scottyMIz Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Finally the boost is where it should be.It would spike up to 15 then back down to 12 or 13 i was getting so pissed.Here is the story i was thinking i should unhook the wastegate hose and see what it does.So i do it and took it for a ride well it definately went up way up it was hitting 25psi before i could let my foot off the throttle and on the way back to the garage i babied it kept it under 10 psi so i wouldn't mess anything up.So i get home and change the restrictor in the line(i have a dial-a-boost that was maxxed out)at first i went bigger and i went slower about 10 psi in any gear then i thought ok the other way.So i use a rivet and take it for a ride better but still low 12psi.So i crush the end of the restrictor and take it for another dig holy $#!^ it hit 20 before i could let off so i backed it down it dropped to about 9psi so i was happy it was still adjustable.Turned it up til 15 and tried second and third it was boosting high so i backed it off.I haven't tried fourth or fifth yet but i will.It is so nice to have 15 in second and 12 in first.I'm going to change referance points on the wastegate so it will keep a constant pressure thru the gears.Now comes the injectors!and wheels from scottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimZ Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Scotty... I'm only gonna say it one more time... YOU NEED FUEL BEFORE YOU NEED BOOST! Have you addressed your fuel delivery problems yet? If you don't address that, I can guarantee that you'll be replacing pistons soon. Not trying to be a prick, but you really need to make sure you can supply enough fuel, BEFORE you start cranking up the boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 TimZ, how the hell did you manage 12psi in first? what rpm? got a webpage of your specs, im curious about your setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyMIz Posted August 25, 2001 Author Share Posted August 25, 2001 I know your trying to save my engine tim.I was thinking could i use some secondary injectors?Mount them in the intake and have them fire when the boost gets up?Or would it just be easier to change the injectors?I don't think your bing a prick i know you've been there before and don't want anyone else to suffer finantually.I just got all blown away by your car and want to go fast.Ok ok i'll get more fuel before i get more boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
