Re: my new project
So i made an intake pipe tonight and got a boost leak tester from cornfed2.4. Thanks!
Now I just need to do a boost leak test. Fix any boost leaks if there are any and the car will be ready to get tuned. Just a little over a week to make sure everything is good to go!

Re: my new project
I forgot I accidentally leaned on one of the ignition coils and broke it when I put the new alternator bracket in. The car still ran fine with no miss fires but I picked up some coils and replaced it this weekend. now I have a few spares if I ever need them.
I still need to do a boost leak test sometime asap.
she goes on the dyno for a tune one week from tomorrow. I'm getting nervous and excited lol. It's going to be a long week to say the least

Re: my new project
Might be hard to skip out on a Monday but I'll try haha. You know if you have the rest of the day for the tune or just a few hours?

Thanks! I feel like I need it lol. After what happened last year on the dyno I have definitely taken the time to go through this thing as good as I possibly could. Shane gave me a list of stuff to do last year and I've done everything on that list. I've gone over the checklist on db's website. I think a boost leak test is all that's left that I need to do. I will also comb over things to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Okay man sounds good just keep me posted. As for the dyno time I'm not sure. I made the appointment a while ago and Shane knows my car lol so I would assume he allotted enough time for it. Not sure how long it will take but based on how things went last year I would guess it will be on the dyno till 5 or 6. Unless it goes a lot faster this time

Re: my new project
Shane should setup live streaming from his Dyno room so we can all watch our friends dyno
Could be done quick and dirty with a uStream embed.

With less Swifty jankiness out of the engine bay, it will most likely go quicker. haha

Lol I think overall Swifty did a pretty good job with the car. Most of whats gone on with it I would attribute to just normal car stuff nothing that Swifty did

Re: my new project
He was cheap when it came to important parts like turbo, manifolds, etc though.

[QUOTE=goodhart;428014]He was cheap when it came to important parts like turbo, manifolds, etc though.[/Q]
Eh it is what it is now. I don't like using used turbos or engines I've been burned too many times but you gotta do what you can with what you can afford. The manifolds on the car seem good. The intake is a Jmf. I've never heard of redjack racing until I bought the car but the exhaust manifold seems like it's a pretty decent piece. They made the FMIC too and it's a pretty nice unit.
Anyways the important thing is the car is up and running. Hopefully the tune goes good tis time around and we can have some fun with the car this summer.
