I bought some fancy parts for it.
I bet a lot of stories start this way...
So I was raising the boost.. on my hallman and before I was only running 18 psi. Well the instructions say to try .5 to 1 turn at a time and well, "ain't nobody got time for dat", right? So, I went 3 turns thinking that would get me to about 21.
I was giving a co-working a ride this morning and hammered it in 1st and it shot up and hit the rev limiting so hard I must've fouled a plug. It ran rough for about a minute and smoothed out.
So, at lunch I thought I better go do a 2nd gear pull to be sure the motor isn't hurt. It takes off absolutely like a bat out of hell and pulls clean. I did another run and tried to watch the boost gauge and it went up to 25 PSI and settled around 24 or so.
I checked the logs and afr's are great with no knock. I was going to go a little slower up to this much boost, but I guess I'm already there.
I hit 193 peak load on my 427AWHP virtual dyno and today hit 259 and this is only in 2nd. This turbos spool so fast it doesn't seem to make a difference, so it is great to get the tune close just using 2nd.
A rolling start in 2nd feels like a huge launch used to.
You know what I like most about the flash ecu? If your tune is solid, it doesn't really move just because you are running a lot more load. I was running mid to high 11s at 18 psi and it is the same now.
Plenum, throttlebody are in
Finally made the rear oil return clear the axle. That's a huge relief.
Now to get this downpipe to line up properly and I should be good :)
Sounds a lot like Chris Hill's 32 psi boom run in SLT back in the day, only he wasn't so lucky, hence the boom.Quote:

Sent from the garage
I feel like a schlub saying this... I havent drove it since last Monday. I got my little ranger for a DD and the 3000 hasnt moved!! I got new insurance for it and put the ID card in the glove box..
Our cars smell awesome when left sitting still for a week.
Glad mines not the only one lol.Quote:

Also tested my theory that AWD Driftz blow turbos..m my conclusion is they dont ;)
