finally getting somewhere with the tuning, didn't take many build pics but ill post what I have tonight

 

Glad your getting it figured out. How much psi are you running?

 

3 psi spring in lol, I didn't have time to play with it last night but I couldn't get my zzp bov to open. just keep getting compressor surge, anyone have this problem before/know how to fix it?

 

When fully up and running I'll run around 10psi tho

 

not many pics during the actual build but heres some

downpipe I made, gotta love that miller


gaskets I made for turbo drain flange and vband adapter until I get my new turbine housing


and here's what it looks like now



waiting on a gasket before I put the saab lk9 on, gonna swap the ky stage 3 in sometime over the next couple weeks and have a new turbine housing in the mail then it's officially done.......for a little while

 

never knew 11 psi could be so fun, pushed 35 lb/min ve


I'm having a problem controlling boost tho, one minute I'll get 4psi (spring pressure) next I'll get 11 psi

 

Haha why don't you just have someone tune it?

 

You do know boost control has nothing to do with the tune, right?

 

So your just messing with your boost controller?

 

I talked to Hallman and they said that there was a problem with a batch of controllers going out without the little assembly grease on the spring in the body of it. My thoughts are that it is getting stuck on some pulls and not on others. My map would always either read 132 kpa or 176 kpa (4 ish psi or 11psi).

They said a fingertip of any type of grease on the spring should make it function correctly

 

logged a 6.5s 60-100 with a .75s shift

 

Are you making yourself a sheet metal intake or just going to run the 2.4, which I've heard may be for sale soon...

 

I'm gonna be running the saab LK9 intake manifold, so yes the 2.4 manifold will be for sale soon

 

KY stage 3 in!

So much stiffer than the ky stage 1 and stock, I like it. Can't wait to break it in and see what this thing can go

 

Crank this bitch to 25 psi already!

 

haha I know I'm slacking. 10psi felt amazing though, like almost scary fast. I just want this clutch to get broken in!

 

Lol what turbo again I forget?

 

comp 5556

Comp Turbo - Billet Wheel CT2-5556

 

so I'll be dynoing next weekend, 11 psi on a very conservative E85 tune (once 80's are in)

who wants to guess whp?

 

what shop you dynoing at?

 

I live in buffalo now not albany but its innovative tuning. you live in albany?

 

Ehhh 310

 

deff me happy with that, I just want 300whp. but I wouldn't be mad about anything over that

 

Grew up in Buffalo, live in albany now. Add 20whp to all your guesses since it's innovative! Happy dyno!

Get that thing to empire after your dyno to see how it goes down the 1/4!

 

haha nice! yeah it is a happy dyno. Im thinking about bringing it to john d's shop too just to see the difference in numbers.

but i'll deff be going to empire, probably next friday if tuning the 80's goes well!

If I'm ever back in albany well have to meet up man
