The Beautiful Puzzle: 1987 3.3L 930 EFI Build

[EmptyGarage]

That's the unit I was looking at. I'll be interested to see how well in interfaces with the DTA. I run a DTA without the wideband right now but would like to add this PLX unit.

Are you going to try and run a closed loop with the Oxygen sensor or just monitor the exhaust manually?

The O2/Lambda sensor will be talking to the ECU so the ECU can adjust the AFR in real time. My 1st Lambda sensor was too fragile and didn't make it trough the 1st week, so I have a new one coming this week...

Sure will Jim, I like it and would buy it again even though it's not cheap. It pushes the wheel up & out (which mine needed) and it's a great theft deterrent

Yep, if all goes well I'll get it done on the 23rd, but who needs a dyno when my wastegates tell me all I need to know...they give out very very quickly with 0.7bar springs

PM me if you want the pdf files that include temp curve and drawings, but the main specs are:

-10 deg C min resistance = 8325 and max = 10572
+20 deg C min resistance = 2280 and max = 2736
+80 deg C min resistance = 287.7 and max = 359.1

Hope this info helps

Just getting all my parts together for my PMO ITB/Megasquirt build, will this sensor just screw into the spot in the left cambox cover that my original (3.0L) CIS temp sensor was?

Gary, IIRC there are many different thread patterns offered. Just make sure you get the right one and it will. Mine did

This is the dyno weekend, right Rick?

Is it going to be somewhere local or are you still planning on doing so in south florida somewhere?

[CaptainCalf]

Trailered the 930 down to my tuner in Pompano Beach and left it with him to straighten out the rich running (new PLX box) and dyno tune it.

While down there we got a little fishing in

Darn, when I saw the update in my e-mail I was thinking you might have just posted some dyno sheets, lol.

Just glad to see your abscence here was not a case of the car killing you or anything blowing up.

I'm still alive and the car is too, so I'll post up the results ASAP
