The Bogan Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 New knock off headlights are not storm proof and have got some condensation happening I'll pull them in a while and try and do a smoke test to find where they are leaking They currently have the caps removed to try and dry them out Insert sad face here..... In other news the car has almost run up to 150k km, so the LS1 is basically just run in...

Also, at 150,000km on the clock, time to put it on blocks.

The Bogan Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Dropped a deposit on a 4" in/out Varex muffler Do I need a 4", probably not, LOL Also got the remote delete for a momentary switch coming in the mail Thinking about it after I hit the buy now button, I probably could have used one of the rear windows switches, door Meh, consumers must consume 🤣 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480074-mlrs-bogan-cruise-ship/page/46/#findComment-7975261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bogan Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Car had a miss only when nailing it, so I changed the plugs, that didn't fix it, so looked hard at the leads, they "seemed" fine, sooooo, dropped it off to Autotech to see what's up I'm guessing a coil, or lead, or wire, or "something" else all together Car was still driving fine cruising on the street or hwy, just not when I mashed the loud pedal Stupid car..... how am I meant to show the local cars my tail lights.....

Kinkstaah Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 But you said cruising slow was what you're all about. Now you can do it dropping cylinders and popping and banging. Sounds like an upgrade! As an aside, LS's are hard to even notice you're running on 7cyl for a month or so. Been there myself 😛 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480074-mlrs-bogan-cruise-ship/page/46/#findComment-7975535 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bogan Posted February 8, 2023 Author Share Posted February 8, 2023 A lose wire and a dodgy lead was the cause of the misfire, car is back to loving the loud pedal Still waiting for the 4" Varex to turn up, the X Force toggle switch has already arrived, but as yet I'm not certain where it is going to go, somewhere that is easy, quick, but still out of the way, maybe the fuse box cover, maybe in the centre console????? I also need to work out how to get the wiring from the Varex inside, hopefully there is already a grommet in the boot somewhere handy, otherwise it's a big drill bit and a grommet 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480074-mlrs-bogan-cruise-ship/page/46/#findComment-7975622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinkstaah Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 You can actually get an ODB2 box for a Varex, which will (yes, live) link into to engine parameters to open. So it can be automatically set to fully open at 50%+ throttle or whatever variable or combination of variables you choose. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480074-mlrs-bogan-cruise-ship/page/46/#findComment-7975734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bogan Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 I've got a ODB2 scanner that monitors IAT, and stuff, a up/down button is simple to work and easy to install What I really want is a Haltec ecu thing is that monitors/adjusts everything, but, for the car it is overkill and costs way more than this old rooster can justify to purchase, wire in and then retune Maybe if I win lotto 😒 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/480074-mlrs-bogan-cruise-ship/page/46/#findComment-7975740 Share on other sites More sharing options...
