As I said before - in your application with almost 500 whp in the mix - I prefer dyno tuning as it takes a LOT of time to dial in an extra say 20 whp on the street when you have 500 whp or more on tap

You are best to polan a trip to Pruven in CT for that application - especially if you plan on playing with the squeeze

 

Made payment. Thanks Al!

 

Wow That place is literally only 1mile away from me.. 4minute drive. I feel so deficient though , everyone is getting tuned for cams/ported manifolds/upgraded turbos/etc. while I'm just getting tuned for the basic bolt-ons. One day guys.. one day . I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

Regards

 

The trip has sold out - so I changed my flight to one a bit earlier to open up ONE LAST spot on Friday at 6:00 p.m.

Thanks guys for the fantastic and loyal support - lets hope for some nice dry weather !

 

Ok, tonight, I ported my manifold, and in the process of putting it back on, broke a bolt off in the turbo, the left one as you are looking from the front, and stripped the other one. Tightened the two studs, added a good bolt to the other hole, will try to extract the broken bolt tomorrow. Any Ideas/suggestions? Alson, tomorrow goes in the walbro and 264 cams.
How should I drive it after the cams and before the tune? Do I need to take it really easy, or just go drive normal?

 

Any decent machine shop can quickly and painlessly extract that broken bolt. Use plenty of anti-seize when you put it all back together so it will go easier next time.

I would suggest you drive off boost before you get the tune

Why take chances?

 

Thanks Al, good advice. It's so hard to stay off of boost during a six hour drive though!

I will try to find a halfway decent machine shop, though in cincy that could be hard. I wonder if they can extract it with it on the car? Do you think I will have to fix this before the tune? I have been advised by some DSM folks that 3 bolts will hold the turbo/manifold together tight enough to seal for a while, till I can get it fixed. What say you?

 

If you have an exhuast leak on the hot side comming into the turbine you will have a loss in power


I say try and get it fixed now - - a machin shop would proabably want it OFF the car while a good repair shop may be able to get it off on the car

 

For the dual flash tune is there a method to mark the location of the MBC for each setting. Will a marker do? Any other ideas? I like to have a mark for quick reference.

 

Due to a mechanical problem with a member's car - it seems we have a cancelation and a open spot on Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00p.m.

I would like to book that spot to return the deposit to the member who had to cancel at the last minute

ON THAT SPOT ONLY I am offering $50 off the tune if anybody NOT already signed up wants to sign up (I know its last minute)

Otherwise - if no one else takes the spot - I guess we can use the time frame for an impromtu mini Evo meet

Maybe Mr. Fireball can pay his visit at that time?

I am open to some Chi Town pizza

Peace

 

Which MBC do you have ?

I usually go by the boost gauge - not the MBC - more accurate that way

 

I have the AMS MBC. I guesss all I was asking is if there was a way to mark the MBC to know where the 20psi point is vs the 25psi point. I'm planning to use different color marker to mark it on the MBC but not sure if anyone else try something different or more efficient.

Looks like it's going to be good weather for today and the weekend.

 

I knew I should had waited j/k

An evo meet would be great. I like to see other Evos as well. Not sure where the best pizza is though. Does this mean 3 hrs of tuning for me

 

do any mods need to be done for the base flash?????

 

I will be there later in the day hopefully depending on chi-town traffic. Isn't Portillos right around there? I know it's on Golf Rd.
