BlackySS13 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 We'll we took her last Wed. but we could not get boost past 15psi. Tune was soft. All-in-all, i'm pleased with our results for our first time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 i know how it is man , the shakedown runs are always kind of not fun becasue you know you have more but you have to get them done, its like going to the dentist you hate when there in there with a drill but when all is done your future is what counts. was the boost issue a waste gate or bov issue? see both blowers and turbos can have boost issues to all you this is better'ers. even though turbos usually win the efficiency . what were your 60's? what size stall? whats your goal for boost?

BlackySS13 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Stall is a PI at 3000. 60's were right at 2.0, but we didn't even touch the timing down low. I want to see if we can get 20psi out of her. So much is diff now compared to when we ran the 11.8. We ran on bigger shoes, 22's, a fiberglass bed cover, new 370 with 9.5 compression ration etc.... As far as the boost issue, we think we have too many splits and T's in the lines. Or we might replace the wastegate spring. It's a 7lb spring right now.

04CHASE Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 what does the stall really stall too? i had the same one and i couldnt get it to 3000. my guess is your spring but im no turbo expert. i know the feeling of having good times with bad 60ft's. with a good one youll be back with 11's in no time. how was the weather any idea of the d/a?

BlackySS13 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 It get there, but I almost want it restalled a lil higher. Maybe over the winter. Weather was actually decent, is was about 70 with low humidity. Not sure about the d/a. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Man, you really moved with your install and shakedowns! Easy does it and soon you will be laying down the big numbers. Post up pice of the ABEAR covers when they arrive! As for the PI. I went with the 9.5" from the 10.5 PI because they told me that to get the bigger 10.5 to truly stall higher than 3000, it would be a challenge. I didn't get a good feeling from that so I asked for my options and the 9.5 was recommended. I will be running the 9.5" 34-3600 PI stall. That converter isn't really a street converter however my truck isn't going to be towing and hauling anything anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackySS13 Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yea, TJ was bustin his ass. Poor guy, i've been way too busy to help. We'll get the psi thing figured out and then maybe i'll do something with the stall over the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 nice numbers for just a shakedown run, can't wait to see what she does when all the fine tuning is done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackySS13 Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well, my fuel pressure regulator diaphram took a poop on me, so that was one reason she was idling poorly, and my PCM is kinda fritzed too. Luckily, I have a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
