Re: My n/a super b3 build

Awesome man!! I can't wait to see how it drives when you can really open it up!

Inspirational!

Sounds great. Mucho stickers, esse.

lol yeah my girlfriend said why do you have so many stickers...lol im kinda a sticker whore, i have a whole file full of them

[sasquatch]

are those DEPO racing gauges?

these vids make me miss driving my festiva... yours sounds so awesome, i LOVE the sound... i gotta build a crazy N/A festiva... as cool as turbo motors are, built n/a motors just have something awesome about them...

Re: My n/a super b3 build

Thanks, and no they are prosport.. They are a cheaper gauge but work really well and are actually really accurate

ya prosport isnt to bad... its no autometer but even those have problems... for my diesel sidekick build i went and got depo racing gauges for it, they are very cool, i like them alot.... i gotta start a build thread on that soon...

[mattdickmeyer]

Happy to see you got it running! They never seem to sound the same on video do they? Can't wait for you to get some miles on it so you can open it up some.

Re: My n/a super b3 build

Yeah I like the prosport really it was them or depo that had amber led to match my stock dash... I would love to get auto meter (I'm big on USA made stuff) but don't see any that really match my stock gauges.

Re: My n/a super b3 build

Thanks Matt. I played with tuning a little yesterday and did my timing and idle air adjustment with the vacuum gauge and I did back off the advance quite a bit to get the vacuum higher and it gave me more power too. Still have the dieseling problem, I still had a half a tank of regular so I filled the tank with premium to see if it helps, my uncle was helping me and suggested searching to see if they made a idle jet solenoid and I found one so I ordered it, that will definetly stop the dieseling. So far even when it was just regular fuel didn't hear any detonation while driving just the dieseling.

What do you mean by dieseling?

[Prafeston]

When I used to drive a carbed car I would get what people called dieseling. When I turned the car off it's like it would sputter a bit cause there was still fuel/fumes firing in the cylinders.

Re: My n/a super b3 build

Dieseling is when you shut the engine off and it kinda hiccups and keeps running for a second or so... Its caused by detonation, when you shut the engine down it has no spark but the high compression is still igniting the fuel and with a carb it is still giving fuel from the idle jet because the carb gives fuel through air flow through the venturi, so they have a solenoid that screws into the idle jet and you supply ignition power so when you shut off the car it closes the idle jet and cuts fuel to the carb and stops the dieseling... Dieseling can damage things.

Ah ok, ive heard of that problem with carb engines just didn't know the term for it lol thanks for clearing that up

Re: My n/a super b3 build

No prob.. It can actually happen on efi also, not 100% sure of the cause on efi though

Congrats, it sounds pretty sweet! Where is your timing set at now?
