Re:StealthMode's Setup PIX (56K... Blow me)
 

I had the same problem when I raised the boost the same way Steve.

What I did was I ran a line from the wastegate to the intake mani.It seems like it takes longer for the wastegate to see boost that way.Then it jumped up to 8psi.Try that.It should work.

Re:StealthMode's Setup PIX (56K... Blow me)
 

I was gonna do that but I read that it gives off a "heat burst" kinda thing because of a boost spike from the wastegate being actuated much after the turbo.

I'm gonna check it out though. Maximum boost said if you can afford a short heat blast, than it will be fine, but then it ended with, "just attach the line to the compressor outlet and call it a day" ???

Well Raf is telling you that it will work.Its been working for 4k miles now.


**looks around**..I dont see no "Heat burst" ???

Now put down that book and go rape that engine DAMMIT!

Re:StealthMode's Setup PIX (56K... Blow me)
 

I'll try it Raffi.

I just caught my first race!!! A rice boy in like a 98 ex with a bodykit rolls up on side of me. I know what time it is, let him get like a 2 sec. jump, then I raped him. At the next light he says, "is that nitrous?" (cause you know I shifted right as I was passing his door 8)) and I told him, "no, that's turbo" hahahahaha. He said, "man, I was like fuckk".
I was surprised he even came up on side of me. Most people think my car is just a dirty old piece of ----. Races have been hard to come by. :-\ Bambo told me I needed to start "rev checking" people, but we all hate those kind of people. :P What fun is it to go challenge and then smoke em'? I want to be challenged by ricers and surprise em'. ;)

Thats the best right there. I love the look on peoples faces when they find out its a turbo. The smile and look over like its the coolest thing they have ever seen.

Re:StealthMode's Setup PIX (56K... Blow me)
 

when I had the d15 in I would rev at people at lights and laugh when I lost because it was a d15. now I have the b16 and I don't rev anymore because it's not funny when you spend a bunch of money on a motor swap and still lose.

Re:StealthMode's Setup PIX (56K... Blow me)
 

there i went ahead and fixed the first picture... cause you couldnt really read what i had written in that filth you call dirt...

And your welcome steve... Dont you ever give up on anything you start..... if you gut stuck... all you need is a kick in the right direction...dont worry about the mess you guys left... its still here waiting to be picked up... JK...

Re:StealthMode's Setup PIX (56K... Blow me)
 

So I went to autozone and got enough vac line to run from the wastegate to the IM. The highest I hit on the afc was +.60 but me and bamboo noticed last night that my boost gauge reads more than that. Like when we had the dial a boost hooked up the gauge said 12.5 lbs. but the afc was only at 5.9 or something. What do I trust? It's hard to think the gauge could read more psi than whats really there. ??? I don't know what to believe, but I know that ---- is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssttt. I love it. ;D

Re:StealthMode's Setup PIX (56K... Blow me)
 

Whoa how much boost you planning to run on the d steve? Yeah id go with the boost gauge reading deffinetly,

Re:StealthMode's Setup PIX (56K... Blow me)
 

Well, I'm still working on my turboedit setup, but the afc is running really good. At this point I'd take it to 11psi if it gave it to me. I really think tonight I was spiking 10 and leveling off at 9psi. That's good for me now. I'm having fun, but with time and patience I hope to run 12-14 on the street. That may be a little much for the tires, so basically we're gonna play with it and see what happens. I don't think I built this motor to push to the edge of destruction, but I did build it to push 12psi on the daily and not have to worry about it. The races are a different story, and that will be up in the air as far as how much I'll run there. With all of this ------- with the wastegate though, I think the next thing I get is an electronic boost controller. 8)
