Re: 1st Start-up video on Page 33!!! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
Yeah the hood slamming was pretty damn funny!
How do I feel? That's a good question.
I'm not pissed, I'm disappointed (Dad, I know you're reading this and that's a direct quote!).
Ummm, but honestly, now comes the troubleshooting part that I expected. I have some unknowns here and I need to sit and think a bit on how to go about fixing them. Starting tomorrow night, I'm going to double-check everything. The most worrysome is that my ECU appears to be acting up and I think there may be a problem in the PCS harness.
I'm not getting a tach reading, my OBD scanner won't interface, and the car runs like crap. It's getting fuel, it's getting spark, and it's getting air, however there's a problem with the fuel and spark that doesn't appear to be mechanical. I've had three different sets of injectors in there, and two sets of plugs and it runs the same on all them. Shitty. So I don't know. I'm about to upload the third video once it finishes converting and then I'm going to bed.
I think the ECU is in limp mode. After watching the third vid, it's bouncing like a redline, which is probably why it shows the lean-out. If I had a damn working tach, I'd be able to tell for sure.
If anyone has any ideas on what to do this point, I'd appreciate it. 3rd vid is almost done converting and then it will go up to Youtube and be posted here.

good goin' man, way to get her runnin'! It does sound like hell, but its like getting born again with a bigger dick, you aren't really sure what to do with it, but once you do, watch out. Grats again man!
Re: 1st Start-up video on Page 33!!! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
man, congrats on the startup, have u cried at all, i would have by now, wish i knew how i could help ya, if the tach isnt working, check the alternator fuse, i bet its blown, or it could be from the alternator not being plugged in, but the alternator fuse is the same as the gauges, so it could be that, if not i dont know what to tell u

Re: 1st Start-up video on Page 33!!! - Speedfoos' Turbo Install
i think clint is sexy. hell yea..
the car going rich and lean repeatedly is normal clint. the car is probably in open loop. thats why partial throttle boosting is risky business on piggy backs.
