Operation Re-Population!! my motor build

I also need one of these ( purge control solenoid valve ) anyone have one I could buy? I broke it :keke:
I'm having a hard time finding one.

 

I would not deem that irrepairable just yet. There may be enough material to tap a tiny hose fitting on there (think grease fitting with the ball removed), or perhaps epoxying it back together?
just an idea.

Thats a good idea. I think im going to try tomorrow.

 

It's about time...lol j/k. No more wheel barow...yay.

 

I broke mine too. It's $111 ($89) from SoG. Took Nathan 30 minutes to find it in his system.

 

You don't need the purge control widget, you can flash the code away in the computer.

Matt

 

Seriously? Cool
:ddirty:

 

Yep throw it away.

 

Flash the code?? like via a scan tool or do you have to have the ecu chipped?

Thanks Matt!

 

via your tuner... he can remove the code.

 

Thanks Doug!

 

Another goodie showed up today!!

 

I also have a very important question for the guys at batlground and top speed. Do I need to get a basic tune before I break my motor in and then do a dyno tune, or will it be safe to break in with the stage 2 map and then get a dyno tune? I will be coming to one of your shops for my pro tune, I'm really not sure which yet.

 

also.....what oil is best for break in? how often to change it during break in?

 

OOOOOOOooooooooooo :ddirty:

 

You need a break in tune.

 

Well everything is in, just waiting for a couple more parts. I expect to have it running by wednesday.

 

The rest of the parts finally showed up!!






SUBY_RUE lending a hand ssh:

 

O wow... I'm fugly...lol.

Glad I could help :wavey:

 

I started the car and it runs GREAT!! I'm getting the bov flange welded to the fmic piping so I had to borrow a top mount to turn it over. I'm also in the process of selling my UTEC so I can buy an AP. (thanks for the advise Scott and WJM!) Hopefully everything will work out quickly so I can get a break in tune from Scott very soon. I'm looking forward to meeting you all at the g2g next Sunday.

 

More pics of the build

 

Hell yeah, All you need now is a big fat salty snail swap :naughty:

 

:rofl: Yeah I know. I still have a stock turbo it sucks.

 

sweet build man, and im the guy that did the machining on that at Ball Engine, so its cool to see everythings goin together good.

 

Whats up Andrew, introduce youre self in the intro thread.

Matt

 

Awesome!! :bigthumb: you did a great job. Its nice to see you joined the family.

 

Quick update!!

Got a break-in tune from Scott, and the car is running GREAT!!! He is the man. I just have to put some miles on her b4 my next tune. I will keep everyone updated on my progress. I have about 750 miles on it now.

 

LOL, that is broken in. We broke my motor in for about 10 miles. lol

 

lol, I also have to same some $$$ for another tune. Christmas shopping has no mercy

 

awesome build and advice from fellow memebers. Come to the next g2g. What kinda numbers you expecting? Man i luv this community.

 

Thanks! It was a learning experience I'm planning on going to the meet on the 16th. Sorry I missed the last one.

 

As far as HP numbers IDK.. I still have the stock turbo so I probably wont get any more than +/- 300whp. I talked to Scott while he was doing my break-in tune and he said I can expect roughly 400whp on pump gas and 475+ on race gas with the FP red I'm planning on getting. I know the motor is capable of more but I'm not after the huge numbers, I want real useable power. Preferrably in the mid rpm range.

I'm loving the new sound of the motor BTW! It's an octave deeper and sounds really mean. :keke:

 

Quick update!!!

Months later.......still on the SS break-in tune. Motor has over 10k miles on it now and running great. I bought a house about 2 months ago and you know how that goes. Just havent had the dough to get the tune. House > Car. I will definitely post some #s when i get them.... talk about a break-in lol
