I've only started it to move it around, I've never run it long enough for it to warm up. I do know the alternator is messed up. That's why the guy we bought it from quit driving it. The wire to the alt is fried, so that doesn't help. Quote Selected

Reply #64 – January 28, 2009, 10:55:31 PM i've read this whole thread just now and it's a ed shame how people talk to each other online compared to how they would in person. it took practically nothing to set everyone off. it's not impressing anyone to act like a jerk on an online forum. there's not even that many of us compared to the mustang and camaro guys. the least you'd think we'd have to show for it would be a sense of togetherness. i know it sounds cheesy, but it's the truth.as for my opinion on budderig's coug, i'm still not sure if i'm a fan of the tc nose on it, but i give you props for trying it. maybe with a few more pics i could be convinced, but whatever... that's just my opinion. if you like it, go for it.as for the engine, i'm not seeing the method to the madness either tbh. i'd have just went HO and mass air from the start. the speed density will run, but not nearly as well as it would with maf. i can vouch for the sputtering and falling on it's face under throttle, but do whatcha gotta do, pimpin'! :) Quote Selected

lots of swapping...56k warning lots of pics... Reply #67 – February 13, 2009, 09:22:00 PM did the mass air swap. used a a9l ecu and a 70 mm mass with a bbk 70 mm throttle body with my ho intake. and I must say I am not impressed. power is about the same. throttle response at lower speeds is better. but idle sucks. it idles ok when it get up to operating temp.(190 degrees) but when cold it surges and stalls at stop lights. and no matter hot or cold it stalls when going from park neutral to a movement gear... reverse or drive. well I guess its time for a tune.... for the sd haters.... the sd ran better... noticed a 2 mpg increase on mpg going to the mass. but the sd seemed more reliable. started quicker, idled better and had the same wot power.

Reply #68 – February 13, 2009, 10:39:18 PM It's been proven time and time again that a stock cammed HO with stock or near stock everything else will run better with SD.You have a b-cam so that's irrelevent....Mass air is more forgiving and user friendly as you start to get more involved. It sounds as if you've done both the Mass Air swap and throttle body swap to the 70 mm uni at the same time.Quotethe sd ran better... noticed a 2 mpg increase on mpg going to the mass. but the sd seemed more reliable. started quicker, idled better and had the same wot power.I believe your issues lie more with getting the TPS and IAC dialed in with the throttle body then with the Mass Air if you didn't overlook something on the MAF swap -- it happens....Did you check for codes?Run a vacuum test?Did you disconnect the vacuum line to the MAP/BAP sensor and cap the manifold side?

I have not checked the vacuum at the intake. power brakes work so it has 15inchs at least.no codes.I have tryed other throttle bodys and maf's. with no change.I wish my da1 tweecer would work with the mass setup but my supplier says that it wont. but he did say he would trade it in for an a9l tweecer.honestly if I wasnt going to boost it.... and I knew that there would be such a small difference in performance I would have just left it sd. tuning it was a breeze. and parts are dirt cheep.

Tweecer issue Reply #72 – February 28, 2009, 08:06:19 AM Quote from: Budderigs;256708I wish my da1 tweecer would work with the mass setup but my supplier says that it wont. but he did say he would trade it in for an a9l tweecer Please correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you flash the tweecer with a new file to match the a9l? Use a computer connected to the usb of the tweecer and read the eec catch code then upload it to the tweecer. It was on my vehicle idling on the tweecer but may have fried when I accidently disonnected and connected it with the key on. :mad: Imho there is no reason to have a tweecer if you can't change the parameters or use different processors. It appears the tweecer is a very powerful tuning tool, but there was like a bunch of stuff going on the laptop and I was careless :punchballs: Let me know if you get yours working :burnout: Mike Quote Selected
