I think this belongs in another thread.....VIGO powers activate!

My daily spirit was originally an a604 car. It was pretty darn decent 15.48@88mph with very basic mods (home depot CAI, 58mm tb,...

Well, disconnect the controller and try pure wastegate and maybe you can hook up + findout how much boost you should be making on the spring you have.

Ed, you mess with your wastegate yet? Many Chinese wastegates can fit Tial springs though they might not give the same boost (no idea). Hard to imitate high elevation at your house.

See how much boost you get with no boost controller. Best to run the spring that supports near your minimum boost (which seems to be 12psi) so that you have expandability. If you have a 4 or 6psi...

What spring are you using in the wastegate? You only get so much boost over baseline spring, and it hurts a lot more at high elevation. Sometimes guys have to take apart their grainger and play with...

A lot of big dollar turbo cars now just seem to vent and concentrate on having a generous box to filter through. Think I saw one car where the giant (empty and light) tank was located where you...

Something about following speed limit laws makes trailers wiggle :D Sometimes you have to hit the gas to get straight.

You should edit your first thread post to include your current setup. Its lost in 19 pages.

At least from the best time posted you can say you had a real personal victory compare the to the last few years of issues on both turbo cars. Sorta thought that Moroso pump was sounding cool until...

Updates? I have been thinking about cleaning and sealing up the grounds on the Junkyard because doing that made a great difference on my daily. Solved some very annoying drivability issues. The...

Well I think the manual still kinda sucks because if you are reading it for the first time you still have to go back and forth quite a few times to make sure you understand what they are talking...

I wonder what a "smart" method would be to set the tension on the belt? T3's use some sort of gauge right?

Hey Ed, is there a roller or what on the end? I don't know exactly how they work. Last picture is fuzzy. Glad your car ran poorly for easy to fix reasons :D

Well I would assume its not OEM and while I don't normally care, I couldn't say that equates to the same level of assurance. You had a problem so you gotta kick out the first suspect. Belt skipping...

btw what I said above doesn't mean everyone goes solid, it just means people don't try to get away with using old hydraulic tensioners, and they don't want to use anything not OEM. I think they are...

I think just dumping pressure into the cylinder is simpler. You can hear each leaking valve. I wonder if there are some cheap replacement valves available or something pricier that will fit and...

All I know about the 24v heads is what was said about how the heads don't match up well with the smaller displacement blocks and the 3.5 works better. I wonder if the valve sizes are actually the...

Pull the valve out of your compression tester and attach an air line to it. Should be easy to see if you have a massive leak at the valves.

18psi in the slicks will help make sure he doesn't break anything which he listed as a goal above for SDAC :P

If his 1-2 and 2-3 shifts looked like his 3-4 and he had traction then that would lop...

I would go with a simple 255 walbro and then if you want more fuel add the inline pump (044) later.

I need to remember to keep my water wetter % up so that I can prevent corrosion. I have had block rusting problems on my Spirit in the past with a slightly leaky headgasket. That was with a small %...

100% water with no additives means a standard boiling point plus the radiator cap pressure. No radiator fan and driving around in a parking lot on a hot day will lead to uncontrolled temperatures....

Reaper1, not sure if your comment about # of straps makes sense.

Ed, a tight fitting disc is a good thing and something I have read people being happy about regarding clutchnet discs. Not fitting...

I would assume stock for an 87 shadow still means a larger radiator then a TII setup from the 4 cylinders. Even a large later model radiator will heat up if you are sitting in traffic, That is only...
