this is a GREAT forum, very knowledgeable and very polite. MY problem is i am going new ECU and they are just not part of the way people on this forum spiff up their cars.

I can probably do what...

the length, the length - well they should be 42 inches, but i'll probably have to decrease that to 21 inches - the picture - is in my head, but as soon as i get past the motor mount, i'ma gonna start...

thanks denny - I'll read through it. the more you read and talk about this stufff the more the parts make sense.

Have to stop reading soon, in a coupla weeks, i will have the motor mount done, the...

the fun thing is - i actually understand what you are saying. most sensors, most not all, just use a 0 to 5 volt output and the amount of voltage is just converted to what that sensor is reading,...

i think that ford and the other companies only use narrow band stochiometric, 14.7, ox sensors because the only thing they worry about is pollution and that is all the narrow band ox sensors are good...

i believe all wide band ox sensors are heated. good to know that ford uses multiple ones, now i need an off the shelf ECU that i can completely program that can use 2

i will use the info from the...

denny - no sorry needed - you and i are just learning where each is comin from - an engine is an engine, but these are different parameters and i really enjoy the conversation. i have been...

carb ice = major problem for carburated airplane engines - you will never see me with a carb on a plane i build - have never heard of a problem with ice on an injected system.

my projected temps...

Motec is a great unit, but really pricey. This option, a small and a large injector is GREAT for a 1,000 hp race car, where the fuel flow change is so drastic that the large bore, is that the right...

good thinkin denny - but i'm goin individual runner injection at each cylinder. it is very important for me to be able to tweak the air fuel ratio at each cylinder to level out the egt's so i can...

Actually - as you go up the pressure decreases. in a normally aspirated engine, you simply lean the mixture as you go up to stop the engine from running too rich and fouling the plugs.

in my...

I have looked at a variety of ECU's and the excel gen 7 will do the trimming. i did not want to post what i have seen - am not trying to have a decision verified - am trying to go out of the box.

Yes my "hot rod" is a little different. but what i have learned over the last couple o years is "an engine is an engine" and all piston engines are the same.

that said, a redrive,mmmmm, no i'll...

heh heh heh - yes it is going to fly, my goal is 300 mph TAS at 25000 feet. the FAA inspection is a non event and it will pass, my inspection will be much tougher.

I was have a DAR inspect and...

no cert needed - i'm in the experimental world - it just has to pass my test.

no backup - i'll have backup and no parachute. the available ECU's are very reliable and i will have a complete...

I'm working on an engine in uncharted territory, to my knowledge - no one has done it before. I need help

the engine is a 210 hp horizontal opposing turbo fuel injected air cooled engine.
