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:

:iagree::slap:

They are still on the camera. As soon as I am done I will post everything up.
I am working on it. :leaving:

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

Thanks. I have been waiting a very long time.

Awww, I thought today would be pic and video day.

Had to work all weekend.
