Started and drove my car for the 1st time w/ boost
Finally got my sh@t together and was able to start the car for the first time. It started first try and idle fine on the basemap, but aparently I didnt have the oil tee fitting in tight enough so oil started coming out of the back of the block. :crook: After we fixed that problem, we noticed it had a solid CEL and it would rev past 3k. Turned out we were using the new version of the stable map on the old version of turboedit. Once we made the same basemap with the same verisons the CEL went off, but still not able to rev past 4k. Turned out we forgot to take launch control off of the new base. We changed some AFRs on the base map to get it to idle better. Then took it off the jack stand and went for a drive. We drove it easy for a little bit watching the laptop and everything looked pretty close(or at least within a safe range) So we layed into the throttle in first. It ripped the tires lose, then same scenerio in second, then it pulled hard in third toward redline and thats when the F'n clutch started to slip. :thumbdown: We made a few more pulls and change chips a few more times but is time for a clutch. *sigh* So anyway I was very impressed with the car and cant wait to have it tuned with a new clutch and LSD. :thumbup:
