Did you check the muffler bearings? Also, last time i was in your car; there was definitely a loose nut behind the steering wheel...

thanks to Dale's effort in getting me the swaybars etc i've now got them in but im going to have to spend some time tweaking it, although its nice and firm ive had to back the shock's down and now i think im goin to have bigger prolblems with bottoming out in dips etc.

ahwell thats the fun part i guess trying to find the settings to make it handle nice allround.

not much to update atm but i am getting my rims repaired after an altercation with a roundabout island which i lost LOL i swear it jumped out at me

and still waiting on my new bonnet and rear chassis brace.

still wondering if i should bother putting the F-con in yet.......... it would help because i am getting a fair bit of overfueling especially seeing at the BOV is venting to astmosphere and on gear change / lift of throttle i get some good backfires :)

Weird graph with the converter locking up on the original run and staying locked up after, did you cut any wires or is that a result of playing with settings?

How does she drive anyway? I'm sure you feel the torque drop off after 5k... Time for a highflow? :whistling:

still need to find out why im dropping off on boost, its ever since i changed all the vacuum hoses ahwell im happy any way might save the turbo a bit longer

Boost will always drop off a little due to the pressure in the manifold skyrocketing and blowing the puck open, the spring only helps so much. Do you have a controller?

the graphs are different at the bottom due to different throttle application.

we disconnected the manual boost T and are running it straight from the BOV to the Wastegate.

its a bit hard to describe but u can feel the extra power but overall the car is alot tamer than before, its very strong down low and very driveable on the freeway.

the car just sounds healthier has a nice crisp note to it now and damn does that suction pipe make some noise!!!

the cars just so different to drive i'll have to see how it goes over the next few weeks (mainly only use it on the weekend)

anyways just finished mounting the computer in the dash so gonna go out and drive it!!!!!!

Nice Theo.

Glad you find it nice and smooth to drive. You'll have some fun at the drags I think. A programmable boost controller will take care of that drop off. Does the ECU have that function?

Are you still running off the AFM sensor? What Volts did you get up to?

Did you get a chance to over lay with my 3rd gear pull?

      Removing sump

      By elohim_imanu · Posted

      I did manage to do this without removing the engine or front cross member, but I had the advantage that the exhaust manifold was removed. I am not setup to support the engine from the top or remove it. 1. Loosen the engine mount nuts so they only have a nut of thread. If it is a manual, I think you have to remove the gearbox to engine support brackets. 2. Jack up the engine off the bottom idler mount. Jack it up till the end of the slot and nut on the mount. You need this clearance to get the pan out at the rear of the engine. 3.Break the sealant seal to sump. I found a oil pan separator tool helpful to get it started. 4. The oil pick up can be removed with the gap available.  5. The oil pan can be removed now. 6. Before assembling, do not apply sealant to the oil pick up area as your hand will rub it all off but apply to the other three and a bit sides. 7. It is a two man job to put the oil pan back, with the sealant, as you do not want it to touch anything and rub off. 8. With one person supporting the oil pan the other can fit the oil pickup 9. Apply the remaining sealant. This would be more difficult with the manifold or turbo in place, but I think it could be done. As you can see my sealant is a bit ugly, but good enough to seal. 10. Lift the sump up to the engine and bolt it on. We found it was easier to use two long guide bolts at each end to get it nice and aligned without touching.

      I find building an exhaust a really satisfying job! Looks nice!   Did you consider using an oval pipe to get the same cross sectional area but keep it above the chassis rail?

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu Sounds good.  Just double checking with the pull up resistor indicated in haltech's info sheet for their SSR - https://www.haltech.com/product/ht-030202-solid-state-relay-100-amp/  I'm guessing that would only be if the ECU did not have an internal pull up resistor? Their instructions are pretty strongly worded lol "1K pull-up resistor MUST be fitted."

      I wouldn't think you would need a flyback diode, as it's an OEM replacement parts for a fan controller/relay on a Dodge. Another tried and tested option are the Volvo XC90 (or similar) fan controllers.

      Just checking, with this would you need anything else to get yourself up and running? Do I need a flyback diode, pull up resistors or anything else?
