He lives in Waukegan near me. We're both an hour drive from the Chi.
Hey Ryan, I was able to get Friday and Saturday off. I'll be at the track. HOPEFULLY I'll have the turbo swap done by then
The engine runs rich (safety measure) from stock, so tuning the a/f ratio can pull a little bit of power. However, as gab said above me, it's not needed. You really do not need it on the stock AFM and injectors as the stock computer is mapped for them. It's only when you upgrade fuel and/or...
I think what Ian was getting at is the engine is a ticking time bomb with the stock head gasket and head bolts at a higher power level.
The OP never stated what he has done to the engine to be able to handle a higher amount of power.
Yeah. Stock headgasket with stock headbolts (even torqued to factory spec 72 lb/ft) is a ticking time bomb with a larger turbo on higher boost (larger turbo flows higher amount of air than smaller turbo at same psi). Walbro, 550's, lex afm, safc, 57 trim ct26 are all good for the amount of power...
Sounds like both of our builds are going pretty well. I'm picking up an 89+ 7mgte on Sunday, with auto trans (not gonna use it) and harness... only problem is the gray plugs and my yellow plug car. Hahaha.
