General Buick Tech / Car Is Possessed-Need Help

« on: October 08 2014, 04:48:34 PM »

The ongoing saga of Dan Kellers car. Steve knows about this car...and everything is brand new on it. The latest. Calls last nite and says it idles and drives fine...except when you lay into it...it bogs. Let your foot out of it...and it drives normally. SM numbers are normal. I had a similar experience twice with my car...both times it was the 02 sensor. He's out swapping it out now...waiting to hear back. Can drive it all day long and it's fine...get into boost...and it bogs. I'm getting close to tossing a Molotov cocktail in this thing. Open to ideas as to what's wrong.

If the SM numbers are correct...have a peek at the grounds on the back of the PS head.

I race pretty much every weekend from the first week of April till our Thanksgiving weekend...whic h is this coming weekend. I still get nervous/anxious/excited sitting in the staging lanes waiting to make my first run of the evening/day. Once they wave me in...it's all good. Lining up against the big tire Sportsman cars is what gets my pulse rate up. I'm happiest when I'm at the track...there's no other place I'd rather be. Sounds stupid...but it feels like home.

When I used LU convertors I had Eric lock it for me via his chip. Think he locked it in the mid 80's.

That puck is huge. Jason offered it after I bought my DP from him. It caught on the inside of the DP...so I trimmed some of the inside of the DP off with the die grinder so it would swing freely.

I'd keep my eye open for a used pair of 28x9 slicks...as they have the same dimensions as a 275/60/15 drag radial. They fit on a stock GN rim and clear the frame rail and fender lip...as can bee seen by this idiot launching.

I did a test one time. I removed the .63 Garret housing on a TA 49...and slapped on a Precision .83. With the same boost and tune I gained 3 mph. Leave Erics 3rd gear timing alone...and work on your low gear tuning. Put the boost to it and enuf 3rd gear fuel so it won't hurt itself.

Jason...this is what I would do. I'd bump the boost up to 25 PSI...and leave high gear fueling where it's at. The slightly higher boost pressure will lower your 02's for you. Log 2 shows 795 going through the traps...so your high gear fueling should be fine...if the temperature is the same. Pull some low gear fuel out of it...and have at it. I'm curious to see if your MPH increases...or you "blow through" that unlocked convertor.

Be sure to address that voltage issue first.
