New to the forum, ep3 boosting and tuning in a week

[andyman97]

Good stuff man. I'm glad to see its pretty much on a roll now. My build has got to be the longest in history. Blown up in February. Built an running by July. Blown up in August and still not rebuilt yet. Machine shop is taking their sweet ass time for me. Lol

You are a patient man. Why does it keep blowing?

Rebuild is complete. Hopefully everything will come back from the coater's early this week. Either way, it should be running and on the dyno by Friday at the latest.

Definitely an exciting time! Can't wait to see what it does

[andyman97]

Me too!

Exhaust parts are back from the coater finally. Engine and trans are back in the car. Just some more final prep and it will be back on the dyno Friday. Shooting for 550 on pump.

Fuel injector failed on me and leaned out. Then cracked a ring and wire the sleeve out of round. Car made great power on that hurt motor tho. 420/250 and that's at 0* cam advance and 14* ign advance.

Man that sucks.

Today is the big day. Everything is ready for the dyno. Expect to see some vids and graphs. 550 on pump is the goal. I'm excited to see how the intake temps look after the heat treatment.

How'd it come out? I'm eager to see results!!

[andyman97]

Yeah, it didn't end up happening Friday. The coater dropped the turbine housing after it was coated so the mating surface wasn't true. Had to bring it to the machinist Friday afternoon to plane it and the downpipe to make sure it doesn't leak.

Shit, did you have to pay for that yourself? Or did the coater do the right thing?
