Sleipnir's FURD BURD Bigfoot thread: Oh chit we have proof of life!

Holy dead thread Batman

On a plane to NJ to pickup the truck and drive it home

 

Good Morning Tyler that’s great

 

Morning Maner. Been a minute. How are things going?

 

Just landed and on my way to the shop

 

I hope good things have been done.

 

Oh yassss!!! Bout dang time

 

So recap of first day.

Landed, got the truck and drive from Newark to Knoxville last night. Truck did good apart from a couple things and should make it back in one piece

 

If I can help with anything, once you're back, I'm happy to.

 

So here's the status thus far.


Truck is driving good. It's pushing 1 psi and the motor is doing all the work. Sounds way better.

At a stop, smell of exhaust is terrible.

It's gotta a little smoke while idling but I think there's too much oil in it because at first start its fine.

Headlight control box was disconnected so we had to pull over and figure that out. It's going to need to be replaced because high beams dont work.

Driver's side tail light bulb is out

TPMS light on

Bumper wasnt painted when it was damaged in transport


Overall, its gotta few things wrong but I'm happy. If I can get it tuned then I think I'll be even more happy but I'm thankful this is all over

 

Boy I tell you hwat. It's been ready for 3 months but Ive been letting it sit

 

Thanks man I appreciate it

 

I’m genuinely happy for ya other than the minor issues I know you’re relieved.

 

Yea man you have no idea. Now to pay it off and get something else

 

Don’t look to the new dodge, have had several people local buy one and then get rid of it. Lots of little issues

 

I'd still love to hear it in the extreme cold. Turbos just sing in that shit. On the flip side it's been so Cold lately I can hear the trains like there at the end of the block. Not a half mile or so away. I'm not talkin' whistle or horn or whatever you wanna call it. I'm talkin' just the runnin' gear, wheels 'n such..... and the damn Snowy Owl is keepin' me up If I finally get home to get some sleep. What do you figure next??? Eyein' that Turbo Buick 'round the way but i'll bet he still won't sell, we'll see.

 

Driving it back from my in-laws to home. Things I noticed


Motor is strong.

Only pushing 1 psi on any tune from when we were testing before (Thats a good thing because before the waste gates were giving us huge issues. Spiking over 25psi and completely uncontrollable.)

Still smoking at idle pretty good. Engine builder is going to send me an oil restrictor for the turbos to help with that.

Finally was able to open my catch cans after first shop over tightened the one. One can full other can about a 1/5

Gas cap needs the spring fixed so that'll be pretty quick.

Need to adjust filler neck as can't leave the pump on without it stopping.

Oil change for sure

Need a new headlight harness as the old one seems to prevent the high beams from coming on

Need to change horns because they seemed to be not very loud

 

Ordered a 1.6mm and a .7mm oil restrictor from the UK. It's literally the only company that makes one for the efr. I'll have to use a fitting to go from -6an female to -4an male but it should help a lot with the white smoke at idle
