New Idle-Eze™ An Idle-Speed Tuning System

(12-6-2004) - Barry Grant, Inc. announces a new patent-pending Idle-Eze™ baseplate; a new means of fine-tuning the idle speed that will be offered as part of Demon Carburetion’s Speed Demon and Mighty Demon carburetors.

The Idle-Eze™ idle-speed tuning system uses a beveled screw, which acts on a cross-drilled seat in the baseplate to precisely meter additional air into the intake plenum. This has the effect of precisely establishing the idle speed after the throttle shaft position has been set in relation to the transfer slot in the idle-speed circuit. The Idle-Eze valve is located in a threaded hole in the middle of the baseplate and is easily accessed with a screwdriver through the air cleaner stud hole. The top and bottom of the baseplate, above the throttle plates, is milled with four channels out to each throttle bore to match the holes in the valve assembly. A spring maintains tension on the screw portion of the beveled seat valve.
Idle-Eze™ benefits:

• Precisely meters additional air into the intake
• Establishes the idle speed after the throttle shaft position has been set
• Ideal if the cam may be slightly larger than the ideal for the carburetor
• Allows smoother transition from off idle, avoids potential for stumble

Edge Goes Gas: Evolution Programmer Released For Ford Triton V-8 Trucks

(11-25-2004) - Edge Products, an industry leader in diesel performance technology, enters the gas tuning segment with a new Evolution hand-held programmer for late-model Ford trucks. This next-generation programmer adds power but also dramatically improves drivability and durability by fine-tuning transmission shifting.

As with Edge's 7.3L Power Stroke programmer, the gas Evolution offers three tuning options. Level 1 (Transmission Only) retains factory engine power and reprograms the PCM to provide firmer shifts, helping to increase transmission life. Moving up, Level 2 (Tow Performance) includes the optimized transmission shifting and also modifies the ignition timing and fuel delivery to improve overall performance. Speed and rev limiter adjustments help sharpen throttle response. Level 3 (High Performance) aggressively tunes fueling and ignition timing for 91-octane gas to add up to 12% more HP and 15% more torque -- approximately 16 HP and 25 lb-ft on the average 1997-2003 5.4L V-8.

In the process, the transmission is reprogrammed to take advantage of the increased engine performance by providing quicker, firmer shifts. Further, Edge's testing revealed a 1-3 mpg improvement in fuel economy under certain driving conditions.

The Evolution also offers diagnostic and performance-capturing capabilities. Its backlit LED display can read, describe and clear Check Engine trouble codes. To document performance improvements, the Evolution will capture and display both 0-60 mph and 1/4-mile times. For owners of lifted or lowered trucks, the Evolution adjusts for non-stock tire sizes and gear ratios (on trucks equipped with digital odometers). Evolution installation takes about 10 minutes and doesn’t require any tools -- simply connect the programmer to the OBD-II diagnostic port underneath the dash. Applications are currently available for 1997-2003 Ford Triton V-8-powered trucks.

Edge Products also manufactures plug-in modules, programmers, and in-cab controllers for popular late-model domestic diesel trucks, vans and motorhomes.

The Ultimate Nitrous Nozzle!

(11-13-2004) - “The secret’s out, and this is what propelled us,” said Tommy Bolton, builder and tuner of the world’s quickest and fastest gasoline powered motorcycle after his screamin’ yellow Kawasaki Funnybike laid down a pass of 6.60 at 213 mph in the hands of Glen Nickelberry.

Tommy was talking about the Speedtech Compact Liquid Force system, the ultimate in direct port nitrous injection. Created for precise distribution of nitrous and fuel for domestic and foreign carbureted/EFI 4 cylinder motors, the Speedtech systems offer superior atomization and tuning by injecting precisely measured amounts of fuel and nitrous into each individual port with the Liquid Force nozzle. Horsepower levels are easily adjusted, by jetting at the nozzle, from 75 to 300 HP.

