ping ping= bad bad

Re: First run boosted!!
 

ya i know i just had to retard the timming little but it's all good now

Re: First run boosted!!
 

What's this "rad" jazz???

Re: First run boosted!!
 

How in the world did you blow the rad? You sure your head gasket is fine?

Re: First run boosted!!
 

i blew one a week into my first setup, bad radiator cap not relieving pressure.

Re: First run boosted!!
 

how is your a/r ratiowith that fmu, is it running lean or rich.i was going with a y7 setup 8lbs on a fmu and stock injector. maybe a inline fuel pump?

Re: First run boosted!!
 

damn that story confused me. Thught you blew a rod....

So you busted your RADIATOR?

Re: First run boosted!!
 

It's running rich just were i want it so the fmu is working but i read the fmu is only good for 6-7 lbs of boost and not very reliable so if running more boost injectors/pump and ecu mod recomended budget boost is what i called this project the next one will be done better.

and i also read that any block with y in the code does not like boost so you might want to read up on that

Re: First run boosted!!
 

FMU's suck dick.

this post is worthless without pics

Re: First run boosted!!
 

its not that y's dont like boost, just that a lot of people have problems with the oil pumps taking a dive, nothing to do with boost

Re: First run boosted!!
 

Well congratulations on being boosted but get an uber basemap for $15 and ditch that fmu

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

So i am running again with help from arp head studs and d16z6 head gasket and running good time slip's coming around mid to end of may

my "rad" was smoking a lot when i did mine, it just needed a new radiator cap. had a leakdown test done on it, it was holding 18psi fine. way to rep the d15b7, too many people seem too afraid to do it. ;D im b7 boosted and lovin it.

but G'DAMN dude! you should NOT be running a freakin fmu on that engine running 7 pounds of boost. how long do u expect that thing to last? a couple of months? i would never run more than 5psi of boost on any car with an fmu, unless u like running ridiculous fuel pressures. go with uberdata, its much more reliable, makes tons more power on a halfway decent tune, and is half the price of a fmu what you can go ahead and call a standalone engine management. you're in very dangerous territory, especially for a mini-me running 10.8-11:1 compression. like you said, its already started pinging. watch it or you're gonna be engineless very soon. you should not be skimping on fuel at all.

i'll chip your ecu with uberdata for you, mail it to me, i'll give u zerOdaze's rom (he made 230whp on a b7/y8 combo with a 14b). i have a car i can test it on, i charge $65, $15 for any additional chips, $20 to make it datalogging-capable, and it takes about a week for me to chip it and send it back.

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

i <3 coupes!!! ;)

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

well the car looks good till you pop the hood

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

damn whats with the IC piping?? it looks like 1" and n FMU = LAME o well, he can allways upgrade :)

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

looks like 2" to me, anything bigger than that is really overkill for an under 300whp setup... yeah fmu definitely = lame

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

Did you make that manifold? I used to have one just like that, that I sold with a kit awhile or ago but it had headerwrap on it.

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

No i didn't make the manifold it i bought it with the kit last summer

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

I think it's the same mani i have off a 92-95 hatch VX model.

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

thats the same one i'm bout to use on my HMT setup. but i gotta get it cut up and a flange welded on first. :)

Re: First run boosted!!
 

just wondering...what in the heck makes you think its bad to boost a y block? There are plenty of people with boosted y8's and y7's who don't have problems.

oh and that rad is definintly fucked. I blew my headgasket the 1st day my car was turboed as well. It sucked having all that power and then having to wait for headstuds and all to use it again :(

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

Nice and clean. I like it alot. The set-up is pretty nice too. The IC piping is a definatly new route to take lol. That's an easy to Uberdata car. Just do it. You'll be happy. And I'm boosting my y8. I bet it runs just fine. ;) Oh yea, crank the boost and shoot for 200whp. :P

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

Nice dyno run man. 150 hp at 5-6 psi..not bad at all that's like 10hp per psi

Re: First run boosted!!
 

that's why i said you might want to read up on that because i was not sure!!

Re: First run boosted!! Pic's added
 

Thank's for the input

you sound like my girlfriend, talking without saying anything at all.
