Avoid driving it dude, because lean afrs on cruise can and will burn your exhaust valves.

why would it be lean on cruise? i think your right with any boost it is leaning out, that must be why the light started flashing on mine, or maybe the tune.:whistling:

Here is how the intake was setup when it was stalling.

This is how I had it afterwards to fix the stalling. I'm more convinced it was the ripples in the flex pipe than the extra length and bend, obviously had the air filter on for the test, this was taken before I put it on for the sake of the pic :).

Its the angle the BOV enters, not the bend that causes the stalling imo. It looked like a nice intake until you ditched the airbox. :thumbsup:

I have to agree with scotty here

You can imagine the BOV just venting and bouncing around in all directions disrupting the flow.

When Scotty designed mine it dumps into the intake on an angle towards the turbo

Yet another thread full of mafia's condescending crap, i hope it makes you feel tough :thumbsup:.

Not really hey, I've seen the AFRs after many of these upgrades and I know for a fact that they run lean and its not advisable to drive them far or at all.

So, dribble your shit elsewhere.

I wondered the same thing, but I've seen it on a few cars.

I'm thinking that at 2,500rpm and above the turbo is spooling a tiny bit, making the air path easier into the motor. Being a bigger turbo, its able to help more air into the engine. Think about it, at those revs, the turbine is spinning at a notable speed. The compressor would be "helping" the air get into the engine easier on vacuum, allowing it to breathe easier.

What had been tuned to 14.5 - 14.7 afrs on cruise, I'd seen go above 15. Also caused the engine to run a little hotter at cruise due to being a little leaner.

Not all but a number of cars.

Oh no not a 5% rise in AFR's, how on earth are the exhaust valves going to survive that. Load is determined by the AFM, unless theres a leak or something else isnt working as it should then its fine to drive normally. Sure the AFR's arent always going to be EXACTLY the same as they were before but your not going to kill your motor by driving it around under light load. It takes AFR's upwards of 17-18:1 to do any damage to valves and pistons under light-medium load and you'd know all about it if it was that lean.

i agree to this , the engine seems more powerful even without boosting compared to my old highflow i had, and that is significant , and its odd but i think true... and with cams i find it even more noticable..

No worries. So you just take your nose out of your ass shove your nose up the exhaust and have a sniff, and go "Yep, shes safe enough, thats about 16:1"

My whole point - Unless you have a wideband you have NFI. So is it worth the risk.

I've also seen cars cruise fine at 17:1 without a miss. Wonder how those exhaust valves are doing.

Who knows. But nah, she'll be right hey. Just spent $6k on a turbo upgrade, its just money. Who gives a f**k about the engine.

Its ok though, my cars will always be safe. And the people that listen to my advice.

      FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
