Thread: VE-T Project Under Way :)

Can we see a pic of your water lines(feed and return), thanks.

The stock tranny will hold up just fine for now,unless you're boosting very high boost.
Be nice to your tranny.haha

I just did that tonight. No more breaking up. I pulled the old plugs (gapped at .045, was probably the issue here) and replaced them with some BKR7Es gapped at .035


I'll have to snap a pic tomorrow, I just came in from the garage.


I guess I could do that . The only thing is, it's not LSD.


Ok, so after swapping plugs, installing solid front motor mount and hooking up the wideband, I am still not where I need to be.

The plugs seem to have helped (no more breaking up). But the power is still not very smooth and is just... not really there (still no wheel spin in 2nd on street tires and under 50 degrees outside)

As far as the wideband goes, it seems to be functioning properly. It tells me I have some tuning to do. Cold idle was ~15.5 iirc, Warm Idle was ~16-16.5. Under WOT, it is dropping to 10.0 flat, so I am assuming that is the minimum reading and it is actually even more rich than that. While coasting in gear, it goes lean off the charts (is this normal?). Under light load it is around 13 iirc.

I have been taking it very easy and only got on it twice to check the wideband readings. Boost is holding at a steady 7psi, no issues there. Any ideas?

Idle sounds about right and normal for coasting in gear.

Need to check fuel map to see what is going on with rest. PM sent

I took some pics today. Let me know if you have questions

I'm having some tuning issues. Anyone else care to join the discussion?

looks real good.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Now I just need to get my tuning straightened out so I can go beat up on some Mustangs around here lol.

What size exhaust are you running?

2.5 for now. It is bent and needs fixed, so I'll probably go with 3 soon.
