[stezloco]

is there a hand held obd1 scan tool thats popular and reasonably priced that will do all the tasks needed on this motor ?.......i'm gonna call it a day on this thread and thank you all for your input...cheers

I have this(Gmtd scantech), it works great, saved me lot of money.
you can time the inj pump with it, read codes, delete codes, read data from alot of sensors.....i like it alot.

my 94 dually will barf a black cloud out if you stomp the loud pedal,. but it spools up quick enough and is clean,.it has a hand me down chip in it,.good exhaust, good air intake, optical bump, welded wastegate etc,.

OPTICAL BUMP? whats that? f.i.p. mod?
why do you have a welded wastegate? standard turbo? how do you control top end boost/overboost? do you have an inlet manifold 'blowoff' valve ? it would enable getting rid of vac pump and hose/solenoid unplug i reckon..... what power / response gain has this made ?
i dont have too much of a problem with boost because the contents of my wallet and the price of go-go juice prevents me putting my foot to the floor ...ha ha.

looks like thats the one i'll have to get....just need a 1/2 decent laptop or a netbook with sufficient spec?
cheers ..

Bought a toshiba netbook, cables on the way from Engh....hope it all marries up and works.still unsure of their 'chip' though, since there are no dyno figures , how do they know it puts out 60 hp extra??? gonna look at other chips as well, need to do some reading.....

[stezloco]

Enghs softwares great , easy to play with , well recommended. ...looking at inj pump timing....88 code set ...timing too advanced, rattle rattle...14mpg...pump body wouldnt adj enough before bottoming on the slots...shouldve been retarded with chain slop surely...?someones been here before...
removed ancills/etc to get at timing chain/pump gear...going to fit a gear kit to do away with slop altogether, while i'm this far in .can i just fit a smaller water pump drive pulley to speed up the std pump to 'up' the flow? (and shorten its brg/seal life, yiknow) anybody done that? dont suppose theres a pump output curve for that...
big numb fans gone,as well as the mouses nest between the rads, leccy twins going in its place, the space is cavernous without the fan housing. enough space to slot in a big intercooler as well.radiator drains' inaccessible (and cracked) going to araldite that in forever...
go-go juice at an all time(and rising) high of £1.21 a litre...37 U.S. gallon tank ...x139.86 L = £169.23 for a fill up...$258.1 at todays rate...boo hoo yogi. off now to look at KD's offerings.... see ya...

bought a phazer timing gear kit from K.D's, came yesterday, pretty rapid postage from over your side for a change....stung for 80 quid at customs on this side of the water, makes for an expensive 'fix', thats not a slur on you J.K. if youre reading this,i'm happy with the product, its just everythings a FORTUNE posted from America.
next job is a set of injector tips,(and manifold gaskets/retn tubing etc) to be set up at my local diesel pump shop, i'm just getting the cheap ones to see how they rate. then i'll buy a set of quality recon standard setting injectors for spares. ..... hadnt planned on all these spends but i love the power out of this old thing, just wish it wasnt so THIRSTY.my old jap pickup didnt register on the wallet scale as far as fuel mileage was concerned and wasnt really an issue.
after that will come the twin stat and x-over pipe mod and that will be the last i hope....apart from the oil leaking from the rear of the transfer case, which is a complete bodge by the previous owner, Carl if youre reading this , I MEAN YOU ! !...i havent even thought about that yet.
