Tomorrow, Lola gets to visit the dealership

[Jeff Williams]

My local service writer offered me a free consult on Lola, the next time I was able. I am taking him up on it, tomorrow.

They will be flushing the injector rail, replacing the belts (I know, I am lazy), replacing the fuel filter, checking all the sensors and initial timing. I asked them to do a full diagnostic on the engine control system. I wil lget the print outs if I can.

Thursday, she gets new O2 sensors, and the complete custom Magnaflow exhaust. I wanted to change the O2 sensors before I had the dealership test her out, but didn't get around to changing them out. The exhaust shop will do it when they are bending up my new stainless steel system.

Before I drop her off at the exhaust place, I will take her across the street where they will be doing 3 pulls on the dyno, to get a base line HP & TQ. Once I get the exhaust and O2 sensors changed, I will return to the dyno for 3 more pulls, to see how much I hurt or helped either.

If I can get a friend's digital camera, I will take some sound and video clips of the before and after, too.

I should have some results for you guys on Friday.

Will be interesting to compare these to Rob's before and after dyno #s.

Jeff you might wanna give the car a few days to get used to the new 02 sensors so that its short and long term fuel can adjust properly. I would reset the ECU and drive it around for a few days till the car adjusts to the new sensors.

I would like to see what your car puts down before and after...

[Jeff Williams]

Thanks, Black

That is good advice. I was trying to get a "One Dyno Pull" deal, for doing them the same day.

I might just spread them out a bit.

Hopefully, I will get a nice sound clip this morning of the OEM exhaust.

OBDI is not like OBDII! The ECU will adjust immediately. If you wanna feel better, undo the battery before they replace the o2 sensors.
