I was amazed and how intuitive tunerstudio is the first time I fired it up. Glad to see it went together fairly painlessly.

I think am going to buy the full version of TS and data logger...those guys @ EFI deserve support and the more I read your thread the more I think I need to start looking for a 2002 for my next project..

I like where this is going. I'm definitely in for updates.

much more to come... cant wait to have all the electronics in place so I can jump on the hardware build...

Excellent! When you get the WB working (emailed) I can anaylyze some datalogs and we can get it dialed in. ;)

Could not get much done my son is sick so I spent time with him but managed to get a little startup video... Cant get the wideband to properly display on the gauge. Car start really well.. starts idle at around 12.xx and after warm its really lean around 16.xx

thanks guys stay tuned for a lot more.

I apologize in advance as its going to be a threw out winter/slow build but I;m very persistent and I will get my car twincharged by spring.

I was going to go out and tune my cars current setup tonight (but at a few days of the start of winter and snow) I said screw that for now as my car will be a different beast when its twincharged and will have to be retuned from scratch anyways... no point in tuning her twice.

So time to lock her up in the garage and turn on the heat and radio and start building the turbo side...:twisted:

last idle before twincharge project starts

After reading a LOT...came down to the decision to have the turbo feed the Supercharger it is apparently the best way to compound boost. My only concern right now is If I compound the boost turbo(10PSI) and SC (10-12)PSI right now with my 7" crank pulley is I will get a total of 29PSI Which is a hell of lot. I want to stay in the 20PSI max so I will have to adjust the pulley on the charger and wastegate on Turbo. Compounding boost is pretty awesome you get to bring down the PSI on each to their (max efficiency) and get to use a pretty big turbo that will spool really quick because of the extra exhaust gas because the SC is blowing extra 1L of air.

Once the air compressed by the turbo it get even more compressed by the SC thats why it goes from total 20PSI (my example) to 29PSI in the engine.

nomade30 on E30tech is the best place for E30 headstuds.also that seems extermely overpriced for a holset.

My holset was $150USD in 100% working condition. A rebuild kit is only $60USD.

I kind of got a great deal but I would NOT pay over $400 for a holset. and at $695 your getting into brand new turbonetics territory.
