found a better diagram, seems to vary from your own info above but as long as it works for your situation that's all that matters

No, factory fuel tank with an AiM Pista MXL dash display, requires converting from ohms to a 0 - 5 Volt signal in order to display the level in actual gallon capacity remaining detail as described below:

Empty tank, set zero point, add 1 gallon and set point this, add 2nd gallon and so on until full. No more generic dummy gauge.

I was Taking on 400&500whp mustangs all weekend. supposedly the Acura RSX I raced (and Beat) had 505whp ......so whats that tell ya. Anyways I have some footage! would anyone like to seeee? problem is I have slow internet for uploads..............


Glad you had fun, otherwise it could easily tell us any number of things the complete opposite of what you are concluding.

Impressive build! Would love to know what you did to the ac lines.. Are the just wrapped in heat insulation?

maybe said driver isn't pushing hard, or can't drive any better, or maybe has less power than claimed for any number of reasons, etc.

it doesn't tell me anything about how much power either car actually makes :dunno:

firecran 07-15-2014 06:10 PM

Nice runs!
Looks like a blast!

Schartz is this the first engine swap you have done on a vehicle? You did an awesome job, I have friends with 240s getting into rb20 swaps and this makes me want to swap my renesis

Arca_ex 08-12-2014 09:46 AM

What's wrong with the Airwerks?

Schartz 08-13-2014 01:39 PM

That is the Airwerks with upgraded internals and compressor housing from bullseye

dznutzuk 08-21-2014 03:05 PM

I'm guessing you like to wank your stick a bit huh? Looks like you're babying that transmission.
