to jump it... still nothing.. i took the starter out to see if maybe was mounted incorrectly. still nothing... it sounds like its engaging but not spinning. Im out of ideas

[Chris28]

Was it a new starter? There are 2 moving parts, the actual spinning part and a part that pushes the gears out to engage on the flywheel. Maybe it's possible that only one part is working correctly?

[DubsSuck]

Yeah its a new starter... im going to test to see if it spins today after work. Im also going to see if its getting the right amount of power.

[Chris28]

Did you hook everything back up to it? There's the 12 volt straight from the battery, a ground, and a little spade connector that is what tells the starter to actually "start" haha.

[DubsSuck]

wait.. isn't the ground hooked into the spade connector? the thing of it is, i don't even remember taking a ground off when i took the old one out.
But yes, it has power and everything is plugged in.. as far as i know. lol


i invested in a starter relay.. it'll be here early tomorrow.

[Chris28]

I looked at my starter earlier and didn't see a ground either, maybe that spade thing is the ground. I could have sworn the spade is what told the starter to start, mine came disconnected once and the car wouldn't start.

[DubsSuck]

its hooked into the starter relay.. but i replaced my relay and still no go.... >:[

[DubsSuck]

Correction the relay doesn't fit!!

[homeslicej2]

Back from 3 days in Seattle (and straight back to work for 3 nights :/ ) Was pretty fun town. I'll post some pics Wed. or Thurs.

[WDRacing]

Alt has 2 wires, the ground causes the alt to "excite" and there are some cool words that go along with the actual process etc, but it's to early in the f*** morning.

Some people put a toggle on the ground and rely on battery only when they do dyno runs, cheap way to gain like 10hp for a few seconds and to make your CAI look like it really does make 15whp!!!

How was the trip to Seattle?

[DubsSuck]

Well the starter gets grounded to the block, but I ran a ground wire direct from the battery to the starter also ran a new starter wire but still no luck... buut I did notice a massive voltage drop at thhe battery when I try to start it

Jesus...don't walk away from your computer in mid type and come back later. I have no idea wtf I was even talking about the alt for.

Do you have a battery charger you can hook up? Mine has the 100AMP start option.

[DubsSuck]

Lol.. I have a 50amp option and it still drops withh it on

...but it doesn't drop when i hook the battery directly up to the starter.. im stumped i have no clue why this thing wont start

[DubsSuck]

EFF THIS!! im getting it toad

[homeslicej2]

Yeah, electrical stuff stumps me sometimes, which is sad bc I worked at an electrical place for yrs. Granted, it was for homes, but still. WD, the trip was actually really fun. We were in a hotel about 3-4 blocks north of the Space Needle. The conference my wife had to attend (which is why we went, bc her work paid for her trip/car/food/etc.) was in Chinatown. I walked all over the downtown area. Spent time in Pike's Market, Pioneer Square, ate authentic Chinese food (they didn't even have silverware available, only chopsticks), ate fresh from Alaska and caught only a couple days prior gourmet Salmon at Anthony's Peir 66 (the best Salmon I've ever had, and I ate a lot of Salmon growing up bc my step-dad loved it), enjoyed the sights and sounds of the city. The weather was funny, cold (upper 40's in morning) overcast in morning, high 70's and sunny by lunch time. I walked for hours each day. My legs were killing me, and I need a new pair of shoes I also visited the local Tesla cars building. They were only a few blocks from us and had the showroom with two Tesla roadsters, a small shop (which had another red roadster in it), and some info booklets. The dealer/mechanic spent about 30 minutes talking with me about the cars. It was pretty neat. It was great. I only wish we could have stayed for a few more days so we could visit some of the islands in Puget Sound and the forests.

[Kckouki]

Muahahaha

[spooled240]

i'll guess 6 wks and you sell it

elle oh elle!
