1998 Trans Am 402/4L80E/S484 build
#41
Well, I ran into a few hiccups but the car's running. I had to buy a second HP Tuners cable, as I couldn't get mine to see the interface after a full week of tweaking Windows settings.... Oh well I guess, at least now I can record my logs without the laptop sliding around the car lol.
I had to disassemble my new Magnafuel pump as I must have picked up a piece of debris between the inlet filter and pump. Got that taken care of now. I bet it's twice as loud as the A1000 pump I had before.
I was actually pretty amazed, I modded the tune a little, set the base fuel pressure, and turned the key, and it actually fired right up lol. I was almost expecting something bad to happen lol. Now to go do some VE and idle tuning and get the break in miles taken care of. I talked a bit with Hellbents10 and I'll hopefully be calling them to set up an appointment to tune it here in a week or two.

I see your lookin for 850 on 15psi, on my 416 im runnin a t4 s480 witha 1.25, made 806whp thru an unlocked converter and 13.5lbs. Im also looking for around your goals as well but wanted as quick of spool as possible for that power level anda single turbo, i think i met it, will be turning the boost up to see what itll max out at here soon, but i think youll reach 875 or so on 15lbs.. atleast... great build so far man love the car

Thanks guys, I'm pretty excited about it. Its been way too long since it's been on the road. I definitely wanna get back into some of the local car shows and cruises. Once I get some new gears and a converter, and new harnesses, I'll post some time slips lol.

Welcome
Not too much happening with the car right now, just enjoying it and taking it out to shows when time allows. Tuning is done, but anything over 650ish hp, and it's flashing thru the converter. So that's on my short list to get taken care of. Still 650 is plenty fun
Did have some issues with the Derale fan wiring but it's squared away now.

Just a little follow up on the fan/fuse issues I had. I ended up replacing both Derale fuse holders and replaced them with 40A auto-reset circuit breakers. But I've found that one of my Derale fans is much noisier than the other and spinning slower. That sucks, as I've only got maybe 500ish miles and some dyno pulls on the setup...
I know Derale 16925's are the preferred fan for so many of these FI builds, but at this point, I'm REALLY not impressed with them.
Oh well, at least it's still drivable. Hope everyone elses projects are going well
