the pipe side needs to be welded to the bracket with a brace, i noticed mine is bending allready.

puhlees.........

i'll kindly refer you to this thread:https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/drivetrain-79/leaking-clutch-fluid-118271/

got alot of the little issues out last night and was able to start tuning again! hopefully by the end of this weekend i can have everything squared away, but i also have to move to lancaster this weekend so we'll see.

 

you got those pics, btw i sent you an e-mail of stuff to look at.

 

so i changed the cold side piping a bit and had to retune it, here is a screen shot of a quick 2nd gear pull from 40 mph, bear in mind i have no boost controller as i accidently shipped it to germany with all the rest of my stuff so i'm stuck with a 1.2 bar wastegate spring which equals about 15psi at the intake manifold.

 

Geesh. 158 degree IAT2 with only 15 lbs???

 

wow that's kinda high, mine is only @115 degrees at 22 psi.
btw how did that file I sent work out.

 

damn i run 154 at the top of third with 28 psi.

 

that ait is stupid.

i MIGHT cross 120* at the end of 3rd.

 

yeah I know, something isn't right there. either he's pushing the turbo too hard, or his IC setup needs some work.

 

I'm trying to remeber what turbo he has...but i cant rite now.

none the less, i thought it was an SC50, which wouldn't be totally efficient rite there, but at 15psi it shouldent be making **** for heat. the wheel is riding the surge line if anything at that pressure.

 

he has a turbonetics t3/t4oe

 

****, thats even closer to being efficient at 15psi...

 

thats because i just moved back up here to the desert and when i was logging it was hot as hell, the intake manifold was heat soaked as well, gotta look at getting a different intake mani gasket because the manifold is aluminum and gets all the heat from the block.
when under boost the iat2's usually drop to about 120. but not when it is this hot out.

it was definately a good starting point, i have since done a lot of maf tuning, i think i finally have the maf dialed in.

no the turbo is barely breaking a sweat, the gate cracks way early at 15 psi. i'll post some logs running it when it's not 110 degrees out and the car isn't completely heatsoaked from tuning for an hour or so.

yah it's not the turbo, coming off the intercooler the heat is a couple degrees more than outside airtemps, but the intake manifold heatsoaks like a ****.

DOES ANYONE MAKE A COMPOSITE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET FOR US? i have searched and searched with no luck.

 

composite? what kind of material are you looking for? i bet i could get one made of that pholetic materal if need be just not sure how it would seal

 

like one of these but for the lsj ecotec

hmm the piece im thinking about is thinner lol but i think it would work since it resists heat

 

yah i made a gasket today, saw a 40 degree drop in iat2's here's the log, this was from a rolling start to 100mph

 

sorry bro still don't know what im looking at lol, help me out to the important points

 

i posted a log on the last page of a 2nd gear pull, look at the iat2 in the first log compared to the second log. the important things for me is the wb afr vs comd afr, kr, inj duty%, map kpa.

 

ok cool, thats a nice drop in iats, are you gonna use meth or are you already using it?

so whats your commande afr? 11.8 no knock retard ftw

 

yah it's 11.8, nope my meth kit's on it's way to germany with my damn boost controller.

 

hey man you snakes cage really stinks LOL i lost her in the couch (not really lost)

bet you wish you still had those 2 things lol

 

dude did you get her out of the couch?!

yah i definately wish i had the boost controller, i could do without the meth for now.

 

yeah shs out, just let her wander around a lil. no worries so i did some logging and im runnng a 10.2 afr i think it might be a lil less than that

 

ok so you need to start tuning, get it at least up to the 11.3 range.

 

as soon as i figure out how to do that
