Zilla cosmetics with a couple mods......
 
14 Attachment(s)
Finished up installation and calibration of the Cyberdyne Boost/vac gauge and MAP sensor, and the wideband O2 install/calibration in the new 'knee pod'.

This is a GP Hud Pod modified with a little fiberglass magic to fit the location.

First up for your whorage viewing, is a little traction problem. There's no such thing as 'nudging the throttle' on the Zilla any more. Ramp modifications are planned to prevent this in the future:

Wideband O2 sensor install (MAP sensor not pictured, the other thingy is the exhaust cutout control harness thingy):

Helooooooo, beastie:

Pardon the mess, it's cleaned up now, and the Zilla is the commuter car for the rest of the week.


Ready, waiting, and willing:

Onto the primer and glamour (pay close attention to the reflections):

On a techincal point.......the good news is NOT that I'm running lean. The good news is that I'm running lean on a LINEAR scale. Not overly rich at the bottom end and lean on the top like I thought, but evenly lean across the board. Sounds like an easy tune with bigger injectors. ;)

LOL at the "no more nudging of the throttle"

I bet Lil Pooky must have said "Come up a bit more... TOO MUCH TOO MUCH TOO MUCH!"

Looking great and the pod ls pretty good.

:shock: You're going to have a hard time keeping your eyes on the road with all those numbers to look at. :lol:

Completing your mods just in time for the Meet. 8)

How lean are you running :?:

willwren 07-10-2007 12:13 AM

Running 5-10% lean across the board. Tomorrow's commute will tell me more. Final mod to come, it should solve my problem.

Can you not simply raise your fuel pressure if its linear :?:

willwren 07-10-2007 12:21 AM

I'm already there, Paul. ;)

Ported heads, LIM, and supercharger, added to the 1.8 rockers and good exhaust? I'm outflowing the capacity of my stock injectors with a 4bar fuel pressure.

Are you planning on running flow matched series 2 L67 injectors? ;)

I'm also curious what is planned injector wise....I'm guessing modifying the fuel rail mounting is going to be necessary?

willwren 07-10-2007 08:20 AM

No modifications necessary, and no, I'm not looking at 36lb injectors. That would be horrific overkill, and I'd have to back my fuel pressure way down.

I can go with a smaller injector than 36 at 3bar, and still adjust them over 36 at 4bar. ;)

There is a misconception in the 'tuning' world that bigger injectors are always better for power and seem to be some sort of bragging right. I'm going with the injector size I need, with a little wiggle room, and room to adjust with my FPR. No more. It took a LONG time to outgrow my stockers.

Wow that must be one fast modded bonneville.
