Hello from the wastelands

Post by nagtrainer »

Hello Folks,

Michael here a.k.a. Nagtrainer.

I use to train horses, not the other nag.. :D I live in S.E. New Mexico, about 7 miles for Texas. If you google earth this place it looks like a wasteland of nothing but pump jacks and oil rigs.

I currently have a Suzuki Samurai with a Swift SOHC 16V 1.3L. I currently run a MicroSquirt V3 on it. It soon will have a Swift DOHC GTi. I have plans as well as a selection of turbos to use on it. I am going to keep it COP wasted spark. or just go Pencil Coil on Plug. I am going to use the 36-2-2-2 crank gear. It should be interesting. And I am always up for learning a new system. Especially if it is less expensive or more powerful then the previous. If this works out well I may try this on an Atlas 4.2 with a turbo, or see if I can integrate it to a 5.7 Hemi in my Dodge Magnum.

Thanks
Nag

Hello Folks,

Nagtrainer here, AKA Mike

I use to train horses not the other.. :D Now I just build hings and work on Police cars.

I have a Suzuki Samurai, current system is a MicroSquirt. but like the ideas of rusefi. I have been putting the parts together for a DOHC 1.3 Swift engine. I am going to run a 36-2-2-2 crank gear. Would like to keep it wasted spark or even go with COP. I am waiting on the rods and then to the balancer shop. It will be uses in Desert racing in this area as well as rock crawling. Induction wise I have ITB from a GSXR1000, a choice of turbo's (KO3, TDO5h, Holeset HX25) I would like to run tandem injection. IE two set of injectors for each cylinder. one for Idle on up and a second to kick in at 10+lbs of boost at high RPM. I have a few other goodies, but I haven't figured all the other details for the block and I still am working on intake runner design.

Hello and welcome along.

Have you found Frankenso on the wiki? http://rusefi.com/wiki/index.php?title=Manual:Hardware_Frankenso_board

About tandem injection, it's commonly been called staged injection in other parts of this forum.

How many of the Suziki's are there down there? I know of a couple that have made the TV. Those are nice little rock crawlers.
Welcome to the friendlier side of internet crazy :)

^^^ To answer your question, there is 7 in this town of 3500 people. But I have a customer list of about 150.. Really popular with us in the older crowd. SLow and Go.. lol

I haven't had much time here of late, I have a Police car fleet I need to take care of lately and they just hired an officer who is a bit hard on them.. Rambo behind the wheel.. If I could I would like to see what this can do on a Hemi.. :twisted:

The Hemi is definitely doable... I mean heck, I started my thread about converting my 01 Ram's 5.9 Magnum. And I'm really liking this forum.

Nagtrainer, have you been to Philmont, or around there? Cimarron area, kind of Northeast?

Oh yes Cimmarron is beautiful.. I have family up there.. I asked about the hemi, because I just picked a 200 dollar special from the auction. 2008 Dodge Magnum Police package. Well the wife decided she liked the car more than me so she put the kabash on my racing Police car plans, in stead she want's me to fix th holes in the roof and let her drive it daily.
