Fired her up tonight and DAAAAAAAMMMMNNNNN!!!!! She sounds killer..the 230/236 with the 112 lsa is wicked...Ion from madz28.com did a wonderful job tuning the pcm...I will post sound clips tomorrow possibly and pics after she is all washed up and waxed!!!

 

Hey Man,
Congratulations on the install. You'll eventually get used to the 230/236 and probably want to go even bigger

We need soundclips

Tim

 

you know what??? I actually thought that it would be much louder than it is....not bad at all...I will post sound tomorrow

 

Welcome to the 15 MPG club.

 

More like 10 in the city

Brandon

 

or how about the, "car never runs due to bull$hit problems these cars have"



oh yeah, and amen to the 10 or less mpg in city club

 

My only respite is that I'm still on the initial "safe" blower tune for the heads and cam. So it should go back up when I get around to doing that. Also, mine was an average of city and highway, although it seems like every idiot I got behind was going too slow for me to use 5th or 6th gears so my mileage went down I'm sure.

 

Congratulations you'll come to love your new found power I was gonna ask if you noticed a difference between the stock tune and Ion's tune but looks like you had the pcm before the initial startup.

 

Congrats. Mine is on a 114LSA, so it sounds a C hair tamer. Great cam, oh and I average 18mpg with 50/50 driving.

 

Ran her today, a few issues I ran into....first....when driving after a bit on steady pace....she misses...I think one of my spark plug wires is toast or arching through the insulate. ....and my friend notices that I was blowing black smoke out the back....is that because she is running rich? Any ideas?

 

smoke color goes as follows

black is from fuel
white is from water
blue is from oil

so I would guess that it is from being rich

by the way--BEAUTIFUL car!

 

it's definately black...what could it be...too rich? I am running 32lb injectors with the stock fuel pump for the time being...

 

u didn't mention what your pressure regulator is set at...if you are running a stock regulator, time to step up to an adjustable aftermarket one, but even that wouldn'c make you run rich

there could be a number of things involved, sensors acting up, something with the tune, plugs being too hot or too cold (length) the list keeps going.

 

pressure regulator? I didnt touch the regulator, so whatever stock was with the 24lb stock injectors, thats what its at
