Well guys yes she's home. Drove it around awhile yesterday, at first it would not rev past 4000 or so, it would just stumble and fall on its face. Pwer was good just not complete. But after driving it for a few hours I put Joanne behind the wheel. The first few times the same thing. It would get to 4000 or so , fall on its face , boost would drop, fuel pressure would drop below 20psi. For shits and giggles we tried on last time it went to 6000 first three gears , boost held 7 psi, fuel stayed high.So we drove it around a few more hours.
It kept running well the rest of the day.
First gear it would feel normal, then the boost would kit and like Joanne said "holy shit!" complete traction lost! The same thru the first three gears!
It revs so quickly that its hard to catch the shift right!
It went first, rev , boost , traction gone, quickshift second automatic traction gone, quick shift traction in third gone! into fourth and pulls like a monster truck.
Dont know if something cleared up or the battery is just crap, but until I get it checked again for air fuel it seems ok.Just need to play with it more.
But when the turbo comes in , hold on, it blisters the tires!
I had to relive Joanne , it got to where she was in town and rollingaround 50 in second , she would hit the boost and smoke the tires, jsut tickling the shit outta herself!
so far so good, jsut got som bugs to look for evidently and clean up the engine bay.

Glad you got it home, but I really hope for you that you get your gremlins worked out. That truck sounds as if it's going to be a total handfull to drive!!:rock: :rock:



So, what are ya gonna do for traction??:D :dontknow: :D
 
That's good to hear! Hope it all continues to work for you. Get those A/Fs checked soon.
 
no lie on the air fuels!LOLOL

There's alot of cleaning to do also, and not sure about traction!LOL Right now there is none!:D
 
Glad you finally got it back home. Hope you can get the bugs worked out....Perhaps there are still leaks, since it got better the more you drove it (heat expansion)



;)
 
First and formost, congratulations on getting her home. I'm assuming you have to feel better now.

One thing I notice is missing in the pictures is the heat shields on the exhaust side of the turbos. You really need to get those on as soon as possible. The retain a lot of heat and will burn up anything that is close to them in no time at all.

Driving your truck in the dry now sounds like what it's like for us poor stock guys in the rain.

Have fun, be safe, and for gods sake, find out what your A/F ratio is.
 
What pound fuel injectors did you install?
 
Have you figured out who you are going to get to fix it?You could have my car sponsor Scott Racing And Performance but you may not want to get it up to OH.He can clean up the wiring and stuff that was half assed on the install.

He has done some twin turbo C5`s and has a new C6 in the shop getting the twins on it.He can do it right.I would think you would be tired of getting dicked on this .Let me know if want some help .
 
Thanks guys and thanks for the offers!

not sure on the plugs, Joanne put my papers up somewhere:confused:

But yeah i got the shields jsut had them off while checking things:D and yes damn they get hot!!

And to answer the other they are 60lb injectors.

For now jsut going to diddle a tad, got a rattle somehwere? Maybethe X-metal shifter?LOLOLOL

But K-man what a RUSH!! I know how ya feel now! Damn those turbos come in and instant gratification!!!and tire anhialation!!(or however its spelt!)

But yeah mostly want to make sure the AF's are right , I know David did a great job tuning, but makes me feel better inside.
 
Congrats Stinker....Sounds fantastic.....but how do I see the pics?:(
