Last couple things.. oil pan and tune! Of course i lost the bolts

 

Almost ready to start. Some plugs. To plug in. Intercooler piping and ...?

 

Dude this thread has me all excited when my 71hta gets here on wednesday. 84mm cover and fp wastegate

Buschur intercooler, uicp, licp
Jm fab o2 dump
3 in exhaust
Build motor 9.5 compression
Ported head, exhaust, and headers
Ets intake
Hks 272 cams
Spoolin up cop system

Im hoping for 420 with about 24 psi at my dyno tune on June 20th, but if i don't achieve it then my meth kit will go on.

 

Got mine started now.. need some small parts from the hydraulic store to seal up the sas piping.

 

Good luck to you man. Hope the tune goes well. I think you are going to be very pleasantly surprised. :-)

 

Ok i need some help. I got my 71 hta with the 84mm housing. Im currently running ets MAF recirculated intake on the stock 8 turbo. I just realized i will probably have to upgrade my intake? The coupler will not fit on the intake side of the turbo

 

You just need an adapter coupler from the turbo to your current size intake. Ideal situation would be have a new 84mm silicone intake but a reducer coupler will work fine as well.

 

I've been getting a lot of knock low rpm low load, i believe it's false. Either way gonna throw the hallman mbc on temp to get all my loads tuned and autocross this weekend. Should have a graph by tomorrow night.

The sas backfires out my wastegate at times, sounds neat, seeing little to no sas /als effect yet. Gonna. Keep moving though

 

Wasn't false, i just didnt suspect such a large decrease needed for spool up timing.. atleast in the 120-180. Took care of a good chunk of knock. Wot 1234 is good but still a few cnts of knock when playing at 2500-4000. Fueling looks like 11.7 @ 15 psi.

 

any more updates?

 

still working though, leaning out slowly

25ish psi, having a real hard time with spool knock(gone for a couple days, then gets real bad again??? wacked out for sure), and light accel. I really cant see what the eff is causing so much knock! Once that gets good, looking for 475-500 vd/dj. My wb02 logs .2 low 99 percent of the time i get a clean pull in 3/4 gear this is clean btw

 

This is on pump 93 right? The graph looks good! Glad to see you're finally getting the car figured out and able to enjoy it..

 

93 oct which is questionable because fastrac had just replaced the sticker on the 93 pump with 91, and when I asked about it they said for 5 years its been 91. i was like OMFG and I filled up exclusively at fastrac because it had been the newest place in town, new tanks etc. So I have been gone back to sunoco fuel, and once Im happy with a tune, I fill up free range but I try to use it to eliminate bad fuel as a question.

theres still a light accel knock that plagues me every so often its not consistent at all, I really feel its false, but nonetheless I log constantly and just look for the changes I need to make. As I tune the VE map, which is larger than a fuel map, I see that its more sparse, but my target fuel map may be way off.

im trying to push about a 12.5-12.7 at 5 psi and run 11.9 @ 10, and 11.3 is18+. Then lean out slightly after peak torque. My AEM log is usually .1-.2 low. Occasionally it logs farther off than that. IDK why its supposed to be smart etc.

Im going to run a 3 port soon, just want to get dialed in on a MBC.


Supporting mod list comes down like this

S2 cams
Skunk2 mani by STM
stock evo jdm manifold with sas ports
70mm throttle body by Full blown
JMFab IC
STM uicp/greddy type s bov
injen licp
muse o2 dump
245/45-18 tires .. way too tall imho

 

I got the VE leveled out, going to have to work the whole curve up to 11.4 ish. VE is definitely not linear!

at 7k 3-4 clicks is almost a whole point, and in my mid range I have seen 4-5+ clicks to get a point of adjustment. The hardest part is tuning transitional areas.

I dont get why I see 460 load with only 300 map? my map ve table is set up like roadspike left it with the 100:100 400:440. This is probably my heartache.
