  1. I would get another mechanic. If he suspecs the AFM he should check it. The specs are listed. Maybe someone else with stock EFI knowledge can help though.

     

    I just read your other post. Your ECU is not OBD I or II.

     

    My .02... I Would put a timing light on it and rev it to see if it stays were it should or moves all over. A dial advance light would be better so you can check as it adds timing. Either way you will see if it's steady, increases with rpms or is all over. If it's knocking at 2K it's just over advanced, not detonation, especially if there really isn't any load, and no boost, I would guess more than 40*.

  2. I think the RB26 has 9.6CR?? and that is VERY high for a turbo engine,

     

    They're 8.5.

     

    I also don't think you'll get 10 psi out of it. Compression doesn't have that much to do with lag either. Atleast not enough to merit a high CR.

     

    If you can accept a low boost set up (5 psi) and it's free to borrow I would run it. Using a NA ecu that doen't retard timing or add fuel under boost would also be a problem.

  3. A ported head would have no effect at idle. There isn't enough air moving through the head to make a difference with a throttle plate that is just barely cracked open. A vacuum leak and timing, valve or ignition would effect it though. I think you may have missed something during reassembly.

  4. 50 gph would be enough but depending on turbo it will take 10-18 psi so that plus 40psi. If it is rated at atleast 45 GPH at 50-60 psi it would be enough. I would get the 255l one though, if you have the HP addtiction 300 rwhp will only tide your craving for a short while then you'll need to upgrade again The 255 one is good for an easy 500rwhp.

  5. For bulbs I tried Hella bulbs side by side with a no name bulb, both were 55/65 and there wasn't a visible difference in brightness. If you have to buy the bulbs seperatly I would get the higher wattage bulbs. I would either run the 55/100's or the 80/100's. If the 80/100's are adjusted properly they are fine.

  6. I have a T04 with an O-trim exhaust wheel, .69 housing and a .60 a/r compressor housing with a compressor wheel one step smaller than a 60-1 which I believe makes it a 57 trim but I'm unsure.

     

     

    A T4B H trim would be one step smaller than a 60-1 as far as flow. 60-1 is not an E wheel, it also flows alot more than any E, as does an H. How many blades does it have?

     

    I run a O trim/.69 on my L28 and did run an O trim/ tang .70 hot side on my 7M. I think it is pretty good for overall power without sacraficing to much spool.

  7. the car smokes pretty bad ' date=' can it really be that bad if its just leaking on the exhaust side? ?[/quote']

     

    Yes.... Pull the down oioe off. If the wheel is wet/dark looking (shinny) it's leaking. Should be dry.

  8. I thought if the turbo seal was bad would tend to smoke a lot on boost' date=' but not a lot otherwise.

    [/quote']

     

     

    Mine would ONLY smoke at idle. After coming to a stop it would get so bad, I would usually have to shut it off till the light turned green :oops:.
