What are those orange things above your valve cover gaskets? Gonna carrot the maro?!

[Docta]

Re: Counter-acting elevation, Turbo build

Nah, intake gaskets...except I think I meed the other style with a RWD intake.

Re: Counter-acting elevation, Turbo build

Well, stick a carrot in it and you're done.

Are you doing tuning yourself or taking it to a dyno?

[Docta]

Re: Counter-acting elevation, Turbo build

Basic tuning I'll be doing, but I'm nowhere near good enough to do a full tune...

Re: Counter-acting elevation, Turbo build

Ah sure, we're all good enough to do a full tune. But doing it accurately is a different story. There's not much difference between tuning idle and WOT. Just gotta make sure stay on the richer side then lean it up some, not the other way around.

Re: Counter-acting elevation, Turbo build

I also don't have a datalogger for AFRs. I have HPT basic, and a wideband. Maybe I'm psyching myself out if doing it, but I'd rather be safe.

And to anyone who has built this motor, what process did you follow for lifter preload? Breaking in a cam? Cam seems pretty straight forward, just not sure on if I should use stock springs for break in, or my 140lb springs. And what oils to run while I do it and/or on the 500 mile break in after that.

You can log afr through basic hptuners. You just have to wire it into your egr or ac. Also I would run the 140lb springs, the cam you chose will be to tough on stockers

Re: Counter-acting elevation, Turbo build

Do tell more about this with basic HPT? I'm getting rid of my egr and AC is gone... both free to use.

Re: Counter-acting elevation, Turbo build

Progress! Got the motor almost finished. New cam
Lifters going in
Done!

Thanks man, it'll look better in the car with a big ol' 35R strapped to it.

I love my 35R , One of these days I'll strap it back on, it likes to build boost thats for sure.

Re: Counter-acting elevation, Turbo build

I've been meaning to talk to you about that... what boost level do you run and when do ya hit full spool?

[ssms5411]

Re: Counter-acting elevation, Turbo build

I don't have it on right now but I was at a 10 PSI spring at it was over boosting like crazy. I was spiking 17 PSI at 3000 rpms. When I put it back on I'm going with a 3 or 7 PSI spring. I never got a good tune on it because of the over boosting. I have 3.73's for the rear though.
