G/L man

 

Hey guys, sorry I'm late with an update. There's good news and bad news.

The good news is the motor is holding stronger then ever @ 40psi on the FP Black. The bad news is the car did not top my red power by much, maybe 10whp, which stumped the hell out of me. I couldn't figure it out. Compression was fine, the car passed a boost leak text prior to my tuning appointment as well. I went over the car with a fine tooth comb last night and found there is a tear in my 90degree coupler from the uicp to the throttle body that must have developed during the tuning session. The tear however was only visible when stretching the coupler out. It is certainly a huge boost leak as I can see my finger on the inside of the coupler from the outside. I just can't catch a break lately.


I have a replacement coupler that will be here friday. Unfortunately I will not have time to revisit the dyno so I must make any adjustments with the fixed boost leak at the track.

 

Dam sucks to hear about your problem Ryu, hopefully the car picks up the power you need when the leak is fixed. Good to hear about the motor though.

Thanks Juan. Seem to have a streak of bad luck lately.

I tell some of my customers "nobody went fast overnight" it takes sheer determination sometimes to get everything to line up just right. I have no doubt you'll do it soon Ryu...it's pretty amazing that you came anywhere near your old numbers with a split in the coupler haha, that's awesome.

 

Thank's Mellon. Here's two pictures of the coupler. The first is how it looks just normally on the car, actually looked just like a crease with the uicp pushing it against the TB. Then the second is with a little stress on it from the inside. You can't see it in the picture but I CAN SEE MY FINGER!!!

 

is that a good make coupler?
i guess the slightest nick could be a start point for the rip when its bulging out on boost.
thats nothing but bad luck i guess and if thats your only problem your laughing

 

That sucks. What are you using for fuel right now?

 

93oct+100% meth.

 

wow, that's a major gash, glad you found it though, the car should be beastly all sealed up

 

Is this on a stock short block Ryu?
