TGP Version 2.0


Recommended Posts

Feeling a lot better about the interior now that it's somewhat clean. The carpet is brand new (definitely not original). Anyone interested in gray AQ9s? No rips, but it looks like there is a mismatched piece of plastic on each, and they're dirty.

factory method is via a PWM signal.... so i don't see why not.

 

the trick is doing it in closed loop using the cam sensor signal. i think it has 4 notches on it? probably 3 at a shared interval(240 crank degrees) with 1 at a different interval for cylinder ID purposes. that's the portion i'm having issues with due to some hardware missing from the PCM i've been playing with.

Who do we know that has a lz9 and a scope?

Looks to me like the MS3 is a good fit for an LZ9. http://www.msextra.com/doc/ms3/vvt.html

I think it's only $80 more than the MS2. Can't say the same about the lz9, $650 for 100k miles. That and it would probably eat a 282 for breakfast, especially with the help of a turbo.

 

I already know how to read the 58x CPS so I can use the factory ignition. Hmmm

Joseph Upson has a modded, turbo 3900 pushing up to 18PSI through a F40.....

different bellhousing. looks WAY different actually.

 

Damn, such a good deal.

Posted

free shipping? 282? $400?

 

wouldn't that be nice....

Also, I (properly) cleaned the car today. I am 99.9% sure that the car has been repainted. I think TGPs had black/gold metallic paint, but this is black/silver metallic. I'll get some pics after wax.

 

EDIT: Oh and Saar, I might just swap the trans and see where I stand with the current engine. PCM is missing a chip though. Do you have a TGP 5spd tune you can send me?

did you try firing it up? If you're going to do a swap anyhow, might be interesting to see what this engine does :lol:

Posted

Can't. No memcal, let alone tune. Hopefully robert can come through for meh. It would be nice to be able to move it instead of pushing it everywhere, but I'm not going anywhere without a transmission.

 

It looks like the rust is not beyond repair, but it's bad. At least, I need to fab up some trailing arm mounts. Hopefully it doesn't go beyond that. Tear down coming soon.

didn't see the request until now. i don't have any calibrations setup for a 5 speed TGP, but an auto calibration would likely run well enough to get it mobile.

Posted
Do you want to buy it back? Its just sitting on my parts shelf

 

Depends. Do you still have the awesome custom downpipe?

Posted

Damn man, welcome back to the insanity.

 

That engine bay didn't even look like it was capable of functioning with all of that bullshit debris :lol:

 

Definitely looks a ton better, can't wait for some updates!

Posted (edited)

Great pick up man! Welcome back hehe. Fix her up! 5-spd TGPs FTW! :cheers:

Working on it. Still haven't seen under the car. Tires went flat so it's just sitting in the back alley waiting to be pushed into the garage. Garage is all set for a major undertaking though, just not sure if it will be this car.

 

Might have a replacement trans lined up :D

Little bit of work on the car today. Just stripping it down. Life is so busy, it's hard to find time anymore...

Hey Jon!!! Thanks for the update... Next one will hopefully have more to it ;)

Yeah, I was heating up some pizza rolls and thought I'd go stare at it. Looks like hell. Need to get off my ass and work on it.
