John,
Words of wisdom as usual. Corky Bell has a new book out on SC with chapters on Eaton, Twin Screw and Centrifugal. With an IC I should be safe at 10 pounds boost, but that's why I'll probably monitor intake temps. He also discusses knock sensors. but I don't want to open that can of worms.

Remember, I said seems to work. I only drove it for less than an hour, and I could be:

Here's what the harness looks like:



Looking at the Temp II sensor from the top, the two sensors are positioned (AFAIK):

.__-__.
[LH|EZ]

This is how the bypass is wired:

L - E
| - |
| - 2.2K resistor from RS
| - |
L - E

The wiring diagram shows the wires as LH - solid green, EZF - green w/red stripe, but mine were green and brown w/ red.
The connectors I got from '80s Audis from a U-Pull-It. The male is more difficult to find. The outside temperature sensor connector - drivers side front grill - is a good one.
Careful with the Temp II connector, the insulation on my wires cracked when I was installing a new sensor, and the copper was exposed. I used some liquid electrical tape on them.

YMMV

Hi Rick do you have more details (title, publisher, ISBN) of that book ? Sounds like a good "hint" for a Christmas present for me :-)

I think you early 32v boostards will need some retard at the top end. I assume that some of you already use the "octane loop" to achive this ? It is ideal as it only retards mid to high load values (although only by 3 deg which isn't really enough.)

John,

Will the EZF listen to both the full throttle switch and the idle switch at the same time? IE combine 20° + 10° retard?

John,
Supercharged! Design, Testing and Installation of Supercharger Systems (Paperback)
by Corky Bell ISBN: 0837601681

I also bought this but I haven't read it enough to know if it is any good.
How to Tune and Modify Engine Management Systems (Motorbooks Workshop) (Paperback)
by Jeff Hartman ISBN: 0760315825

Rick Carter

Ken,
30° retard would be terrible, EGT would melt the exhaust (dramatic license).

Thanks Rick !

If it is the same as the later LH, then no, it only listens to one map at a time.

Later EZK has threee main maps, idle, cruise and WOT.

We will discover whether LH2.2 EZ-F is the same in due course....

Hi Rick I just double checked and it is the same ISBN as the 2002 book by Corky which I have a copy of

The front cover is slightly different, but same ISBN so I assume it hasn't been updated.....?

Rick Carter

I think its the same one, new to me. I think most folks when they discuss his book refer to his previous book: Maximum Boost: Designing, Testing, and Installing Turbocharger Systems (Engineering and Performance) by Corky Bell.

I've read Hartmans book and it's pretty good, though it won't dive into subject, just an roundsight of things.

PorKen

It does have more torque at part throttle, and needs less pedal while highway cruising.

I almost got in trouble again with these 225s, as I gave it a just a little gas (no kickdown) on a wet onramp, and sho'nuff, the rear end started corkscrewing towards the barrier.

Hi Rick,
OK, thanks. I have both books :-)
