Day 33 - 2/27/2004

Home

Been really busy this week with my real job and with moving the MR2 Message Board to it's new home. The guys at the board don't know about it yet, well except for the mods. Moving the board in-house will allow me to really get that place moving.

I have also been really busy with getting the needed parts to finish this project. The week was spent begging the wife to allow me to get wheels and tires. Well they are on their way. The rears should be here Monday with the front showing about a week later as they wheels are back ordered.

The Powertrain Control Solutions Transmission Control Unit is built. They are just waiting for my transaxle wiring connectors so they can build a harness. I will be BETA testing the unit for use in the Hydramatic 4T80-E.

Some guys wanted to see a dyno chart. This is what GM has. This is flywheel horse power and torque and is supplied by GM. I love the flat torque curve. Now that is also a fully dressed engine. Our has nothing but the alternator. We do not use power steering in the MR2. Power steering is for hondas and girls. Same with A/C. Our power curves should be slightly different as we will be tuning for max power.
