Turbo BS Thread

I believe @Jstand Is saying he's having leaning issues OUTSIDE of boost, and even if he were in boost at closed loop he should maintain atleast 14.7 with the fpr boost referenced, and it appears this isn't happening meaning there's another issue not turbo related (it seems)

 

Maybe your truck suddenly developed a distaste for the front o2 location like mine did. Maybe there is some obstruction in there or something causing the o2 to read weird... like a wideband sensor

 

It was doing it before I put the Wide band sensor in. I just wonder if the catalytic converter is bad it’s original or tbs ?

 

The secondary O2 after the cat doesn't affect driveability, it just sets off a code. The leaded gas can destroy cats, and maybe it can harm o2 sensors? I'm not sure.

 

Leaded gas will damage O2 and wideband sensors. Unless they are designed specifically for it.

 

What should I do for an air filter setup I wheel my truck a lot and previously considered a snorkel but that would probably kill turbo performance any ideas???

 

@j0shu4

I seem to remember some guy using a ebay air filter canister on a rear mount 4runner turbo setup for offroading but i can't remember who it was...

 

That was clownmeat (or fin on YouTube). He’s the one who initially inspired me to turbo. That’s why I started with a rear mount setup

 

Thats right I remember now

 

I was thinking some sort of air debris separator

i feel a canister filter like this is a good bet for anything offroad, and they flow a good amount

Oooohhh I might look into one of these vs my open air filter

 

i personally like these because, in addition to being really good a filtration, they are splashproof with the rain cap they make, so you wont end up with a busted engine if you mob through a huge puddle. those open foam filters are disasters waiting to happen IMO

 

I wonder how you buy one...

 

that im not sure of. as they seem to mostly be an OEM thing, but theres has to be a place somewhere that sells them

Ump is pretty big out here with the desert racing. Only problem is they are pretty huge.

 

I've been having good results with the AEM fic 6. I was able to tune 650cc injectors on regular pump gas with only a few hiccups here and there. Running e85 it's pretty much flawless which I accredit to the fact the large injectors are actually spraying within the amount they were designed for, meaning if you sized your injectors more appropriately than I did you should be completely able to tune them with the fic 6. I don't know where this rumor that it couldn't tune larger injectors came from (gadget) but my truck idle's exactly where it should, CL is 13.5 from 1-5 psi, 12.5 from 5-8 psi, 11.5 from 8-10 and 11.2 from 10 up and it runs 11.1-11.3 while in CL.

 

How many of you alter your tunes on your own of do you pretty much only touch it when it’s on the dyno

 

Mines never been on a dyno, so I have only tuned on the road
