I have bought my ticket to go back if the health fails me, been on the other side and not in fear of the end. DOne most everything and at this point just doing more of the same. Not sure that adding more time is a goal worth working on, still enjoying what I have. My thought: Enjoy the path, the destination is the end.........
Now on the tune I have done it, just trying to perfect the design to make it reproducable and solid.. Dont wanna release any half baked ideas, thats worst than not releasing at all. THe tune is self correcting using an additional data monitoring compressor, adjusts for throttle position and DA. Canned tunes are adjusted for a given set of conditions and work more or less on a given day.
If you are not 100 % wide open and at a different day's DA the mixture is a bit too lean or rich depending on the conditions. Tunes areIts the best option available NOW; this is why I have been busting my pick trying to get the design of a DYNAMIC tuning capacity ready for market. SO far I can select with my laptop the f/a GOAL and the add-on computer works to make this happen. The mixture is sensed with a wideband 02 sensor to actually add or reduce fuel to get the right f/a readings desired. THis is done using adjustable fuel pressure, only 3- 6 PSIG up or down from the normal setting. I did lots of photos and a posting of this activity a while ago.
THe STOCK injectors are fully capable of FLOODING the motor while running stacked pulleys, just by using the fuel pressure adjustment approach method. I went from 17:1 to 9:1 in one fell swoop, and then sold my code 3 ( a sweet design ) cause 25 psig was too much for me here in Manassas [within 200 feet of sea level]...
Finally ( a triple write up and on a friday too)
I have worked out two fan options that are pulling me in two different directions.
A. SIMPLE and low cost method to cool down the motor when you are in line at the track drag or autox. It only works while idling and can not be utilized while PUSHING the car, the computer will not allow it. It does the job but it is a Woody type of work around and not sexy. There goes that age thing again.
B. THis approach would operate anytime including during a run, and would operate the fan at a higher speed. The speed would be in addition to the setting that the computer is asking for. THe speed would be adjustable with a simple control in the car. I dont wanna get into an argument with the computer or start playing with its "code". Its a more 'sexy' approach and consists of a small module to be added to the car, development of the pc card would slow my development, Ive done it before - lots for Fort Fumble back in the day.
As the NCC-1701's computer

Woody, oh yeah WEEKEND
Hmmm, very very interesting there Woodward.
