VolcomTacoma's Mod Day and B.S. Thread

Interesting. I have never seen that before.

 

Yea You can have it, as I said, my AEM gauge came with a bung to weld in but my URD Y pipe came with a prewelded extra bung for an AFR gauge, so no need .

 

I'm not as cool as you so I can't have nice things like you. Awesome man. Thank you! I have to swing by Jerry's on Thursday or Friday, will you be around so I could go and get it?

 

I was leaning towards that until I found out the Y pipe had a bung already. I really didn't want to just put a bung on one side...from what I've read, pulling off the Y pipe can only degrade the AFR by about .2-.4 so I'm not super worried about that right now. maybe someday when I'm trying to tune the shit out of it for every extra HP i'll think about a new bung location or something.

Right now, watching my #'s my AFR seems to be doing pretty good, levels out around 11.5 or so, down to 10.5ish at initial full stomp

 

Crap, if you come by anytime before 5 on Thursday I'll be at the house, but we're leaving Thursday, as soon as the wife can leave, around 5 to head to So-Cal for the weekend.

 

I should be there well before that time in that case. I have to go by Travis AFB to do some medical bullshit then just head back this way once I'm done. I'll stop by your place then head to Jerry's get my skid and possibly get my battery box finalized with extra brqcing for it and then the muffler shop down the street from his to get my exhaust pipe rerouted and reattached.

As far as welding the bung to the Y pipe, fuck it. We aren't going for all out tuner status at the moment. Like you said. One day if we want to take it that far. I just want to ensure I am running at optimal levels while at WOT is all.

 

Yea, if you really wanna go there, You should weld a bung to each one of the headers right where they combine, to get an optimal reading straight from the engine...F that noise...I'll deal with off by a hair. Someday When I want to try for even more HP and all that I'll move it lol.

Yea, just shoot me a text, I basically just sit in the garage these days and try to keep the kid asleep lol. Nothing much else to do to the truck for now.

 

Yeah that's a lot of D just for a better reading. And yeah, I know all about the PH you like. It's cool man. I'm an inaugural member of the club myself! For now is the keyword here. Lol. Well yeah I'll do that on Thrusday then, sounds like a plan and thank you much!

 

Haha yea, looks like I'm juuuuust barely hitting 6 PSI at full pedal. mostly hovering around 5-5.5 at full blast, but I saw it dip in to 6 at one point..must have hit a cold patch of air or something lol. So tempted to throw that pulley on lol. But no, I want to make this trip and make sure everything is good and broken in now, and then I can do pulley and headers when I get back for some more HP

 

Yea no problem bro...I would probably just throw it away anyways, would rather give it to someone that's gonna use it

 

You are actually hitting about 5.4 according to my digital guage. Its faster so I know for a fact that's around the max they go. Unless for some reason you got something slightly different about yours. Then again that intake may be helping you.

 

I'm sure intake is helping lol. I know I've seen it pop up to 6 lol. but like I said, a good burst of cold air could have slammed it in there. but for the most part yea, right around 5.5 is where It goes at full blast. I must say, I'm pretty damn happy with the power now...I'm looking forward to headers and more boost lol...shit...I've got the itch...I'm gonan start wanting to bore out the cylinders and all that. @Torspd HELP ME PLEASE!!

 

It's crazy how the weather either kills the SC or makes it strong as an ox. Yeah, I'm not interested in all that. That's a bit overkill for what I like to do. I care more about wheeling than going fast like a racecar.

 

I wanna do both

 

I do too, but I think just the supercharger alone is enough. I took it out one day and thrashed it around my stomping ground and i was able to take me everywhere much faster without bogging around like without it, so just in doing that alone I'm very happy the bog factor is gone.

 

Yea. Thats why im gon a be 35s and 4.56 gears with LT...supposedly thats perfect for the 6 speed to return close to stock power. Then i can mash it and still hit the fun stuff and not worry about breaking the truck. Seeing as how I'm on the road 100% right now, performance is key right now. Id say this time next year ill be mashing through pisbro

 

Well. Then we'll have to make a trip out there next year so you can take me for a ride in that thing. Why the hell would you want to return to stock power though?!

 

I meant stock speed/power wise lol. IE Same power I'd get with stock wheels and gears. I still want to be able to get a little fast on the high way when those little civics let Vtec kick in and need to be put back in their place

 

I guess dude. You cray cray is all I know.
