Where did you put your iat sensor?

 

In the charge pipe probably 8 inches back from the throttle body right after the bend. I angled it a bit downward so its not overly visible.


Found out my smoking problem was due to crank case pressure, i never even thought to account for PCV. Brain fart. I will come up with a permeant solution for that tomorrow. Drove it 7 miles tonight, feels good and the turbo begins to spool up (loudly, i might add! ) at anything over about 2k RPM. This is going to be a fun car

 

Nice ta,On post 33 was teflon used on your return fuel line?Wouldn't the fuel cause some sort of problem?

 

Thats how it was when i received it. Its the Lonnies double pumper kit. Haven't had any leaks or anything, couldn't be happier with my fuel system.


Just to prove it runs and drives

Fixed the insufficient crankcase ventilation issue. Now running a full -4 feed with a -10 drain, no smoke

 

Finally was able to boost it today.. all i can say is YEEEEEHAWWWW!!! Wasn't able to stay in it because it started to lean out but wow is that a whole different kind of power. Pouring rain here now, looks to be staying that way for a couple days. More tuning to come. Would like to wrap everything up by this weekend.

 

Great job James! Glad to see it all coming together nicely

 

Awesome man...glad you finally finished the car up. I hope to be in the same position as you in 3-4 weeks. Can't wait to see hp numbers/times.

 

A little bit o' boost

motor is broken in!

Last night got a run in with my buddy. Mustang dyno'd a bit over 600rwhp on 18-20psi and pump 100 before his recent re-tune. I would guess somewhere in the 62X now. I am currently on 7-8 psi waste gate, just ordered a boost controller today, then I'm going to crank it up.

First run i got him by a little, second run i got a bit sideways into 4th and let out. Rematch soon with me adding 10 more Psi hopefully!

Nice man!! let me now when ur hitting the track! gotta see u get some good numbers!

 

So... I weighed my car last night. Tipped the scales at 3250 with my 17" C5's on. I'm flabbergasted.

 

So how the setup running for you? Any track times or dyno numbers

 

I have not had a ton of time to mess with it but for most of the season i was only on 7 cylinders.. stupid MSD wires. oops.

I think i am getting boost creep with the 40mm Wastegate and the thing needs a complete retune. No dyno numbers, no track times but plenty of headaches.

 

Lmao, I don't know about yall but I was scared shitless on my first startup of my first build. Took me 10 minutes to gather the sack to turn the key! I could just see it exploding into a million pieces and the car burning down lol. All turned out well though!

 

If I may ask. What wheels are those in this video? CCWs? Which model

 

old build thread! lol.. In that video they are just C5 wheels.. i have Fikse FM10's now.
