Told you when you text me it was fuel related. We had a Camaro once at work that would crank and run but not rev more than 1300rpm. Could baby it around the parking lot but any gas much and it would die. It was running on less than 10psi of pressure. Learning experience for me because im use to things needing a certain amount of pressure to even run. Nothing that low.

It's fixed now, was gonna put that ls6 cam in today but decided that I didn't feel like messing with my car anymore. Maybe next month

I got another spring here waiting lol

Siggy25

What pound spring do you have. Changing cam next Saturday. And this is a question for everyone, if I put a ball valve inline of the wastegate boost line and closed it some would it allow more boost to be made or be the same.

mrstepheneades

I have the lightest springs in the box. I'll give you whichever one you want or else you can do the ball valve thing. The more air/boost you allow to the top port on the waste gate the more boost turbo will yield. If your gonna do ball valve just leave the spring alone. Just crack the valve a little and watch boost and inch it up as you want. I always test mine at highway speed on 4th. That's your most load and shouldn't have to get more than 4000 to see whatever the max its gonna max. If not enough crack valve open a little more.

Yeah I will just use the ball valve, probably have Jonathan take it down the road first to tune the cam in and have the ball valve closed a little and see what it hits on the street. Looking to hit 13 to 14 bc I know it won't get but 11 or 12 on the dyno if I can get 14psi on the street. But I would just like to see the diff between the new cam at 8 psi. And I will mark the ball valve at the desired psi.

Siggy25

Don't want to get any higher than 14psi with out meth

I wouldn't use a ball valve. Use a mini pneumatic regulator. Much more adjustability and it locks. Harbor freight has them dirt cheap. or Ebay sears etc...

like this...

pop the gauge off and plug it, mount **** close to driver and you can adjust boost on the fly. Plumb it like so. Happy face sticker on the **** is an optional upgrade...

I didn't even think about using a regulator. I will just have to pick me one up from lowes or find me one at work. Thanks for that idea

the ball valves block the reference line of boost signal until the desired boost level is reach. helps spool

This is a ball valve…



Your thinking of an adjustable spring loaded check valve. (sometimes called a grainger valve) Adding one of these inline can help with spool assuming the spring in your gate is well below your desired boost level. Putting one by itself inline would cause boost to pulse. You would need a bleed of some sort in addition. You could use one with the pneumatic regulator.

well i was using his terminology lol yes i meant a ball and spring or grainger valve. i didnt realize he meant an actual ball valve haha. i use a hallman and have made a home made one as well

mrstepheneades

Hallman here too.

Any updates after installing the ls6 cam? Doing a similiar setup soon except it will be going on a 5.3l with ls6 cam.

Siggy25

Was gonna put ls6 cam in this past sat but with this snow storm we had Thursday delayed that. Hopefully will changes cam this sat. Then the following sat I will have results.

mrstepheneades

So your going back to tune some more?

Siggy25

Yes, want to see power difference and also see how my free boost controller will work lol

mrstepheneades

Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing some mid 500s at least. Don't be weak lol. Jk.

Siggy25

I'm weak bc I'm broke lol
