My car is still running extremely well. I am very very happy with it. I have some fine tuning to do on the boost by gear/rpm. I will get there. The cold and rain have slowed me down to a crawl.
I am fine tuning it myself. Last edited by Spooler; 02-09-2024 at 07:12 PM. |

If anyone wants some pointers on how to drive a fast 2wd turbo car post up. I will try to write it down in words. After 2 people crashed last year and one that is struggling at 13psi of boost I might need to spread some knowledge of years of experience. I am an old dude at 54. I started driving turbo cars back in 1992 and had to learn on my own with nobody to teach me. Have I looped it, put my car in the ditch, etc? Yup, you are supposed to do that with lower powered cars before you step into a faster car. If I make a mistake with my car it won't be good.

I can't remember if I posted this or not. If you have worn out valve guides on a rebuild, this may be the culprit. We have some janky exhaust valve springs on the 2009 to 2014 engines. They changed them in 2015 to a beehive design from what I remember. I currently run dual valve springs with 1mm larger valves.

My last build was all about efficiency. The Fast Intentions turbo kit starts to have issues at 800whp. It was only designed for 700whp so it actually does really well. I had to fix some of the issues. All the pipings sizes were increased and the intercooler (CAC) was increased. I don't do the water meth stuff, I just think of it as a band aid. A custom intercooler was made for me by MA. The core is a 28x12x4.5 Bell unit. The freaking thing works like a champ. High IAT's and backpressure issues can and will take out a headgaskets along with other parts. Rod bearings, piston rings, pistons, etc.

I really don't care too much what others think. I stepped out and followed the data. It told me where to go. I broke my car twice. I was doing what was needed this time to get it to live a long life. Do I care about 60 to 130 times? Yeah, I will get to it in time. I just want to enjoy my car for a while. Do I care about drag racing. Noop, I like watching it but the drag strip is where you go to see parts fly out the back. I am very much so enjoying the Emtron. I am not locked into a tuner, I can see all the data as far as the tune is concerned. Nothing is locked or unknown to me. I have enough sensors to keep me informed on what is going on. The 5in. screen is awesome. I don't need a laptop to see the data I need just running around having fun and I don't need a bunch of gauges that I have no where to install. You can't read them anyway when having fun. Only way to know exactly what is going on is to log it. My ECU logs all the time and I can log it straight to a laptop if I want to. I just have a smile on my face at the moment. That's all that matters.

Welp, someone else has found out running a coolant pressure sensor with the factory ECU is nothing but trouble. Depending on where you grab the 5 volts to run the sensor, it will throw codes related to it. The Factory ECU doesn't like it at all. You will get all kinds of drivability issues. Misfires, etc.
