THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Anyone know of a quality shop near Allston? Friend needs some steering work done on her car, the tie rod ends, steering rack, balljoints, and/or PS pump are acting up. From the description I suspect tie rods or balljoints, but I'm not sure.

Suspened till further notice. I broke a drill today and it was over a cheap drill that broke. I called the boss up and he flipped shit, but wouldent have cared had I told him how the drill broke.....gay.



****...............:badpc:

Anyone have a big thick piece of steel, round or square, solid, like 2-3" diameter. Don't need a lot just making something like this.

When do you need it?

My sisters used to go to a dude just off 9 in newton, he specializes in Honda if that helps, I think it was called Dave's
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

finally got around to ordering the Gerber artifact.

I lost mine. :(

Should probably just get another one...that was a handy lil tool.

Speakin' of which. I got this last night, it was my grandfather's. My grandmother was about to bring it to the next local gun buyback. :eek:

And like most things with me, it can't just be normal. The serial number dates it to 1977 but they discontinued that caliber and changed the grips in 1972. Currently signed up on a Colt forum and another gun-related forum and causing a bunch of confusion over this. :laugh:

My grandmother also wanted me to have this:

My grandfather's watch from when he worked as a switch operator in a railyard. I've so far identified it as a 1945-1946 Hamilton 992B Model 11. Sometime soon I want to take it to a local shop and get it checked out before I try to wind it up again.

I'm so close to throwing this megasquirt in the trash. Been eating away at me for the past 3 weekends.

I think I finally have the noise traced down to the fact that I'm using low-z injectors with PWM. when I tested the output of the injectors with the engine not running, my tach goes nuts (no crossed wires or anything).

I'm going to add a .47uF capacitor between two of the transistors on the flyback circuit and hope that cures the noise. Several people have reported success with my same symptoms.

Gonna use today to get some tubework done. Probably stop by You-do-it electronics one night next week.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Put an oscilloscope on it and find where the noise is coming from in 10 minutes?

If you don't have an o-scope, I have like six you can borrow for a couple weeks.

Make sure you use a low-ESR cap.
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

The only other thing I can think of is that I don't have the LC-1 signal grounded through the megasquirt (with all the other sensors). It's grounded directly to the engine so that could be creating an offset.

I don't think that would be causing any kind of noise though. Although all of my sensor readings are pretty dead on except the LC-1...
