this has probably been covered before but i cant find anything covering my specific issues..

have a 32 normal mods fmic, turbo back 3inch exhaust, elec boost controller (gizmo ebc), 25 neo turbo running 13psi

the other nite went for a drive boosted fine.

the next day it wasnt hitting 13 psi but would still come on boost good and hold say 11-12 psi then when u set a higher setting on the boost controller it would hold a higher boost. so when set to 13psi sometimes it would hit that boost and now sometimes it would only hit say 10-11psi.

then today when i went to hit boost after warming it up it spluttered and missed then backfired with a cloud of black smoke (so would be fuel) then after that was boosing again???

some help would be greatly appreciated!!

my ideas are...

-ebc

-actuator

-fuel pump

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
