600hp was fun but boring. Going bigger!

I'm gonna install the wastegate this week or weekend after I get a couple other trucks fixed. Then after I spend a weekend at the track getting the wastegate set up I'll load a hotter tune. I emailed matt today. Also have someone else wanting me to try their tunes. I'm getting it there. Just need time.

It always takes more time than you think or plan! LOL

vanderchevy18 · May 20, 2013

At least I can keep the injectors in mine....... LOL

vanderchevy18 · May 20, 2013

Hmm. So apparently my fuel pressure may be a bit high as well. Running 70psi now. Gonna drop it down and see what happens.

Why is 70 to high if I my ask?

TrailerHauler · May 20, 2013

Good meeting you Chris.

From the smoke it looked like you were running a 300/200 injector and not your 400cc ones so I would say Matt should be able to give you more fuel. It was nice talking to ya!

This is what I was going to say, keeping in mind the turbo you were running it didn't look like 400cc's of fuel.

I have seen fuel go away on some injectors running higher than 65 psi. I am thinking that the fuel can force its way under the intensifier piston and cause the injector to hydrolock and thus not deliver fuel as well.

njjeep · May 21, 2013

So what do you recommend? Between 60 and 65 psi?

mattman347 · May 21, 2013

60-65 Is what we recommend.

7.3 Whitey · May 21, 2013

BTW matt, vanderchevy sent me what your opinion of the SCT tuner, thanks for keeping me from making a big mistake!!!

Derail over...
Did you adjust pressure and if so what improvement did it make? Not doubting a recommendation, just curious about ramifications...

Blowby · May 21, 2013

I've ran everything from 45-75 psi. My truck likes anywhere in the range of 58-62 psi so take if for what it's worth from a low post count member.

vanderchevy18 · May 21, 2013

I'll play with it when I get time. No rush right now. I can't go to Indy so its a daily driver right now. I'll get all the stuff done that I need to in the next week or so. I'll go down to 50 and work my way back up. The wastegate is my main concern right now.

The wastegate is a Synchronic. Anybody have any experience with them to give me some insight on setup? Which springs, which port to hook into, etc. I've never used one. That would be appreciated.

Tossed on an s482 with billet wheel and race cover. Sounds sweet. Runs pretty good. Little laggy but still very driveable. Gonna see what it'll do tomorrow at the track.

Dmstrucks02 · Jul 19, 2013

Nice, in for results

What's the exhaust side?

vanderchevy18 · Jul 21, 2013

81/87 with a 1.28 housing.

I ran a best of 12.78. Its choking a little on each shift. Mostly on the OD shift. Now I have an issue though. It stays running just fine, but oil pressure light is on and factory gauge shows 0. Not sure what's going on.
