I*ts still fighting, Longest labor pains i ever saw. mick the magician is working through the bugs one by one.

Couldnt get it to rev past 4500 initially. Brand new plugs were cracked, one completely broke when we pulled it out.

Fixed that. got it running, dosed it to 5000 rpm and it went spastic, 30 lb of boost and mass power. WTF. Seems some clown hooked up the wastegate incorrectly. :P:no::P:( I think the cat did it. ;) Fixed that and started real time tuning. almost there with the run in tune. Had to turn it off because of the noise curfew. Still way rich, no timing, low boost at 6900 rpm making 296 hp atw.

Gonna finish the run in tune tomorrow morning. gotta love micks final shot before the night. "f**k this thing is gonna make some fat when we start power tuning" hmmmmm, Aint that what we built it for. :laughing-smiley-014:

whats low boost noel? fk me 30lb boost, wheelspin tyre smoke and flamage out the back end?? haha make sure you post that chart up noel or atleast shane n e way.

Low boost will be 18 lb for daily and 25 lb for hipo Adam. thats what it was built for and it will do it all day long unless i am mistaken. It has all the gear to do it and do it safely.

The engine has a good feel to it. I think its a winner. I am going to predict somewhere around the 375/380 rwkw on hi boost. :whistling:

I just blew, shit myself and em having the tantric moment atm.....

one word.

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
