update
 

how's it going guys? it's been a little while since i have posted. so, i figured i'd post up an update.
so, i blew up my motor before i left for iraq. while overseas, i ordered a motor and some other goodies to be waiting for me when i got home. well, i had taken my motor to a guy to have it built, and instead he bailed on me and kept my motor.
at this point, my car is being worked on right now. i have a new motor now, and it's being installed. so, here's a list of the work that the garage is doing for me.
new motor
powdercoated idi cover, valve covers, timing chain covers
secret cams
58mm throttle body
venom fuel rail
lightweight crank pulley
gmpp supercharger
tuned ecu
lsd insert in tranny

the guy's a family friend is doing everything for a good price. should be back on the road in the next couple weeks.

Great to hear. Any word on the guy that stole your motor?

I hope it blows the hell up, and a connecting rod goes through his head

people who Steal shit..i HATE

I looked at your car domain, how did you do the radio bezel because I'm wanting to do the same thing

x2 i was think about doing the same thing cause i need to find a place to put my 7inch screen for MS-2

I'm gonna assume that hood is custom too?

it's the one from the group buy

welcome back dood

Which group buy was that?...It's not the cowl induction one

oh my bad, been a while since i looked at his car. he has a stock hood.

the one on page 3 is Microsoft Paint added... it's a mockup

Oh wtf ha...I was gonna say I want that shit lol

well, everything's up and running! now, i just have to find my 3 bar map sensor....where the heck did i put it. lol
as far as the hood, yeah totally paintshopped it. down the road, i'll probably do something along those lines tho.
as far as the dash, i may be selling that screen setup. not sure though. it's chopped up and sems plastic welded together. a little body filler and paint. you got yourself a nice screen. any offers? lol

why are you trying to put in a 3 bar MAP sensor? you think the supercharger is going to produce over 14.7 PSI of boost? lol

sorry, two bar. my bad. got an extra laying around?

there's supposed to be a cheaper alternative (like $60) but i haven't found it... Fi-Alero tried one and it's totally the wrong connector

I got my $50 MAP sensor from Advanced Auto Parts.

Autozone wanted $160 or so for the one that fits, and $60 for the one that didn't.

Part number? I thought you said it didn't fit, or was that the AutoZone part number I gave you off Aleromod Upgrades?

yeah. i can't find the other one for the life of me. hook a brother up

What didn't fit about it? Was it just that the connector wasn't keyed right? Or does yours have a micropack connector? The cheaper GM one is a weatherpack connector.

The SU1477 one posted above is the same one as on the STS. (which has 14.7 psi boost)

The SU1477 is the right one, it's just expensive. The cheaper one looks like this and is totally the wrong connector:

I do believe that's the one that would work on the 3400.

Edited: wrong part again. Confirmed not a working MAP sensor for the application.

so what is the cheapest map sensor that's 2 bar? i need it today. help me out

that was the 3400 MAP, should be able to get a new one at autozone, i dont think you have much of a choice, but to buy that expensive one

i'm trying to find it. there is a $45-60 one. Fi-Alero has it but won't look at the part number on it. he says it's one of the ones i told him to get. i'm looking through my PMs.

will it work on the 2.4?

the two $160 ones i listed are the exact part but there is an alternate part number that's the same thing that is $100 cheaper.

if you can find it, that would be amazing. funds are tight, just want my car back

About $47. Just need to take off the orange rubber seal and stick on your boost/vacuum hose.

hero of the day

alright, so the map sensor is in. but, the car is still running extremely rich. i'm not sure why. at this point, i've contacted the guy that tuned my computer, but i'm not sure if he's going to get back to me.....dissappointing

some new pics

You're not on just the GM Reflash?

no, i'm running a tune from shifted over on j-bodies. any chance you could look it over? i'd send you the computer and make it worth it for you

I just need the .hpt file

i'll see what i can do. no response from Ron yet.

so, the report from the mechanic says that, the computer is reading 40 degrees below zero and 100 percent load when first started.....any ideas?

-40 IAT means it's unplugged. Same with coolant and all other temp sensors I think. Sometimes when I hit "Start Scanning" on HPTuners one of the temp gauges will be pegged at -40. Just need to stop and start the datalogging again and it fixes it. If it's solidly -40 no matter what it's obviously an issue with the sensor.

What do you mean "100 percent load"?
