hmmmm.....today I want to see my peak boost with the 2.87 and a loose BOV. so I entered the freeway and floored it at 4th. she downshifted back to 3rd and rpm is going up. I saw a 9 psi near 6000 and she went to the 4th. But I dont feel like she was pulling strong though...what's going on? EGT peaked at 730 and never hit the 800 limit. Am I running too rich? The stock cat-back is holding all her hot fart? or maybe I was addicted to 8psi at 5000rpm before I loosened the BOV???

help me out guys...I couldnt think of any reason.

 

Doesn't feel like the turbo, eh?

 

Damn Kev, help your boy out instead of making him feel bad about buying your S/C kit.

 

heheheh, of course! my 9psi is at 6000....your 9psi...or should I say, 10.6 psi is at 3000?


I will let the dyno tell me the real no. my butt is hard to judge.



Dixit : Kevin has been a big help to me! include.....3 belt change, 4 SC deinstall/install, removed 2 stripped bolts on SC, SC belt alignement issue, etc etc

.....and I almost ran him over on his driveway one time...

 

Damn all at no cost? Or cost of a 6pack each time

 

Nah, don't worry about it. I've been pushing him to tighten the BOV screw so he'll hit 11.

No charge since it was once my kit. An did give me an air freshener though. Hehehe Thanks!

 

I am trying to figure out your EGT temps...Celcius right?

and I have BOV adjustment issues as well...never can seem to get it the way I want...

 

A little air freshener means nothing for what you've done for me :sob: :sniff: :sob:

yup, it is in celcius. It raises really fast when I had the 3.33. What happened was I floored the pedal and hit 9psi but my car definitly was not pushing that much. But! if I depress the pedal slowly and then floor it....I feel more power coming. seems like if I push a lot of air into her at once....she cannot process all.

 

hmm i can relate ...

i thought my tranny wasnt handling it all

waiting on y-pipe
then we'll see sup

 

That is a really low reading for EGT... If it is ideed 800 at WOT then you are definitely running rich. Remember the higher the leaner, the lower the richer. Most ppl get like 1500 here....

 

sounds like a belt problem

 

he is in celcius not farrenheit

 

my reading is in celcius....




sure?


if the belt is slipping....I doubt that I will hit 9psi (I loosen my BOV too) hmmmmmm......

 

follow up - I tighten the BOV a bit today....it seems better. Now I am confused, I tighten the BOV and I am still getting the same reading. But it makes a difference.


I really want to know how much I am putting to my wheel.

 

Dyno the car!
