Smooth install?
Any difference?
How's that rear end feel now?

The Bilstein front struts are super expensive, but if I ever decide to buy, I'll sell my current KYB GR-2s.

 

How do the Bilsteins feel.

 

Bilstein rears = awesome.
Took care of a squeek I had in the upper shock mount area and the ride feels a bit more comfortable.
They definitely works better with the Eibach springs.
That's why I want the front struts, can't imagine how great they are, but $200+ ea?? yikes.

 

Exactly, My kyb's felt sloppy and once I put the Bilsteins on I noticed it right away. They do work well with the springs. I hope to get some front for christmas but we'll see. I am getting my K member and A arms though.

 

it went pretty good traviz did his normal breaking old parts before it runs

he took off the "pulsator" and tore it apart before it even ran

luckily it ran afterwards no problems.


anyone have the adjustable agx's i got a set of 4 and 2" drop eibach's just havent installed them yet......

ill post pics alittle bit later

 

Are they Sportlines? How much to buy. I want to get rid of my pro kit to lower it a bit more. I have the AGX's but they're on the car at the moment.

 

i have sportlines on my car now, with just kyb gr2's they are way better then stock.

 

they arent for sale i was curious how the ride is gonna be

i paid like $200 for everything they were only used for 1 month i had to remove them though even got the invoice. $600 worth of parts though i like it when people need money or are traders for crap 4th gens....

 

Thread jacker!
Didn't really get on it, So I don't know if the fuel pump makes a difference or not, I am going to run another fuel pressure test and see if it's still dropping and then go from there.

The shocks are way better then what I pulled out. Besides that, /shrug.

 

Well it's kind of a 1 answer thread and you answered it.
My question did have to do with his "shock" question a little.

 

Nah, that's not a thread jack.
Perfectly on topic.

Thread jack =
#1: How's your new part #2?
#3: Who wants to see my piece?
#4: I do
#5: Piece of what?
#6: Send me pics of piece
#7: That piece sucks
#8: I've got 5 pieces
#9: But they're all pieces
#2: (mad)

 

No, You asked how my install went and how my new shocks feel. In which case Steve asked how your Bilsteins are which is nothing to do with this topic. :P

 

His Bilsteins replaced you KYB's so it did relate.If he hadn't replaced them you would have nothing to reply for.

 

haha, you ladies are nuts.

anyways, here's some more off topicness.
not sure if you came across this yet Trav, but here's some copied $8d AE tuning definition basics for you if you haven't learned those tables/constants yet.

accel enrich delta tps multiplier vs delta tps:

increasing these values increase global ae. these values add AE to a delta tps change.

accel enrich delta TPS factor vs asycn pulse:

derived from the current PW to arrive at a value to divide for the rest of the AE functions. if the AE tables are maxed these values need to be increased.

accel enrich delta tps multi vs collant temp:

these are fairly striaght forward. increasing these values increases AE at various engine temps. use this to correct for a rich or lean Tip in issue when hot or cold. i highly suggest doing all AE tunning hot so you can scale up or down the cold values. its a fairly straight forward sort of table and the curve tends to be somewhat linear.

accel enrich map pw multiplier vs delta map:

increasing the values adds AE pw when the map goes delta. so if there is a sudden load change the BPW the ecm is computing will be multipled by this number and add to the final PW to deliver the final AE enriched PW

accel enrich delta map PW multipler vs coolant:

same as before the table works like a TPS AE delta clamp. its a function to fix load changes when the engine is cold. as stated above do all AE tunning when at running tempature and work backwards to cold. its alot easier that way.

accel enrich delta map PW decay factor vs coolant temp:

this is how you adjust the tail or the slope or rate of decrease in the actual Pump shot itself. these factors control the slope of decrease vs coolant temp over a period of time. as stated do all tunning hot. youll find that the cold setting will fall into place alot easier that way.

accel enrich delta factor multiplier Vs TPS:

this is the amount of AE that is calcualted for a state change in TPS . the table is miss labled in TC. however if the TPS changes X amount the multiplier will factor in and provide more AE shot if its value is increased. recudeing the values decreases the TPS delta AE being added.

accel enrich delta map enable vs tps:

This table states the amount of TPS required to allow for a delta MAP AE event to occur.in short if the TPS isnt exceeding the amount in the table MAP AE will not occur. you are also specifying how much of a MAP delta change there has to be for the AE event to occur vs TPS. the TPS delta is fixed. although the KPA change can be modified.

ok now onto the constants:

accel enrich delta tps scale fator:

this constant bascially multiplies the change in TPS and it gets stored into ram for a cmparing calcualtion. the multiplier simplys exagerates or de exagerate the actual TPS change.

accel enrich delta MAP scale factor:

Same as above except with the MAP

 

Thanks, That may help me.

