Finally got my battery legally mounted and vented in the trunk so as soon as my new turdblow shows up I can get on a dyno and then get some track time.
. Wrapping up paint correction on the RSX today. Shit looks like a black mirror, well, it is 15 year old original paint, so it looks pretty damn good. Iron X's, clayed, mezerna 2500 with orange pad, mezerna 4500 gray pad, Wolfgang paint sealant.
ugh gotta clean up the valves on the WGs... as they have a little corrosion and is not letting the valve fully open up... creating over boost issues. I took it all apart yesterday... gonna sand them down tonight and re-install them.
My pass side turbo is also leaking a little bit... i am pretty sure is the stupid paper gasket on the return. That turbo is a BISH to take out. grgrgr
Bout got my shit all dialed in now. Sucks ass that I'm limited to 14lbs cause of injector duty cycle on e85. I'm going to try a base of 50-60 and see what happens.
Forgot how fun it was to drive this thing.
And there was a 03-06 viper in town...bitch didn't want to play. Dang it.
Might bump off a race tomorrow with a guy I know that has an old blazer with a ls swap.
I see tons of new 5.0 stangs in town, but not the first one wants to do anything. Thing is, I'm the guy in the right lane going near the speed limit and they the ones driving like a fool, figured they would to up for a little race.
Who has a hook up on Precision turbos? Also, what do you guys think of running a T4 TS gen 2 billet 6266 on a piston/rod K24? What exhaust housing would be best? Im trying to get as much power out of the motor as possible lol
So, bumped my base pressure up from 43 to 55 and retuned, knocked nearly 10% off my duty cycle!
In other news, my plant is shutting down! Bosch and denso own it 50/50, but basically couldn't get along. Now 350 people out of work. Next September is end of production . Anyone needing an engineer with 15 years maintenance experience, lol.
Sorry to hear that broham.
It is hard to find an industry that's stable. I'm in banking and they constantly lay people off and shift stuff around. It's pretty crazy.
I went from Kpro V1 to V4, fucking awesome change. V3 to V4, idk. Bluetooth is handy and live tuning is actually really nice. Also has flex fuel for that e85 powa! Also, I'm utilizing some of the analog I/O for data acquisition on oil temp, oil pressure, fuel pressure that I can plot on my datalogs.
Thats the plug I'm on right now. Best guess is that I'm knocking on 475-500whp range. Gapped around .018-.021, hell I dont remember.lol.
