well thankd then...took alot of work

got drain figured out and started car it idled fine but but if i reved car it would break up...took couple mins after checking plugs, then dizzy to realize i think my problem could be the month old 87 octane gas in my tank..so draing tank and filling with 93 and splash of 110 should hopefully fix issue then i can drive over to the tuner to get it dialed in on the dyno

its a pain in the ass with the 4 inch exhaust housing but hopefully its worth it the first 3rd gear pull i do..If you need and help let me know i have a he341 now and a he351 that i may upgrade to if i see the need

caseyhamm68 · 03-20-2010, 04:44 PM

ok well drained the tank put in fresh plugs and the car idles better but now when i gets warm it falls on its face then dies..it also doesnt start great so i think my phearble base map isnt very good for my setup

caseyhamm68 · 03-21-2010, 01:46 PM

well fixed the idle issue i guess if the black box isnt plugged it wont idle very good...but im still not showing any vaccum at idle..ive checked but have found no leaks

my hy has the 5 bolt exhaust housing not the 4" vband i thinnk i would of prefered the vband but hy 35's are hard to find. Im fabricating my own mini ram so its probly goin to be a pain in my ass gettin the turbo enough clearance and having it drain ok. Im way slooower than you tho so check my build in about a month for solid progress.

Good luck! my phearable basemap ran good but i was on all stock internals and just small garrett with 440's.

edit- just realized youre from pittsburgh! Im just north of you about 45 minutes. Where are you planning on going for tuning?

caseyhamm68 · 03-21-2010, 04:05 PM

yeah cast or log mani is the only thing that gives enough clearance

yeah my new oil drain fitting didnt solve the poor drain angle..so i got another pan today and started to work with cleaning and seeing how low i can go in the pan...i filled the oil pan iwth 4 qts of water and i thnk i can go about 1/2 inch to 1 inch lower..so we will see..i just dont want the drain to be under oil. Even though when running only about 2-3 qts will be in the pan still do want to chance it..so hopefully tm at work i will weld in another fitting and test fit a ribber line and see if it will work..also got figure out no vaccum at idle..i dont have a air compressor at home so i cant use my air intake leak checker so i will go with some ol carb cleaner method and see if i can find some leaks

V-band FTW. Makes everything look cleaner. And the quick disassembly isn't too bad either.

caseyhamm68 · 04-13-2010, 07:11 PM

ok guys im getting crazy pissed trying to get this car running..i cleaned iac valve, adjusted tps, installed new plugs gapped them, still wont idle well and sounds like its under water when you rev it up..i pulled new plugs out after it ran for couple mins and 1 and 4 where very sooty black and 2-3 looked brand new still..any ideas? just tow it too the tuner?

caseyhamm68 · 04-14-2010, 03:03 PM

Boosted_1 · 04-14-2010, 04:36 PM
