but yeah you got the idea

 

I sent you a log but it was from the internal logger and was all eff'd up.

Rob told me how to hook up the UEGO to the FIC and PC log so I have tons of those now. None, with the original poop tune though.

Update 6/15/2009

I took care of my last remaining exhaust leak this morning.

Took the car out to a secluded spot and took off the exhaust manifold, I cleaned the gasket with some soapy water and cleaned the mani with soapy water. I sealed the gasket up with RTV on both sides, put the manifold back on and tightened the bolts.

Cure time for the RTV was 1 hour but i'm sure that passed by the time I got the downpipe bolted back up, removed the reminisce of my VRD fog lights, put the IC piping back on the turbocharger, etc.

Fired it up and the AFR's looked like they should. I placed my hand over the top of the exhaust mani and felt no air

I took it out for one quick run, cruise and idle AFR between 14 and 15, boost between 11 and 12.

Came back to the apartment to the smell of burning oil, looked under the car and saw no oil, looked under the hood and saw my turbo oil feed line which was already garbage from the previous user not really sealed. Got out my wrench and realized it wasn't getting any tighter, inspected it and saw I needed another since if I swapped ends the other end connected fine and tightened down.

Ordered one from Dezod this morning and it'll be here tomorrow so I can make it to class

So I don't have a turbo oil feed line so i'll be eating whatever can be delivered for dinner. Oh and the RTV had all day to sit, cure and make that leak proof gasket that we all know and love.

 

so how does it feel to be boosted bro? i can't wait should have my kit installed in a month

 

I wish I could tell ya, I haven't had the opportunity to enjoy or really experience it yet.

 

let me kno how the blow thru works out for you, i was thinking about doin that myself but never heard anyone really talk about it

 

Blow through is great if you want to vent to atmosphere. It's not drastically different than the regular MAF setup.

 

I really don't know how it works or anything like that. People say its better but I don't have anything to compare it to.

 

heh alright and thanks b real, i was thinking about doing this

 

Sounds like the same thing the Ultimate has when you plug in the A/F ratio harness to hook up to a Wideband for the A/F Target map.

 

Glad to see people are catching on to this. I first saw it on PTuning's TA car and World Racing's TA car. Then I did it to mine, and reported that people shouldn't waste money on some "magical" gasket, and just use RTV around the exhaust ports.

 

I think I have an exhaust leak between down-pipe and s-pipe (go figure, TT fitment is off). Think it'll work? I don't even know if that's the leak, but I'm pretty sure there is a leak somewhere. It HAS to be the reason for my car being so stinky.

 

You're exactly right, just outline the entire gasket. I used it on my used gasket but I have a new one here now that i'll pull back off and RTV again in a couple of weeks.

 

RTV has been used forever...

Carbon - if your leak is minor it should work.. if it's a major leak the RTV could hold for a short while.

 

plus you dont need an intake

open turbo FTW

 

Why FTW? Is the car a strict racecar? If so, great. If not, by by turbo in a few thousand miles.

 

How so?
