Gotta tune it then I can start it up for the first time... It's alive. Still gotta hook up the exhaust and figure out the boost controller before I take it for a drive though. It's idling at like 1500, hopefully that's cuz it has no back pressure...

 

Set at 7K right now

 

holy hell! try dialing it back a bit. are you using aftermarket valve springs as well?

 

When I start it up the dic says eng power reduced. Does that have to do with the tune or is it from not having exhaust hooked up yet?

 

i had that cel show up cause i forgot to plug back up the bank 1 o2. that may not be your problem but you want to triple check all your electronic connections and your intake piping. leave no stone unturned or you may suffer a fate not unlike mine.

 

These are the codes i'm getting. P1516, P0036, P2101, and P2610. One is for the rear O2 so that should be an easy fix. The other ones are with the throttle or something.

 

Engine Power Reduced is most likely the tune. Have you got a tune yet? Also double check to make sure your TB is working. I'm not familiar with turbo's though. Are you using your stock TB or a different TB? If you are using a different TB your wiring may be messed up causing the TB to not work.

 

I uploaded the base tune and I'm using the stock throttle body.

 

Hmm well I'm not sure then since I barley know enough to get me by with a SC. Turbos are a whole different language to me. I would ask your tuner about the engine power reduced, and for the TB I would double check make sure your charge piping is on good and just triple checked every hose and bolt, incase you missed something.

 

the base tune got me up and running so i son't see why you should be any different. go back and re-check everything and i mean everything.

 

No, It loves 7k too much that's where all the power really get squeezed out at. All stock internals for the moment. I've had it go to 7400 before and havn't had a problem.

 

everything is tight and right.... I just sent vince a datalog of it idling so hopefully I can drive it home today and have it for the weekend...

 

thats because your granny shifting,not double clutching like you should

 

on my first blown engine i cracked the #4 rod at 7500 rpm. not looking to do anything like that again..........................

 

I'm not telling you to do it to your car... You've blown more than one?

 

i'd have to say yeah by default. although i find it hard to accept a failing fuel pump as my fault, but alas it is my car so my fault just the same.

 

He coulda gave you my base tune? humm well glad you got it idling.

 

I'd blame the failed fuel pump on GM honestly, They did send something out to everyone about the fialing fuel pump though as a Re-call. Either way still sucks. You will have to let me know once you get everything back together and running how your tranny is holding up though. Very curious to see what Vince has to say when you can't shift at WOT.

 

Sounds to me like the tuner needs to fix the shifting issues.
Mine shifts just fine at WOT and yours should too.

 

What it sounds like to me to...
Are you an auto putting down over 260WHP?

 

Won't know till wednesday evening.

 

Cool you will have to post in here and let me know then.

 

I'm just starting to learning all this electronic tranny stuff.
Something has to be messed up in the tune on your shift problems.
I mean these are just some of the WOT shift properties.

 

Wow, nice... Yeah that's what I told Vince... But he is convinced that I am overpowering the tranny. He says their is someone with a TVS who is having the same problem. I know my tranny is good till 350 WTQ... I might be pushing 280 and that's on the high side I would think. It's hard to tell him that something is wrong with the tune when he says I'm overpowering the tranny...
We even set it back to stock and tested it and it did not have the same problem... then we put it back to the same settings I had it on but shifting at 6500 and it still had the same problem. Which has me convinced that it is the tune...

 

The new tune didn't work. What else can I do to get my car running again....
