Thread: The Time Has Come

lol I had actually just gotten home from Rob's when I posted that. That motor looks really good bro. Some day I want to pull my motor and clean it up, re-paint the charge pipes, clean up the oil from the bad valve cover gasket, and just generally clean the motor up.

Anyway, good job man. You've been waitin' a long time for this, glad to see you finally got her done. Now I just can't wait to see it at a meet this spring.

The "Money Shot" looks good Jensen...........DC told me he was working out the bugs for you. I hope all goes well.

Jen, what kinda hood are you gonna run? Or are you gonna get a little scoop for that TMIC? Wouldn't look bad with a little low, like flush kind of scoop there. Not like a freakin' WRX scoop, lol. But something simple and small.

IIRC he should be getting a scopped hood from someone for cheap. not sure if that changed or not.

edit: what are you going to do with the pop charger? if nothing, can I have it back?

Yep, we got some of the bugs out but not all...

Completed:
-NO Engine CODES..
-Got rid of the racing 3000-5000 rpm idle (air regulator vacuum leak).
-Set Fuel Regulator to 4 bar & Installed inline gauge
-Engine Harness Grounds secured on the Intake Mani secured
-Regrounded the MAF (.001) to Intake Mani
-Set the TPS to spec
-Changed the IACV/AAC (from old engine)
-Adjusted the timing (but its not accurate currently)

Problems remaining:
-Engine is still hunting real bad (1200-1900 rpm @ idle) - Unknown cause
-Bad Bogging at 3K and 5k rpms - Unknown cause
-Dizzy leaking oil from dizzy VC seal
-Old spark plugs need changing
-O2 Sensor wiring is to close to hot components; requires wire extended & rerouting

Suspect a vacuum leak is still lurking around somewhere. This is a true DET Intake and has some unfamilar connections.

Need help with vacuum line connections to the Air Regulator on the bottom of the intake mani. It has 4 connections: Normal Input & output hoses AND 2 vacuum connections (front & back connections)..
We capped both vacuum connections currently, but how/where are they suppose to connect???
Searching for someone that has setup this type of Air Regulator.

Well sh*t...looks like I need Scotty to look over my car. It runs well, and strong...but hell, he might just make it better!

Looks like you guys got a lot done today though. Jen, you'll be cruisin' and bruisin' in no time!

LOL.. Sure anytime..

After we get Jen's car settled down with solid Timing & idle, we plan to smooth out and fine tune his ECU maps while using a wideband. Put some power to the wheels!!

We need Agile to do another Dyno Day for us this year!!
For all of our NEW boosted cars..

Still need help from someone with a DET (Vacuum Controlled) Air Regulator setup!!

Scotty, PF Supercars is having a Dyno Day again this year. They're in Frederick, if you're interested in that at all. It was supposed to be this month, but it got pushed back until May 9th.

jensen...... i dont go back to work till thursday, so im free to dick around with the car, call me up.
