Damn, I'm sure you know not to run the engine with the file calibrated for the smaller injectors. You will have unhappy rings in a short time. Let's see some pics of this scallywag

Yea. I just wanted to see if the cart would start. Not driving it until i get a new file from Weistec. Ignore the mess and that was just temporary intake setup to start it.

Dont you have an MIR rental coming up?

Shoot... If you do, I might have to ride up. I missed the window of good weather down here. Its ****** summer already.

blackbenzz

April 29th but who knows if it will be track ready by then
I think we missed the window up here too. Getting warm.

DAMN..... Bad AZZZ..... Nice to see a real blower belt on it too.

Can't wait for impressions compared to your last setup.

Totally lurking on this build...... for selfish reasons.

Your car is now the Borg. Others must lower their shields and surrender their titles. Their biological and technological distinctiveness has been modified, reconstituted and incorporated into it. The culture will adapt to serve it. Resistance is futile.

Car Still Not Tuned Yet. Just Sitting Waiting

Hammer Down

IT IS ALIIIIIIIVE!

I hope Wiestec can figure out how to tune your car before your event. Good luck!

THE RACE TO 9s IS ON!

Damn son, solid flex discs - ready for some serious power delivery! I'm curious - were you running stock flex discs up till now? If so, how had those held up after being subjected to your prior power setup?

blackbenzz

Only a few days left!

Yea figured might as well address what I can while I was taking everything out Yes I was running stock factory flex discs until now. Surprisingly no issues!

RedBullJnky

Any word on Wiestec tuning your car?

blackbenzz

After Several Weeks They Haven't Even Been Able To Get The Car To Idle! Waiting To See If They Keep Their Word And Come Out To Tune It.

Worth the wait

Weistec won't let you down.

Good luck buddy!

RedBullJnky

Any reason why they can't even get it to idle? How long have you been waiting for them to tune correctly?

adianaty

Probably because its a Mass air car vs speed density like the E55. Alot of things need to be calibrated and tuned to get it to idle. Along with the fact that the car never had a bypass valve before. The bypass is essentially what controls idle in combination with the TB.

Tech-Tune

Ahmad had a Kleemann blower which had a vacuum driven bypass valve (similar system to Weistec's). More than likely its a combination of MAF and ECU re-calibration.

Hope they get her dialed in for you, looking forward to her results.

BlownV8

The bypass valve is vacuum activated so that is a non issue unless they have the vacuum source in the wrong location or the electronic throttle body is faulty. The bypass valve is not controlled like the electronic clutch in an E55K. With the bypass valve, it closes when the vacuum goes away and opens when there is a vacuum. The source for the vacuum is typically just on the engine side of the throttlebody.

MAF's are easier to tune than MAP based sensors so that should not be an issue with the idle. In fact, it should idle as normal with the supercharger on top unless there is a leak in the manifold which is probably what is happening.

Quadcammer

I'm assuming that the angle of your driveshaft is intentional?

Tech-Tune

I think the biggest hurdle is scaling the larger injectors. From what I've been told the older ECU's are harder to "tweek" compared to the newer ones.

PACougar

If the bypass setup is the same as the one Weistec used in their kit then it's electronically controlled by the computer, now if they changed that for his car to a vacuum bypass then that's a different story.
