The Build Starts Today
Munch. Eat your heart out. I am leaving work today at 930 to start tearing the car down. I need to Thread lock the cam bolts and Pin the crank. My Procharger is going on this weekend. I will get everything prepped today and go by the barn and get my bracket and headunit tomorrow. Should be done Saturday afternoon. I will get a bunch of pictures to post during the build.
:dance: |
Very cool and about time! :cheers:
Are you doing any of the work at the barn? If so I'll come up and make sure everything goes smootly. |
I am doing it at Caseys. Its almost done. I need to re connect the radiator and run the boost a pump wires and it will be done. I fired it off yesterday. I will call Virginia speed today to schedule the tune.
|
and where are all these pics we're supposed to be seeing... :beatup:

So the car is back together minus the hood. Had to replace one of the plastic pullies with a steel one. Goes to Virginia speed tomorrow and on the dyno friday. Numbers and pics to come this weekend.
|
The car has made it home. The dyno numbers are in. I was hoping for 530. I was alittle off. It made 550 hp and 471 tq on 6lbs of boost. I am very happy. I will post the video and dyno sheet along with the pictures of putting everything together as soon as I can get a darn day off work.
Oh on a side note. Traction control plus WOT on a 550 hp car equals reduced engine power and traction control codes for every wheel and sensor. Bad. LOL. I am going to have to remember that. |
You should not be getting Reduced Engine Power (at any hp level), and I'm also not understanding what TC has to do with it? :confused5:
Tuning a boosted car to not trigger REP mode can be tricky, but Ed knows the tricks. I would definitely talk to him about that. Congrats on finishing the project though, sure it feels like a whole new animal now. :D :cheers: |
It was kicking p0105 and something else. If the TC system is off its fine. If its on and trys to cut the throttle that is when the codes pop. I need to feel the back of the intake and check on the MAP sensor to make sure it is tight.
|
That's even more interesting, as P0105 isn't a valid code for a C5.
P0106? |
I will check again in alittle bit but I am pretty sure it is 105. Its got a 2.5 bar map sensor also.
|
Nice numbers, that should keep ya out of trouble. :thumbs:
|
You know me better then that.
|
:hurray: So how does she sound now?
|
I can not tell from up front. But from what I hear it sounds good.
|
Congarts! I know you been waiting a long time to get her done.https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/i...ons/icon14.gif

|
