It definitely needs to go back on the dyno. It's still pretty much untuned. Even if it doesn't do what I want I would still rather play it safe than sorry

Re: my new project
 

Boost will come as soon as I can afford to get it back on the dyno!

Re: my new project
 

Alrighty so I already have a new axle and I ordered control arm bushings that should be here wednesday. So I will replace those parts wednesday at my work and just check the car over again. Then it's just putting some miles on it and making sure all is good to go.

Tentatively I'm trying to get a tune scheduled for the 15th or 16th so we'll see what happens. Otherwise they're booked out till like the 28th :-/

Re: my new project
 

Alrighty round 4 on the dyno is set for the 16th. Hopefully some of this luck I've had recently will continue on!

Re: my new project
 

Nice, now don't blow it up!

Re: my new project
 

I'm not making any promises on that one! Hahaha :-D

Re: my new project
 

Sweet glad to see it going back on.

Re: my new project
 

Sometimes you get a little lucky with these cars! Good luck on the tuning, did you get your fuel issue all sorted out?

Re: my new project
 

Yes sir I did get the fuel issues figured out. It was one of the rubber lines in the tank had ruptured. Last time it was on the dyno we seemed to get all the bugs sorted out and were finally able to get to the actual tuning

Re: my new project
 

Well with the exception of losing my hood today was a relatively successful day. I replaced the control arm bushings, drained the oil, then hooked up our engine flush machine and flushed the sucker out so if there was any metal in any of the oil galleys there shouldn't be any more. I changed the oil filter, changed the inline filter for the turbo oil feed.

I put new plugs in it, shortened the coil boots, put bolts in places that were missing bolts, (fenders, t-case, flywheel inspection cover, etc) and just cleaned up as much stuff as I could.

Also I removed the rear crash bumper should be about 32lbs removed from the car. Which will bring my total weight savings since the got the car to around 47lbs.

Re: my new project
 

Nice!!

So it doesn't make any weird noises anymore?

Re: my new project
 

Kinda. Sounds like something in the drivetrain might be clunking at times. But i think Ihad one of my carrier bbearings on upside down so I flipped it around. we'll see if that helps. Plus my carrier bearing bushings are definitely shot. They will have to be replaced eventually. I'll know more after I drive it back to its parking place

Re: my new project
 

Remember what I said about replacing those, its not a simple swap job.

Re: my new project
 

Oh I remember! The car seems better than before. No more weird wobble on the highway. Less noises. There are a few things that seem off. There a noise like a vibration on decel. Sometimes when starting out Ithink I hear something in the driveline clunk. 3rd gear felt funny shifting into sometimes. Idk I could be overly paranoid right now ha

Re: my new project
 

You should of brought it out last night. We had a good match for you. 6.0 & 76mm at 10lbs.

Re: my new project
 

Still no tune, no laptop, plus the last time it was on the dyno it had e70 in it ;-). Fun shall be had after the 16th if all goes well!

I ended up having to help me buddy move since he's nice enough to store my car for me for free

Re: my new project
 

I had power inverter and laptop.
It's all good that's only 2 weeks away.

Re: my new project
 

Then fail on my part lol

Re: my new project
 

Good luck on the 16th man!! I hope the car treats you good this round

Re: my new project
 

Thanks! I need all the luck I can get!
