I don’t do this often. I can’t find any reference to this phrase on Google, so I might as well publish it here. Not like I’m going to make any money off it. Along the lines of “make like a tree and leave…..”
Tee hee. Just did the complete install. Super easy – Nissan left all the wiring right there for you, and parts are super easy to access.
Install Details Here: Hideous Air While I like to believe that “Friends don’t let Friends take Arts,” I occasionally have artsie moments. Don’t worry, it will pass.
Build details here: GotTrikes Tubing Bender
Plans from www.gottrikes.com. Die from www.pro-tools.com, purchased through www.tmrcustoms.com. Air/Hydraulic ram from www.northerntools.com. Found a set of micrometers on eBay out of the States. Asked for shipping to Canada. Here’s the reply:
Wow. And they ship “worldwide.” You may recall I’ve been MegaSquirting the Lethal Locost. I noticed that when I drive in the early mornings before it gets hot out, the engine datalogs want a richer mixture. And when I drive in the hot afternoon, the engine datalogs want leaner. Problem is, once I burn a leaner map, the engine is too lean the next morning. I’m thinking one problem might be Intake Air Temperature correction. I found a setting in MegaSquirt (using Tuner Studio) that allows me to scale some correction to the IAT sensor and subsequent fuel calculation. Instead of the default linear approach, I’m trying a bit of a slope as suggested by numerous threads on the www.msefi.com Forums:
This should add fuel (or rather, take away less fuel) as the engine runs hot, and vice versa. Cold start has always been a bit iffy as well – never quite enough fuel it seems…. We’ll see how it turns out. Also discovered that the PCMCIA Serial adapter I bought is a piece of festering poo – lots of comm interrupts. Oh well. Back to the USB/Serial adapter…. EDIT: Turned out REALLY well. Tweaking the IAT correction was a significant improvement. Be where you need to be when you need to be there for what you need to be there for, and there you’ll be.
Randal Graves: [talking about the second Death Star] A construction job of that magnitude would require a helluva lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I’ll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing: plumbers, aluminum siders, roofers. Dante Hicks: Not just Imperials, is what you’re getting at… Randal Graves: Exactly. In order to get it built quickly and quietly they’d hire anybody who could do the job. Do you think the average storm trooper knows how to install a toilet main? All they know is killing and white uniforms. Dante Hicks: All right, so even if independent contractors are working on the Death Star, why are you uneasy with its destruction? Randal Graves: All those innocent contractors hired to do a job were killed – casualties of a war they had nothing to do with. [notices Dante's confusion] Randal Graves: All right, look-you’re a roofer, and some juicy government contract comes your way; you got the wife and kids and the two-story in suburbia – this is a government contract, which means all sorts of benefits. All of a sudden these left-wing militants blast you with lasers and wipe out everyone within a three-mile radius. You didn’t ask for that. You have no personal politics. You’re just trying to scrape out a living. (stolen from somewhere on the web)
