  1. it pings cause you have to much timing!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. its not backpressure...its velocity, scalvenging of pulses and heat. ppl confuse simple saying of backpressure with the right theory. larger pipes cool air and slow down the pulses, smaller pipes are hotter air and faster pulses but having to small of a pipe will cause the pulses to start to roll among themselves. to large of a pipe and the pulses create turbulance since they cant escape fast enough. ppl say they lost power, NO you didnt lose power you just moved your power up higher in a different part of powerband. ths is why you have to truely decide what your goals are for optimal exhaust. I run a open 4" exhaust on my 4.8, my exhaust pipe is cool to touch after driving for an hour of normal driving. i beat on my truck and go touch it and its hot for a short time. the 4" allows my exhaust to cool faster. it works for me but doesnt mean it will work for you
  3. on the dyno on a bolt on ls1 i gained 1hp by removing 2* timing. i went from 30* to 28 and picked up 1hp. we had this talk before your motor doesnt have enough compression to need the higher octane. put it on dyno to see if youre helping your cause or hurting it
  4. 4" tailpip isnt a major factor. the pipes up to the muffler have more effect on the motor. the SS comes with duals from factory. ppl then toss on dual 2.5 or even dual 3" that right there is 5" to 6" of exhaust diameter, a 4" tailpipe is smaller diameter. Also alot of ppl exit the exhaust out the front of wheel, so if you install a 4" tailpipe that exits out behind the tire your doing basically the same as having it exit out the side but will actually be quieter using similar mufflers
  5. very true but a good syn oil leaves parts with a thin film on them so they dont have issues upond a cold start
  6. 5w30 is a waste in any region besides the frozen north. none of my vehicles run that stuff. blazer runs 10w30 and silverado runs 15w40. . the thinner oil makes for more of piston slap. my silverado with 15w40 is much quieter and runs much better then previous motors on that 5w30 crap. My bike even runs 20w50
  7. x2565 cant help you if you dont speak on what truck is for
  8. you can have the WG a safe distance from the turbo but just remember that your controlling will be effected some. your reaction will be delayed some. my WG is in my crossover which is a few feet from the turbo. Does it work? yes Is it Ideal? No so yes you can relocated your WG away from the ground, its just going to be a little delayed and not as effecicent but it does work!!!!! Also the more flanges and gaskets you have more prone it is to leaks
  9. a IAT reading hot wont hurt the motor unless the tune was fubar. the IAT will richen and pull timing so the truck would be safe. Now this is if the tuner had a clue
  10. i rock a greddy profec S if i had money i would go with Eboost2
  11. keep in mind there are more then one style of 255s. with this being the case there are variances between each 255 in size. also keep in mind some fuel systems are feeding with dual feeds and not just one -6. Good luck on this but remember when doing custom work you have to talior to the custom needs. my setup has 2 -6 feeds coming out of it and 1 -6 return.
  12. 42s are a waste if your a greedy person. for price it costs to buy injectors might as well save the money and go right for the 60s. if your a very laid back person that never is greedy then 42s are fine but wait you bought a blower/turbo cause your greedy for power so your best bet is to buy 60s
  13. i can attest to that one. Hell clones of real cars sell for big money as well
  14. well there are afew bone stock LQ9s making huge numbers. 1 i recall is mid 8s on power. thats pretty impressive and isnt to far from the 1k you asked for. motors die cause of tunes. these motors are rock solid but fail cause of tunes and ppl making them leaner and not taking appriotate measures. also mid 8s to wheels is almost 1k at flywheel
  15. i wasnt saying AC i said air as in air injection on certian vehicles like fbodys
  16. there is so much useless things the manufactor puts on these vehicles for EPA shit isnt even funny. to much to make it complicated and so everyone can say to much stuff ill let dealer fix it. my truck is so basic its like a 75 chevy with a few extra wires. dont need smog, dont need evap, dont need air, dont need cats, dont need egr. im sure im forgetting other shit. motors ran for years with no issues without this stuff. let epa in here and they ruin vehicles. and for some that say fumes. properly tune your vehicle and you wont have that.
  17. tune it out just dont take it to a dealership for inspection. my truck has none of that. just fuel lines and a breather line
  18. rods in block is cause of tune and 16 little bolts. upgrade the bolts and have dead on tune without having a Heat pump for a blower and youll make numbers you never thought would be possible. just find yourself a nice solid turbo and be done with it instead of that turbo. now if you want to use a budget one use a Holset from cummins
  19. no have plenty of turbo left. just need another spring and more dialing in of tune
  20. thanks everyone for the kind words and to everyone that supported this build over the past year. i really appreciate it!!!
  21. YOU DONT NEED EVAP, tune it right and they will never know its not there!!!
  22. i was going to try for dyno record at this shop it was made by a integra and was 770 whp
  23. video is also loaded by youtube..... and chase that was 16psi
