razorlab's simple build(s)
#796
I guess I spoke a little too soon about the car running great again.
I went out tonight to do some tuning again. The car is really touchy now. I can't run timing at all before it knocks. The timing seems really low for E76, even for a 10:1 motor. Also, it's pretty clean during single gear pulls but if I drive it normal and punch it at different RPM points it lights up the knock light a lot.
Take a look at the log here: http://datazap.me/u/razorlab/pt58582...6&zoom=274-395
I'm starting to wonder if I have a boost leak or the oil that seems to be passing through the turbo is getting into the intercooler piping and cylinders.
I am also having a heck of a time getting the fuel trims in line and the car gets rich leaving lights and between shifts.
I guess time for a boost leak test.
Here are the latest power numbers at 25psi and like no timing. 2* at 4500 rpm and 9* at 8000 rpm. :-/

It seems like you've been through two controllers now. Is that correct?

razorlab - Humor me and plug off that high flowing PCV setup you created. I believe there is a reason that on vac the OEM PCV is quite restricted compared to your new setup. I believe you wrote above that the problem is not under boost but under vac/idle.

My setup is currently like this, but minus the hose from the intake manifold to the PCV valve on the sealed catch can. Both the intake manifold and the PCV at the catch can is plugged and no hose runs between them. The rest of the diagram is the same though.

Make sure your knock sensor is properly torqued. They will read a bunch of false knock if they come loose.

Welp, F this...
Was putting my .065 oil feed restrictor fitting on today and found out the 90* fitting into my turbo was never tightened down and there is literally no way I can tighten it with the turbo together.
I've had the car back more than two months and I've driven this car maybe two days... arghhhghhhhhhh
