Mine could probably be fixed if the dealer had a clue as to what they were doing.... Lmao

 

thats usally how it goes, they know nothing about the car so they look up the details on there computer and go by that...usally **** a thing or two up in the process

 

Yup lol...that's for sure. I'm pretty sure the bpv is weak or it's not seating right because when I'm at full boost, I can hear an air leak coming from the intake due to it magnifying everything that goes on inside the turbo. Once they replace the bpv I'll know more.

 

here what i did today not bad for a 4 cyl also its down buy at least 100wtq but it set up for mph for boost and by rpm i can get more boost sooner

will post another graph when i have more time for tuning i just did a injector swap what making a few pull to 600 to make sure the air fuel was corect and decided to break the maritime record again msy try for 800 if i have more time

also i had forgot to add this is on full street car whit full exaust whit just race fuel and more boost 17 psi 550 21 psi 640 and that graph was at 27 psi but i was just increasing the boost not much tuning it still a bit rich will tune it at the track if needed

 

Good job Danny, can't wait to see it next weekend!

so excited to see this bad boy this weekend!!!

 

I so wish i could head out to greenfield this weekend but i cant . Got pads and rotors replaced under warranty today.. Now i need new tires.. Thinking toyo because i can finance them through the military.. Anyone ever run toyos?

 

I plan on replacing my tires this winter when my winters go on and rims are powdercoated. Can't wait to put new colored rims and rubber on for next spring!

What dealership did that for you? I was at O'Regans and they didn't even want to take the time to look at my brakes when i wanted them to check them because of everybody saying what was going on.

 

you ment marmichi?? thats where it is this weekend

 

You are in the military? We have never runned toyo's but we have runned cooper tires and they were the ****,best tires ever

 

I think greenfield has races this weekend too.. Getting toyo proxes T1R. $1,400 installed balanced and warrantied taxes in.. Financed through canex.. Mike i actually took it to cornwallis... The same place that turned jerren away...Oreagans will replace the pads under warranty but wanted me to pay the labour and pay to have them turned...cornwallis did brakes and pads.. Both brand new under warranty

 

i did that same thing with the canex for my winter tires on the Z. Paid 1500 and now trying to sell them..lol

 

Well...I went to ravens yesturday to have my car datalogged. He said the fuel trims were -7.5 at wot, I'm showing 2-3 degrees of knock throughout the entire rpm range and my boost graph looks like a flight of stairs until I hit max boost. I'm waiting for James to send it to me them I'm gonna send the datalog to term on here. If we can't figure something out then I'll put the car back to stock and give head office of gm another shout. They will then send someone down to look at the car. If it comes to that, there will be parts forsale because if I get it working again, I'll leave it alone and put the car up forsale. This way I can get something that I won't have to worry about, breaking down every other day. I have had my fair share of bad luck with this car and I baby the ******* thing.

Anyhow I'll keep everyone posted. I should have the datalog tomorrow to send off to term and he will know just by looking at it if it's something relatively easy to fix or if it's something to let the dealer deal with. Could be pulling the intake, charge pipes and intercooler off as early as Sunday.

 

wow, with the amount of bashing people did about james, im surprised you went to him. Hopefully it works out for you, what are you going to get if you sell the balt?

 

I'm not sure yet. I may just not get anything for a while so I can save up some money and get something nice, may try to get an evo 9 or evo x or wait a while and get a new 5.0 stang. Have to see alot of variables in to play here.

James seems to think that my car is putting out way more than torque management will allow, so there for, the computer is set to cut my power by 50%. if that is the problem, a tune will fix that.

 

Thats out of the blue compared to other guesses. I've just been trying to figure out how one car can have that problem with 'to much power' and the other doesn't? I'm not saying he's an idiot for thinking that or you are, simply just confused that other cars with similar mods do not have that same problem? I know every car is different, but still, thats a big difference to have within cars. If it is the case, could the problem lie within the tune or ecu?

 

That's exactly what I'm thinking..... The problem has to be with the ecu it's self or the tune.

On a side note my new bpv came in and I'm taking the car to the dealer tomorrow to get it put in.

 

well thats what i been saying from the start, something wrong with the tune.

 

Well if what James said is true, then it definitly is, because i don't have that problem, Chris and Chris both don't have that problem, and we all have GMS1. Needless to say it is a valid point, so it may lie within the computer.

 

I hope we can get this figured out soon. It's driving me nuts

 

Well after months of misplacing my pulley and belt after I moved to the house, and also being lazy, I finally got everything on my car, huge thanks to Brent aka HEATON for doing this for me at his home garage. We got the meth working as well, the car feels better than ever!

 

another update, well sort of: just got a call from my boss. I might be going to Edmonton soon for 2 weeks work. One of our branches up there are on strike and they need people to work. I already said yes, let's hope they need me to go. Flight, hotel, food and rental car is paid for 2 weeks (and my regular pay of course) They would be lodging me next to West Edmonton Mall.

 

lol, isnt that ironic, i come to NB and you come to AB..lol

 

yeah really, ha

 

Im convincing the gf to buy me a gmpp cat-back exhaust system for my birthday in sept. hope it works! ha
