first nobody makes a relay worth a shit anymore. just another reason to go solid state but thats a topic for a different discussion. OP mentioned there is a sender in the water pump, I will bet that is for a gauge and not the ECU temp sender which is typically in the head on LS motors. The ECU...

get the Hella relays with 1/4" terminals. the same relays with the smaller terminals have a habit of melting the terminals, even when well below the rated load.

i have a mefi 4 with harness. PM if interested.

fuel pressure is solid......lmao........with the car sitting static and a full tank. now run it down to half a tank, first pass through the whopps.....you have a stew of air and fuel going through your system.

i would vote NO WAY on carbs. but i get it to a certain extent.....they are easier to setup. but the tunability isnt there. wouldnt run any better than your 4 knob setup. the tough part about efi on an ACVW is there is SOME bolt on parts for doing this. Specifically, ditch the distributor and...

yep as stated that system is a JOKE. sure having fuel and timing correct will help the turbo "do its thing". you will NEVER get there with that 4 knob system. not trying to talk you out of changing motors. but going from air cooled to water cooled is no easy task. hence the reason i suggest...

before changing motors, DEFINITELY get rid of the old CB system. total DINOSAUR with no real tuneability. as for building boost....the ECU cant help much with that. its entirely mechanical. so either your turbo is an ancient piece to, or its worn out, or you have leaks in your system or the...

classic sign of overcharging. and this is the problem with these dry cell AGM type batteries, they were never designed to be used with high output automotive charging systems. sure there are all these claims from battery manufacturers about these new small, lightweight wiz-bang batteries and...

colder will make the problem worse. this is assuming there isn't an underlying problem, overly rich mixture, weak ignition system, excessive blow by (worn out engine).....stuff like that and the plugs fouling are just a symptom of a greater issue.

thats a very good price, assuming its not the cheap TXL wire covered in raychem. If is tefzel m22759, dr25, and OEM connectors buy as many as you can. i build harnesses for Motec systems, try and stay away from Holley as much as possible.

yes. but not the chineesium knock off you linked to. get the genuine Radlock ones......work very well.

you can daisy chain Livorsi gauges. the DT series connector they use is great, just de-pin them and use 22ga wires. The DT series pins/sockets will accept up to 4 22ga wires. each of those gauges only draws like 300ma of current.......so a single 22ga wire would support upwards of 15 gauges

My shop is in Vegas (boulder City) and while i mainly work with Motec i can help him out on this. Desert Performance 702-513-8837

if you are rewiring the car......just put a PDM in and be done with it. your fan control strategy is just one reason why. first of all, no 70's technology cheesy external relays or fusing needed. then the control parameters you are looking for can be easily implemented, fans will not run if the...

the clutch is just relieving torque from being applied through the trans, easing a shift. its not like the parts stop turning. I recently setup a car with flat shift, via a strain gauge on the shift linkage and combination of DBW throttle control and ignition cut....achieving much the same...
