Title: It Freaking Runs WooooHooooo.....BBC 8-71 EFI
Post by: TJS Nordic on June 06, 2009, 07:31:26 PM
I got it running today. I have a lot of tuning to do with the Accel DFI Thruster System. I am going to run it again tomorrow on the stand. I am going to put it in the boat next week after I modify the fuel tanks once again. I will get video tomorrow. T.J. http://www.socaljetboats.com/index.php?topic=5853.25

Still got some bugs and adjusting to do. Hope to get it in the boat next weekend after I modify the fuel tanks for the return line and cross-over.
Here is the link to the vid. My Father starting it and TonyM at the laptop. Sorry so dark the sun was hitting the lens.

Was trying to tune this thing without hardly any Accel DFI tuning exp. I did not dyno it, cause in CT. there are only like 2 dynos and I talked to them and did not like what the engine dyno people had to say. Anyway, I brought the whole engine and stand to a guy who is well known in the tuning industry and an Accel guru. He was able to tune the roots blower idle surge right out of it in about 20 min. He was playing with 3d graphs I never have seen. He was so fast at the keyboard I was stumpped. I just gave up asking him questions and just started the killed the engine when he gave the sign. My Father was there too and tried to shoot video. All he got was 2 seconds of vid. :banghead:
Here are some pics and the last is the vid. I should this thing is the boat in a week or so. The tuner is also going with me on the water. Notice the wideband 02 sensor bung. The only way to tune. T.J.
