86Z24 hybrid engine build - Advice?

[86Z24hybrid]

i basicly just smoothed it out a bit, made it a bit more of a point at the top side of it.

as for tuning the 86 cavy ecm (7302) there is pretty much nothing. you either need to convert it from a 24 pin rom to a 28 pin eprom before you can do anything, or swap to a different ecm, wich means rewiring the engine bay harness-ecm plugs and then you have to start with a clean sheet on tuning. it isnt that much, i priced it out to be under $300 for eveything i needed to start off tuning, but thats once i swapped the ecm over. for the time and hassle of it, im just gonna start with a megasquirt standalone. gonna cost me about the same amount of money in the end, and i never have to screw around with an emulator or burning chips.

if you need any help with anything, hit me up on msn or pm me, ive pretty much completly built 3 first gen cavies now.

Thanks for the offer and the info, I might have to take you up on both...

i hear alot of good things about megasquirt, alot of the turbo saturn guys run it. i just didn't get the time to get it

the megasquirt is a rather good standalone, it is the cheapest one out there, and the reason for that is its a lot more involved than other setups. with most others, you have a list of what works with what, what settings to use for everything to get it running, and many even come with decent base maps. is not the case with the megasquirt. you need to build your own wiring harness (or what im planning on, adapt the factory harness) and start from a clean page on tuning. its considered a DIY stand alone. you can either get the ecm assembled ready to go, or a bare circuit board and all the parts and build it yourself.

Well if someone in florida would stop procastinating I would be able to test some iron head porting/fin removal. The fin is supposed to be in there according to the GM Performance book but I have also seen people remove it anyway. I really couldn't tell you either way since I have no experience with it, but its probably best to leave it alone unless you know what you are doing.

Personally, i would trust GM over most of the work you will see from other people.

Dude I told you to give me your address and that it would cost $20 to ship. You have done nothing so STFU.

Well obviously I didn't remember that. I forgot it took you a couple months to get back with me on that. Oh well, I think ill use my best judgement and pass on your offer. Id rather just not deal with you anymore.
