just don't get an after market boost gauge and you won't have to see it

 

Good call. Stock boost gauge is going back in! And it reads in gay kpa so I really won't know what's going on

 

2 bar all day long!

 

Stock boost gauge sits at 0 though on a 2.6/TVS :/

 

So I woke up in the middle of the night will a possible reason for my higher boost. (No idea why). When I ordered my TVS from OTTP I did it over the phone with josh. When the pre shipped invoice came it had 2.8" pulley on it. I told josh on more than one occasion to make sure he changes that and sends me a 2.9" because that's what I wanted to start with. Got my TVS with the pulley on it and thought nothing of it. So this morning I grab my M62 2.8" and mock it beside my TVS pulley. Same. Damn. Size. Ohhh josh you need more helping hands at OTTP lol. So it looks like I'm running a 2.8" not 2.9".

 

I have a 2.9 if you really want one more then a 2.8?

 

Thanks for the offer but im just gonna stick with the 2.8". I just wanted to start with the 2.9" to see what I could run with it and allow me to upgrade when I got bored haha. Which has already happened lol. I got my hands on a head so I'm just saving up to go get it ported.

 

Pulley it up and rev it out...

Add timing where it wants to be, and enjoy efficiency

 

im still running a 2.7 and gonna rev her out watch me

 

 

What in your opinion is an efficient pulley size?

 

depends on your head work/pulley combo

 

I'd probably be doing the same at one point until I get tired of spinning @ 60mph

 

You have to look @ it like this...

The TVS has a max continuous rpm around 18000 rpm

It still being a roots even with the 180* twist, anything past 17-18 PSI and it's generating ridiculous amounts of heat, as seen on anything smaller than a 3" pulley.

If your head work supports it,
- rev as high as you can
- Pulley accordingly so that by redline your seeing max 18-20 psi
- These cars don't really see much difference between 11.6-12.2 AFR in terms of hp. Do your EGTs a favor and stick to 11.6-11.8 AFR

- Most importantly, *** IF THE OCTANE PERMITS*** **VERY IMPORTANT** Add timing where it wants to be added... Hop on the dyno, set up a weak flat timing advance table to find peak cylinder pressure @ X RPM. Then build your timing table around that one point.

***Note: You can pulley down further to make more torque in the mid range. Your needle bearings will hate you, your thermal temps will sky rocket, and anything that will hate you, will hate you for doing so.***

 

Good info right there.

 

I dont think I could pulley back up lol. I put the 2.9 on this spring and was planning on running it for a while anyways....took it off that same night and put the 2.7 back on. I had a lot of fun the first time on the 2.9 but I just missed the power of the 2.7 after I made the switch back.

 

Your really only missing the torque... grab some cams already

 

Im missing the power and tq across the curve lol its about a 10-15whp difference from 3k all the way to redline. Hopefully do cams and ATI this coming winter. Gotta get coilovers too. Too many things to buy!

 

I have everything sitting...

- Forged 9.5:1 diamonds (coated top/skirt)
- Total Seal rings
- ATI balancer
- CIA Coated Midlength w/ 3" cut out
- GMR cams w/ bates solid lifters, supertech valve springs
- GMPP clutch w/ tob... oem flywheel
- rod/crank bearings
- extra set of LSJ rods
- OEM head gasket
- ARP Head studs...
- Bal. shaft delete...
- A ported head a **** star would use

I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff

 

Hell of a list, when you think your going to get it put together?

 

i could prolly pulley up on mine but i dont really ever get on my car so it really doesnt hurt ..jus makes for a kinda quick DD

 

Just leave it alone... and keep your needle bearings lubricated

 

ARP has one of my rods, trying to source me an ARP bolt for them.

Short block was just tanked, need to balance the assembly and assemble.

 

the maintnence is there lik i said i really dont beat the hell outta my car if ppl usually try n get me to race i jus do a nice rollin burnout and let them hear the whine and then they usually stop but ocassionaly i do lik to race

 

Put it together and get your ass up here....
