So I recently swapped turbos for a fp black with a Tial Mvr.Last night I took her out and turned up the boost. The car pulls so hard, I changed a few things and deleted all the vacuum lines and replaced the with braided line. What do you guys think ?

What lines are you using for your vacuum lines going to your boost controller there? I've been wanting to replace the rubber lines I am using for a long time with AN lines like that but never knew exactly what size they were. If you know where a pre-cut line with the right fittings are I'd appreciate it, feel free to PM to me.

Glad you got the boost turned up.

What rpm are you seeing full boost?

I'm running 40psi on the black full spool 5-5500 on s2 cams. Stock block and ethanol. Was running same boost on pump gas also but less timing. Seems I need to get a smim to really let it eat. What's the injector duty and what size injectors?

I bet his IDC's are pretty high. I had to swap out my 1120's and go with 1650's because I was seeing 90-109% on the 1120's....she was just running out of fuel on E85. Now IDC's are back to hi 70's-80's and it liked it. Lets see if he can tell us how hard those 1000's are running.

I know my IDCs are around 60-65% on e85 running 2150s. When I decided on going ethanol I wanted the one and done purchase I bet the 1000s are tapped out. My buddy runs 38psi on pump on pte1000s and he's about out of injector

Your AN lines look good! I did mine the same way.

Thanks, now i'm sitting at my desk with tight pants so I can't get up.

He's getting close to going back in time with that mph....

What kind of airflow numbers you getting ?

about 57-60lb/m according to my logs

Thats pretty good for stock manifold.

Your setup looks great and the car looks to be making good power. I would turn the timing down a bit! 27 degrees at 6500, or any rpm while in boost, is too much. E85 won't show knock until its too late.

To be safe I never run more than 20-21 MAX on E. It may work for some, but you are tuning on the edge with that much timing. If it works great, but if it gets lean for any reason, it will be bad.

That's what I was thinking also No port work and 91-94 throttle body on it. Have had compressor surge a few times so it's definitely time to upgrade, just kinda broke 70-90 is around 1 to 1.2 seconds. Still curious as to the OP's idcs

Me too

Guys this is on pump gas, but im spraying meth. Im going to be checking my base timing, I feel like it may be retarded. Im running a ton of timing, when i lower the timing the motor feels dead. Im going to be checking it tmrw and installing the new intercooler and im going to do some more pulls. I love this turbo, really do ....full boost im not sure but i can say the powerband is incredible, pulls so hard.

I picked up 10 feet of 4an line for extreme psi with some an fitting. I can tell you working with small an fitting is a pain in my anus, I snapped the end off a fitting and was being really careful. Its like burning a 20 dollar bill

If you think it pulls hard now you will be very happy if you can get on E. I ran 95 octane and water/meth and when I swapped over it was a whole new car. I thought you were already on corn and it will take more injector than gas so when you have to make a decision on new injectors, go big or as big as the wallet will let you. I have a 10:1 motor so I knew I would run into pre-ignition and detonation so I installed an AEM kit but on E you can get away with so much more timing.

Just an FYI - I run FTP 4an setup.
extremepsi.com made, 4an fittings for all tial stuff so you don't have to worry about what bolt sizes etc.
I use 3 of there tial fittings (1 bov, 2 for the wastegate)

Think all said and done I used 12 feet of FTP 4an line.
4-FTP 4an - 90 degree fittings
1-FTP 4an - 45 degree fitting
1-FTP 4an - 3 male TEE fitting
5-FTP 4an - straight fittings
2-straight 1/8npt to 4an (ebc,int man)
1-45 degree 1/8npt to 4an (ebc)
1-90 degree 1/8npt to 4an (turbo)
And I highly recommend getting a hose cutter from harbor freight, best $20 you'll spend. Makes cutting braided line like slicing butter.

And like posted above anything but straight fittings snap really easily when trying to tighten them down. key is to make sure braided line is cut clean and even, and when you apply torque to tighten make sure you keep the wrenches nice and square to each other and go slow. I actually order 1 extra 90 degree and 45 degree. after I had to order more when I snapped my first one and didn't want to have to pay for shipping again in the event it happened again.

Picts are in my 1997 profile if you want to see how I ran mine.

My idcs are creepin past 60 % but like I said im running meth, id probably be out of injector if i wasnt runnin boost juice. I am going to fic high z 1650s, I just wish they werent 900 bucks. I have a walbro 450 installed in another hanger waiting to go in. I designed my fuel system around e85, all tfe lines, stainless filter, and I have the gm flex fuel sensor ready to go in. The plan for tmrw is to check timing, install intercooler and hopefully not grenade my engine. I have been compression testing the engine pretty often, I want to be sure im monitoring the health of the engine. My other question is, looking at the picture of my log. Shouldnt the timing increase as load decreases? What im saying is at peak load I should lower my timing and increase it thereafter?

Pull tonight

Nice pull. Is your voltage usually that low on pulls?

That will affect your fuel pump and in turn your injector duty cycle.
