Could some kind soul please take a nice photo of the loom where that white wire goes in?
Thanks in advance............

Funny both of the Professors who helped me were long time tenured profs there but now have great private sector jobs. Most notably Dr. Jay Easwaren. Now has a company that overhauls APU's. Dr. Curt Swanson is in London doing something i don't know.

In the engineering school worked with Fluid Dynamics and Materials. All for the supercharger. My son helped Pro Swanson build a spin fixture and I donated a supercharger to use on it.
My son graduated in '91. He studied materials with Easwaren too. He now works for Boeing.
Great school and a bargin to boot. Underated except in aviation. I have not visited in many years and have only seen pictures of the new airport campus at Battle Creek. Donated by Kellogs was it? That must be awsome.
Oh yeh, Kalamazoo has a great WWll aero museum. Nice restoration work on some of those. When I visited it was like $3.00 entrey fee. It's on the commercial airport.
You know there are poeople who don't think there really is a Kalamazoo.
I was on a flight to Detroit then Kalamazoo and when the woman next to me asked where I was going she thought I was joking.
There you go Jon, 101 and counting. So who is the longwinded jerk helping you?
From now on I only speak on my thread.

sorry for discussing personal stuff everyone on this turbo thread...last irrelevant post...
richard, just took my daughter to the newly opened AIRZOO today...pretty cool. they have an sr71, and lots of other stuff including flight simulators that move in 6 dimiensions or more.
they kept the old one open you talked about...it has more stuff...engines, plane parts and tons of planes...still better than the new air zoo by far. my 3 yr old likes the new one because they have indoor amusement rides and popcorn for her.!
ps. if i drive my turboed car out there, would you help a fellow alumni and tweak it for me?
ha ha ?(go broncos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My thread, my thread, this is the enemys turf.
I didn't know they opened a new one. Hell I'd never miss a chance to just stand by an SR 71. You can feel the power even when are not running.
Do you really think a turbo'ed Rx8 can make it that far?? Or were you going to truck it??

well, if jon is the guinea pig for one of the first turbos with 101 pages (go jon!), than i can log the first cross country trip and engine rebuild combo!
ill let you know if it makes it to the end of my driveway. if so, ill just head west and see what happens...have your laptop and a wrench ready! (you can put one of your newfangled superchargers on!)

Where the air is rare
Booster Lit!
WHOA BABY!! :D :D :D :D :D
I finally got that pesky oil pressure switch out. I found a semi-deep 24mm socket that fit in the confines. Finished up the details, fired her up, checked for leaks and took her for a spin around the outskirts of the neighborhood. Sheesh...even in Denver, where the air is rare, this thing starts cranking in the mid-2K range and just keeps on cranking! I have a blowoff on the way, and these things NEED ONE. When you let off the throttle, you can definitely hear the excess boost whimpering around trying to find a way out.
Only thing left to do is find a good place to hang the eManage unit behind the glove box. Mine is too full to hold it and all the other stuff that lives in there.

Hey Ryan - want to get together tonight for some tuning? I'm going to VA for the MSCW meeting, I could head over to your place after that. I don't have people from my work breathing down my neck tonight. I' have the laptop thing figured out and I have several maps I want to try out.

I'm throwing the laptop and cables in the car right now.
I have played with some versions of the map I installed in your car - it is very rich in some spots which probably don't need to be.
I have also spent some time with the Greddy map. Most of the issues seem to be the transition into boost and the 4800 RPM range, regardless of boost. I made those areas wetter and started pulling some ignition timing under boost - something that everyone should consider. You will need to get that ignition harness installed for that.
When are you going to put the E-01 in?
