This isn't a video. Just thought I'd post a few problems and things I've fixed lately on my car.
I went to a friend of mines shop (Morgan Performance) to have a boost leak test done. He's done lots of these and thought I'd have better luck with him than when I did it myself. Every one of my injectors was leaking horribly. It sounded like a shop vac was hiding under my intake. We changed out all the o rings, did another test, same result. We ended up taking the fuel rail legs, or whatever they're called, off. We ground them down about an 1/8" so when bolted down, they kept the injectors tighter. Finally fixed those leaks.
Next week I'm dropping my car off at his shop so he can redo my exhaust in 4" stainless from the turbo back. He's also going to redo my wastegate dump so it extends down a little further. He's going to make me some new intercooler pipes from the intercooler to the throttle body in 3" aluminum.
I've noticed the last few times I've dyno'd I couldn't ever get my turbo to spool past 26 psi. Now hopefully it will be able to spool up to about 30 psi and see what I can put down with my 1.5jz. I just added a new spec twin disc clutch about two weeks ago. Hopefully all of this will result in a 700 rwhp dyno. I'll be sure and video it when I go.
Anyone around the birmingham area reading this want to install new bushings in my car? I haven't read how hard it's going to be yet. I may can find someone locally that will do it. I haven't done any research or looked at finding some new bushings yet. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks, Jay
