Re: help with the quest for 11's

I'm sure if I turn boost up to that level I can hit a 13 no prob.. I mean the truck feels strong in my opinion but obviously the numbers don't show that lol. As for the more in it part, you mean my truck or yours?

both!!!!!

Hahah alright, maybe I'll give the target af thing a shot tomorow when I get off.

Edit going to find a leakdown tester today and give it a shot.. Also want to regap the plugs since I'm pretty sure there still gapped for a stock setup.. What should new gap be?

.25 works well into really high boost- like over 21

Re: help with the quest for 11's

sooo just did the drivers side leakdown test.. 1 came to 15%, 3 came to 11%, and 5 came to 13%.. i also regapped the plugs to .028 now i started the motor up for a sec and now its got a horrible tick and the wb is reading constant 11 at idle which its never done... how the **** did this happen just from pulling the plugs??



UPDATE: just pulled valve cover off and started it, its something wrong on cylinder 1. when i watch them run, i can see the 2nd from front one not boucing as much as the others which im guessing is the intake valve?

UPDATE AGAIN! just checked compression on cylinder 1, and its now at 30psi... WTF is going on?

ANOTHER UPDATE: did a leakdown test again on cylinder 1, and its still in the green at about 18%, so how does it pass a leakdown, but has shitty compression?

Well talked to a buddy who is a legit mechanic, and he said it sounds like a collapsed lifter.. Which I think wouldnt be to bad of a fix just needing to pull intake.. What's your guys opinion?

Re: help with the quest for 11's

it was a little low on oil, i added some and started up.. the tick is gone. now when i give it gas it dies instantly and wb reads lean when i rev.

edit: plugged the laptop in and checked what the **** was going out.. somehow a wire on my map sensor broke cause it to go crazy, now when i rev it works.. just ugh...

Yeah, maybe time for a set of lifters. A little low on oil would not cause a lifter to loose it's prime....When you say "a little low on oil", how much was "a little"?

Re: help with the quest for 11's

the problem has been fixed.. just a bunch of bad luck at once.. the front of the truck was lifted up so i could go threw wheel well, the oil was at the halfway mark between the full/empty.. i put some oil in it and click went away.. sometime when i pulled valve cover off i must have caught a wire for the map sensor and it broke causing the rev problem.. and i had a broken compression gauge.. we took truck out last night and still runs just fine. Now im trying to fix a broken throttle cable

Re: help with the quest for 11's

Nice man, glad you figured it out....Once you get the tune fixed up a bit, buy a alky inj kit and then you can start turning up the boost. Right now your prob not seeing much hp improvement cause it's running rich. Just getting it running right will make a huge difference...Then alky and more boost, you will see big improvements....

Re: help with the quest for 11's

new time!!! very happy on this!! I spun like hell outta the hole to.. i know its dm, but it beats paying 50bucks for a track day to get close to same numbers.
http://www.mediafire.com/?r0scc54s43fat8q
60" 1.4
1/8 7.9 at 84mph
1/4 12.7 at 101mph

When you go to the track you will know how much difference the time really is....Just fyi I've run a best of 10.86 at the track on a 1.60 60', with zero changes it has run a 10.60 on a 1.45 60' on a brand new G-Tech pro meter....I don't post times that I don't get at the track cause they are not accurate. (especially the 60') Glad you got it straightened out, but the track timer will tell the true "new time"...

Re: help with the quest for 11's

I know hey will be different, but in past when I was in 13s my times were almost Identicle between track and dm. At least now I have a idea.

Looks pretty good.
It looks like it's shifting around 4200-4300. Maybe bumping that up a little will help, like 4500-4600.
