Went out in my roomates TII yesturday with my roomate and 1revvin7. Did some tuning with the wideband. We still can't figure out why hes not hitting full boost. It levels off at WOT at about 6 psi as if he had a huge vaccume leak, but we've searched all over and cant find one. So we decided to unhook the wastegate and let er rip. He needs tires bad, at 4psi they break loose and it feels like hes got over 300 to the wheels haha, but all in all when its all done being tuned and we figure out this leak it should move.

4 psi? maybe 14 psi?

Damit, wait up guys! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png Thats it. Im getting mine done by the end of the weekend. E-whats your scheduel look like????

nope. We did fine one boost leak, bov was set too soft. @ 4psi it spins tires through 1st and 2nd without droppping the clutch https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png.

I take that back, if we start off at idle and punch it, the tires start chirping at 4psi, then at 6psi break totally loose, it does peak at 10psi while the tires are still screaming..

I bet that was a sight to see, 3 dudes in a Fc looking at a keyboard taking pictures going down the road lol.

Oh it is a sight...whenever we go out banging gears we have people mugging us at every stop light wondering what is going on https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

damn, must be a strong motor. My j-spec was like that when i got everything put back together.



you get up to atmospheric and she want's to get naughty. I just pet her on the dash at tell her to calm down.



Now it's time for bigger tires! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

We got some tires that can hold the power. Compression was like 110-120 on the motor.

Does having a BOV set too soft really effect power like that? @_@



With my hand-made boost controller I can only manage like 8psi in 1st gear, 10 in 2nd, spike at 12 but sits at 10psi in 3rd gear, and a solid 12psi in 4th gear.



If I have an electronic boost controller I'd want 12psi in 1st, and 2nd, then 14psi in 3rd, 4th, and 5th..



That outta get me to about 300hp ^_^

Having a bov set too soft will make a boost leak, it was hard to find. A casual spray with starter fluid yielded nothing, but when we drowned the bov we found the leak.
