Ecotec Swap Finally Boosted :D
Sunday, April 17, 2005 9:38 PM
I just thought you people would like to know that im boosted and running .5 bar for now till i get the standalone tuned . Im Running RC 550cc Injectors at 20 psi (25psi wot) being controlled by my old 2.4 Casper ADJ FPR and im still pig rich car doesnt even run well unless im under boost. and with my Header style manifold boost is there as soon as i step on it, i dont know why i didnt get one sooner!

The Car moves way faster than it did with my 2.4 did at 1 bar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im excited as hell, and cant wait till i boost my 2 bar goal , next weekend it street tuning weekend lol just me the car my buddy dennis and my wideband.

Expect Lots of videos, and ill be going to the Meet in orlando so i can race some of you at the track, like suncavi .

You ran 14.7 psi on the 2.4L, and the Eco feels stronger at 7.5 psi, come on man. lol
Can I tell you what it is? You haven't been driving it and then you forgot how the LD9 felt, I did the same thing,lol you will see I am not down talking any of the motors, but my LD9 pulled a hair better then the Eco.
I like Eco better tho.

And you are going to run 29 psi on the Eco, is it built. lol

AND WE WILL RUN!!!




Best time:"""11.946""" @ 114.73 mph @17psi 1.83--60"

Well, your 2.4 was high compression mine was old abused and had bad injector seals causing boost leaks (i found out after i messed it up).

and my goal ^^ was a typo, lol it was 1 bar, not two, i wish it was built haha

and yes the eco does feel stronger at 7 psi than the 2.4 did at 15psi, i didnt actually notice a big difference from 7psi to 15psi on the 2.4, but from 15psi to 21psi on the 2.4 was a nice gain.

God damn I never thought of that, you can have injectors seals )orings) @!#$ up and leak boost. How did you know??
Fuel everywhere, I did have a little leak too, and I saw like wet around the injector, but I fixed it, I never knew why it did it.
But the boost is pushing up on it and forcing the air and fuel out.
LMAO
How many psi are you planing on running now, or should I say for the track in Orlando, you are not breaking anything in are you? Didn't think so. lol

well i didnt have fuel everywhere, just everything around my Injectors was getting an orange color to it, i didnt know it was fuel, just thought it was getting dirty and i dont know why it looked orange. I Found out when i was replacing the headgasket i took off the injectors.

Anyways i plan on running 15 psi for orlando and i got new tires today, so im almost set i just gotta hook up the wideband and disconnect the injectors from the stock computer and start tuning away. (this weekends Project)... I Just gotta finish the exhuast to i can put the wideband on it.


As for breaking anything in, i think i was supposed to break in the clutch/flywheel, ive heard mixed answers, ive never really broken in my clutches and they have worked fine race after race. The motor had 12,000 miles on it so no break in there, the turbo was my old one (i dont know if you have to break that in either, again heard mixed stuff), Tranny has 17,000 miles on it.

Clutch and flywheel and that is about it, from your set up.
1st thing I did when I put the Turbo on was rev the piss out of the motor to break up that old oil in the Turbo and get that crap to free spin on the idle. lol
It is doing fine now.

Din't you even learn anything??
You are not supposse to reveal how many PSI you are going to be running. Ok !!!
JK, Man 15 psi sounds good just be careful, that is all I can tell you.
You probably have a determined goal so won't even listen anyways, but keep an eye on the EGT's.
Good luck with getting it to run right. I don't want NO EXCUSES at the track in Orlando. lol

Hey BTW, noone seems to give a @!#$ about you and your Turbo, that is pretty much the same thing I got for mine, But another Turbo owner.
Oh, well watch their jaws drop at the track and be all over you.
You have a spare set of tires/rims that you are bringing up there?
Let me use them I have no god damn traction. lol
