I'm on flood duty so I can't really do a log till i get back. I will tell him to turn the idle up and see if that helps any. if not i'm saving up for hptuners and trying it myself!

for the record i resent this statement. i'm loving my built 10.1 on boost.
WELL GOOOD! haha

Resent it all you want... You're fully built, he isn't. If he had a fully built motor then I would tell him to go for it, but the sleeves wont like the high boost and compression. Stock sleeves aint that strong unfortunately. That's why I went with the 8.9 too!

E85 doesn't reduce boost or compression... temps will be cooler.

which is what saves the sleeves..higher boost and compression makes more heat which is what kills the sleeves

well, the fix may have worked but i won't know until we get this trans code knocked out. looks like my final drive gearing is giving the tcm **** and it falls into limp mode.

I got home from flood duty today lol. I asked vince to raise the idle and he said he wanted to try disabling the maf before we try that. Needless to say I made it 3 blocks and the car stalled... ugh

at the moment only 5psi because the 60's are maxxed on E85. I had previously been running 14psi on a "57trim" ebay turbo.

Well, I can tell you for sure the stalling is one of the following:



Fuel supply problem (e.g. fuel rail pressure falls due to pump issue)



Fuel injector wiring problem



In the log, it was running fine, and the fuel “disappeared”. O2 sensor went off the scale lean, trims went through the roof, and it stalled because there was no fuel.



But the injector constant looks good the way it is. You can revert to the previous tune with the MAF enabled, send a new log, and I’ll make any final changes to the MAF curve.

Well I guess i'm gonna have to get a fuel pressure gauge and check fuel pressure at the rail and see if that's the probem. Ugh I should have just gotten an lsj fuel pump instead of messing with this duetchworks one that didn't fit in the first place like it was supposed to! ugh

LSJ fuel pump is the same as L61 fuel pump... slightly different fit. Part numbers are only off by one number. Good lukc though conerboner...


No wonder why you're running fine 07cobaltguy. It's not till you get into the higher PSI that my car starts to eff up I'm running 10PSI right now... On a tune that's meant for 20 PSI. STUPID RICH. Vince evidently doesnt want to fix it though.

It seems to be okay on 13 when it's hot out but during winter months the car hates 13 PSI... I was on 17 PSI a week ago and the car hated it if you step on it instantly but if I rolled into it and slowly brought it up to 17PSI then it would hold till about 5 grand and misfire, cough, and choke...

that's weird mine was running better in the cold lol

What I don't get is my car was running good on pump gas and then when I switched to e85 it started this crap.

From what I've read I believe the cut off is 15 psi for us 2.2's, then you have to get crazy on tuning from what dave told me. If you go past that your gonna have issues to work out. BTW my car is not having tuning issues, im just down for stupid SPEC clutch. How bar map sensors are you guys running. I'm currently on 2 bar, but would switch to 3 bar if I wanted to up boost from 14.5 psi
