Its sacrifice time....

[WJM]

With the recent develop ments of the EA82 and my MS...its getting close to that time.

 

Time to blow up another one.

 

I will be coverting the MS-2 from the distributor system to EDIS4.

 

When i do that, I will be revving the engine to 7,000 in preparations for the EJxxx swap.

 

Why?

 

I need to see if with the EDIS4 and MS-2 if I can SAFELY run the engine with zero problems for an extended length of time with a rev range of 1000 to 7000, and up to 20 PSI of boost.

 

IF and only IF i have zero problems with that setup....will I use the MS on an EJ engine.

 

If not, I will be using a stock EJ205 US WRX ECU to run my EJ engine.

 

The main issue is random detonation, at random times....for no reason. The det events that happen are enough to shatter the EJ257 piston. However when tuned correctly, the EJ257 can handle 600 wheel HP. So no one can tell me "put real pistons in it, the stock ones are junk" They are NOT junk. I know this as a fact. With a stock EJ ECU, it can be tuned SAFE and RELIBLE with lots of power and stock driveability.

 

So far with the MS...I have acceptable driveability, ok power, with not so great reliability. I am hoping that most of the problems are originating from the optical disty that has too much mechanical slack...and since the MS was not engineered specifically to deal with this setup, it is not ideal. However, many with EDIS are having zero problems, and nearly factory like driveability/power/reliability.

 

So...the saga continues.

you're so emo.......

So are you lonely driver...

Take some video's of the engine as it blows.
