Ok cheers exactly what I wanted to hear before I start pushing a bit more timing into it. Aiming around 11.5 under boost, but at the moment it is a bit richer than that up in the rpm. Your brothers holding up well to 14 psi? Is that standard motor and on pump fuel? Intercooler? How much boost can th...

How much timing are you guys with turbo buicks running? Am currently running about 24 degrees at around 8 pound. I would have thought this was a bit much. It is on pump fuel, no intercooler. Base tune was about 18 and was breaking down under full load. Have crept up to 24 and has come good, and not ...

Was going awesome still fairly rich in the low 10's under boost then after a couple days of playing around started breaking down. Did a compression test as it was pushing oil out the breather and number one cylinder was no good. Pulled the head off and gasket was still fine so must have done a ring....

Yeah, I was thinking that, but its actually not too bad. That might change when I put the bonnet back on though.

Well managed to sort it. Not sure exactly what it was but unsoldered and resoldered a new socket. Burnt a fresh chip and it all worked. Only went for a quick squirt and goes pretty hard. Will need to add bov it seems as it blew the intake piping off. Still pretty rich and got knock retard when I was...

000000. Options in the burner prog are bin, normal and normal for fill and what ever the other option is - can't rememer off the top of my head. I'm assuming these are correct? 0x4000 when I tried to burn the standard tune I read off the original memcal and tried burning to the eeprom

202 - yeah me too. Was bought for the old boys 50th as a project for him / and us 4 boys to chip in and help with. Unfortunately although the body is relatively rust free the sub frame has seen better days. It might find its way onto a hilux chassis or something like that one day however. Festy - in...

Well finally finished this thing and have managed to do it for less than a grand including the car.

As this was my first attempt at any real weld...

Cheers thought that might be the case. Are xr6t injectors the same? Might be able to pick a second hand set cheap.

Hey guys, as a bit of a learning experience I am a building turbo v6 out of scraps I have lying around. Have almost finished welding up the manifolds and am hoping to get away with buying as little as possible (have only spent $500 so far, including the car). Was wondering if I could get away with r...
