Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

yes still taking it to the dyno, next wed. at 2pm ;) can't wait. i'm trailering it their...like 1 1/2 hrs away :'( Michigan sucks!

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

ok now that it starts, go to the LO throttle setting, and at the 1000 RPM mark, play with the setting and find where your engine idles ok. if you have a stock pump and fuel pressure regulator, your engine should have a good idle mark betwwen -27 and -42, somewhere around those marks....

happy boosting....

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

ig your motor and turbo setup is good, and you are only worried about the tunning aspect of the car,

YOU DONT NEED TO TRAILER IT, U CAN DRIVE IT (dont rape it on the way, just drive it moderately)....

SAVE THE MONEY, when u find the idle, just set it accross the board on that setting, and drive it to the dyno.

(i recommend using hte money u saved and install a high volume fuel pump, so u can get some good numbers from the dyno)

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

will a walbro 255 pump really help thatmuch?

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

ok, went out for my first drive, I set my settings at lo -37 and high -39, let me know if I should change anything. I have an ajustable wg and right now it was hitting about 10 psi, but the second it would get to that I would let off the gas.

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

it should be the other way around

-37 is richer (more gas) than -39.

lo should be -39 and hi be -37


the pump should be a MUST to keep the setup SAFE.
people have gotten away with a stock pump, but it is up to u to take the chance.

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

man, I sick of spending $ on this car. I already have 1200 in the turbo set up :'( If I get it tuned, then get a fuel pump later, will I have to get it tuned again?

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

hey man, u have spent 1200 on that car, if u spend 2000 ur still way lower than stupid people paying thousands of dollars to a shop to get a turbo installed, nobody cant buy ur knowledge. They more u pay and do, the more u know.

knowledge, priceless.

dont give up!

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

ok, I have it set at lo -37 and hi-36, when i go into boost runs fine, but when I come out of it, it idles VERY low, why?

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
 

sounds like timing is too retarded or too advanced for me, does it take a while for the rpms to go up and then to drop down?
