1988 TC single Holset turbo 5.0/ 4R70W Reply #1110 – February 07, 2014, 10:25:38 PM Quote from: thunderjet302;428576Sounds like fun :). I bet the engine makes somewhere between 325-350hp without the turbo. Most 302, GT40 intake, Twisted Wedge 170/Edelbrock Performer/AFR 165 headed cars make in that range.Well, anything over 250 N/A would be pretty nice since I have the power adder for when I want more. All I have to do is press harder on the gas! Quote Selected

1988 TC single Holset turbo 5.0/ 4R70W Reply #1115 – August 14, 2014, 10:03:02 AM It's doing well. I had to replace the O2 sensor. I used break in additive with lead in it and it took out the sensor. Otherwise no issues to speak of. I am needing a pick-up truck, so I am going to advertise the Tbird this fall.I hate to sell it, but I need to cull the herd a bit for garage space. I still have a couple little things to do to it before I sell it. Nothing big, just detail stuff.It really runs good. I'm happy with it. Quote Selected

Also how did u modify it for V8 use?Thanks,TravisIt's a 86 I believe. It is stock with input from a relay pulse generator taking a 1/2 pulse output generated from a Megasquirt output. Quote Selected
1988 TC single Holset turbo 5.0/ 4R70W Reply #1119 – August 24, 2014, 12:28:59 PM So this is something you modified with in MS??? or an additional part...TravisP.S. my car is an 86 so I currently have that model Quote Selected
1988 TC single Holset turbo 5.0/ 4R70W Reply #1120 – August 24, 2014, 06:25:14 PM I built a circuit detailed in the megamanual that takes an input pulse from MS and turns it into a 'dirty' negative pulse that the tach can use. Since I am using a 4 cylinder tach, I used a handy divider in MS that cuts the generated pulse by 2 from the V8 signal. The tach needs to see a big spike to read, so just using the MS signal isn't enough by itself. You must add a relay coil to pulse to ground to get enough to read. I have built 3 of these and they all have worked well and reliably. They are noisy htough. If you put it in the cabin you will hear it clicking. Quote Selected

1988 TC single Holset turbo 5.0/ 4R70W Reply #1124 – June 06, 2015, 12:30:27 AM I thought there was a way to double the tach output htrough the tuner studio software...Travis Quote Selected
