Yea, I hear usually 10-11o'clock seems to be the best, but that varies a lot.

You've gotta look at it like just another challenge you can overcome. Stay optimistic and you'll beat it.

Write that down.

How about a leak in the exhaust system before WBO2 sensor? Like a crack in 2-3 header or a twisted/loose flange...gets hot after few pulls and starts to leak, causing funny A/FR's.

Motec is the best money can buy, don't let any one tell you other wise. I don't have personal experience with MS but based on what it is I would not use it. I have personal experience with Autronic and would never use it.

I like my Tec3r a lot and would also sugest considering that route, I went with it because of local suport and it is a good system. If I was picking a system just based on the syatem I would go with the Motec.

Hey just look at it this way.

You are much more intimate with the car now.

Injector wires are completely new now. I don't feel this was the problem in the first place. But... we'll see soon.

Thank you sir.

I heard the same thing from my old Tuner (Jason) when i was at the dyno. He said it was a dis-appointment for what you could get for the same price.

The two votes Nay on Autronic. - Out.
One for MS and Onefor Motec.
I might go the cheaper route right now since Jason said he's comfortable with it and it worked great on the last three cars. - that And I really have spent waaaaay too much lately. well past my budget.
My Friend with the RX-7 Is ready to buy the MOTEC. It might take me enough time with this set up, that he will have it on his car and I will see what experiences he has with it.
If you thought I threw money at a car.. This guy loves to do it. - That method of course, works well.

Thanks again for the encouraging words guys. They're good to hear and do help.
I'm truckin along. I just can't stop now. I know I have a sleeping monster and I'm just too close.

If I do get this Air fuel thing worked out. I'm stopping at 400hp. I was going to go to 475, but I truly want to drive this freakin thing. And I feel 400 is "safe" There will be more left on the table, and after I've had my fun, I will build another motor and go and try and blow this one up by turning up the boost and challenging the track times I hope I ever get to do this summer.

That's the right attitude look forward no hesitation, no retreat, no surrender but always know that lart has a spot in his heart for your car.

AlexE and JustinL here on RL both have the MS in different versions and both seem to be having good success as their cars seem to run fine make good HP and they can make changes to the tuning as needed. Neither spent big bucks. I like my TEC3 but it's a bit more costly.

Sweet new Avatar A. Wayne

Thanks again guys.
It ended up being one of these three. (Did all at same time)

Shielded wiring problem for knock or Speed&Reference sensors.
Bad Speed and References sensors. What a pain in the but to change.
Bad knock sensor.

Alll changed out. Car now work fine. Smooth air fuels all the way through.

Goin back to the Dyno on Friday, May 8th. Hope it goes well. I'll post that one up again, no matter what.
