StreetSpeed’s DD 500+ MS6 Build

Are you insisting I zip tie my connector? Lol

 

Why not if it fits but doesn't click just zip tie it so it stays together

 

Well I was at about 6-10psi when it lost signal and immediately died. It felt as if it wanted to throw me through the windshield so I cna only imagine at over 20psi during a pull that dumb little zip tie falling off and throwing me into the dash lol Not really my idea of fun so idk haha

 

No zip tie around the backs thread it between the wires no way it would come loose

 

High temp RTV is my suggestion, just a little dab so you can cut it with a razor blade if you need to remove it. I have one of my DI injector plugs held on that way. Thanks Graveyard Its been that way for 15k miles or so with zero issues. I messed around with zip ties but could never get something worked out that made me feel confident there was no chance of failure.

 

That's a good idea man thanks for telling me! I will probably try this before actually hunting down the oem style plug. Did you put some inside the connector and then just squish it on? Lol ( obviously not too much that it interferes with the prongs etc)

 

No not on the inside. I pushed the connector on and used it on the outside across the joint just a small spot about the diameter of a pea. All I was trying to accomplish was "gluing" it in place so it doesn't come apart. Also this way you can just cut it with a razor so you can take it apart.

The issue I had was that the reconditioned injector that Graveyard sent me had a missing/broken retaining tab. So my injector harness plug would slide on but it wouldn't engage the tab which locks it in place.

 

Yeah I will definitely try this. I'm glad that they at least helped you solve the issue, even though that's frustrating fs.

 

So my throttle body connector is also held on with RTV. Somehow I broke the connector when I went to push it back on the TB. While I had the motor out of the car I figured I would fix it so I soldered a brand new pig tail connector on. When I went to push the new one on it broke the exact same way the original one did so at that point I said fuck it. I would still like to figure out why the hell they broke. You can see my little glob on top of the connector keeping it from coming off.

Graveyard did NOTHING for me about that. I came up with this solution on the fly because it was Sunday morning and the Speed was still my DD and I had to drive it to work Monday morning. Yes I'm still salty and have nothing good to say about them.

 

Not insisting, but using Zap straps to make a "lock" or keeping a plug seated when the lock is broke is really common in the world of fixing older junk with brittle plastics... youtube some ideas...

One thing you can try is using a pick to take the weather packing out and see if the connector locks.. If it does spray some silicone based lubricant on it.. the weather packing can become swollen, or sometimes sized wrong with replacement connectors.. It causes you to not be able to push the connector all the way in.. a little lube helps.

 

Well it's been a long time since I have updated and life has been a big factor of that. Needless to say I have made great progress!

Fixed the crank sensor connector with the oem style again. Then I got my pi working and with the help of fellow member help of @JohnnyTightlips I have began tuning this beast! He has felt bad for my budget built speed that has been slow forever and has been kind enough to help tune it for me over the past several years so shout out to a great guy!

Now for the most recent results yet for my 93 pump gas tune on returnless PI, 3.5" intake, ebay log mani, and stock but ported intake mani.
She's finally ripping and I have another tune I have yet to do a pull with so we shall see! Then hopefully we might start an E30 tune and hit my 500whp goal I have had for so long!!!!

 

Revision 6 making even more jam!

 

Hell yeah! Looking good! I bet she rips hard!

 

Looks slow.

You are getting really close to making the thread title true

 

Yeah just turn up the CF a touch more and you got this.

 

He's already cheating using DJ CF instead of 1.01 haha

 

Just let him have a moment of happiness lol. He is still making some great power on a cheap setup. I still think that CF for DynoJet is more accurate. Maybe it wasn't 15 years ago when the OG's were doing it?

 

I was digging into this myself a while back: vdyno is modelled and tested against dynojet so it probably is the most accurate. I think the mustang guys leave it on dynojet iirc from digging into the forums a while back.

 

You can pry my 1.01 sm3 from my cold dead hands.

 

I asked the creator of vdyno and he said that the dynojet setting is the most accurate lol that was like 4 years ago. For a while he was responding on facebook messenger as I had some questions.
