Turbo BS Thread

Lol. I add that as well.

 

What do you guys think about these for exhaust studs?

 

I like the oem ones the best.

 

This, or Inconel.

 

What’s going on with the rpm here?
4th up a hill and foot firmly pressing accelerator, the rpm shows a drop but still accelerating.

​

 

Also, am I running too rich?

 

Is that a slipping clutch?

 

Skipping clutch would be the opposite. Rpm increase with no acceleration

 

Too rich or your spark plug gaps are too big.

Could not see your AFR's, how low does it go?

 

Top left digits on gauge in video are AFR, lowest I see in this video is 12.1 @ 9.1psi

 

Could of been a clutch slip and started grabbing again while the rpm drop. My clutch slipped a bit when it was new. Had to do a nice hard pull to burn it in.

 

Clutch slip it seems. Or you were roasting the tires for a sec.. teehee

 

This was my thought on the rpm dropping while still accelerating.

 

When I put my LCE clutch in I rolled on the throttle after the break in, and it did that the first good hard pull. I was like MF all that work down the drain. Been just fine since that issue.

 

Like good hard stops when bedding new break pads, or holding high RPM when bedding in rings. Same concept

 

Did you break-in the clutch yet?

For ~9psi, your AFR's should still be lower. In the 11's.

Setup the datalog table. At the bottom of the screen. Clear out the out data. Do a new pull. See if anything with the fueling is causing the rpm drop. I bring that up because mine has a dip in rpm, which is fuel system related. Still need to figure that one out.

Yours (since you described you foot being floored the whole time) currently looks like partial clutch slippage to me as well. As the rpm raised quickly, comparatively to speed change.

I'll second @MadTaco461 . Break-in then give it the juice!

 

This.

I drove mine easy the first 500, like they suggest. Then I drove it like I stole it for a day, much better clutch grabs after that!

 

Thats not too low. Its not the clutch slipping, a slipping clutch would be high RPM's and no ass.

I bet you a case of beer you need to gap your plugs smaller.

 

So I think I got the vacuum lines figured out but what's did you guys do with the pcv? I see some people use a breather for the crankcase but did you do anything on the intake manifold side to prevent boost going where it shouldnt?

 

I went from the stock 1.1mm gap to .8mm gap plugs, if I need to go to the .7mm gap plugs I will but not convinced of anything yet. I almost think I have something going on with the VVT-I. I need to have a tune shop give it a look over.
