here it is. everything seems ok.

Looks good..... I'm waiting for mine to come back

Was there something with this sample you were trying to prove with the S/C or something?


Blackstone's comments don't really matter, as the oil wasn't in use long enough to make sound conclusions.



I don't mind getting another analysis to put up, I'm just not sure it was of any benefit to you on such a short interval.

 

Told you so.

 

this will explain it


I am looking for coolant and other excessive metal wear.

 

now I listen to that buzz sound everytime I start my car before I go.




bbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

If something catastrophic occurred you would know it. The best thing you could do is run consistent 4k intervals and track wear metals. If something is excessively wearing, you'll know it by the second or third subsequent interval.

 

bbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ::nervous


We'll know as early as 6k miles.

 

hmmm...so you are saying to use the previous report as baseline and you will know if there's ecessive wearing by comparing the current report to previous ones?


I will return to run consistent 4k drain intervals from now on.

 

 

If I were you and that pump is so important, I'd wire up a LED or something on the dash that lets you know it's on.

 

Wouldn't a Walbro 255lph + a FPR solve things as well....

LEDs can be a good thing too. That's how I know my VI is always working (unlike everyone else)
-hype

 

Or someone can hook the VI up to the RSM and not worry about anything. The RSM has the ability to send a signal at a certain RPM (user selectable of course).

 

That wasn't actually the problem. Most people are using Harlan or modified MSD Rpm switches, but for some reason the relay wasn't activating correctly. Even if the rpm switch was activated the VI wasn't always doing the same. Granted some people did have problems with Harlan switches.

Using the RSM and a relay would probably lead to the same problems (even though in theory they should all work just fine).

My ghetto shift light always comes on (relay + RSM)... hasn't failed yet. Has anyone tried doing the VI/RSM combo that you know of?

 

I don't recall seeing it in writing, but at most 1 or 2 people. Most people don't have a RSM, and would rather spend $50 on a Harlan than $200 on a RSM. If the RSM could be used for other things you'd probably see more people using that combo.

Speed limiter cut.

 

I don't have a limiter

If it could raise the redline I would definitely get it
-hype

 

You're lucky!

The RSM is too ricey to do something like that.

 

Since we already hijacked the thread have you ever seen the Defi Sports VSD? I'd take that over the RSM anyway

exactly what I thought....I want some thing like that as my temp. fuel pressure gauge. Just some thing indicates the pump is on. Maybe I should get an LED for my window washer nozzle and hook it up to my fuel pump.


I also keep an eye on the EGT....usually when the pump is not working or the FMU is not activated at very low boost(1 psi), it raises really fast.


compression test this weekend if I have time
