I hope you're not getting your DME switch settings from the 944FAQ, which is totally bogus. Here's the real chart for a 944:

Danno,,

That's where I printed the page from, the link that you posted. You may have been the one that posted it a couple of weeks ago.

I'm going to be installing a new LR stage II head after the first of the year. I'm also going to get, new injectors, a new turbo,,just can't decide if I'll get the Kokeln or the Garrett. John Milledge just made me a price on a very high performance "S" turbo but I have to find a core first.

Just wondering with everyone out there that has upgraded, air flow, chips, injectors, ,,,,,oh well that can be another thread after the first of the year.

Holy Moy Danno!
Thanks for the tip! 3% less fuel is not what
I'm after. Curious how/why the throttle response was actually better than at the +3%
setting.

Danno

Russ, what kind of mods do you have in your car? Perhaps your car was running too rich, and leaning it out 3% gave you the optimum mixture.



The Autothority Stage2 chips are notorius for being overly rich in the mid-range, yet they get too lean in the upper RPMs. And the crank in wayyyy too much ignition retard as a safety measure (also to cover-their-a**). So you end up with sluggish partial-throttle mid-range response. But it DOES allow people to run 20psi knock-free. However, the car may not produce any more power than 15psi with optimized timing.

On the issue of ignition timing, there is ONLY ONE optimum timing-map for each boost level. That is the point right before it starts to detonate & knock. If you somehow have your car set up with a manual-boost controller or some other way of adjusting boost on the fly (15/18psi combo seems popular), and your car works at BOTH boost settings, then you're sacrificing performance at the lower boost-level because your ignition is retarded too much.

When my wastegate's diaphragm got punctured, my gauges were reading around 21 lbs. (this is with stock chips). It took a week or two before the fuel cut off started to kick in.(driving carefully). But i never expirience n/e knocking. ignition retarding must have been at the full 6 degrees. Now the car feels just as powerful @ 14 lbs.

I'm still running the stock chips with the Lindsey boost enhancer dialied to 13 psi.
I have a drop-in K&N in the stock airbox and
an MSD 6A ignition with indexed plugs. I installed a 2.5" cat replacement and cut out
the stock muffler and replaced it with the
16" Borla Sportsman racing muffler. I played around with higher octane at the lst driver's ed event I did and it seemed like allowed me to run like a scared rabbit. Maybe less retard going on?

Danno

Luke, you got that Modern Performance MAF working with the stock DME/KLR & chips? Wow, I'd be interested in seeing a dyno-chart of your configuration. Seems like the best bang-for-the-buck upgrade yet.

Danno

HI Russ, how do you have that MSD-6A ignition hooked up? Are you just using it as an amplifer and taking the trigger signal from the DME? Or have you bypassed that completely and using a trigger off the crank/flywheel and using only the MSD unit for ignition?

If you notice a difference with higher-octane gas, then yes, perhaps there's some retard going one due to detonation.

Russ Murphy

Danno,
As an amplifier triggered by the DME. I'm trying to remember, but I think it's essentially installed between(so to speak) the coil and the distributor. The box itself fits nicely in the very back of the glove compartment. There were already extra grommets/holes through the firewall and the wiring is routed adjacent to the power to the windsheild washer resevoir.

Luke

Danno,

The MP MAF isn't in yet. (rebuilding tranny presently)

I cannot wait to install it though. It's beautiful. I didn't measure it but im pretty sure it's a 3 incher. (so simple) you wonder why everybody charges so much for them. The idle/mixture controlls look like the same unit as LINDSEY:S.

The sensor is actually made by a company called "PRO FLOW" that is located here in MICHIGAN. I cant wait i can't wait.

Well actually it's a Xmas gift and the she decided to hide it in the refridgerator ( i hardly go in there). LMAO. (so i can honestly say that it is COOL.

comes with a K/N cone and mounting hardware. He does'nt sell replacement J pipes to relocate the filter to the fender. I was hoping to get one fabricated.

I could pay the difference between Lindsey's stage 1 and 2 to get the turbo pipin' but i think $300+ is a little silly

I will have Hi Res pics of the product on here Dec. 25th. Maybe the car will be drivable the 26 is there isn't n/e snow here in Michigan. (lmao)

Luke

Ps I will be picking up K 27 chips (if n/e has some for sale) Because I'll also be installing a garret turbo.
I have my stock 26/6 (68k miles great shape . Shaft has less than a mm of play) and the factory air box/ Air flow meter up for sale.
