Do I expect to much?

[BOP4ever]

I am shipping the turbo TE44 to bison for rebuilding this week if I can get it packed up. I pulled the compressor cover and there was no contact so all should be good on that side. I forgot to match mark the cover hope that's not a problem. Took actuator off too.
I put the hoses back on right this time too I didn't get it all on the first time I was in a hurry . I also backed the rod out 3 full turns to reduce the boost back to 20-23 psi. I don't feel my parts are junk and with the TE44 a 2800 stall built tranny TT chip bigger injectors . Hot wired pump I think is s pretty matched combo or I've been mislead since I owned the car...

Maybe I'm not keeping up. I read you are running a stock turbo with a chip burned for a te44. Am I on track here? The issue you are having is not running well. I don't think anyone posted that your parts are junk.

A 44 with alcohol should net you a high eleven second slip with traction and decent weather. If you do some tuning and all your stuff "lines up" you can get to the low elevens I would think.

Just bolting on some parts and expecting it to run the number is a pipe dream. If it does it is just luck.

I'll post it again, get your parts together and tune, tune, tune. Stop changing things and get what you have rolling. One change at a time is more than enough.

No problem I am running my stock turbo until I get my 44 back from Bison.
I understand it's not a bolt together and run I have to tune.

Give the GN community a break and don't do any racin' until the 44 is back on.

I feel your pain in destroying a good hood liner. I did the same thing and eventually had to make my own boost brace to hold the up-pipe on. Now I can run 30+psi and my new hood liner ($$$) is still intact.

Got a picture of this brace?

What do I need to run that fast?
I've read some on here running about that with stock long blocks and a TE44,
I'd be happy with 115 trap speeds for now, that's at least enough to run with a new mustang,

Thanks

I trapped 115.5 with an unopen motor, 24psi, alky, and 18' of timing in a heavy car.

Sounds like the issue I had after installing alky 2 years ago with your combo except for a ta49 instead of a 44. Your car ran better when it was colder because the the air helped lean it out some.

You have to tune the alky kit in. No way that it will need the gain on even 6 or up anywhere near 7.5. The narrowband numbers sucked for me getting it dialed in, 770 was around 10.4-10.6 afr with the denso I'm using. When I checked it with the wideband it was way too much alky.

Get the alky kit tuned in and it will wake the car up...

Here's my thread on it:

I would seriously look at wide band for helping you get the tune. The other thing that might be hurting you is the converter. It may be slipping bad and/or not stalling to 2800.
