    420A Vacuum lines...which ones can I get rid of?

    Does the 95 still throw the insufficient flow cel like the 96 plus when it tries to open the egr and doesnt detect airflow.

    Dyno Problems

    There is an issue of Cycle World that came out a few months ago talking about how dyno shops will fool customers. I wish I would have bought it.Things like using different gears before and after mods to exaggerate differences. Riding the brake on decelleration is supposed to give a higher...

    Portfueler install hindsight

    So I have been running my portfueler for a few months now and even though it has ran good, it hasnt ran great. These past couple of weeks I decided to get underneath the car and take everything off and check what might be wrong.Ever since the install it has always had a bad cold idle. It...

    420A Vacuum lines...which ones can I get rid of?

    Seriously, the adding more nipples thing is the best way to go.Its not that hard to remove the top of the intake. Just remove the bolts from underneath, get yourself a new gasket, and have at it.Go to the hardware store and get a 1/4 NPT tap and the accompaning drill and just add as many...

    Dyno Problems

    What gear was it ran in before the mods. Gearing makes a difference on numbers. A 3rd gear pull will give different numbers than a 4th gear pull.

    420A Vacuum lines...which ones can I get rid of?

    If you need extra lines just drill and tap 1/4 NPT nipples into your intake manifold.

    Finally fixed wierd idle

    I have been having a wierd idle ever since I installed all my upgrades (PF, new TB, 3" exahust etc) and I have never been able to track it down until now. When cold the idle would surge up and down. When hot it would idle fine. I attributed it to the egr pipe being removed to accomodate the...

    knock

    There is no definitive answer. It depends on the type of gasoline you use, condition of plugs, wires, etc. The short answer is probably not.

    Turboing my 420A... just a few questions.

    That is not a problem, there is a guy (blackmagic) on 2gnt that went from a completely stock engine to a Hahn stage 5(forged internals, portfueler, 20g) all at once. You just have to make sure and keep the wastegate set to not allow any boost until the motor is broken in.If you are going to...

    portfueler

    The fuel map is part of the kit. It is the Split Second tuning software that is optional and it is only 50 bucks. If you buy a complete kit they preload the base map onto the ecu.Yes it runs rich. No its not hard to tune. If you have a datalogger that does, afr, boost and rpms like the...

    No Way This is Normal

    I have been looking at his page for a while and it has never steered me wrong yet.I guess if worse comes to worse and I dont get it back balanced correctly then I can still send it to hahn for a rebuild.You never learn unless you do it yourself.It looks easy enough, mark the housings...

    No Way This is Normal

    That is what I figured. Oh well, it led a good life. How hard is it to rebuild these things so I dont have to give HRC an arm and leg.

    No Way This is Normal

    I just did a boost leak test and when I pressurize the system I hear gurgling coming from the turbine.

    No Way This is Normal

    The oil return line is nice and straight.The throttle body is clean though and so is the o2 sensor and wideband. I didnt see any oil anywhere except for this coupler and the coupler that attaches the air filter to the turbo.
  31. baxsom

    No Way This is Normal

    There is no way that this is normal. This coupler was just put on brand new last week. This would explain the smoking and probably the bad cold idle I think.To me it looks like time for a turbo rebuild or upgrade.THe compression on the car is still good. Each piston is 175 exactly...

    Next Mod Help ?

    If you plan on going turbo like you say then only buy parts that will compliment the turbo mod. That means that for one thing you will have to get rid of that CAI you just put on. Dont bother with headers either. Invest some time in making sure that your engine is healthy. Go with a good...

    Portfueler and now misfireing

    you have to connect to the portfueler module. Then read the fuel map from the ecu then press the select all button. then decrease by at least 20% for map A and B and then press the write to ecu button. I say 20% because that is how much I had to drop to get above 10:1 at any boost level.you...

    portfueler too

    EGT is tapped into the #4 runner. I read in a few places that we should go no higher than 1600 to 1650. I am thinking about adding a little fuel into the map for over 10psi though. id rather run a little too rich than too lean past 10 psi.

    tranny swap

    First, please use grammar. Your post is one big run on sentence and is hard to read. Second a stage 2 kit if you are using the standard definition of stages ie, turbo and intercooler with no engine upgrades will not handle that much boost.Now, let me try to help...

    portfueler too

    I think that it is there. I did two runs today in 3rd gear to redline. I only had the boost controller at the lo boost setting of 10psi. I dont want to over do it right off the bat.According to my zeitronix from 3000 rpms to redline, and at 10 psi of boost my afr held between 11.3 and 11.5...

    Running rich on dyno

    Running rich on dyno

    We need more info on your setup.What type of fuel pressure regulator/injectors are you running?Your signature says NT. Our cars run rich from the factory so if your setup is completely stock a SAFC is about the only thing that you could use. Well, that or megasquirt.

    I am almost there. At 13 psi and WOT the AFR is 10.7. Still a little rich but getting close.It starts off at 14.5 then when it hits boost it drops to 12ish then goes richer until it holds steady at 10.7 when WOT is held. I am going to shoot for 11-11.5 so back to the computer it seems...
