Its easy if your nervous do a 1 - 1 swap only take one line at a time off.

Ordered new lines from Ptuning, hopefully everything will be here by this friday.

 

All right guys! My car is alive! Needs to be cleaned up and tomorrow going to get the flex pipe welded in.

few questions. Idle after driving is somewhat high and after start up on warm engine it will idle perfectly around 15, but after few minutes it goes to 16,7! Is that really bad?

I'm going to send an email to Vinny ten and hopefully he will adjust it since its his tune.

also I forgot to look at oil pressure when cold started, but warm idle fuel pressure is at 20. Is that the norm?

excuse my amateur questions, but I kind of forgot all correct parameters since I was not driving it and not even being in the same state as the car.

Correction: warm idle at FULL op temp is somewhere around 4-3 psi.

 

Had 2 flex-pipes welded in today hopefully should be enough to save the manifold from cracking.

 

What manifold are you using again Russ?

 

Dezod from ther S1/2 kit.


Also going to stop by the tuner next week to perfect the tune a little. Idle is pretty unreliable and it dies sometimes. Definitely needs some computer polishing...


so can ANYONE remind me on all normal oil pressure and AFR parameters ?

 

Hey guys another question.
My fans are wired in directly so they always on, i programmed my SPAL control box so they are not always running.

Weird thing i noticed is that as soon as i get on the highway my engine temps go down from normal and stay between 2 and 3rd mark or a little above it.
Since vinnys shop installed my fans and radiator im going to visit his shop so they can switch the wiring to normal.
Anyone knows whats going on? Im thinking my thermostat is stuck open.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

 

mines did the same thing in the cool temps with the racing thermostat. but only while moving

 

yup online while at highway speeds. I think i have mishimoto racing stat in there, i dont even remember lol

how did you fix it? (just replaced it with stock temp stat?)

i think i'm just going to replace with stock temp stat since racing the car or driving hard is not in my plans anymore. Just want to work out few little kinks and for sale it goes.

 

normal condition if your using mishimoto radiator, ever since i upgraded.. engine cooler. due to more coolant in your radiator and tstate opens up sooner ...

 

I'm running Koyo radiator with 2 spal high performance fans and a spal control box.

 

20 psi of oil pressure at full temperature is about right. Any lower and you have something going on like a worn out oil pump or clogged journal or spun bearing or something like that, can be something easy or something fatal. 20 psi is steady though, you're good. Just keep an eye on that when it's full temperature, and keep an eye on it when your cold temperature too, don't spike it above 100 psi and blow a seal. That gauge is your best friend.

 

yup just put the stock temp stat in
