Palanza's 06 GT Teksid Build lets goo

[BruceH]

Cold will add boost because the air is denser. You could look up the DA and see just how dense the air is.

Well I'll be interested to see how much boost drops from going with the offroad H pipe. If its really minor then it may not be the cats, if its significant then probably the culprit. I'm not really sure how much boost I can safely see to this built engine.

Are they the stock style canister mufflers? If so I've seen those make 2lb of boost. I've also seen them blow up.

Yeah they look like a big cylinder "can" lol. Ugh! Well I'll just cross my fingers on that lmao.

 

[chandlern]

Haven't seen anything blow up yet, but I started out at 11-12lb and every once and a while would see 15, turns out one of the baffles in the flowmasters that came on the car got loose and would block the exhaust...switched to Magnapacks now I see 10-11lbs.

Catless Hpipe coming in today so we will see whats up.

Hey has anyone in here removed that fabric liner from under the hood? Just trying to free up a little more space to close the hood better.

Yes, right away. It's there for noise emissions and doubles as a fire retardant.

 

[palanza7]

Well she won't start up. I think I flooded the engine. I fired it up outside to pull in from the rain, I didn't let it warm up though, went to pull out and it died. Won't start now. If I crank it with the pedal to the floor it begins to start and then falls on its face. No Idea lol lovely

Mine will do this when the battery is low.

 

[palanza7]

Lito still thinks I've got a vac leak. I just sprayed down the engine wieh starting fluid heard no changes ugh

 

[eighty6gt]

I have never found a vacuum link of concern with ether/carb cleaner/brake cleaner/farts/propane/etc...

 

[palanza7]

yeah im not sure about the fluid as i sprayed it on my air filter and didnt hear a change in RPM either LOL going to buy some carb cleaner and try that instead

put the offroad H on, it isnt all that bad. i do think im leaking exhaust on one of the clamps somewhere. it still doesnt sound as good as it did with the cats tho. i think i dropped like 3 psi but i cant get a good 3rd WOT due to the wet roads

BTW - traction control.. does that work by killing fuel to ur engine?

do you have access to a smoke machine ? or a big hookah party , LOL .
The smoke machine will send smoke thru the system and you WILL find any leak .

The ignition spark is retarded and the fuel/air ratio is modulated to attenuate torque delivered to the slipping tire. If the condition persists, cylinder cut-off occurs ,up to seven cylinders , i also think in some instances that it applies brake pressure to the slipping wheel .

So like fill the engine bay with smoke and see where its moving to? lol

no silly .use the hookah to fill the work area first , LOL .
the smoke machine hooks up to a vac. line or whatever and blows the smoke thru all the lines
and or motor . we use it on a/c , vac. leaks and so on .

Oh it will apply braking to the slipping wheel alright. More than a few folks here in town have trashed their rear brakes by leaving the TC on.

You should see what happens when you leave the TC on at track days!!!

lol I'll be sure to keep turning it off.

So I'm noticing another issue. When I'm getting on it, when I shift from 2nd, to 3rd, to fourth. After each shift when I let the clutch out, the car is like.. lagging. The engine takes a second to rev back up again. The car shudders a bit and my boost gauge shows it going back to VAC then right back to boost really quickly. Any ideas what this could mean? I think it even backfired once.

EDIT: A good word for this would be like.. hesitation

 

[skwerl]

You need to learn the 'no lift shift'.

Lol it wouldn't surprise me if I was just bad at driving but I mean i never experienced it before. Maybe the fuel pressure isn't staying up? It did it in 4th gear just cruising when I pushed the throttle down quickly. Took like half a second to accelerate.

That's not right. It should show up in the data.
