Eric,
Well done!! Looks like my question about Dynatek working on my car's been answered. Rodney, you going to be ready after the first of year......with the twofer deal? |
Eric, do you have your cam specs? What are they?

Let me say first that Keith and I talked about the cam, and the system "will" take more cam, and make more power/trq. Gross Valve Lift Intake .645 Gross Valve Lift Exhaust .635 Duration(@ .050) Intake 242 Duration(@ .050) Exhaust 248 Lobe Seperation 110.0 If you need more left me know and I'll send you a scan on the card. E |
My cam is slightly bigger, though close enough, but has a 112 LSA. What's exactly involved with making the Dynatek system operational on your car?

The DynaTek system comes with the software to tune it, but you need someone that can tune. The only mechanical thing that I can think of was the fit from the intake to the heads and block. It needed work, but not much. Keith might be able to explain what they did, I do remember it was $180 to fit the intake to the heads and block. E |

Congrats on a great build and thanks for sharing. |
E, yup, thankfully, my car is up and running. Where does the computer get mounted and I assume a sidepipe is drilled for the O2 sensor? I'm just trying to assess the difficulty factor in hooking up one of these setups. What was the "fitting" all about? Did they have to mill the intake and/or heads for a proper fit?

I am going to get the small individual runner K&N filters, and have a chassis tune for both, no filters, and the K&N filters. I will not be using the "booties". :LOL: The side pipe is drilled and a bung fitted (welded) between the muffler and where the collector is, about as far back to the muffler as you can without getting into the muffler. The fit between the intake and and the block and heads was not "true" to my understanding. I'll check with KC and see if I can get you a better explaination. But it could not have been much as it was only 180 bones. I'll check. E |
Progress!
Progress!
The engine has moved into the same room as the roller, and will soon be installed! Pics! The picture with the air filters is a trial, I have the shorter stacks and will try to see if I can run filters. KCM does a nice job wrapping the car to keep dust and such off of it. http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...Asp/52_024.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...Asp/52_023.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...Asp/52_022.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...Asp/52_021.jpg http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...Asp/52_002.jpg Michael, Thanks for the pics!

I see you have the Avons mounted as well... Sweet!

The 305's were the best tire size (IMO), but even if you could get them they would be the BFG's......BOOOOOOO!!!! I will have to see how the Avons are...:3DSMILE: Thanks RR! E |

That looks like a lot of fun, Eric.
Congrats. |

I am excited to get the engine in the car, but now it could wait until after January 2nd really. E |
Nice going Eric. Congrats on the Dynatek and the numbers. Be careful with that lethal weapon. You're almost there.
|
ThIS IS exciting Eric. Many years ago I had one of the first Turbo Carreras and nobody could understand why I let my buds drive it. The reason was like this thread. Everyone enjoyed the experience. What's more is we shared it. Keep it up and congratulations.

Your car is still in Arkansas? I would really like to crawl around and check out your setup. If, ahem.....I could hook up with you at a STL CC meet? I have been thinking hard about changing out the DQ's for FI. Very interesting thread, much fun to follow. Congrats on following through and getting it finished.;) |
Quote:
I will sure make the car available. I am already a member of Fords Unlimited here in da Lou-Town, and I regularly miss all the meetings :JEKYLHYDE I am hoping to make some events in 2009, have to make a better effort. Eric Scott, thanks for the kind words. It has been a blast having the car built and thought other peeps might like to see how the DynaTek system comes together. E |
beautiful car.
curious though, I've heard that individual filters on a stack/weber set up will hurt top end hp by limiting airflow. Have you had your engine dyno'd with and without the filters installed, and if so, did they affect hp at all? |
Eric- Those Avon's DO look a skinny in the back. Are they 275's or 295's?
Oh well........they could be 245's and still have more grip than the 305 BFG's! I like the look of those filters. Where did you get them? It will be interesting to see what (if any) changes in dyno figures will be with / and without filters. This is becoming not only a very fun / interesting thread to follow, but also quite an informative one as well - especially to those looking into a FI system and/or thinking about purchasing Avons. -Car is looking good buddy! |
