Sources say it looks like it is going down the road on an RTI ramp 24/7...

You would think so, but it's actually very solid and stable at speed.

Have you seen the frame under this thing? I have a hard time believing this thing wouldn't kill it on an autocross track. The braces have braces. No wiggles, all giggles :lol:

Thanks for the compliments.

Lets make one thing clear before we go any further....all of the "self tuning" ECUs out there are not anywhere close to self tuning. All they do is use wideband O2 feedback to bring the fuel or VE table in line. You still need to know how and why to manipulate the timing table, start-up fueling, acceleration enrichment, etc.

That said, yes, the Holley will "learn" the fueling requirements in boost, and automatically stores that. It also uses a real-time closed loop fueling that can and has saved several engines when voltage drops, fuel pumps start to die, etc by cranking up the injector pulse to meet the desired AFR.

Man that is pretty quite. I was expecting it to be louder. My 5.3 with a 70 on it was twice as loud. Might have to reconsider putting mufflers on mine now!

A 70 what? MM turbo, or 70 series flowmaster?

It gets a LOT more rowdy when the wastegate opens (dumped to atmosphere) but it's like that with the "full exhaust" I had on it too.

Got tiggy with it and fabbed up the charge pipe last night also. Dual 10 gph nozzles with progressive control thru the Megasquirt will keep the intake air nice and cool, even without an intercooler.

Been bouncing around to different tasks on the truck, to stay moving forward.

Hung the passenger side fender on, and put the inner fender in to determine turbo location.

Fabbed up a bracket to hang the turbo off the cylinder head and the PS exhaust manifold.

My brother finished up the complete transmission and engine harness, as well as the fuse block. Talk about a clean setup...but it should be, since he designs wiring harnesses for a living.

Big, strong magnets. Easy to remove with no tools to change fuses, etc.

It's the other way. Megasquirt to Dominator. It's because the megasquirt always ran like **** on my setup for some reason.

Some updates. Haven't done a whole lot to the truck but play with it. The warm winter weather lately has allowed me to go out and put some miles on it.

Had it to the dyno again last fall at my bud's shop. Made a lil more power again. Lol. Got the high power number for the day.

I also upgraded to the new Holley touch screen from the older version. Fabricated a new dash panel out of aluminum to house it as well.
