Fishdonotbounce's ATX Turbo Build

Subbing, nice to see another turbomatic such as myself out there.

He replaced me after I de-turbo'd the P5 ;)

And Fishy I told you this on TMF but I'll throw it in here for others as well, you wanna swap locations of the BOV and MAF. You want the air to blow off before it's registered by the MAF, not the other way around.

Other than that, good work. I'm impressed by the gauge pod you made, it looks good.
 
Ok small update. Tomorrow I will be rearranging the BOV and MAF. I will also be soldering the hell out of the wires that attach the o2 clamp to the ecu wires. It seems like the clamp is not clamping whatsoever and I'm getting insanely high ratios which is not good at all. I'm starting to get quite a bit frustrated but hopefully I can get this figured out.
 
It was pretty awesome to tell you the truth. I just couldn't get the nagging fact that I still can't figure out the lean issue out of my head. I hope I can get all this figured out.
 
Definitely. I decided I'll be going to Toronto for te annual Familia picnic in two weeks. You should come out if at all possible.
 
no, I'm driving in... like always
but not in the ******* protege :mad:

I'm driving the van because I got a bunch of s*** to haul back

I drove the pro up there last month and it was solid the whole way... I did a (personal) canon ball run to there and back... motor ran for 24 hours straight and no issues... all it did was burn half a quart there and half a quart back
I was planning to go to MoM but some s*** happened back home so I had to haul ass back... driving through missouri, arkansas, and east texas at 100mph average was NOT fun

I'm still pretty mad I didn't make it to the huge meet... but c'est la vie

ahaha. that'll be fun. i'll think about it. what's the date?? location?? is it just a day trip or something?
 
yeah.... getting on boost up and down the hills and on the highway to pass people tends to burn oil ;)
 
I think I figured out why we burn oil though... wait for a thread I'll be posting soon
