There are no boost leaks whatsoever. I have checked 100 times over. I Have video proof if needed. No exhaust leaks either. None. That the hell is going on with my poor dsm.
The car is a 2g gsx fully built ready to make 600 at the wheels on e85. The issue is that when the car idles and drives, it runs super lean at around 24/1 afr. When I kick it down, it drops to around 8/1. The car drives pretty nice, and pulls a little until 4500 rpm then it sputters and wont build more than 5 psi. No boost leaks, no exhaust leaks. Had the injectors tested, passed perfectly. Ignition system is putting spark to every cylinder, all injectors are firing, perfect compression on the brand new engine. What would cause this??? I know it just seems like a big boost leak, but testing held 30psi for over 2 min before It very very slowly crept below 30psi.
I was running a cop system, made with 300m coils and I thought maybe it was a spark issue seeing that I didn't have a cdi box. Switched to a sparktech unit, no change. Switched back to the stock coils and wires. No change. Plugs are ngk NPR 7es, tried gapping at .024, didn't work. Brought them down to .020. Didn't work. Fuel pressure is prefect at 43psi, tune is in progress, just can't go further without figuring out why the afr is so out of wack. Ideas? Wastegate was recently upgraded to a turbosmart unit, and Is set with a 24lb spring. What is going on???
The wideband traces the front o2 sensor in the logs, so it's not the wideband. Coolant temp sensor is new, all sensors are dialed in, is there anything I should check?
I can post a log if needed. Anything else you need to see, just name it. I'm desperate to get my car back on the road with power. It started over 4 months ago, and I can't find my problem. Please help!
