  • Turned the boost up............

    Finaly found a bolt that fits the cap of my wastegate.
    Turned it 2 turns.... Hmm.... barely moved at all, better give it 5.
    Turned the WOT timing down to 10* just to be safe.

    Rolling onto the freeway 45mph 2nd gear. I eased into it, boost gauge shot to 17psi of boost, at which point both tires broke lose. Never even hit full throttle. The feeling of that torque is beyond words.

    After changing my pants, I looked at the log file. NO knock [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img] , but another half second longer, and the maf would have maxed. Good thing the tires let go.

    Time for more boost....

          Streched out the MAF signal with MAFT, but I'm running out of fuel at around 4900 and 15psi.
          I'll have to switch back to gasoline, or get bigger injectors I guess.

          Turned the boost down to 11psi for now, car feels like a dog, after 17.

                Yes, you're right dyno and then track.

                There's a V6 Stang with a stock motor that turned it's wick up to 17 psi and did 10.98 et on the track. Ofcourse that was with two small turboes. I wonder how a big one would do.

                    well unfortunatly, the F-bodys are having trouble with the MAF. Look at my sig. 330 @ 7PSI. I average 22 HP per PSI. you can do the math fron there. Before I put 315's in the rear I would break the tire loose at the top of second gear (245 tires). It's a great feeling! I'm gald others are experiencing it now [img]smile.gif[/img]

                      MAFT works great as far as I can tell. Its accurate to about 38lb/min, and the recurved table goes to 55lb/min so I think I should be good there.

                      What did you end up doing Linx?

                      I'm curious about one thing, according to injector duty cycle tables, I'm at 106.3% duty cycle at 4000RPM and 17psi. How is this possible?

                        your pcm is just holding the injectors open trying to supply fuel after 4000 RPM your VE falls off and you dont need as much fuel

                        Linx is going to mega squirt. :eek:
