Blueprotegelx Turbo Build

[blueprotegelx]

lol...video soon. i just hope crossover responds as soon as they get there in morning and ship it out pronto! ha. may be someone stayed after work and saw my order go through and said "hey i'll be nice and ship this out for this wonderful customer!" lol

 

[blueprotegelx]

Vids suck! U can't hear BOV. Exhaust doesn't sound to bad I don't think. The first one is during the day before I put Sean's HKS on, then u can compare the afc ratio's in the second one even though it's shorter and has Seans HKS on it. I'll try and get a drive by video tomo.

 

[blueprotegelx]

Once I get my bov and wg in from Crossover I'll get a new map made. Some spots are still a little rich.

 

[xDJ DUBx]

Kiss me through the phone? lol.

What exhaust you got?

 

[blueprotegelx]

i swear i can explain. that song was on the radio and nothing else was playing. lol.

exhaust is custom! made especially for my high horsepowered protege, which at the time was 112whp or something. lol. they laughed at me when i said to make it.

it's just a 2.5" ss pipe with hi flo and megan racing muffler w/ 4.5" outlet.

i demand vids of you squealing like a little girl! lol

Glad we figured out the issue with the bov. Now I just want my car back together so I can hear it on my own lol. Time to tune specifically for your car.


Edit: I just realized a lot of my parts have been whored around the NKY area lol

 

[J_Naoto]

your afr's look pretty good now too

edit: the first video looked good lol

 

[blueprotegelx]

Sean I have bad news. Someone stole ur bov off of my car. lol. I don't know what happened. And the next time i come to ur house and u just so happened to hear an hks on mine it's not urs. lol.


Yeah I can't wait for u to get ur car back together! I appreciate u letting me borrow it. The one I ordered is the universal (black) one, I wanted silver but I wasn't about to pay an additional 20-30 more. Plus this one was on sale from crossover and I didn't want to order one from ebay b/c my luck i'd get a fake one.

hahaha glad to hear its fixed. explains the rich condition. do a blowthrough maf conversion and it'll cut down on that s***.


sometimes at part throttle my BOV sounds exactly like in GT3: A-Spec. lol

just read ur post. fortunately we are on the same track. look what I did last night:

The corrugated line I have to replace my egr is entirely to long. I need to get a new one. I think I might have the holes on my intake welded and closed off. can any shop do this?

cut the EGR line and out a breather filter on it. this has been discussed. the way the ecu checks to see if the egr is working is by using a pressure sensor. if the pressure change in the manifold is not great enough from when the ecu commands the egr to open and when it commands it closed.

 

[blueprotegelx]

Do I just cap off the manifold I assume? Would be nice bc i got a 36" line and its all looped around trans urgh...

 

[cougar10agREDUX]

no you need to leave everything hooked up or you may get a MIL. it'll run fine. you'l bounce between lean and stoich wen it opes and cloes but aer while the ecu seems to adjust, and it only activates around 10inHg, on hot days. so cruising is no problem

Looks like I might be the next boosted blue protege....

Awesome. There's a lot boosting as of this month going on. Exciting. I need to make a thread with pics of when I turbo'd.

I'm thinking about getting wheel spacers. I was looking at my wheels yesterday and yes their tucked a little but there's like a two inch gap between wheel and fender where wheels could be pushed out and make for a better stance

 

[blueprotegelx]

Wastegate and SSQV will be here on 18th. Trying to get as much done to car before heading to school

 

[blueprotegelx]

Found a crack in my coolant resevoir so I ordered a new one from PG. Out with the old and in with the new. Also ordered HKS radiator cap from CS today.

Tomo i'm going to cap off the exhaust manifold and run a filter on my corrugated line which replaced my egr line when i installed nsn thermal spacer and pnp vtcs-less intake mani.

Dynoing on the 23rd if i finish with my Athletic Training orientation class.
$50 for unlimited runs. Weeeeee......

 

[blueprotegelx]

just noticed my engine pic didn't work a few posts back:

As stated before I need to clean, paint VC, work on the corrugated egr line, install side motor mount i have lying around and analyze wiring in engine so i can tuck a few.

 

[TWISFM]

woahhh...looks like your maf and bov are really close together...
