Re: Fixin' the Blown HG (Pg. 59) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Install Thread!!
yeah I watched the video, it doesn't look that fast. Let us know how it goes after tuning at higher psi's

Re: Fixin' the Blown HG (Pg. 59) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Install Thread!!
No it wasn't that fast because in the videos the WG wasn't hooked up correctly so I would lean completely out and detonate at about 5200 RPMs. Which is why I'm in the middle of a HG replacement.
I'll have to agree with you there March. I'll dyno it eventually, but it's really more about how fast it can rip down the strip than how much it's putting down at the wheels at this point.
It's cold out. I don't wanna go work on my car....

Bleh. I don't care if my car runs better in the cold. I don't. Makes my lungs hurt and my nose runs.
I'm done.
Got everything put back together, wired up, plumbed in, blah blah blah. The only thing I left to do tomorrow is double check everything, fill up the radiator, and put the lights and front bumper back on. I'm too tired tonight to be sure that I didn't forget to tighten something so I'll wait till tomorrow when I get home from work to do the last little bit.

Re: Fixin' the Blown HG (Pg. 59) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Install Thread!!
for a second when i scrolled down to write in my quick reply, i thought the POST REPLY button above that said CLOSED.. wouldnt that just be the end of civicforums.com if this thread got closed out of nohwere LOL thats funny..
i forgot what i was goig to post tho.. probablky something like good job and good luck and cant wait for the next step..yea and i kinda picked up the whole caps lock LOL from this thread too... sorry lol
good luck anyway and hope thats the end of the problems until tuning.. hey..can u explain something?
how does that work.. u drive around for a little bit and log the data, then send it to the tuner and he tweaks it from there, then sends u a zip of what ur map should look now, then u put that into ur ecu (?) and then u go out for another run and etc etc?? u jus keep going on and on until everything is at the best possible.. tweak? i guess i duno... clarify please.. thanks
Re: Fixin' the Blown HG (Pg. 59) - The Speedfoos' Turbo Install Thread!!
That's exactly the process Jose. We tune for different types of driving - from idle, to driving in vacuum, to driving at boost at partial throttle, and then at WOT. It seems to be working well so far!

LOL George - gotta have a little comedy in all these threads of "Search noob!!" and "Dude your car looks like shit, burn those altezzas."
Like I said, I'll drop them in the mail tomorrow for you.
I'm in the middle of tuning for 9 psi right now. Gonna give Chris a call to make sure he stops wrenching on Drew's car to give my tune a little lovin'! Thank God my wireless reaches into the garage!

First datalog is in Chris' hands and I'm just waiting for the new map to clear the hotmail and yahoo servers so I can upload it and run another datalog as he made some adjustments while I was on the phone with him and sent it back. My car is having a couple minor issues with SRT-4s since they flow twice as much fuel as stock. It's going to take a bit of tweaking to get them just right.
