damn man i want a turbo so bad,,, any problems with tuning the car at all??

 

****'s fast. i got a ride in it the other day. Pulls hard.

 

are you saying taking the MAf out? or what? i dont get it

 

it creates a situation where the MAF cannot read the airflow because its too much in too small a space. The MAF is functional but has limitations to how much airflow it can read.

 

So basically i just remove it then?

 

no I just have it in too small a pipe and it is maxing out. I need to put it in a 3" pipe so the velocity of the air slows down a little to readable speeds by the stock maf.
DO NOT TAKE OUT YOUR MAF
unless you figure out away to speed density tune the car properly

 

If I was up there I would fix it for you since I have no car to work on right now! Then we could crank that **** up to 20psi and rock those SRT-4's!

The Integra is running great and is tuned now, and the Cobalt is awaiting it's TS back, so I'm in limbo at the moment!

 

you can come put together my turbo kit and tune it for me?

 

i thought SD would be available for the lsj's. it's not. makes me sad.

anyways, if you get close to maxing the maf with the 3 inch. jump up to a 3.5

 

Is there anyone that can help me with the install in the chicagoland? I will pay them and stuff, but i need some help fo sho!

 

Well found one problem today. Of course the one thing I didn't put in and didn't double check was the MAF, and of course, it was in backwards,, lol. but I dunno how the car was running so well before. But anyway, actually made an almost 100% throttle run tonight with mezzano from here (he'll probably chime in later) and torque steer at 100mph is nuts.,.. almost lost control of the car on a WOT 2nd gear pull (streets aren't the smoothest) and still now only at 18psi. **** is gonna be nuts.... may not dyno on sunday though since it still isn't running the way I'd like it to, but I may be able to get it right by then, we shall see.

 

WOW! i cannot wait to finish mine dude, u keep telling all these sweet ass stories, and everytime i nut myself and cant wait to finish my project!!! ahhhh

 

well dyno day was postponed til the 21st so now hopefully I'll be able to get it fully tuned and put down some real numbers for you guys

 

Yes, the car gods are telling you to do it right Paul. Go Paul Go! Oh, and if you ever make a mistake like that again we'll have to - rep point you! Don't make me do it Paul...!!!

Good deal on figuring out that detail man. Glad to hear it's running a lot better. Hey, it happens to the best of us. Kinda llike my vacuum line on the TS swap I screwed up. Once it was fixed though, holy *****!

 

Now that you are almost able to go WOT we need a current vid.

 

agreed

 

I just want to see what torque steer a 100 is like!

 

i agree, vids ASAP or banned!

 

I"ll try to get some tomorrow night, if not definitely on saturday. **** is a scary ride lol. Still not quite there yet, but it's damn close

 

and what size turbo are you running?

 

It is available, but a pain to work with from what I have heard. Plus you are limited by cylinder fill making you have to tune off the VE Table in high boost areas. Blown 4-banger tinkered with his for a while with the 2.6" but eventually reverted back to MAF tuning.

 

yeah it is a pita, but I need to do something to get this thing running right. but it's getting close.

 

Super 60...

 

I'm gonna buy a Super Duper 60 or Super 61 and be faster...

Ok, maybe that wasn't funny. Buuuuutttt.......it is Friday YAY!!!

 

lol thank god