 

Did you guys go to the track yest?
How did the LS1 do? mid-high 13's?

 

he thought it was a burnout contest and did a 15.3 lol

he was in the low 14's couldnt find 3rd most of the time but his best was a

13.8

 

Ya it wasn't that great but still fun. my 15.3 was thanks to traction control. My mph most of the night was 103, but at the end of the night i had a 105. On one run when I hit second gear the car got hella crooked and I got scared.

 

Sweet, I guess.
I figured it would be about a high 13.

 

I think a short shifter would help me hit third alot easier. But I don't plan on racing it much so we will see. It was fun though, I had the craving for some good 1320 pounding.

 

I know the feeling.
I'll get the urge to take the Supra out for some 15's sometimes, then my better judgement kicks in.

 

Since we're off topic

Travis...

I'd like to know how in the hell you have a 383 and are pulling mid 13's??? :/

Alot has changed in here, last I saw you were pulling your top end off for one reason or another, now you have a new motor, lol. That's the way to do it right there though.

 

Big T is having tuning issue. if he get those fixed, he should be flying

 

The 13.4 is with the old mass air flow based ecm. Like It says, that run was made before I had my exhaust, torque converter (was running 2400stall full size at the time) and my fuel pump as of yesterday was proven to be taking a **** on me (fuel pressure tests show that at idle, a nice rev of the engine showed an average of about 15-20psi drop in fuel pressure).

After I did my speed density (map) conversion, I ran it again with the 3000stall, and I would spin bad out of the hole (2.3 60's) with my now worn tires. The engine totally felt like a dog once I got the ecm into a decent 'drivable' condition. So that is where I am at now. Tuning. I have the new fuel pump installed now and I have no more fuel pressure drop. I set it to 40 psi, and reved the engine a few times quickly to about 5k and see maybe 1psi drop. Not bad. Tomorrow I am going to fool around with the ecm. I set injector pressure to 20 and set the injector constant in the ecm to 30. We will see what that does. I am doing this based on when I first got the '727 ecm running that it ran good in backupmode and 10psi. But I know this is not the way the engine should run so I am definitely not keeping it that way.

 

Nice

I remember you always complaining about your car being a total heap when I first showed up here about a year and a half ago. Turned out to be a really nice build so far. Get that thing tuned, it's going to be a beast.

Does it run without knock on pump gas?

And no wonder you get wheelspin like crazy, I would've stayed with a 2400 stall on that thing, maybe 2600 or so. 3000 is right about where torque on that motor is really starting to wake up, that's making it hard to pull a controlled launch. At 2400 it should still have the power to pull you out of the hole, but would be alot easier to control wheelspin. After you get the launch down pat with a lower stall, it'd be alot easier to launch it with the 3k.

 

I'll just get stickier tires to overcome the 3000stall ^_^

 

What kind of tires u got on there

 

lol, bald kumhos

 

lmao

no wonder

you couldn't launch a 6 banger with a stick on some baldies in these cars without getting wheelspin

not literally

but it does get pretty bad sometimes

 

Bad tires wouldn't explain the 10 mph loss however.

 

 

 

 

Was wondering when you were going to post these

I like that first pic you can really tell I was working hard!

Good times and great BBQ by Big Willie Style!

 

haha nice pics. Is that bbk pump louder than the stock one?

 

I hear no difference.

 

Being deaf and having a loud car helps also I'm sure.

It's never going to be as loud as the external Holley was on my Hell Camino.

 

Huh, what you say?

 

ha ha, awesome pics thanks to my woman Vanessa. Good times that night guys, we should do it more often, that is having of bbq and beer, lol, forget the part about working on the iroc, lol, sorry bish. Nah, it was fun either way. I find it even more enjoying working on a thirdgen now since I don't have one anymore, I think it's that whole the heart grows more fond in time without having what I used to have thing.

 

COMPUTER SHIRT

 

Yeah I kept giving someone crap about that

 

w00t!
Video coming soon.

 

Roughly 100mb. Enjoy.

100 megs... damn.

you ain't getting anyone to download that unless there is footage of naked women

 

..Anyone with anything not as primitive as dial up should be able to download it no problem.

 

I downloaded it in less than 5 min. and the vid is hilarious.

"Hit 'em in the face...hit 'em in the face..."

"Yo computer shirt where's the bolts?!?!?!"

Definitely some of my highlights

 

Awesome vid, thanks again to my woman, lol. Ya Vin your contributions are great, if you listen very closely you hear a lot, it's awesome because we are not even aware we are getting taped. Good night to remember guys.
