Barn motor and tranny swap

Glad it's running shitty about the TR6 being the the problem. Mine works flawlessly set up with individual coils. I have seen a couple threads on the other board with a similar issue but I'm not sure what the fix was and it appears the search function is down over there.

Glad it helped!  Keep it as long as you need it :)

I think I have heard of another one failing some where along the line.  Probably just a fluke

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Mine worked without issue on the white T but not this one.  I searched every way possible on the big board and came up with nothing.  Went to google instead and found a few hits but nothing of serious note.

I'd like to hold onto it till Bob gets the TR6 back to me.  I want to see what happens if I just swap in the TR6 after getting it back from him.  I shipped it this morning and he should get it Monday. 

On a side note, I also shipped the 6262 this morning as well.  Bison wanted me to wait till he got back from NC

Flushed the cooling system yesterday evening. Went for a little drive and decided to try a little boost in 3rd gear. Let's just say with this little TA49 there is no lag whatsoever. Boost was there immediately. Went a little after the TC locked. It felt a good but a little... lacking at 15#s. 110 mph and o2's at 817.


Getting the wideband bung welded this morning. Super anxious for the 6262 to get back from Bison

Nice work  I'm really curious to hear how that converter performs. You have it set to lock thru the chip? What speed?

For shits and giggles I'd take it to the track and slowly bounce the boost up to 25 keeping an eye on the high gear fuel.

I've got to get some tires and wheels for the track. These BFG's are great for street driving but won't do the job at the track

Managed to get the wideband installed and working with the Powerlogger. Also got the Helwig rear bar installed. Waiting for the 6262 to get back from Bison before the real testing begins. I can mange without the TR6 but would prefer to have it working 100% when installed.

Instructions state to start off in the outer most hole until I get used to it.  Which of the three holes did you end up mounting the links to?
