do not plug the valve cover. for sub 400whp the oil cap breather with the valve cover ran to the intake will be fine. for anything more it needs to be opened up

 

Ah okay I could do that, that's a good idea. Thanks man. And I'm talking about this dude right here, Easy Performance - MAF Extension Harness #EP-MAF-EX-HNS-CBT
I'm not sure if I'll need it or if the MAF sensor wire will be long enough to reach the tube with the MAF port in it.

 

What piping are you going to be running?

 

I'm going to be running 3" aluminum piping from the turbo outlet to the throttle body, no intercooler since I'm running the turbo adapter plate.

 

 

such a small air filter. lol

 

I came back with less power I'm doing a compression and leak down test tomorrow to see how bad it is. Threw everything at the car today and still couldn't pull the old numbers of 413 and 382 so I assume I got low compression in one cylinder. Probably going to do a delete kit and rods,pistons, and rings and install my valve springs depending on the tests results

 

rebuild time. Dont be upset though man, it just comes with these motors. The rings/ringlands and pistons just suck. Hope your cylinder walls are good, if not mrbelvedere sleeved my block for a great price out the door and they are thicker and have better tolerances than diamond pistons to stock sleeves (too much slop). I did a full rebuild (my first full engine build) over the winter and after my first 900 miles checked the compression on a cold motor and got 180 psi, with a cap of oil I got 210 all the way around.

 

Shortbus if your still interested i am going to sell the ZFR Turbo at this point.
Tried to push it a little on E85 but still not happy.

So the ZFR is up for sale again.

 

I'm not mad I just didn't expect it to come this soon, and I only drive the car in the summer hahah so it don't get much use but oh well

ALso which company sells a balance shaft delete kit i thought one did.

 

I need to get dynod! I'm running 22psi and hp tuned by infaredline haha what are your guys guesses

 

I used delete sleeves from levelzeromotorsports and had mongorat cut off a set of balance shafts and send them to me. The bolt that holds the delete cogs are a pain since you dont have anything to grab onto to tighten the bolts on the end of the gear now that the shaft is cut off but if you install them in the motor first then tigten the bolt with loctite its a lot easer. Whole thing cost me 80 bucks for the sleeves fromlevel zeromotorsports and the deletes were free.

 

if you are on E or Meth ~ 420
if on 93 only ~ 375

 

Just ordered a MHI 20g rebuild kit. Its the only thing I havent tried and the car is just stupid strong to about 10 psi then breaks up. Oil is starting to spit from the bov so if oil is passing seals then it wont allow the film of oil to spool the turbo since its Journal bearing. Cant wait to crack it open.

 

not on a 252 on 22psi lol. i would say more like 330-340

 

Blazin what vacuum line did you T your boost gauge off of?

 

I used my evap fitting on the TB since I deleted the evap system during the turbo build.

 

i have one coming off the manifold to the fuel pressure regulator and it's t'd off of there

 

hey guys quick question, im running out of maf scale. would it be better to add to the scale or buy a Mini AFC from zzp ?

 

i'm runnin the mini. works just fine for me

 

what are you running the mini at? tim@zzp suggested 5% and id be good. but how long is that good for? i know my injectors are close to maxing out now so ill be upgrading to the ID1000s soon. im on e85. also feel like im still having coil pack problems. or my 1 step colder plugs are gapped to small at .28 has anyone else had problems blowing up a coil pack?

 

i couldn't tell ya to be honest. that stuff is above my head for the time being. i'd have to take a look at it.

 

I am a step colder (BKR7E 4644) and running at .028 E85 on 80lb stock fuel system, just injectors and I ran out of fuel at about 420 hp at 7000 rpm@ 22 psi. I plan on getting a BRFPS nothing more and running the 20g at 25psi next.

No coil pack issues car is running like a raped ape.

 

I see the Mini AFC uses dip switches, why do this instead of going into the table and ajusting in HPT? Just wondering in case I need to scale down the road. Always trying to learn something here.

 

is it ET? My bad I thought I read 256 somewhere.

EDIT, never mind its in the sig. with a 252et he should be 350 my best guess.
