If you have an oil level switch in the pan, check out the oil level switch for a C6 Corvette, as it includes a temp sensor AIUI.crzyone wrote:If you have room, use one of these for your temp and oil pressure. Just make sure to get one that is the proper size for your engine. I'm just using this one as an example.

Re: progress on the banshee...
I'd have to got the sandwich route or drill a hole in the pan. I have a remote oil filter, that uses a ford style filter, so I'm sure I can find one between that and the stock block flange. my pan does not have a level sensor.

Re: progress on the banshee...
not much of an update, but I got a good deal on a set of Konis for the front. probably gonna get a set for the back as well here soon, but believe it or not, it's kinda low on the priority list...

Re: progress on the banshee...
you have torn orings? So how did you discover this with them in the fuel rail and tightened down? Vacuum leak? if so, that means you fired it up right?

Re: progress on the banshee...
the rail side not the intake side. on fuel pump prime it sprayed fuel. I was quite surprised by it as I didn't notice it upon re-assembly of the rail/injectors.

Re: progress on the banshee...
today was a busy day, replaced the O-rings, put everything back together, gave it a shot, noth'n, checked the anti-theft settings in the computer, whoops... fixed that, and still nothing. so I hooked up the scan tool to see what the computer was seeing, and low and behold, the computer isn't getting a 7x signal from the ICM... took the ICM to the parts store, they tested it, dead on all tests! picked up a new one, turn the key for about 5 seconds, nothing, turn it again, and as I was releasing the key, it burped, and then, tried it one more time, and.... IT LIVES! it's in desperate need of a tune though, doesn't idle at all. needless to say, it made this whole weekend fuck'n awesome!
Edit:
No video as of right now, I'll get one soon though.

Re: progress on the banshee...
Nice!
Remind us what you've done to the engine to make the tune so far off it won't idle?
And yours is an LX9, right?

Re: progress on the banshee...
it's an LX9, but I'm running a 3100 PCM and programming. The engine is a full build, crank, rods, pistons, heads, cam, intake, exhaust ect. I expect it'll be a bit of a challenge to dial in, but it'll be worth it for sure.The Dark Side of Will wrote:Nice!

cam is a .573" lift, 224 degrees @ .050 intake, .565" lift, 214 degrees @.050 exhaust.
heads, stock is column 1-2, port job is 3-4

Re: progress on the banshee...
quick glance at my last log (all of 15 seconds...) shows it's running really rich, 10-11:1 upon further investigation, my fuel injector flow rate was wrong in my tune, it was off by about +15 msec/gram, I doubt that will get me exactly where I need to be, but it's one step closer. I might reflash it on my way home from work and try again(car isn't at my house...) hopefully with that and a few other tweeks I can make it happier.

Heh... I was thinking that something would have to be pretty darned far off for a MAF based tune not to be able to start and idle. It's not like a speed density system in which low idle vacuum screws up the load calculation...ericjon262 wrote:quick glance at my last log (all of 15 seconds...) shows it's running really rich, 10-11:1 upon further investigation, my fuel injector flow rate was wrong in my tune, it was off by about +15 msec/gram, I doubt that will get me exactly where I need to be, but it's one step closer.

Re: progress on the banshee...
Thanks!
I found a spec sheet for my injectors, thought I'd share.
http://www.usa.vdo.com/generator/www/us ... rect=false
I'm going to email them and see if they have written specs instead of graphical.

Re: progress on the banshee...
I figured out earlier why I was having so much trouble with idle too...
Note: No IAC passage...
well, the LS1 TB I'm running was made to bolt to an intake with the passage cut into it... guess who forgot to cut the passage into the TB... DOH!
so, I cut a passage into the back of the TB, problem solved.
IIRC, N*'s, which use a similar TB, have the passage made into the TB, like how I have modified mine.

went for a test drive today... felt real good. haven't gone past 25% throttle yet, still feels awesome though.
