way too much text to try to read for my ADHD ass..


1st and 2nd gear, your probably seeing alot of belt slip, and thats why your not getting your full boost...happens to me in 1st alot with the auto.

as for stalling, are you correctly recirculating your BOV? the stall after letting off sounds like symptoms of a atmospheric vent on a MAF car.

top of 3rd and 4th is when you'll have the most load on the motor, and thats probably when your injectors start coming out of the extremely rich state your in and lean out to a reasonable AF.

on my LT1, im running 42's and there is no damn way in hell i will go WOT again till i get it tuned...my AF is about 8.5:1 roughly, the wideband couldnt read any richer than 10:1. if you have no tuning, and are running that much injector, i would be VERY careful how you drive it...stock injectors are 19lbs correct? basically at idle, out of boost, your dumping more than twice the fuel you normally would. i suggest getting a tune ASAP, that much fuel could wash out the pistons.

 

The 42lb mass-air should be helping the idle quite a bit, but w/42s I agree, its a fine line, where hopefully a little FP adjustment will come into play. Im going to get a bung welded in next week so that I can run Sol_93GTs wideband - then well really see whats going on.

That's why we try to keep you in the GM products, Kenny.

 

yea, but vortech sucks at life...anyone who owns one needs allllll the help they can get

 

Haha, you're just jealous because you spent the same amount of money I did and you're car is gonna be 2 seconds slower than mine in the 1/4. I doubt your car will get into the 11's with the blower on the stock motor, I'll be running mid 10's. And not only has my car not been repainted, it's gonna suck that crappy paint job right off your car, so I guess I'm not the only one with a "fucked up car".

Oh, you want to play DIRTY, eh?

First, I didnt spend NEAR what you spent on your car.. even with that killer deal that some cool guy got for you

Need I remind you of your turbo install? - Heres you "installing"


My car has had a minor repair, hardly repainted.

 

Ahh, I'm just playing with ya. Don't get all deffensive now, it's all in good fun. I wasn't the one who said your car was all fucked up right? I just like telling you superchargers are gay because I know it irks you. I wouldn't mind having a blower for the driveability. I don't have a problem with the hack job I did to get my turbo kit in. And you're forgeting what I paid for it, same price as you did after all was said and done. I'm not playing dirty, if you want to call peoples cars fucked up then expect them to point out the flaws in your car too. I personally don't have a problem with my hack job, I cut the shit out of a 9k mile car, so what? Thats what I bought it for. I sure didn't buy it thinking I was gonna resell it and recoupe my money. I'll do what ever needs be to go fast, doesn't really matter. I just didn't want to start with a sloppy beater, it was either a low low mileage fox body or a new car. Now play nice or you can't use my air fuel meter.

P.S. I think you could have gotten the same price I did if you pressed them. And also think you could have done a better job of installing it with less "hacking" if more time was taken, more measure twice, cut once. I just don't have any patients.

 

Lol - I know. I didnt say YOUR car was all fucked up - it was just in reply to Tony telling me that all the turbo guys were going to mop the streets with me... that hurt!

I know I could have gotten the same price if I pressed, but this had so many extras with it, it was too tempting. I knew it wouldnt be as fast stock for stock, but I was willing to trade that for some other "creature comforts". There were other considerations other than the install that led me to choose the blower too. Now, if I could have found a new Incon kit, I would have been all over it. You need to get your ass over here today so you can get a ride.

You have to admit - those were some cool fucking pictures Heres another one that proves turbo kits will drive you CRAZY!!!

That ones good for a photo caption contest!

 

Yeah, that was the hardest thing I've ever done to a car. I feel like a moron when I hear people installing turbo kits in one day. There were a couple fitment issues we had to deal with though. If it had fit like a glove you probably would have gotten that kit too. I'm definately converting to draw through if the Univer doesn't work really good. I'm gonna be over that way later today, me and Holly might stop by if we have time.

Is that true? Is there lots of problems with Vortechs?
