Have you ever dyno'd it yet? I was just wondering i have virtually the same car, just stock with no wing, was wondering what kind of power i could get out of it without having to do a full motor swap

Im confused, you dont have virtually the same car if its stock. screwloose.gif

The previous owner Brett (The98Avenger) dyno'ed it before porting the intake manifolds, it was about 220 WHP if i remember him saying correctly.

Plus all the pics are stolen from Brett. icon_smile.gif

I do too have "Virtually" the same car, just not nice at all, so in a sense the only difference is that your spent money into your and i havent had the time yet for mine.

OK, but still if your stock your dyno numbers are around 135-140bHP @ 6000RPM, I believe dunno.gif
I cant remember the specifics. I'm not sure if you are asking about the dyno because you are planning to mod your A/S aprox. the same way as mine and many others here at ASEC or if you were just curious.

Correct me if Im wrong Skilo, but what I thinks he's trying to say is, he has the same setup as you, it may not, look as good as yours (which is fantastic, your car is fuckin hott) but its the same setup.

Well above he stated "virtually the same car, just stock and no wing", now I interpretted that as fully stock, But now as you stated Im thinking he meant stock body.

Dude, your car reminds me so much of badsnakes' (Phil from CT/MA).

Seriously though, your rides looking good. I've noticed some really advanced A/S's here lately - things most of us couldn't have done 5 years ago with the lack of aftermarket support. Great to see you guys still modding AS's. I'll probably buy another A/S within the year; coming back and seeing them here on ASEC has given me the fever.


Oh, and badsnake (Phil) was a member 5-6 years ago. He hasn't been active since late '02.

Installed the wideband on wednesday. The lambda reading at idle is around 14.7-15.3, not sure what it should actually be at.

Also ran into some electrical issues after installing it. My right turn signal is stuck on blinking. Also my window controls from my driver side intermittently stops working.
john97es
on my zeitronix lambda usually reads 1.0 at idle

afr usually reads 14.7

i dont even know what the lambda means

During closed loop, the stock ecu tries to maintain 14.7:1 a/f.



and roofles at blinker -- what wires did you splice into? i hate electrical shit, but thats funny

lambda is the a/f ratio over stoic (14.7:1). 1 = stoic, less than 1 = rich, greater than 1 = lean.

I spliced into my headlight wires the same as the boost and EGT gauge I figured that shouldn't cause a problem. The turn signal just started acting up yesterday so I'm pretty sure its not the wiring I did. The window I figured out the connection to the PW's was loose and if I slammed the door it would stop working. I just cant figure out the turn signal? All the wires look good and nothing is worn away or touching to cause it to stay on. I checked my fuses too? dunno.gif
East Coast Ghost
OK so tomorrow the plans are:

Get a new multifunction switch (turn signal lever) because mine is bad and is causing the blinker to stay on.
Clean up some of the wiring mess and put some black loom over some unprotected wires.
Make sure my power windows connector is secure and working properly
Fix my eclipse console mount for the deck
Possibly do a boost leak test

Today I put a new house on the piece that comes directly off the TB at the top that elbows into another line (not sure what line it is) because the one that was on there was ripped and you could hear air coming through when the car was on if you flexed it.

I'll update this tomorrow on how much I actually get done.
East Coast Ghost
Only shot I have from the inside of my car (only difference is that the narrowband is now a wideband)

Quick little update: 2-27-2009

I replaced the master cylinder with a GSX OEM master cylinder. However the brakes still hold no pressure in the brake pedal it still just goes straight to the floor with the brakes barely engaging to even slow the car down. I now have no clue where to check now. All the lines are fine as far as I can tell.

The driver side power window controls are still not functioning what so ever I cannot put the drivers side window up or down nor can I put the passenger side up or down from the driver side controls.

My alarm does not work any more. It still locks and unlocks the doors from the remote but doesnt engage the alarm, I believe the unit has gone bad.

Right turn signal is constantly on, it will not shut off or engage the left turn signal. Multi-function switch?

I disconnected my wideband to rewire it because I believe it was poorly installed.

Car still fires up and runs perfect even though its been sitting for quite sometime. Im going to try and work on it more since the weather is starting to get a little better.

fjm9898
yay for electrical problems tear.gif

its snowed some more the past two days so i havent been able to touch my car.

lets get these turbo cars running man. the spring is almost upon us.
