Thread: So upset with myself... :(

Wow this is turbo I thought it was NA. What psi are you running it at. You may want to diagnosis just to get used to it. You dont want to start running from problems with your big turbo setup your putting in.

Try launching in 2nd?

3500~3800rpm on street tyres for a lauch is way to high, hence the rubbish 0-60.

Try around 1500rpm. Trap speed is still low for a turbo motor.

Stock boost levels for the W11. Like 9.4psi or somewhere around there. My diagnosis is pulling the motor, to look at the internals. I'm telling you, she's shot somewhere, and I just haven't spotted it yet. Lets put it this way... The ECU doesn't even control the idle, which would mean vacuum leak, but every possible component/line according to vacuum has been replaced. I'm thinking valves from cam install way back when, or rings on pistons are shot. Remember, I've always had LOOOOWWW chamber compression, compared to other healthy motors. 150 across the board, which is borderline what the FSM indicates as a healthy motor (they state 149 as being the lowest value).



I pre-load any lower than 3000, and the car literally bogs off the line, and stumbles on itself. At the previous track, I had no issues with this launch RPM. I think it was the fact that I was on a new track, and they had just laid down VHT like 4 runs before me. I was thinking I guess that the VHT was going to help me SOMEWHAT. Seems like it did nothing.

Oh yeah, and my car IDLES at 1500.:o Sometimes 2K, but most of the time 1500. If the ECU could even control idle, that'd be great. It's okay though. This motor is GONE.

Its porpably your clutch and you dont see it, thats how mine was on my T25 set up, **** wouldnt even roast em in 1st.

Well I'm pulling the motor tonight

Guess we'll see how the new ACT clutch holds together on the new setup. I'm probably going to be in a world of hurt once I get her running again! Not only do I have restored power, I probably will have a TON more than before. Not even worried about installing the boost controller at this point. Just going to run the 9psi spring off the wastegate for now. (Someone mentioned that some wastegates from TiAL have adjustable boost?) I thought that was only for the Synapse...

Now toss some steaks on the grill, because Straightpipes is comin through!

Well damnit let me know when! I'll be sure to toss some on the grill

I would but its to hot down there and i finally wanna go home!!!!

lol! It's all good meng. Go home!
