Project 67mm build for a redneck

[jeffie on juice]

So haven't really worked on the car cause been waiting for some odd and end parts, so today i put a couple hours into the car
Installed
1- Ford Racing Manifold
2- 60 lbs injectors ( didn't uses the lock rings IDK why )
3- Removed all the A/c lines from the car, with condenser
4- Install a/c delete
5- installed Oil feed line to turbo
6- new factory coils and HTO spark plugs gapped at .032

Pretty much by mid week all my other shit will be here, still hoping for in 2 weeks to be sitting outside the door Blow BY Racing waiting for my tune on a saturday with the enclosed trailer

Found smaller OIL filter to use if u all want can send u the part number, still has a 15psi valve

got my AEM true boost gauge WTF it is so hard to use i am so lost

I was going to go with an AEM gauge type controller
It was 200% shit.I cannot say enough BAD things about that crappy controller. If you want to try to get it working/work with AEM's warranty process be my guest. You're better off with an E-boost or an Apexi unit.

.32 is going to be iffy.
If you're not aware the increased pressure can cause spark blow-out, which means the increased concentration of air can cause the spark to not produce proper ignition of the cylinder. You should be fine, but if you try to get into boost and then power just flat lines and you hear a quick repeating thud (best I can describe it) then it's probably gapped too far.

0.032 is what lightblade suggested me to gap them at WITH RUNNING 10-11 POUNDS

I agree about aem, not a fan of any of their products.

.032 gap is perfect for 10-11psi. I got spark blowout at around 14psi at .032, and I current run .028 gap with 16psi.

Spark blowout is exactly like hitting a rev limiter is the best way to describe it lol.

 

[jeffie on juice]

So what the fuck do i do with the gauge i am so mad,
what you all think dump the gauge and keep the hallman manual boost control?

THANKS TO jp

I have ran .032 on my HTOs with 20+ psi with no blowout .

Maybe my MSD coils ARE doing something... I plan to stay at .032 at 27 psi with the DIS4 setup , we shall see what it does...

 

[Vashthe3rd]

I'm just going off my experience with it, I was getting blow out until we went below .032.
Had to gap them myself after the shop I ordered them through didn't do it right.

Really , at 10 psi ? Its odd how some cars blowout at 10-12 psi and others will do 16-20 psi. I wonder what the reson behind this is?

Now that I think about it the original tuner I used when I was at 12 psi had an issue and said it was blowout (I didnt trust them much , later for good reason) thats when the MSD coils went in . I thought it was the coils till I heard all the comments about them but maybe there is something to them.

Throwing some more ideas out there.

Could also be the way boost comes on with the turbo down low vs a centri sc. I also had oil leaking into the coldside at the time which im sure wasn't helping.

Also superchargers have a higher bsfc/consume more fuel and have a richer wot a/f. The more gas, litle wider gap, little hotter spark may work out. My setup runs 11.9ish wot af/.

 

[AbdullaGT500]

Isn't 11.9 a little on the lean side for a turbo setup?

 

[jeffie on juice]

Well got my self a upr oil catch can.

What do u guys think about the gt500 throttle body vs the new ford racing throttle body?

Hate to waste 500 bucks on something i don't need

Don't bother with it yet, just get the car up and running right

 

[AbdullaGT500]

You'll be pushing more than enough power than the stock internals can handle, so I would save the money for something else.

 

[jeffie on juice]

I just want everything tuned for whats on the car, that was my issue with nitrous i would add something or change something and would run funny til i got it retuned

The only reason I have the Ford Racing tb on my blow though set up is because it looks nice . I stock tb is fine for your turbo. I might gain 2-5 hp with it but for the money, it really isn't worth it on a blow though setup unless you want every last hp.

What was wrong with the AEM? I had one on my old DSM for over 2 years issue free, I have one on the Mustang, I also have a friend who has one in his Evo with no issues.

 

[AbdullaGT500]

I had a tru boost on an evo that I bought, I played with it one time and could never get it to work again lol.

Don't worry about them. Blow thru TB is different than draw thru.

The money you were going to spend on the TB might be better suited buying the SCT Pro Racer Package perhaps?
