Crank the waste-gate tighter.


Being a little rich is'nt killing the ability to make boost.

Would you explain to us how cranking it tighter will make more boost when wiring it closed will not?


He makes 19-20 psi with everything hooked up.


Wired shut it only made 15. It was'nt wired completely 100%.


Back up. Old downpipe,wastegate, set up made 24-25 psi.


Swapped out new stuff, boost goes down.


If there were exhaust leaks, they've been there all along.


He has stated that turning down the alky does nothing to the boost level or A/F ratio.


My suggestion is that the wastegate rod needs more tension because I think it is lifting off the hole with boost.


That or the puck just is'nt sealing well at all.

For that king of scratch, I'd buy a real car.


One that does everything better.

If it was drowning with too much alky, it would bog and not pull/make power. Your alky tank should be running out really fast if this is the case. How much does it use after a couple pulls?


Carbon tracks would'nt show up with just a few WOT runs. Takes a while.


Waste-gate actuators can be funny. I've had some that needed to be tighter than you would think to get them to work at the desired setting.


Years ago, the trick was borrow the wifes' lipstick and coat the puck with that. You should see a EVEN mark around the hole. Not off centre. Being careful not to smudge during re-installation of the downpipe.


Either it's not sealing properly or the waste-gate is weak where it's set and lifting slightly allowing boost to bleed off.

Plumb a different boost gauge into a vacuum line.


I wonder if your existing has a leak somewhere?

Looks like it had a lot of money thrown at it once upon a time (early 2000s) but now is just a hulk looking for a home and some serious help.  The engine is in pieces - but assuming it is complete? I'd go $8-9K - mostly because it isn't painted resale-black.


You're awful generous. That turd is worth $ 1500, maybe.

Used downpipe and wide band to maximize what you have.  :powersix:

According to the Gazette, Williams actually did attempt to apply for a permit to operate a repair shop in 2012,

Not sure how his career in construction could continue due to his physical limitations?


72
Applied for a permit because he obviously can't work in construction. Denied.

Does it anyway, just takes cash, no paper to prove anything.

You can't tell me that guy has sooooo many friends with dozens of shit-boxes needing constant repair. Please.


This kinda crap happens all the time. The municipality has to grow a pair. Residential zoning is for people to live peacefully not put a building up and run a sneaky commercial business.

I'll bet the disruption is worse than you think.

Just cause it has to do with cars doesn't make it ok.

Snowmobiling in Northern Ontario gives hrs of of fun riding like a retard on crack. The cornering and acceleration compares to nothing.

Takes me a week to recover cause I'm old and we ride 150-200 miles a day.
