Being that we can't post on here... I don't think we have a meeting place

Oh I know, I'll ask Al what he thinks:
Hey Al, we had a dyno day on Saturday, and I got a dyno to see what my turbo back had added... the numbers came through, and I had lost .3 whp, and 5 wtq... They quickly hooked up a boost gauge and it turned out I was running 15lbs of boost with a peak at 16-17... Any ideas on what the problem could be, and how I could fix it?

 

I'm looking for a baseflash as well and I will be there all day!! I'm willing to wait for an open slot!!

 

I will work on the meeting place in the next day - maybe even tonight

 

What are your other mods?

 

Just a Turbo-back exhaust with no cat... Vt and I did the install, and triple checked everything... and a blitz TT and some JIC coilovers... but I doubt they'd affect it

 

Al I sent it! any idea when it might arive? Thanks

 

It shipped out via USPS priority mail on tuesday

 

Al, this is off topic but I purchased a defi EGT gauge and I was wondering if you had any experience installing one. If so, where did you put the sensor. Most everyone says to do it on the exhaust manifold #1 cylinder. Also they say to do it while the car is on. Any thoughts?

 

I installed an autometer egt on my old 98 eclipse(diff car, but same engine). I installed it in the #1 runner about 1/2 way to the turbo. I drilled the hole once small and then once the correct size with the engine running. this will blow all the shavings out the hole. I was also told that since the engine is not under load and the turbo is not pressurized that any shavings that did fall would just head out the exhaust. I never had any issues with over 30k miles on the car after the install....

 

On the egt - I put mine near where 1 & 2 joined

The best way is to do it with the manifold off - however - another method is to coast the drill bit in grease and do it with the car running

A drill bit tip breaking off can take out your turbo so drill slow

 

take off the manifold, it is easier than you think

 

check www.vfaq.com it is an eclipse site but the motors are basically the same and the installs will be similar. a lot of good knowledge about the 4g63 on that site.....

 

another off-topic...any of you utah guys know where to take someone out to dinner?
looking for a good place in the $50-60 range that is not national(red lobster/outback/etc.)
want to try a bite of slc.
I remember being there a few years ago and eating at a very trendy place next to a sushi bar near the dead goat and the zephyr club...

thoughts?
