Sweet setup man

 

looks like it was creeping a bit up top then settling out. nice numbers.

did ur tuner try to add more fuel in the higher rpms? if he did and there was no change in the a/f, then ur fuel pump or regulator needs to be checked/replaced

 

Interesting setup. I made similar power but with a smaller turbo and 13 PSI. I made 236 and 189 with a 50trim /48ar T3. Your torque curve is a lot flatter than mine, plus mine has a weird dip around 4K.

 

Wow great simple clean setup Nice fab work and hp numbers too

 

I'm not sure what u guys mean by creeping but it was holding 10psi dead on. boost cut was at 10.5 and i never hit it. Goin to put a new head gasket on tomorrow even though i have been driving it without it pushing any coolant out. And i have a new clutch on the way because the stocker started slipping after 2 days. Can't wait to drive it at its full potential.

 

If your tuner is running more than 10 or 11 degres timing, It will blow again.

Single cam's dont like a whole lot of timing.

 

It was at 11 degrees. maybe i will have him back it off to 10. Im going to lower the boost to 8 psi untill i can build up another shortblock wiht h beams and vitarias

 

Back it off to 10 degres and you should be fine. IMO, I would go with a nice set of JE pistons. Just my 2 cent's.

 

Yea i know what u mean. I will have to see what i can afford when the time comes

Learn from your mistakes the first time bro! Dont make um twice. Good luck on your build. BTW. I made 324hp on the same turbo you have with the right internals.

 

Installed the new head gasket today. Copper spray'd it and tweaked out torquing the headstuds perfectly. Let it heat cycle a couple of times and re checked the torque. It all payed off. I've been beating the crap out of it and no signs of leakage...............yet. The old gasket wasn't blown at all. I think it was just lifting the head due to cheating by just installing one stud at a time without replacing the gasket, won't do that again .

 

glad to hear away with it. let us know how she does on the roads

 

from the a/f graph looks like it leans out a little bit towards 6-7k

a little too much for my taste.
