Oil pan swapped- check LC1 finally working- check She is officially back up and running, just waiting on the 1050cc injectors I got from keith- and then the tuning will begin! The LC1 has to be calibrated if you don't have a gauge fyi. I also found out that the 12v source I was using didn't supply enough voltage so that was why the reading was messed up. The exhaust isn't any louder then an open downpipe, I was a little surprised. I can't wait to get this thing tuned and to the track! |

I got the 1050cc injectors in today and installed them. Tomorrow I will start tuning after work but I got all the new setting put into ecmlink. |

O how I have missed this car... It's loud, stiff, hard to turn, fugly and full of vibrations and makes me smile every time I hit the gas. First tuning session is complete with the new setup. I didn't have to change hardly anything after my initial ecmlink setup so that was pretty cool. I only ran 17psi wg pressure to make sure everything was good to go but my 60-80 time was 1.9 seconds. Basic overview of the tune- 93 pump, 15* peak timing, 10.5-11.0:1 AFR @ 17psi. My boostest and map sensors were almost spot on at 5500 rpm so my ve table looks like it's pretty inline. If anyone knows how to post a log on here I'll post it up. I'm always open to suggestions on improving it. |

I've put about 250 miles on the mirage now. My first tune had a pretty big boost leak at the fuel injector seals, the ones that came with them weren't the correct ones and didn't seal. I also did a lot of tweaking to the VE, timing and octane tables. First and only trip to the 1/8th so far netted me a 8.0 @ 94mph. I was killed off for not having a helmet so that was my only run. I bogged the launch, and had a pretty crappy tune but it's a good start. I picked up 8 mph from the 14b in just the 1/8th, I'm hoping I'll pick up around 20-25mph in the 1/4 once boost gets around 30psi. On a side note my tune now at 21-22psi nets me a 70-90 time of around 1.65. |

Wow, it's been over two years sense I've updated this thing... A lot has changed, new career, a one year old and super busy schedule. Not much going on with the mirage at the moment, the motor has been taken apart and a cracked piston was found. So the car is sitting half apart. While it's apart, I will be doing a lot of changes. I've sourced a wiesco/eagle 6 bolt, upgraded head with HKS 264s and an auto setup. Turbo will be a HX35 in BEP housing with an tial 38mm off the o2 housing. I got a great deal on an old school Buschur race FMIC. I'll be using the stock TCU with a switch to use a Roadsurge shift box and Evo X paddle shifters. I'm planning on doing he usual upgrades to the auto trans and having the stock converter restalled. I've spent a probably 20+ hours working on the auto wiring harness. I cleaned it up, removed all unnecessary wiring and shorted pretty much every wire as well as hard wired SD stuff in. It looks tons better now. On top of going auto, I will be replacing the dsm knuckles with expo knuckles to correct the bump steer issues. The rear suspension will be adjusted for the angle of the rear struts. Radiator will be replaced with an aluminium unit and some ducting will be made for the FMIC and radiator. Brake master and booster will also be upgraded to larger units to match the dual piston calipers up front. I'm still debating on completely ditching the stock gauge cluster and using all aftermarket gauges. I'm trying to figure out a good solution to cleanly install the gauges where they are easily visible. Tires are Yokohama all-seasons that are a bit taller than stock to help with the top end with the auto. From what I read all-season should be a better choice for drag/straight line traction and that's what this car will be made to do. Goals are to be in the mid to high 10s without having to worry about much breaking. With the weight and power, this should be very attainable. This is at least another year away unfortunately but such is life. |

For the gauges solution, go megasquirt with a blue tooth adapter then velcro a 7"to 10" tablet right over the stock gauge locations plastic viewing area. All the gauges you would ever want with pinpoint accuracy and the ability to add/change/swap back and forth/change sizes etc..... kind of a joking since it probably isnt your direction but seriously that would be sick, adjustable backlighting and everything while still being completely removable. Good luck however you go about it |

I'll be removing my factory auto tach'd cluster over winter if you are interested in going that route too. |

I don't think using an auto over a manual cluster would make much difference. The only thing I use it for now is speedo and gas gauge and the speedo will be off now so I guess common sense would say just build a gauge panel and use all aftermarket. I already have a shift light/digital tach gauge, coolant temp, oil pressure, boost so I will need to get a trans temp gauge and possibly a speedo or just use a gps for speed.

Well she is alive. Fired up and ran surprisingly well. Honestly I'm surprised it ran at all cause after I checked the log, I saw it lost all of the setting I thought I had saved earlier so it was running blindly with no sensor inputs for SD or my wideband. But oil pressure looked good, it sounds great, no weird noises, etc. All in all, not too bad. I'll get everything figured out and then check the transmission and hope nothing is screwed up there. lol |
