Re: For those with superchargers...Need technical advice
Taz,
Thanks bud. I completely agree. I've only punched it a couple of times and even at that, I was listening for hesitations, stuttering, pinging, etc, etc...
I'm pretty use to having superchargers since they're on almost every vehicle I own....
I hadn't hooked up the gauges yet because I couldn't find an adapter to screw the fuel plug into the aluminum block coming off the fuel rail.
STUPID ME, another 6 inches up the rail was a plug with the same threads....duh.
I'll have the gauges installed this week though and go get the a/f ratio checked out. Since this isn't really a performance tune of any kind, I'm confident that Nelson has the numbers correct.
I REALLY like your ability to adjust on the fly and also the fact you can display it on your screen. I may have to play with that.
As far as more boost, I guess I'm like ever other motorhead male, it's never enough and when I get used to it, I'll be looking for more...
Thanks again for your help and advice... as usual, you're more than helpful.
Mark

Re: For those with superchargers...Need technical advice
Orange
Your welcome Buddy.
I just have this thing about going fast. Just have never been able to out grow that feeling.
Someday maybe, I doubt it. I get out with golf buddies and we race our own carts even. Always looking to rewind an electric motor or regovern a gas motor then change the gearing. We are just idiots i think. LOL I tell them they are anyway so they ask me what is my excuse then? Go figure they got me also.
By the time You get ready to mess with using software as I'm working on i will have all the bugs worked out and will be glad to help You. It can be done just using a laptop but, with the rig being a show Queen for now anyway i'm using an installed PC and a perminent mounted 12" touchscreen in dash to make it cool. But, it is very useful as I can actual check the gauges with the gauges i can place on the PC screen and see if they are acurate with computer. Just some neat stuff to play with but, useful also.
I can also tune any H2 that is same year model as mine and I infact have an extra software setup for a 2003 H2 I think. I'm not sure it has the wideband on it though but, it would run on a laptop and allow You to check as well as tune allot of things. Well anyway just happen to think of that so I would be able to tune 2003 H2's to a great degree and set electric fan on and off as well as tranny plus all those other little things.
Well sorry for straying off it just jogged my memory. Been fighting seizure battles allot that have appeared from the 3 years i spent fighting GI Bleed so Neuro thinks brain may have damage from oxygen shortage all the time. doing an MRI soon to look for scaring on the brain to see if it may be operable. I hate to go through another surgery since they removed most of my guts to stop the GI bleed. Yet the seizure meds are so harsh i told doc I would be happy for brain work if it would stop all the seizure meds. Tell anyone You that if Keppra is offered to them for this problem to turn it down and run. It is an evil med in my book.
Well wish i could have been over with you to try a ride in Your remade H2 with all the power now. I know my first launch with the huge torque steer i experienced was a real thrill. I was partial prepared though having seen the torque steer KenP had with his LPE setup rig but, it is still not geting the feel of it happening.
I wish You well and I would put my money on any tune Allen sent to me. Dragon and I have used Allen for some applications and if he used HPTUNERS software I would get him to build me a tune he liked and i would run it using my program. He just has that natural skill to know just how far to go. He says I will get more than he would but, only because I'm doing my rig in real time scanning it and flashing it then scan some more so i can step up my tune once i watch it and see how the engine and tranny react.
Well let me know if I can be of help. You know I'm glad to do it if i can.
TAZ

Re: For those with superchargers...Need technical advice
Taz,
Thanks for the response and opinion. I'm sorry to hear about your medical problem, I hope it can be cured and things come out well.
Hopefully we'll get to meet sometime and perhaps I'll have my shiet together....
Thanks,
Mark

Re: For those with superchargers...Need technical advice
Hey Orange,
If you do decide at some point to go to a larger dash display using a computer do not go over 10" touchscreen. The 12" we are using is great quality and I would use the same brand for a 10". It is just the size of 12" is way to much trouble to rework the center dash area for. There have been a whole list of things to overcome although it would not be as bad to do it for someone else with us now working out most tricks for the mod.
Well anyway You would love the 10" and a small permanent pc in the truck to hold all the mp3's, cd's, dvd's and what ever else you would want to store. Even a list of parts to pickup for your shops say while driving You can add to list on computer with voice recognition software to dictate to. It can have dalt planner downloaded from a handheld pc. Just so many things that onboard computer can be used for. New software coming out all the time.
We have a super computer geek that is a friend and he is always looking up and finding freeware that will do the same as the high dollar software does. In fact some of it seems to be better and easier to use. Well anyway just more stuff that as time goes by will have more stuffed worked out for you to look at and any of Our forum Bud's may like to find out about. I'm all abot helping each other with better and cheaper ways of dealing with problems on Our H2's.
TAZ

Re: For those with superchargers...Need technical advice
I went with the whipple and could not be more disappointed I have over 5000.00 invested and this thing sucks it stalls and throws codes constantly and all whipple can tell me is huh we ain't had those problems before. I went with whipple for the mans reputation and I don't think it's worth what I paid. H2 Bill did you have any problems with your whipple and how does perform?

Re: For those with superchargers...Need technical advice
No, I have Whipples on 2 of my vehicles, the H2 and my 454 Suburban. No stalling, no codes. Their tuning program sucks. Go with Nelson or better yet, find someone with a 4wd dyno and have it tuned on that.
