Re: p00t's long winded journal from the beginning of time

Some pictures from the work I did over the winter. There are a lot of pictures I didn't take of all the details done. I was fighting too much to make the stock tensioners work so I used spherical bearings, new elbow for the power steering connections... etc. I made new brackets for the alternator (m...

Re: Adjusted Idle, now runs like trash.

If you adjust throttle body screw your throttle sensor needs to be adjusted to 0.46-0.48v at closed throttle. Otherwise the ECU loses track of closed/open throttle and will not drive well.

Shiny the install looks real clean! The ECU will throw a code for ignition coil but it should not cause the light to be on. You are just seeing the code when you scan right? You are correct that it no longer sees the single coil go negative. For timing the ECU has to go into timing mode to lock in 2...

Re: Best ways to run oil/water lines

I've been sourcing coolant from the drain plug on the block and sending it back to the upper radiator hose. Using 1/2" heater hose and some heat sleeves near the turbo.

I'm interested in seeing some solid lines or AN/braided lines. It's a good topic to start!

Re: GT2876R 17.5PSI 375hp/356tq

Great numbers!

I'm guessing you are right about the exhaust side choking it off and not allowing you to use up all of the compressor available. You might only gain a few HP with boost increase but your torque peak should still climb.

Are you still rolling on stock wheels with that power?

It's just automatically mapped for LS and maxima coils so you just set it and go. You can run the K series coils with the fixed dwell setting since there is very little dwell change with voltage on those from what I see. You will be okay setting them to 3ms from what I see here: https://support.halt...

I had no idea about the resistor in parallel with the bulb. Interesting. But the alternator finds it's voltage on the sense line that is connected to the battery. The alternator should just be using the bulb for diagnostics. It is possible the resistor plays a part in whether the bulb accurately lig...

Re: Turbo cams, boost and maf values.

This is a really great comparison (both the actual change and the method by which you are comparing them).

Are these plots just driving around or one pull to redline? Why are there a few "high fliers" at low boost?

That is a pretty clean engine bay for a work truck with 200k+ on it!

I caught the stove piping on the intake... Project Stovepipe maybe? I would replace that with a real pipe at some point because that pipe is not airtight and you will get unfiltered stuff through to the turbo.

I've run more clearance on the stockers and BC stage 2's than .012" it shouldn't cause issues. You will likely lose a little of the specified duration and lift.

Re: Possible cause of metallic noise?

If the noise doesn't follow RPM it should be something not tied to the crank in some way. Which doesn't leave much. Could it just be a loose part on the engine? Exhaust? A bracket or something? The line on the tensioner looks like it's part of the manufacturing process. Chains typically leave a wear...
