OK, you got me on that one. I guess whenever I looked, it was 37psi. I never did the blip the throttle test though.

Can I interpret your response to mean the phenomena that I'm seeing is normal?

Thanks,

Hey everyone, I need a little help on what looks to be a fuel pressure problem. I have Megasquirt, but I'm thinking this is either a fuel pump or pressure regulator issue. I have a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel line before the fuel flows to the fuel rail. I seem to recall it's always read around 3...

024s?!? I was on 024g. Man was I sleeping at the wheel! I don't know what it's worth Peter, but you can find my latest msq file here:

Were you looking for an msq file?

Good luck.

I happened to see this thread yesterday when I was having trouble bleeding my clutch. I was using a pressure bleeder, with the bleed screw at the 12 o'clock position, and the clutch pedal still wasn't right. So I tried something different. I pushed the clutch pedal all the way to the floor and held ...

Hey everyone, I just got the feeling that I wasn't getting everything from my 3.0 when I press the pedal to the floor. So I checked out the throttle plate with the gas pedal all the way down - the throttle only comes two-thirds of the way down from the top (from the side this would look like 10:30 o...

Hey Everyone, as a follow-up to my earlier post, Jim at Whoa Brakes (www.whoabrakes.com) is thinking about making a front brake upgrade kit for our Alfa V6's. I've volunteered to do some testing for him and check out what arrived at my front door: http://bmacfarl.fastmail.fm/photo%20class/WHOA.jpg J...

Hey that looks pretty cool. What's a surge tank - is this something for turbo applications? Or is it something you have to have when you use individual TB's?

Got any pictures of your TB to head adapters?

Thanks,

Hey everyone, I think I may have found somebody who can put together a front brake kit for us - let me know what you think. It's the guy who puts together the Whoa brake upgrade kit for Fiat Spiders (www.whoabrakes.com) - I guess he has kits for MG's as well. A guy in the local Fiat club, Carl Fried...

Greg, you anticipated where I was going with that. On a 3.0 I figured 10 psi would deliver about 300HP (dunno about the torque). 300HP appears to be the breaking point of the transaxle, and unless I plan to glue a big magnet to my rear bumper to pick up all the broken transaxle pieces, I figured I n...

Greg, I looked at a Google-cached version of your old website and have a few questions. - What boost levels are you generating with the MT62 and the MT90? I've got a Milano 3.0 and want a good boost in torque, I just don't want my transaxle to explode. This is a street car with an occasional driving...

Does anybody have a good method or know of a tool for properly removing these dang bosch connectors (fuel injectors, cold startup valve, temp sensors, aux valve)? Either they are impossible to remove, or I break the connectors. Somebody has to know how to remove these things properly. Thanks, Bill i...

Hey Zambon and Al, thanks for posting some options for throttle position sensors. I had been pulling my hair out for months trying to find an alternative. Zambon, for those off-the-shelf Bosch TPS's, do they require machine the throttle shaft to be a little shorter? If not, I'll probably go with the...

Hey thanks for those suggestions. I checked out the Innovate Motorsports WB sensor (will check out the other one in a bit). So it looks like you use the analog output of the sensor as an input to MS. Then you just tune like you do for an NB sensor? Thanks for the suggestions - nice to know there are...

Hey who has installed a wide band O2 sensor for use with Megasquirt? What's the best sensor to buy, and what hardware is required? I assume that WB makes tuning a little more precise?

Thanks for the help,

Hey everyone, this topic came up a while ago, but I'm looking for a few more details. I've heard that the Volvo 850 tps (sensor, not switch) will fit our V6 throttle bodies. Does anybody have a specific part number? I bought what I thought was the Volvo 850 tps, but it turned out to be a switch and ...
