#72586, "To Sell Solar Or Not To Sell this is the question..."


          

Well things have been going ok for now, I guess, I'm really low to the ground here in utah so i keep bottoming out. I just ordered some new springs to raise me an inch. I need a new wastegate spring because right now i only have the 7psi spring in there and my boost controller wont even function right without a bigger spring... Also I'm looking for a wide band O2 sensor or something that can help me decide if im running rich or lean... My starter motor is right next to my downpipe so it gets hot and then it wont start until it cools down... I have ordered a turbo blanket,thermal tape, and universal snap on heat sheild for the downpipe.. I also got a blanket for the starter motor too so hopefully that helps...

I want more tunability... I want more power.... Is emanage an option? has anyone had much success with it? Is there an other engine management too for our cars?

I've got a fully built motor with a big ass turbo and safc sfmu all these other gadgets and gizmo's but yet i feel like i don't have the results i expected.... I can't get the bitch above 8psi mainly do to that wastegate spring....


anyhow im just venting.... I need some suggestions can anyone help.

don't get me wrong solar is running perfect i just want more power is all.

You have to pay to play. Quitting sucks, trust me, I know.

well if you want more power...then up the boost, that's the only thing stopping you. you have no control with your wastegate at the moment but that problem can be fixed with just a better boost controller. you can't say you're not making enough power, what is it you scraed to blow up or something? with your setup you should be able to handle 350whp. i don't know about that centerforce though, i've had plenty of people personally that had one and it's a piece of shit passed 300whp. this is all part of tunning my friend, you started it, why not get to your goal till your happy.

I'll vouch for the Centerforce being a piece of shit! I ran 16psi and shot a dowel pin from the outer case through my bellhousing on a 2-3 upshift.

I don't see how the WG spring would stop you from using the boost controller. Can you explain why that is the case? Thr whole point of a boost controller is to not show the WG any boost until you get to the setting of the BC. So how could the spring stop you from turning up the boost? Also with as much planning as I have seen you do for this car, I just doubt that an SAFC will get you where you need to go. If I were you I would look into the 8 inj setup, the mega squirt, the DFI or a full standalone....
