Long time, no update. The clutch blew in June of 2009, and an associate offered to put the new one in. Of course, he lost all the bolts, lost the old clutch parts, lost the transmission crossmember, dented the tailgate, broke the taillights, ruined two tires, and stole the antenna. Now the good news...

It's been a while since the last update, and I just got started working on the truck again after a long winter break. I completely rebuilt the homemade turbo manifold with heavier flanges. I also rotated the exhaust housing 180 degrees so it's not such a pain to hook everything up. The manifold now ...

I've been driving around tuning the truck on low levels of boost (6 psi or less) and it's been running great. The Innovate wideband sensor is the best thing you can ever do for a MegaSquirt installation, it makes tuning a LOT easier and more accurate even on NA engines. I would advise anyone who can...

FIRST START WITH TURBO ATTACHED :yeah!: I just started the engine with the turbo connected for the first time about half an hour ago! No boost yet, since I'm just testing things right now. I've got the wastegate locked open. It's amazing how many leaks in a 12 gauge fabricated steel manifold stand ...

I'm about half way done with the turbo manifold fabrication, for some pictures of my horrendous machining and welding skills, try http://www.benslagle.com/turbo.html to see the latest updates. Lots of bad pictures. This is just a test setup, more of a proof of concept than anything else, just to see...

Long time no see... figured I'd post an update. I gave up on the supercharger idea, way too much in the fabrication department. I have acquired a fully operational Mitsubishi TE04H turbo in good condition and will be installing it. I picked up an Innovate LC-1 wideband sensor with controller. I'm in...

I found a great pictorial guide to installing new rotor bearings/seals in the Eaton M90. It's http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52563&highlight=supercharger+rebuild+instructions . It's for the Thunderbird Super Coupe blowers, but it's applicable to the GM version as well. Napa Auto Pa...

I finally picked up an Eaton M90 supercharger off a Buick 3800 (L67) engine, courtesy of Cleveland Auto Wrecking . I'm going to adapt it to my intake either by casting an adapter or welding up a sheet metal intake. It needs bearings, but the rotors look OK and it still spins. No snout, though, I may...

I've run a few tanks of E85 (~85% gasoline, ~15% ethanol depending upon season) and have met with a great deal of success. I've tried both scaling the entire VE table up and adjusting req_fuel, and both ways, it runs great except for a slight hesitation just under 2000 RPM. I'm sure, though, that it...

Just hit the 159,000 mile mark this afternoon, that's 33,000 on the MegaSquirt from DIYAutoTune.com. Not too much else going on, I finally replaced the awful TFI system with a GM 4-pin HEI system and an older Ford Ranger TFI coil. This arrangement actually caught the stock Mitsubishi plug wires on f...
