Who ever suggested that I put the tach on the injector trigger is a smart guy.  It works great even with my RMI engine monitor.  I ran it up today all the way to 32”MAP and it sure sounded good.  That was giving me about 5000 RPM static.  Still had a couple of inches of throttle left.

 

I was able to use a syringe to draw down the MAP as low as I wanted ( <7” ) but it didn’t seem to affect the ability to run at less than about 15” MAP.  I guess the transition setting didn’t take because the engine was not running.  But it just doesn’t make sense that the EC2 needs to have the CAS turning before it will accept input.  Tracy, can you verify that the engine needs to be running in order to change the transition MAP?  Are there limits to where it can be set?

 

No smoke coming out of the tail pipe today.  Will follow that issue.

 

Couldn’t taxi to the restaurant because the Comm won’t transmit.

 

Nothing fancy with my turbo set up straight stock including the waste gate controller and lower part of intake manifold.  (see pic)

 

Yes, it would be crazy to try to do this without the O2 sensor.  I do have one.
