My 89 MI16

3 minute(s) of a 84 minute read

I drove it to work yesterday and around town so total of 120 miles. We are all Peugeot enthusiasts here so I won't be ashamed for saying that I was happy as a kid driving it yesterday,huge smile on my face followed by singing and dancing while driving. It truly does bring smile to my face and I love this car very much.

My friend Derek (ECMlink guru) is on the way so hopefully we get decent tune today and all goes well.

Ohhh I also got my DIY intake parts which makes it very last thing to do.

Saturday went very well. We got idle spot on,adjusted VE tables,fuel and timing. We had to use MAF to record and adjust data for SD which we drove for about 60 miles at different speeds. Once that was done we applied it to SD tables and made adjustments and chages to SD cells. Right before we went for a drive I noticed my check engine light would flash at 4000 RPM plus which I knew it was knock because I set it as fail safe. Sure enough it was showing on data so I adjusted base timing which it was really off. About 9:30pm Derek finally let me go WOT and to me it did felt lot quicker and we did not have knock at all. I did REV it to 7500 RPM and no knock was detected at all.

E85 tuning did not happen as I did not purchase WB 02,once I get that we can go for real WOT tuning and we can start adding timing.

Sunday night after movies it was lot cooler outside about high 40's and I really santed to see how she will sound at cold start up and she sure did started up and idled like a champ just like it came out of factory with ECMlink so I can say for sure JOB WELL DONE.

I got that intake made and it fits great. I need to send it out to powder coating,once is done I'll take photos of new engine bay.

So far 534 miles on this ECMlink swap and so far no problems at all.

I just my new side marker lamps to match my new Euro headlamps. Also I got from Germany that long dash vent part that always brakes on 405's. Gaskets in the picture are for roof rack for my wagon.

O yeah I ordered new AVO coilovers from UK today.
