TORSPD: NEVR

So he learned. A little over 2 hours for the driver side. Less than for the passenger. This was with OEM '09 headers.

The auto transmission lines made for a puzzle to get the passenger mount out. Still much easier.

 

Nothing fancy to share, but I did manage to upgrade the bushings in the shifter, for my Bimmer, with the fine help of @Lucario Runner .

Work schedule won't allow it today, but tomorrow is test drive for the Taco.

 

Ive done it twice, one truck with headers one without. Same thing, like almost 2 hours to do the driver side, but I swear I had the pass side swapped out in 30 mins. There is just very little room to turn a wrench next to that harness!

 

This would have been my third time. Didn't want to take that opportunity away from him.

He also reported that the vibrations were much better once the ECU relearned itself.

 

Had to enlarge the id of this to get an oem pin in.

 

That bastard.

 

Now I want some coffee.

 

@Hawk373 , that engine and transmission combo is possibly for sale. In the last picture that you like in my thread.

 

Out of pure curiosity I wonder what he’s asking. I’d like to do my own though. I’m also not into a manual for this truck.

I’ve been searching around for some clear photos of how he made everything fit. Found an old Haltech blog from ‘11 and some YouTube videos.

I see he used 1600cc injectors; guessing that extra volume is for the e85 tune?

Think Haltech or PSI Racing keeps tune files like that around for posterity (or Chris for that matter)? I’m becoming more married to this idea as I keep digging deeper and have some intake ideas that will make it a fun build.

With all that said I still have some lingering hope for the Whipple. The only unattractive aspect of the turbo project is how long the truck will be down for all the fabrication.

 

Asking Chris on YouTube or social media may be the best way to find out about that file. Haltech Elites are EXTREMELY user friendly though. I could have you setup and started in no time.

Rumor has it $10k for engine and transmission. Both are built. Without reading the link, 1600 would definitely be needed for those fuel requirements.

I may be be doing a twin setup for mine come next year. Not sure if I'll do top mount or bottom mount. Might be a single kit up for sale, if Lucario Runner doesn't want it.

 

Need update on test drive.

 

Under impressive. Lol. Got a check engine light. Limped it back to the driveway. Had to recalibrate the throttle body and foot pedal. Then ran out of time. Doh!

The VVTi map needs adjusting.

 

Chop... chop

 

Need results not excuses...

 

Spent a few hours going over the map today.

 

And???

 

Then got a phone call and had to help a friend troubleshoot a problem. Lol.

 

The changes seem to have helped out in the low end quite nicely. I still need to do some datalogs. It feels very quick overall though.

Boost is down to 13-14, for some reason. Maybe the boost controller was turned off? Not yet sure. Need tires with better grip though.
