Ray has the map we did for my car, 2 or 3 different ones.

I've been trying to get with him to fine tune this thing for a week, hopefully it'll be done soon.

 

I'm so excited to get this... I'd already have it if I didnt have a damn daily driver.

Maybe by the time I get this one of the boosted guys could send me a map they made for me to go off of.

So where is the final place that you decided to get the vacuum from? it seems like it would be a PITA to run a vacuum line to inside the car

 

Actually, it wasn't hard at all, We just drilled a hole through near the brake booster and I used a T tap to tap a line off of the IM.

You CAN do it without any holes through the firewall, as Bill said earlier.

You have to tap the black vacuum line that comes in for the HVAC system, and remove the check valve on the outside. The ONLY drawback to doing this is you will lose your vacuum tank in the engine bay without the check valve, and at higher rpm's or prolonged switching of your HVAC controls, you may lose vacuum to the system, causing it to not respond to your selected settings.

 

I'm planning on just tapping into my nylon gauge line thats runs through the fender well.

I have been contemplating replacing that line with rubber and breaking it out with a vacuum manifold for both inside the car.

 

The vacuum line is no big deal at all. Just run it through the firewall somewhere. Chances are for the turbo guys you have a boost gauge that has a line running in anyway. From what Ray told me on build time I should only have a week to wait yet. I hope...

 

I should be sending in my ECU's and payment soon. I've been messing around with a friend's Megasquirt and it's pretty simple to tune.

 

Mega Squirt update.

Since we started with REDZ ecu and a couple of Kia units, we have had several units go out as well as Ray's son has been ill and he has been out of commission. He arrived back in town yesterday and so the tuning has begun. Ray has also supplied me shipping numbers on a couple of units, so we should have more results to talk about within the week.

Jeremy has been using his for over 3 weeks now with great results, there is some fine tuning left to fix the first cold start of the day. It is a little short on fuel and takes a couple of seconds long on the crank, but I know we will correct that right away. An interesting note. on Jeremy's car. There is a gtech type function that is pretty accurate. With pretty much bolt ons, including cams, headers, intake manifold, bbtb and a Cold air intake along with the megasquirt. Jeremy's car was showing around 150 hp at the wheels based on acceleration, tire size and several other variables that I am still learning about. This is all at 6000 feet in elevation, so.... I can't wait to get the dyno results and then test a similar unit down out of the clouds where the rest of us live.

We have shipped two units this week with tracking numbers. I am making sure all that we do has tracking so that we can monitor the delivery.

Eric should be next and hopefully have it out Wednesday with Jon's later in the week.

Ray is putting together a small circuit board to control air condition, cruise control, etc. this will allow us to maintain everything in the stock case as we have shown allready.

An interesting note, the Kia and Spectras from the same year as the Tiburon and Elantras are running the same ecus with plugs, I had 4 of these things sitting around, so we are pretty much ready to go with whoever wants them.

I guess that is it for now, hopefully we will get Jeremy's completely finished this week. He will let us know on the tune and when he can dyno it.

cool, getting it in the stock case isn't necessary but will be a cool feature and make it super easy to mount. (well easier than trying to drill holes to mount it!)

thanks for doing all the work on this. Can't wait to see the end results!

 

Nice!

So what you were saying about the a/c and c.c., is that they are already added to all the ecu's that went out? Or is he still working on that?
Is it working on Redz car? Does the idle motor step up when the a/c turns on?


Redz?

 

I do not have the AC thing in my car, yet, we wanted to get the full thing working first, he's going to be updating mine shortly, along with the constant barometric correction as I wanted.

Since the AC circuit/relay isn't on my car, I can't comment on it.

Cruise, i also can't comment on, as my cruise cable won't stay in the throttle rotor, I will be modifying it shortly, and should be able to tell you soon, cruise should work, as Ray told me before, it's not an ECU based function.

I'll let you know more soon.

He had told me about this before, but I didn't know he could just run the HP stuff with the logs later. 150 HP sounds about right, as my car pulls like a b**** now, it's hard to keep from just staying on it all the time.


OH, ONE GOOD SIDE NOTE!

My first 2 full tanks of gas, with me driving REALLY hard, have gone up 20 miles to the tank.

He had told me all of the units going out would have the AC relay stuff in them, hopefully he put it in the ones sent out, I'd assume he did.

With Ray's help, we can do the dyno really easily, with the swap out.

It'll be in the stock case, as Ray said he can put the cable plug and vacuum line wherever we want.
