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.

FARKENHELLIJUSTWANTONE!!!

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
