Default Re: Project Crossfire - a Rotrex Supercharged Limited!

Well guys, I've sat on it for a few weeks and am in a better place. I guess I was just feeling very overwhelmed with everything going on, not to mention a move. It is very hard to think about working on your car when your garage is stacked to the ceiling with boxes!

Oh well. Something I've learned is that with the added air flow, I get a random tps error. I plan on running that through the analog b input of the AEM so I can modify the signal and see how that works. However, first things first and that is getting her inspected. She passed last year, but during the process I disabled the egr. I'm going to set that straight, reposition the IC pump as it is in the lower driver's side bumper and it doesn't like the occasional curb block bump. Once those two things are behind me, I need to find a steel idler pulley. I increased the belt tension for the sake of grip and that pulley didn't do too well in the Texas heat with the added stress. I've since lessened the tension but not without causing my idler pulley to complain a little when cold.

Then finally I'll get back to tuning her up. This time, just in case I have an unexpected break, I will keep a log so that I know exactly where and under what circumstances I left off. I guess I finally have so much going on in my life combined with age that I can't remember EVERYTHING the way I used to think I did
