Just figured I'd update this, with the fact that there is nothing to update :) Since the dyno appointment, the car has been driven nearly 5 days/week, and has made several 500 mile round trips to Fargo and back. Not too many issues, so haven't touched a thing for the most part. The only issue...

I agree on passing on it. I bought mine for $3k and it had less miles, was running without any issues, and had mods. Just seems like too much risk for a small gain.

Thanks. Ever since I ran one on my Talon about 4 years ago, I've been a BW junky since. To each their own, but I love em. Also I wouldn't say that the smoothness is all in the turbo. The WG has a lighter spring, which I'm guessing has a lot to do with the gradual boost curve, which in the...

It's the Borg Warner man. The Borg assimilates all, resistance is futile

Alright so here's a rundown of the dyno. To start from the beginning, I dyno'd a week ago. Got all the cruising type tuning done, car is running and starting great. But couldn't do any WOT tuning because of what turned out to be a bad coil. With the coil replaced, I returned to the dyno...

Hit the dyno today, went much better this time around. Dyno video with results will be posted in the next day or so :P Here's some teaser pics:

Car is still running like a champ. So I'm not going to touch a thing until dyno day. So for the time being, started planning some misc stuff. Since I'll be making my own Intake Mani, I was thinking about what to do for vacuum ports on it. So made this crude drawing showing the simplest and...

Yeah thanks man. I call yesterdays session a "Successful Failure" because although I failed to make a full clean pass and get a full complete tune, it helped me successfully diagnose a couple issues, so it was still a successful session in that aspect. I already feel much more confident about...

Did some more troubleshooting. Problem was definitely my old coil. Luckily my spare junkyard coil appears to be good. Boosting at 10-12psi on the junkyard spare, and no signs of misfires Dyno appt has been setup for next Tuesday, should be more successful this time around. Spare Junkyard coil...

Well big thanks to Shane for letting me borrow parts from his car. I did some troubleshooting tonight and looks like I've narrowed down my mis-fire issues to my old degraded coil. With his coil, the car hasn't mis-fired yet. I do have a spare coil laying around I believe. I will try that...

Got the IS300 ignition setup in the mail. Was planning on installing it this winter but ignition issues are making me reconsider. Also bought some raw materials that I will be using to make my own FFIM. Spending over $800 on an aftermarket plenum, yeah right :uh: Lastly, hopped on the...

I will too because if it makes that much power, my tranny will be in a million pieces lol. This is going to be a low boost tune, running straight wastegate spring pressure (pretty sure it's a 1bar spring). So I'm aiming to be closer to around 400hp for now. I must resist temptation to turn it...

Just bought all the parts required for the IS300 ignition setup (IS300 coils & wires, DS62 igniter). This will have to be done post dyno tune, but still it'll be exciting to ditch that big ugly distributor.

Thanks for the pointers. I ended up ordering one of these today: http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/gm-open-element-iat-sensor-with-pigtail-p-62.html Tune appointment setup for Monday of next week with Shane :) Can't wait. For some reason I fully expect to find some issues while on the...

If I go to napa they are gonna ask for some kind of year and model of car. What year and model did these come on? I'm guessing if I just walk in and ask for a Gm IAT the dude is going to give me the blank stare of death.

Sweet. Any pointers on where to pick one up at?

Well made a discovery last night. Realised that I have no IAT sensor anymore since I ditched the stock MAS. Because of that, my IAT signal in MS was sometimes at -40*, and sometimes at 170*, and sometimes some blip in between there. That caused some random bouncing around in my AFR's. So I...

Drove it to work, and drove it around town after work today to let Auto-tune do it's thing. Car was running pretty well I'd say. So at around 9PM-ish I made a decision :D I was down to damn near E on the fuel gauge. She took 15 gallons of the good stuff, and immediately noticed a different...

Well I got kinda motivated in the last few hours of the night, so one more update :) I decided for now, to install a single Walbro 255hp as that really should be all I need for right now since I plan on running fairly low boost for awhile. And it was quick and easy and gets me back on the...
