Double post whore!!1

The kn filter and adapter are at the post office and will stay there until monday morning unfortunetly. Then I work 9-9 on monday so can't install it until after work. Then, I have to do a boost leak test after that and I can't do that here because I don't have an aircompressor to use anymore. So I have to go to my dads and do that monday night or tuesday morning real early because tuesday afternoon I am getting tuned at 1pm at STM in Rochester (2hrs away). Holy procrastination batman! Did get injector seals and orings done along with throttle shaft seals done!

You let him off too easy

[ned032002]

KN filter and adapter are in!! Check the pic out (not very good but it's the only one I took)

[david-b]

The spark plug cover etched, cut, or painted? Hard to tell from pic.

Looking great Ned... keep it going

Yall some bastids. Get off my balls

But hey man....that filter setup looks aloooooottt better. No way you can loose performance like that.

And I'm really digging the plug wire cover

[ned032002]

Thats a Neds original right there!!1!

It's a black cover w/ a "got boost?" decal. I'm a little concerned of the heat beating the decal to death but I've driven the car a bit since I put that on and have had no issues.

Today I'm going to STM for my tune. I will check in later with an update. I'm a bit nervous about the drive up cause who knows what can go wrong.

[david-b]

Decal should be fine. I have vinyl on my strut bar going right over the valve cover and it gets burning hot. Usually with vinyl, the heat helps it actually stick to the surface better. Not sure what you used for that, but I'm thinking it should be fine.

Oh, and good luck on the tune. Cant wait to see some numbers and videos.

+1, let us know what the dealio izzzz

[ned032002]

Well here's the deal

Took her up today and she did good. They got me right on the Dyno and got her ready to roll. 1st problem was getting Link to connect to there laptop but that was solved pretty quick. Had issues with the wbo2 not reading properly in link, need a buffer circuit. They use their wbo2 to get her going. Base hp, 234hp after getting idle looking good and air/fuel straight. Still getting excessive knock. Look for boost leak, none found. Changed plugs cause 1 was blowing out when more boost was added. Installed new plugs gapped at 24. Getting weird dips in hp curve. she tops out then just does a little up down for no reason other than possibly a vac issue, bov issue, or exhaust issue, or something worse. Check all issues and looks like the catalytic converter is probably the issue. So, at 19psi with -7 degree of timing, she puts down 235ish. Trouble shoot'd knock sensor by deactivating it in link and advancing timing to -6 degrees would either not gain anything because of real knock being present or make power because knock isn't really there. Sure enough at 19psi, w/ -6 degrees of timing, and knock sensor turned off...she put down 250hp. So E thinks bad knock sensor or possibly bad gas. Put her back to -7 timing until I get a new knock sensor then I can mess with it some more. Obviously there's a lot more power to be had here.

Ordered the oem knock sensor and should be here in the next week.

Here's a video people. Emery was the driver/tuner/guru

Nice numbers not to bad for a 16g turbo. Need to get that boost up to 22psi or so when you get these problems sorted out.

[ned032002]

I'm looking forward to just the timing advance benefits. I was hoping for 260 at the end of today and it seems that's within reach next time.

[david-b]

260 is a piece of cake. Just need to get those little kinks worked out and it'll be there and then some. Car sounds nice on the dyno.
