The Project Pad

I just need this thing to survive bbq. Then it gets parked and converted to vems. Not gonna reach. 425hp on cis

The other thing ive noticed is the vacuum fkuctuates at idles. The rpm also moves up and down by a margin Id have to say is 100rpm. This is consistent with a bad mixture. Oye

check your boot is on properly. these issues were always a leak of some kind between the fuel distributor and intake. I made mistakes here and there with install. Im not immune.

Heres whats funny. I did a massive long pull tonight. I hit 130-135 with relative ease before getting off of it. It was still pulling HARD. I couldve squeezed 140 out of it. Its like CIS hates starting but when its warmed up and running, its a bat outta hell

the pull wont be as massively long with a new upgraded turbo!!!

Yeah no kidding. This thing is going to scream. Im bringing the hotside by a ceramic coater tomorrow for a quote. Might as well do it all at once right?

did you already finish the polish?

No, didnt get around to it yet. I'll figure out some time to get at it. I can always do it after the ceramic coat anyways.

got mine good and started.

What did you use? Or did you just hand sand it?

6 inch long shank (flame) cutting burr. 60 grit tapered sanding cones, and 120 grit flapper drum. thats not done yet either. it will be a mirror if I have the time to do so. I got maad skills.

Well took hotside to the ceramic coater this morning. Wanted like $100 for the damn thing. Screw that Ill just polish it completely. Ex manifold was $115. Bleh.

suck it up and do it!!! it helps a ton

I think its a matter of time and money needed for BBQ. I will likely suck it up myself, but not right now.

Well the other thing I dont like is they dont polish theceramic after coating. From I have been told by a family member who owns a powdercoat shop, they are suppised to pokish the ceramic for durability. Well see

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freakin sweet man!

lol

I FOUND THE BITCH ASS VACUUM LEAK!!!!!!

stupid ass inlet boot to the turbo is torn in a place I couldnt see. Hurray for household foamy cleaners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and it still idles like crap. If it drops under 1000rpm it will die. Then its a bitch to restart it. I'm tired of this crap

EFI solves ALL problems

GL!

Turbo getting installed tomorrow!!!!!
