some ppl told me i can some said the same as you. vince tuned me

 

doesnt matter who tuned you.the lowest boost you can go to is what was set in the wastegate on the LNF.A boost controller bleeds off wastegate pressure which increases boost.So by adding a boost controller and having it on its lowest setting,it will be the same as what you are running now.

 

so what do you suggest?

 

^^^^

 

yup^^

 

So my car has been making this strange valvetrain noise for a while. Replaced both timing chain tensioners andnothing. I think it could be my lash adjusters or oil pump not providing enough oil to them, I have never thrown a low oil pressure light so im leaning more towards adjusters. There's a vid in the link below of the noise. Any suggestions?

no one wants to help me out with my question in post #4856?! https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/6480961-post4856.html

 

stock oil filter?

 

??? what about a stock oil filter?

 

Aftermarket oil filters can cause knock at startup.

o lol, but no its an oem oil filter lol. very interesting though

 

so im currently on stock pulley and stock ss/sc injectors. there is not to many e85 stations near me closest is like 10 min out of the way and the other is 20 min.

so i was thinkin 3.1 pulley 42# injectors and jus on 93 octane premium thinks i should be fine???

im currently on a basic sc tune by trifecta and have a pretty big after market heat exchanger, dual pass, full exhaust, k&n intake, and have a interceptor gauge on the way i currently push 10psi btw

 

Im thinking you have an oiling issue, causing head/timing issues. I wouldnt rely on oil light coming up, cause when mine died barely had a quart in her no light, no cel. maybe oil pump/pickup, but i think you said pan was clean. have you checked return line from turbo. For some reason your not getting oil to head I believe. Talked with Dave about this a little this morning. My personal opinion, don't know if its your prob or not, is the l61/lap pan suck for turbo setup when pushed hard. Got an lnf trap door from powell and raised my return bung as high as could go, and my oiling issues are gone.

 

so u think my turbo isnt letting enough back into the pan not letting the rest of the motor provide oil? and what is an LNF trap door lol. thanks for the input

 

do you think this is high enough for the return line?

 

^^^ yea thats how mine is too :/

 

I have LNF oil pan, modded to keep the oil in bottom of pan and into pickup at all times (designed for heavy track use). Also use modded LNF dipstick. Ryan for you Dave said your problem was exaggerated on the incline of the dyno, why Im thinking it has to do with return backing up. Also I believe my turbo is mounted much lower than you guys with zzp mani, not sure what difference this could make.
For reference:

 

ooooooooooo i see what ur saying. so should i try and shorten my return line or get the lnf trap thing like you have? ill test that incline theory today too, very interesting and thank you for the help so far lol
