This truck is finally fun to drive again, and I actually WANT to drive it!! :redspotdance: EGTs are very nice, at full song I am seeing 1200 on the pyro. Seems this manifold is helping quite a bit! I was making 42lbs of boost max during WOT, need to get a regulator on the gate, because it may be opening. Wasn't able to apply boost to the top of the gate to keep it shut due to not having a "t" for the boost source. I did some more WOT runs from a dead stop, and looking over the video, it has big time lag down low, only from a dead stop, not while driving. Will check over the truck during the daytime when I have more time and light to check for exhaust leaks. More in depth datalogging and review will happen tomorrow :thumbsup:

That is sweet!

Drove it again, couldn't help it. Looked over the motor before I went back inside and found this...the remnants were next to the oil fill bowl lol. Guess that didnt help boost.

Yeah that 50mm gate is a bit much if she's opening all the way, what spring tension is in it, its probably opening on spool up if it has a wweak spring

It for sure has a weak spring. I remember changing them out with Morgan. it's going to need boost to keep it shut.

Congrats on it running buddy!!

He put a bigger spring in when the gate went back on. There's possibly a boost leak in the exhaust side of the piping that we couldn't find last night. Should have it figured out soon enough. Truck pulls hard with a lot of potential boost left on the table. Morgan's being pretty modest with the boost so he doesn't curly fry a rod. For some reason he doesn't want to give it a sniff of giggle gas...

when I first put compounds on my truck it took me about 2 weeks to track down all the problems keeping it from boosting. Started out at 30psi then went to 42... etc until it was up to 62psi at WOT. Keeping the gate from opening to much was my biggest problem.

Ah ok y'all swapped it good. Tell him not to be a baby, there's like 3 short blocks he can use!

Glad to hear you guys got it running! Now where's the burnout vid?

don't be a puss...just cap the gate off and let it eat. then we'll see how much boost it makes!

I think Morgan has some old toyos he's planning on shmokin down a bit.

Fixed the intake elbow gasket. I used motorcraft sealant under the CFM. I think it will work better. Also found a nut missing on the drivers side up pipe, on the transmission side, easy fix. Those two things made a noticeable improvement in driving. Seems to be holding much more boost. I'm not sure if there is something wrong with my egt gauge, but I cruise around town at 600° no problem, WOT isn't going over 1200°. 3rd gear, 2000rpms, 7psi. It's awesome. Very clean on the street too. I need to get a go pro vid driving around town, and a burnout vid here this week.....:evil:

Any idea what that atmo is doing?

MorganY · Mar 18, 2013

Unfortunately not yet, I need to get a gauge on it.

CFM elbow I presume? Ditch that thing, I had the same issue with mine, stupid paper gasket always blowing out. I had to carry spares with me for roadside change outs till I scrapped it.