“It siphons the fuel out of the fuel nozzle, so it atomizes the fuel right then,” continued Bolton. “They were the talk of the Pro Mod pits in Gainesville (site of the recent AMA/Prostar World Finals).”

The liquid force nozzle has a much more port-shaped pattern that does not allow the fuel to wash down the port walls like it does with a fan-spray type nozzle. The Speedtech nozzle helps promote engine airflow rather than disrupt it. “It is very hard in a 90 degree nozzle to achieve a low pressure fuel draw that is predictable and consistent from nozzle to nozzle,” said Jason Sharp of Speedtech. “Our design provides this action in a repeatable fashion, with the v-notch in the fuel circuit to relieve any buildup of nitrous pressure at the tip of the fuel passage.

“With its one piece design, not having any type of tube is another area that benefits with repeatability. With a fuel tube in a 90 degree nozzle, if the length of the tube varies at all the vacuum draw on the fuel circuit is changed drastically.”

The Speedtech system provides an extremely atomized discharge by blowing the nitrous across the fuel channel, shearing the fuel without shutting off the fuel supply by having that notch in the fuel circuit, and maintaining a tight cone-shaped discharge—that is the key to the Liquid Force nozzle. These are the same Speedtech nozzles used by the Pro Mod Camaros of NHRA Las Vegas winner Shannon “The Iceman” Jenkins and Mike Castellana.

Liquid Force nozzles are $62.50 (US) each. Complete kits with stainless steel solenoids, stainless jets, aircraft quality lines, and CNC-machined aluminum distribution blocks are also available.

PLX DEVICES M-250 with 2 1/16”(52mm) Gauge

Low Cost Tuning with High End Results

(11-2-2004) - PLX Devices introduces the M-250 wideband oxygen sensor controller and PLX 2 1/16” display gauge for gas engines. Together both components make an affordable way to tune engines from premature detonation in lean conditions, maximizing power in rich conditions, as well as improving fuel economy.

Combining versatility with style, the compact M-250 and PLX gauge can be fitted to virtually any gas powered engine. Coupled with air/fuel ratio (AFR) measurements accurate up to 0.1 AFR, the M-250 with gauge gives a technological advantage to gasoline engines.

Roughly 2”x 4”, the M-250 wideband controller is easily integrated into any gas powered vehicle or vessel. A Bosch wideband oxygen sensor and an 8ft. plug and play wire harness are included with the controller for quick installation. Once installed, the self-calibrating controller begins to measure the car’s AFR via the oxygen sensor installed in the engine’s exhaust system. With an analog wideband output signal updating at 100,000 times per second, the M-250 is ideal for interfacing with a wide variety of applications such as engine diagnostic tools, data loggers, and engine management systems.

Complimenting the M-250 is the available 2 1/16” gauge, in white or black varieties. Designed to industry specifications, the gauge fits into standard 2 1/16” (52mm) gauge pods, mounts, pillars, and cups. Gauges feature a three-digit display and an integrated digital needle, and properly display AFR accurate up to 0.1 AFR.

“More and more, engineers and engine tuners are finding just how important their air/fuel ratios are. Whether it’s protecting their engine from premature detonation in lean conditions, maximizing power in rich conditions or improving fuel economy, vehicle AFR is a vital parameter in any internal combustion engine”, says Paul Lowchareonkul Founder of PLX Devices.

Traditionally, internal combustion tuning of this level required the help of expensive equipment or time consuming sessions on dynamometer which to most, makes it unaffordable. With the M-250 and other PLX products, every gas powered engine in an automobile, motorcycle, and marine vessel can benefit from PLX wideband air/fuel technologies.

PLX Devices specializes in the design, development, and distribution of technologies focused on the improvement of internal combustion engines. With an emphasis on making Air/Fuel Ratio tuning available for gas powered vehicles, PLX Devices features wireless data logging, display gauges, and tuning software.
