wtf??? could it have something to do with your way of remembering resistor colours lol?

thanks for the input davage, i don't think it will effect me to much though as i change oil every 5k but good to know.

thats 110rwkw lol yes i know but hang on i feel some more of my maths coming on ari. 20 extra kw at the rear wheels would surely be 30ish kw at the flywheel which means 147kw+30kw=177kw. and then my fully sik cold air intake to pod, 25mm mani spacer, mace mecal, staight through cat, no rear...

lol yeh it really left the basic part behind, little computer boards with transistors, resistors diodes and the like lol been very educational though. sorry to hi jack thread OP. btw post 221 and 237 on my thread should help with wiring but basicaly the system gets power from vcc and a signal...

the engine definately has a very different torque curve to a standar ecotec, pulls my wagon fully loaded with luggage me the mrs and kid up a hill in overdrive at 100 without dropping to 3rd. the cam is supposed to increase torque over a broader range with small gains up high, basically i don't...

the pistons are standard comp but the pistons and rods and crank are lighter, the bottom end is balanced. the heads are ported and shaved a tiny bit, as is the block. there is the cam and valve machining. i think a 20kw rear wheels gain would be expected, but as i said i was told the engine...

i get what your saying but as i said its a stage 1 from a company called spencer race engines not a stage 1 race engine. they are a very well know company esspecially in the speedway scene. the stage 1 is there improved version of a normal reco motor their stage 2 is their steet motor a stage 3...

thanks for the input clubby good to hear someone elses opinion who has done this. "You may have mentioned this before but what exactly was done to make it a "stage 1 SRE engine" okay i will try to get all this right, btw my engine had a couple of little extra things done like balancing and the...

yeh i currently have a mace memcal and i am planning on getting it dyno'd at some point, but i don't want to spend the 1000 bucks until i have rockers/cam and extractors otherwise i'm just going to be doing it again in a year or two. how much is remote tuning and how hard is it to do?? and with...

yes i took note of this post before. sounds pretty extreme though and wouldn't i have issues with detonation if for some reason the system ever failed? or would it be the opposite and make the tune super rich and safe if the system failed?

i can see why your skeptical about the stopwatch but after years of playing the drag racing game nitto legends my reactions are pretty spot on and at the very least consistent. i find when i do 0-100 runs i consistently get times within 0.05 or 0.1 at the worst, and i think most of that is the...

sorry tas i got distracted before, thankyou for the upload when i write my how to i might use those photos if you don't mind, i'm glad to see the results. i ussually don't like to tell my 0-100 times as they are pathetic for the engine and mods i have, since i have a wagon with a sub woofer...

i was skeptical to, but i tried it a few times and as i said i consistently got those results. the engine i have is a Stage 1 Spencer race engine, well honestly its far from a race engine but i was told it was meant to be a lot better down low in the rev range with a noticeable improvement in...

hey guys sorry its been a while since I updated this this, I've been flat out with work Christmas and trying to find a house before 5th of January. I sorted out the bugs I was having and the system works good. when I'm done with this whole moving thing I will finish it off properly as I still...

progress has stalled for the next few days as i've got some temp work. don't think i've given up though, look out for the how too thread in a few weeks. there is a few little things i have to source like hosing and a tank that i just haven't got the time to do atm.

lol i had no idea what that meant i thought you were just drunk or somethin. and the fact you learnt this at school is hilarious. most people don't realise but there is still physical punishment in certain schools throughout aus, and no i dont mean private schools. when i was younger i was...

i see where your coming from but there's no 12k or 12 ohm written on the pack. the only way i could tell was by looking up the item number, i thought the least they could do was give me 12k ohm ones for free but apparently not. it was more the point than the money, anyway i get stubborn with...

i removed them and tested them as changed the way i had the board setup

ok hopefully i got this right. sorry about pic quality a $40 nokia is the only camera i've got atm. i saved the images to attachments (i think that how its done)

btw just a mention, i went to jaycar today and argued with the bloke as he wouldn't give me the resistors that they got wrong for free. he kept saying "but how do i know what you asked for" to which i showed him post 118 and told him that i showed the other bloke that and said i wanted...

dude... 10... K.... ohm. lol yeah sorry i meant to say 10k ohm lol, i knew what i meant. no i havent replaced it but i did test with a multimeter and it say it ok, if it dosent work this time thoguh i will replace the transistors.

