running b18c1 drag3 on an aem

Problems i had while i was there
1) my axel passenger shaft was only half in so on the first pull i dumped my tranny fluid

2) my fans were not working so i had to rig them to the battery

3) i used to run turbo on stock ecu so i had missing link so aem wasnt aware of boost.

these problems werent that bad but once we got to the tuning we realized my turbo wasn't building boost right. i went with the intention of running 13-14 lbs make about 330hp. but the boost was being controlled by wastegate spring and i was building a very slow 8 lbs peak at peak rpm( so in other words i was getting a very gradual increase in boost.

on top of that im running a 255 pump with aem rail and fpr to dsm injectors
not enough fuel at all i had them peek at 120% duty cycle not to great huh!

and my map sensor was limiting me as well.

but otherwise the car was tuned to very drivable up to 6k so it wasnt a completely horrible day

to anyone whos actually read this far i provide you with my shitty numbers. 218 to the wheels at 8lbs

Well, Get that **** fixed and show us some better numbers.

first tuning session is always the worst, for me at least. hopefully you'll get everything worked out soon.

yeh, that setup should definetely put down more than that.

whats the deal with your wastegate? whys it building boost so slow?

Rod.

dang, those are some low numbers for a gsr turbo

the past 2 months i had my car tuned twice.... first time was a straight disappointment. had a lot of problems like you too and i fix those then went back and it was still on the disappointed side.... made 260whp @ 10psi with a LS Vtec with endyn piston and eagle rods with a turbonetics t3/t4 .57 trim ar63. I still have a problem with the turbo manifold and i gotta save up $ for a new manifold and go back again. 3rd times a charm????

Tad

you guys should be more explicite about the problems you ran into/are running into.

So other people can avoid having those same problems in the future.

just a thought.

more explicit, ok

dont use missing link with a stand alone, dontdont ever buy a turbonetics wastegate or manifold. and aside from that the mistakes i had were stupid ones like not having the driveshaft completely in.

as for the slow boost i dont really understand why this is happening i have an avcr and i have the aem both capable of controlling boost but im gonna get a cheep manual one for the time beeing

sorry to hear about your crappy numbers. I made 317whp on 9psi LS/VTEC. Thankyou Innovative t3/t60-1 GT35killer!
