at .99 or 1 bar it should be running heaps more than 3psi... actually even if it's not working, the std wastgate spring should still hold at least ~7psi (~.5bar)

I think he might have calculated the guage wrong because we started a fight over it because on the standard guage it was going to about 6 psi (the max being 7 psi) though he was the mech and i wasn't so he was right in his mind.

I though it was going pretty alright for 3 psi thats why I questioned it. But I have only had a 4cyl turbo to compare it to, which is not a good compare.

I think I'll take it into the shop and ask them what to do about it and get them to teach me.

what was the evc going too when the std guage went to 6?

I wasn't watching, was watchin the road, I'm not used to the car yet, this was yesterday when I was driving it for the second time ever so??? I'll have a look tonight is anyone going to Broady carpark because if you are I can show you there??? If not I might drive to Bris at Midnight.

Mine must be running 9 psi then, I have no idea how it works i'm going to have to go and see a specialist

sounds like std boost... have a read thru the instructions... might be a simple answer :)

SBC is the scramble boost button - allows you to increase boost above low/high settings at the push of a button, for a given period of time. You can specify how much boost increase you want and how long you want it to last. There's a connector for an external switch you can mount anywhere.

Kind of like the 'overtake boost' feature of some of the newer units

    • 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
