Guy who doesn't know how to tune tunes 331ci Foxbody - Holley Terminator X - pt. 15

Full disclosure, I have almost no knowledge or experience tuning engines. In this video I work out all of the bugs from my build and get a solid idle tune going in the car

I had to change my starter on my BMW X3 and I never worked on a vehicle like it. The starter was under the manifold and I watched a few videos of guys just sliding it to the side and using an extension. The bolts are not easy to get to 😡I ended up removing the manifold and it took 20 minutes to change the starter with it out.When I was putting the starter back in I dropped a socket and thought it fell in the opening. I was lucky it fell under the engine. I put it back together and it started and I was happy to be done.So I know how you feel about getting frustrated. You are a great mechanic and one day I will build a motor. You inspired me ✊Thanks

Sounds awesome!!! Nice work!

[@trentdawg2832]

👍 good job…..wish I could figure out my terminator x on my supercharged LSA370NOVA…..pain in the ass….gotta do my votech supercharged 5.3 ‘73 c10 next, right after I finish painting it, my wife would kill me if she knew I was doing another supercharger build especially on a primered truck…..lol

[@BenStillerLetLoose]

Sounds damn good!

[@89gt5.0]

New subscriber . Fox sounds nice. Got some videos to catch up on now . Keep ‘‘em coming

[@RegularGuyGarage]

😎 awesome!!

[@santasstang8798]

I’m so with you! I’ve done the same crap with mine. On a A9L!

[@RegularGuyGarage]

Never a dull moment owning a foxbody 🤷‍♂️

[@jimmitchell3331]

Sounds healthy!!!

[@RegularGuyGarage]

So far so good 🤘

[@GearHead704]

Hah! You did change the ignition switch LOL. Thiose cheap after market parts are frustrating for sure. It's awesome you're tuning it yourself though. I think I'm going to mass air convert mine and dyno tune it but one day I may try a system like this. Also somehow I missed you were doing.long tubes. That's bad a$$ dude!

[@RegularGuyGarage]

yea i hate the cheap aftermarket stuff 😒 I was going to do mass air but when I started adding up the costs I figured I would just go with this system because it gives me a lot more options

[@1122rodney]

I can't tune shit and I just installed a terminator x on my 84 c10 ls swap.

[@iamchazhaynes7074]

love that thumbnail man!

[@RegularGuyGarage]

Thanks! I’m getting better at photoshop and just starting to have some fun with it 👍👍

[@victorsalomon3305]

Great videos bud. Tnks! Just got mine what should the distributor timeming should be set to to beging with? I'm thinking 0 degrees since you moved it so much counterclockwise, mine is set to 14 degrees and it looks like the one you started with, hope you see this and give me shoot back before I have to find oit the hard way

[@RegularGuyGarage]

Mine is set at 10* now

[@russellbroadwell]

I have had trouble with aftermarket starter solenoid before. I suggest getting one from ford.

[@joesautorepair9518]

Good job man. Your very persistent with the car. Glad you got it idling. How you like the terminator x so far?

[@RegularGuyGarage]

Thanks. I love the terminator x honestly. Very easy to use

[@79beans347]

That thing sounds sweet what cam do you have in that beast . I'm doing a 347 build but still have a ways to go. Block going to machine shop tomorrow. That was funny as hell when you said that you were steadily adding fuel on the tune when you should have been adding it to the tank 👌🏼😂 bout choked on my drink

[@RegularGuyGarage]

It’s just an F303 cam since I’m planning for boost in the future. And yea I got a good laugh out of myself doing that 😂.

[@blown93vert93]

Hey my man. What's the tire set up. Looking really good ! I just recently bought the Terminator x for my Paxton Novi 302 fox . Can't wait to tweak with the tune and get her going under e85

[@RegularGuyGarage]

They’re 28x10.5s in the rear and 165s up front. Rims are 15x8 and 15x4 I think

[@benricher9717]

thinking up picking up the plug and play kit for my 347. Im over the stock ecu with moates. how do you like this kit so far?

[@RegularGuyGarage]

I love it. Super easy to use

[@Reztek302]

3g alternator that bad boy get your volts up

[@RegularGuyGarage]

It’s on the to do list

[@user-cj8pz2gp2m]

If you have Lean and Rich in idle Check the Evap system

[@RegularGuyGarage]

It’s deleted on this car

[@Connectfarr]

definitely need to move the chevy out from behind car....

[@garysmith2501]

Definitely need to move that fuel jug away from the car when starting, and idling your fox brother.

[@UGGdyno]

I have a terminator on my LS fox, ping me sometime if you want to shoot the breeze over the Terminator.

[@RegularGuyGarage]

Nice! I’ll have to do that. There’s a lot i don’t understand about it

[@angry408w7]

way way way too much work for this. have you looked into the pro m efi?

[@RegularGuyGarage]

I have but didn’t want to spend the money for that

[@angry408w7]

@@RegularGuyGarage its was definitely worth the extra coin and a lot easier to set up than the Holley. i just did the Holley on my friend's mustang. he said the same thing you said about money. there is a lot of extra work with the holley after we finished installing it. and its still not correct. i had my car running properly with the pro m in a matter of minutes.

[@johndoe-zb8bm]

@@angry408w7 Its a lot more than some coinage, almost double the price.But that being said if I had the extra cash pro-m would definitely be my first choice.

[@angry408w7]

@@johndoe-zb8bm pro m has a 0% interest pay plan. i just swapped a cam in my 408. Anderson b31 to a b451 cam. not one change to the fuel/spark tables. still box stock pro m. I also can run my car with or without the sc belt. makes absolutely no difference. same tune same everything. You cant do that with a holley. Yeah its more money, but ask yourself, what is your time and patience worth?

[@johndoe-zb8bm]

@@angry408w7 I agree with you on that. Sometimes you got to pay to play,lol

[@robertwood3970]

Your wideban is too far from the engine, 18" max from head.

[@RegularGuyGarage]

In the collector or after is fine. “If you have long tube headers, mount the sensor approximately 1-10” after the collector. You must have no less than 18 - 24” of exhaust pipe AFTER the sensor.” Straight from the instructions.

This is why I don’t trust youtuber’s read before you write. Thanks for trying though