thanks ari and tas, i've definately got the wiring right i think it's just the resistor thats my issue. hopefully i can get to jaycar today and pickup a 10ohm resistor. btw thanks for last diagram ari it gave me and idea, i have no idea why, but for some reason i was going to run the + all the...

ok so you're saying it's the right way on the diagram? the silver stipe should be closest to the vcc? i've tried them both ways and its not working either way. i'm thinking about just starting from scratch, after the resistors being wrong from jaycar and then me swapping the diode 3 times, it's...

i must be missing something here, from what i can see on the diagram the cathode should be closest to the vcc. is the diagram wrong or have i just got this totally mixed up?? sorry for being a noob.

yeh i know but have you seen those universal reverse cowl bulges, they look like the ones commonly seen on camaro's and old school muscle cars. they just dont suit the curves of a vs though, or anything after VL in my opinion.

ok i managed to find some 12k resistors and i made it again from scratch. this time went much better but the injector wasn't pulsing at all, theres a few things i think could be the cause. 1: i only had 12k resistor if you look in the item list it says one of them should be 10k, i didn't think...

i went to hook this up today and as soon as power is to it it just holds the injector open and smoke started coming out of the box i made up. i pulled the box apart and went over everything like 10 times, as far as i can see i have done everything right i did however notice that my resistor are...

Ari i never said anything about getting sucked in to a debate with you, i was refering to the tsunamix thing. you've got no idea how much i appreciate the help you and other people have given me. sorry if i was forgetting to hit the like button on all your posts thats my bad i forgot. btw can...

yes thankyou, i'm kinda over the debate to be honest. ephect you have a good idea but it has taken 195 posts to get this far, so i'm going ahead as planned i've started making the board today and will finish tonight. 90% will be setup by the weekend but it wont be completely finished until...

can't remember exactly ari but it some where betwen $10 and $12, this was including a pcb board $5 and a plastic box $3 i also got a mounting kit and 3 spare resistors and 4 spare diodes. so maybe $2 or $3 if you have a board and suitable box, plus you get left with spares.

"How can it assist with fuel consumption if it's not continuously operating ? please refer to my post about how the air does not take a direct path, and how the injector pulses are almost constant at full rpm WOT. also due to the fact the water is not misted it will not transfer immediately...

"Hence me saying go for a 'continuous spray' at WOT by all means, but doing it at part throttle means pulses which means more of your intake cycles will receive no benefit that those that do." it's been stated a few time that i want a setup that will work at cruise and WOT. if i just wanted a...

"No matter which way to cut it, slaving one injector to another is only going to get you a pulse when that injector fires." i know this i never said anything other than that in fact is said that so many times. as far as the rest goes i'm not even going to go there, like i said it may not be as...

thanks for the input everyone i've slept on this now, my mind is made up the ford bonnet buldge like on the black vt/x is the go i rekon.

thanks for all the input guys, i'm leaning towards the xr8 bulge style as like an above poster said on the ss body kit a rounded bulge could look funny. and being a wagon there is alot of straight lines. how much trouble would it be to get one to fit up properly, can i just cut all the low/high...

"So far so good right ? Wrong. Throw everything away and forget it because this is the WOT rate. What happens at part throttle - say 30% ? well theoretically you only want to be injecting 39.42 cc/min. How are you going to do that ?" Have you not read the thread properly? the pulse rate is...

i think the pump holds a pretty constant pressure. when i tested it i just wired the pump to the battery, the w injector was just plugged into on of the fuel injector plugs and a bottle of water to feed. the higher the rpm the better the spray pattern, it is almost like the 2nd pulse of water...

hi everyone, hope i put this in the right place. i've got a few dents in my bonnet, and for some time now i have been planning on putting one off those monaro style bonnets on. only problem is i've started seeing them everywhere, and they can be up to 800 bucks. so i've been considering...

found this hose it will fit perfectly on my pump and injector. know it says for non corrosive materials, does anyone know if methanol at 50:50 would eat through it though?? Kinetic 8mm x 5m Reinforced Pressure Hose I/N 4920249 | Bunnings Warehouse EDIT - by putting a space between the 8 and the...

exciting news people, i have tested the pump with the 17psi switch and on idle it injects 5cc of water (NOT THAT IT WILL BE RUNNING ON IDLE). delco wizard said that the v6 ecotec injects roughly 50cc per min of fuel on idle, so this ties in perfectly with the 1:10 ratio goal. even though i will...
