I was just over my friends house last week looking at the article where you had the Vortech twin screw in and my friend got all pissy, "how the hell did he get that blower I called vortech and they said I couldn't buy it yet." haha then he got even more pissed when I told him thats not your setup anymore and we argued about it for a good hour or so cause I told him you have a new turbo build. He was like hell no he doesn't this issue is brand new so I showed him that video and shut him up

Looks good can't wait to see it on the dyno then on the track!

Not even Mark had one of these

Let's see that thing go Mark!

Sounds like this will be a very special Christmas for you Mark! Can't wait to hear the numbers!!!

OK, I've seen you use that term a few times, and I'm sorry but I finally had to say something. I believe the correct term is "UEGO", which is an acronym for "Universal Exhaust Gas Oxygen". In context it is typically referred to as a UEGO sensor. My AEM wideband has one.

Its different. Uegor is a number that Big Stuff 3 uses to let you know the crank/cam timing is working correctly. Its a reference number more then anything. I have seen RET do this so many times now they can get the reference number right within 2 trys. Just so people know the stock tab will put the reference at 30, when it has to be 28. The entire time RET was triple checking 100 other things from pulling the Big Stuff out of Greg's race car, pulling his injectors out of his race car, to pulling out his Big Stuff engine harness with nothing helping. Never expecting the cam to be 180* off. Pulled the timing cover off the first time last night, timed the motor, and the car is now staying consistent. Been a stressful week and a half to say the least.

Well I'm sorry you feel you 'had to say something', but you are wrong, and you do not have a Uegor reading on your car. If you want to know what it is - this is what I sent Dave in a PM when he asked me...

On a standalone system (for any motor) - the 'Uegor' is the number that reflects the synching of the cam sensor and crank sensor. The number on our modular cars is 28. If the number reads anything other than 28 - the car misfires drastically because the Uegor is what sets the timing and firing order of the car.

The "Uegor' is the system the computer uses to set the timing and firing order of the car. It gets its' information and settings directly from the cam and crank sensors.

Here is a vid of the UEGOR reading on the computer...

LOL - believe it or not - I was actually asked by Vortech if I wanted to test the new blower and I said, "NO - I am not interested in 'testing' anything anymore"...

 

[ChevyKiller]

I can't remember who it was but someone was interested in seeing the Jesel Solid Tappets/Followers.

Here's a pic...

It sucks but the reality is 100% my motor got shipped with the cam off 180º and has been the direct source of all the issues we have been having getting it running. At least the problem has been found and things should start moving again...

 

[89scgtstang]

i can't believe they put the cam in 180 off, it just goes to show even the best make mistakes although for 20k they should have triple checked everything especially timing

No doubt. However, The motor came to me directly from RGR in Chicago so Justin never looked at it. Normally, JPC is doing the installs so the motors from RGR go to him for inspection and set-up/installation. JPC was just as 'annoyed' as I was over the issue and have been great to work with through and through this whole build...

Justin and the whole staff there are great to deal with from what I have bought from them.

Those are some awesome looking followers.

I don't recall, but why do you have those? Are they one of the components in making the engine spin faster?

Although they do make the engine spin A LOT faster - their true value is that they aid your valve train to hold up while you spin the shit out of it...lol

They are 'the shit' on any motor...period.

BTW: cam is now degreed right and the car is 100% FINALLY. The car sounded pretty mean with 180º off cam and running on 4 cylinders - holy shit how it sounds now and rev's like a jet engine... Will be making 1000+ rwhp pulls first thing in the morning...

Vids coming shortly

 

[Chris06GT]

Mark, that is awesome bro!!! Be glad to see some action out of this thing!!

 

[SirKnightTG]

Cool. So how much faster? Like 8K...? Or more!?

 

[SirKnightTG]

Yes you hold the record for best sounding 4-banger ever.

I knew that didn't sound right, I really didn't look at the article, I was too busy looking up this topic and others on my phone haha

glad to hear it mark post up some videos from the dyno tuning if you can.

 

[hotairgypsy]

looking great mark!!!! i have a dumb question for ya....in all the zillions of dollars ya spent under the hood to look bad ass couldn't ya have powdercoated the damn alternator!!!! damn that thing sticks out!! yes if you get the right person it can be taken apart, PC'd, then put back together.

keep up the great adventure and yes i understand why you are grumpy on the cam being off 180* ...you would think all would have been checked prior to shipping

 

[rford426]

wow can't wait for these vids!!!

 

[RRRoamer]

HD videos!!! I want HD videos!!!
