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.

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?
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. |

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? |
