Keep me posted on what kind of boost/timing/afr/shifting you do on that motor! I have a fairly "similar" setup. What turbo is it again?
Edit: P.S. I'd KILL for forward swept headers on my setup... AAARRRRGGGHHH
Trannyman I have a GT6152E and the stock wastegate actuator from fullthrottlespeed with an L67 and my wastegate consistently opened around 12.5psi with intense stage 3 heads and a stage 3 turbo cam.
Some simple things to check: Did you check the wastegate puck clearance on the downpipe before...
I ask because I was foolish and got a turbo that is probably a tad on the big side for my application. I want to know if I would see any benefits as far as turbo spool?
I already have a boost controller, and that helps... but please be aware I have a Firebird not a GN (see sig for mods). My...
I've found my breather under real hard long boost runs won't "blow" out but it definatley gets soaked and eventually drips on the header. I've attested this more to the design of the breather than being blown out. I took it off and noticed that it's a straight shot from the center hole up to the...
Bump. I updated the ad: I am willing to also sell my '94 Pontiac Sunbird ~115,000 miles at no additional price with the Firebird. I figure it'd be nice to sell something with it that gets good MPG as well.
Update: I just happened to check under the hood this morning and the EGR valve has a tiny leak where it bolts to the header. Would this really have all that significant of an impact on gas mileage/performance?
I'll see if I can't get to Milan dragway within the next week or two and post up a nice long scan.
I'm also concerned about the mileage I've been getting lately. My fueling overall is darn near perfect and it's the best I can do to get 13mpg. I swear just driving around or letting the car...
I'm not sure how mph correlates to injectors? It should do WOT at 120 in general? Or they can take it to 120 in the 1/4? FYI my GVW on the door says 4200 and add another 200 in stereo crap.
As to the wiring problem, I'm not good with engine wiring troubleshooting. Anyone point me to any...
Situation:
I have a 13psi wastegate. I can't run more than that because 13 or above maxes out my maf (other story). I have a boost controller (greddy profec b-spec II) I'd like to use in order to spool up quicker. My thoughts are if I program the controller to bleed off pressure to the...
231. It's the 3800 Series II block out of a Grand Prix GTP. I'm tossing around a few ideas. I know that even if I shouldn't be maxing out 42.5lbers right now, I'm probably close anyway.
A few members have suggested possible ground or fuel supply issues, and I agree I need to look into that...
