I'm surprised that you've got yellow top injectors in there (never mind I see they're 440cc I thought they were 550). I know it was running 11.3 AFR in boost, but I wouldn't think running that rich would cause them to run out of steam as early as they did. The logs showed 80-something percent duty cycle at only 6000rpm.

If you've got a wally 255 though you should be able to get enough extra fuel pressure to deal with it once you get that FPR installed.

No worries dude. Until now. GET THAT **** UP!!!

I think the yellows are 420cc. But, i'm sure with some more pressure that they could easily handle, they'll support anything the 2554 will throw at it, especially since it's a bit rich at the moment anyways.

I figure i gotta replace those hoses anyways, and since M-Tuned rail, should be cake to ram some AN lines everywhere.

I wholeheartedly approve of this thread. You will do this car many more justices than I did as its owner.

Now I just need to start my own for the MSM. Blouch MSM ALLOFIT build.

Blouch ALLOFIT vs. 2554r ALLOFIT to see who achieves the least glory?


I think i need to take the manifold and turbo off and have the mating surface machined. It's leaking there. Sadface. I'M MISSING OUT ON SPOOL

For most glorys I must find a dynojet. The dyno I use is a super low calibrated Mustang which gives me no glorys.

Also, don't be dumb.

I think maybe i should actually just bring the threads for the other cars over here as well. You guys are smarter than most of the other forums i post on, and i like active feedback instead of "WOW BRO DATS LIKE SO KEWL!" or "GEE YOU MUST BE RICH, I SCRAPE MONEY TO PAY FOR OIL CHANGES" or whatever the hell people post on the threads elsewhere.


Will you all be offended if i move the MX6 over here?

Personally, I'd love if you brought your builds over here. I love laughing at your ancient electronic doohickies and epic KLZE fails

Seriously though, DO IT.

Do it.

I am thinking about bringing the Volvo over here too. Many angries will be had if peoples see my old shitty tractor engine with ALL ebay parts putting down ~300 rwhp with 26 psi on a stock bottom end and no fuel management.

No seriously, it's got a pre-turbo exhaust leak. Figure fix that, get VICS up and running, enjoy an extra 500rpms of turbo boosting?

I doubt it will be that much. I'm in for dyno sheets before/after though.

Did you really have someone else hook up their computer to the MS to log?

Yes. I haven't really had a bunch of time to get set up and familiar with the software yet.

I didn't want to be driving around, trying to force this bitch into 1st gear at every stop light, and trying to figure out where the hell everything is in the software all at the same time.

Needs a little work, i'll work on it this weekend. We got the idle to not be so crazy rich, but now it's a little lean for my comfort level cruising at fast highway speeds sometimes. I think we may have miscalculated the cells this thing hangs out in a little bit.

Yeah, yeah. We weren't concerned with cruising AFRs at the time because they were perfect.

And i've read on here that you shouldn't bother attempting to autotune idle.

Fire's thread turned into a Subaru thread for nearly 6 months, so why not?

Site name should change to "Bunch of A-Holes That Think They Know Cars and Sometimes Make Lucky Guesses.net."

I didn't adjust anything near where you would be cruising on the highway. How lean are we talking? I'm usually in the mid 15s at 70mph and haven't had any issues.

I guess we'll know for sure once I get those logs posted up, hopefully I'll have time to do that tonight.

Eh i guess mid high 15s is where it was around 65-70ish. Any higher and the turbo starts doing its thing and it richens back up a bit.

I think i'm just used to the MX6, since that's really the last car i was driving that gave me a wideband to stare at.

It's getting good gas mileage, though. 25mpg the first tank, i and i kinda beat on it a lot getting a feel for it.
