My $59 problems/tuning a turbo camaro

[droptopstng]

When I really looked at the filter and it seemed like the old filter came out of the little orange gromet that was suppose to seal it?? The new one sat in alot farther then the old one was. I got the converter in this morning after work. NO MORE rattling!!!

THERE IS YOUR NOISE lol
Thanks for helping out on the tranny stuff!

Just happy I could return some of the help to this forum I have recieved

Tommorow im going.. Its a different track then I always go to but its "suppose" to be nice. So im making the road trip a hour away to get a time slip!! Sometime mothernature just doesnt like me.

You may hear it all the way from where I live if I can't break into the 14's....

Why would knock counts skip from say... 2 to 202 in one row of datalogg?? Thats 200 counts in a tenth of a second?? But yet the plugs are fine and it only took out less then a degree of timing for just a few rows in the log on that occation. Seems like on $59 the counts jup alot insted of just 1 or 2 or 3 at a time.

Ive been told to look at KR and not the knock counts itself for tuning $59 but its just disturbing the amount of counts.

[gregs78cam]

Knock counts is showing the number of milliseconds it is detecting knock.

Yea I found out that the knock count on $59 is (64 counts per millisecond)

I took it down the road again and only KR was when i did a burn out..opps. Also I relized that my plugs were all gapped to about .020 I forgot that I changed the plugs a bit ago with plugs I had when I was looking for KR and gapped them super tight, which was a dumb thing. But I gapped them back at .032 and we are good to go. Im leaving now so I hope I can make at least one clean pass.

Made 3 passes this afternoon, and spun everytime from the line but got a 14.37@97mph as a best for the day and I also had a passenger to watch the KR for me. Car is fast and im loving the attention im getting from other racers. Once I get the video uploaded on youtube ill link it on here for you guys to see.

almost 13s. :)

also, if i had to guess, i'd say that code59 uses the double value knock counter? i've only had issues like that when i put both MSB and LSB in the stream.

[fasteddi]

Yup almost 13's. I think that with the slicks on and no passenger I may get into the 13's faster then I though.


Heres one video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeuz8Im_vlg This was the best pass I love beating on Gt/a's


60ft was 2.20 sec
1/8 mile was a 9.30@74.9mph
1/4 mile was 14.37@97.27Mph

[RobertISaar]

even off the line the GTA couldn't overtake you. that's awesome. the 60' does seem a bit weak for the ET, so yeah, you get some actual traction and i see this working well.

[JeepsAndGuns]

If that white car was a V8, then I give you a big

[fasteddi]

Yea the white car(gt/a) had a tpi 350. I loved ever second of that, beating a V8!!. Heres a time slip for that pass. Im really happy with all the work I did to the car right now. But slicks need mounted asap.
