Just put nitrous on the K8....

Actually, if you're serious about having some fun, I think I may have a cold start injector from long ago if I can find it... it was attached to a stainless braided line to a common fitting for a fuel line on a Swift.

What are their timing 'reccomendations'?

Yea I was thinking about the cold start injectors, Gus Mahon style, I just found out he's dead, and died a while ago, while I was talking to a dodge nut with a pretty nice turbo shadow. Apparently it was a motor cycle accident, and Cam waugh bit it pretty good to in regina on a minibike awhile back, they thought he was braindead for a while there, but he's back at it again. I know I would kill myself if i got a bike, so I stick to cars.

Anyways ya if you could donate/loan/sell me the injector that'd be great, I just got the car off the stands I'm going to put the o2 sensor right after the y-pipe/cat flange.

Regarding the stock pump, I'm not sure I will keep it or not I doubt it's any good past 200whp, things will probably get pretty lean around the #6 cylinder if I keep it, and if that thing even hiccups when spraying....bang!

I went out to race city on april 22nd with the SRT-4 and ran a 14.3 completely stock, the best time I've heard of/seen is 14.1 with decently done up SRT-4, I even beat a stage 1 there my first race

A friend of mine was talking about a bunch of SRT4s that showed up at the track one day, I was wondering if you had went down.

I'll try to look for that injector today, I rough idea of where it should be in the mess of the garage.

Yea I was there on the 22nd racing and there was a bunch 6 maybe. hopefully late aftenoon today I can get a start on the wideband install. As far as timing goes I should be retarding it 4 degrees for 75hp. IF I get a bigger jet I'll probably go -6 for a 125. The tricky part is making the timing stick.

Hell yeah, sounds like some good stuff. Keep that thing really rich and like another said, hit it at high rpm's never low.

I have safely doubled the HP on my KL (over 300 at the crank) with absolutely no problems. Been beating on it for like 12k miles. I do run 11:1 AFR though. I run 3 cold start injectors and an FMU.

I think a dual stage 75 then 175 can be safely coaxed out of a K series V6. My turbo is the equivalent to like a 175 shot n20 or more, and my KL takes it great.

11:1 is super rich, but If i recall correctly your non-intercooled? Have you done anything for timing?

I got the o2 bung welded in and plugged for now, but now I'm out of nitrous dammit. I need a gauge pod or something for the A/F gauge....

I havent done anything for timing. I am non intercooled, but I run water injection. It helps great with running aggressive timing and boost on pump gas and it cools the charge temps tremendously. But yeah, 11:1. Better safe than sorry. I learned that the hard way.

Ok I just finished installing the Wideband Commander. Everything seems to be working, I haven't gotten all the analog inputs hooked up yet. At startup it's a little lean it seems, = 15.5ish and then once warm it's right at 14.7, on deceleration in gear its super lean, like 18. And when I punch it, it goes to about 11.5 Do these AFR seem normal to you guys? I think they're ok

The only reason why I ask, is that I have a few codes coming up, and today on my way home before the install, I got a CEL. and it keeps coming on, I checked my codes and it looks like the usual suspects:

02 'NE2' crankshaft position sensor
10 Intake air temperature sensor
08 Volume Air Flow sensor (VAF)

I'm going to bench test my VAF and see if it's running properly..... could just be a faulty ground or corroded terminals.

most imports run fuel cut on decelleration - no fuel injected. The max lean reading is 18:1 on the dynojet or it would actually read leaner than that.
