Lol at the chevette! Not bad numbers realy tho, considering they had 52 flywheel hp as rated by GM.
You guys are lighting your turbos WAY before us 6.5 guys. Then again, 6.2turbo and I both have bigger ones than you guys, with much poorer flowing engines.
Were you spraying water/meth on those...
Got the trans tune in. First impressions: much more consistent shifts. It had been it would be soft and slippy one time, and harsh the next. Now, it is firm... each and every time!
Still learning, need to get a few miles on it before deciding what needs changed to suit MY tastes. But so far, I...
From that perspective, I can see why you'd say go optishift. But... I didn't pay that much. This is STRICTLY trans tuning, and he said he will send me the tune when it is done.
Just so we're clear, 1 tune, trans ONLY.
For what he did it for, I can't afford to do it myself... at this time.
Considered the optishift, and would have one, but can't afford it. And I don't see why I need one, when we can tune the pcm just as well, and can have as many as 6 adjustable tunes.
this truck is all about cheap. So far, so good!
Yes, I am aware it is code in the computer, not actual line psi. What the issue is, the pcm ramps pressure during shift, then goes back to it's normal low pressure operation, so when cruising it don't have enough pressure. It is holding fine for me "most" of the time, but certain times it will...
Recall earlier in this thread "buddy" spoke of trans tuning. In speaking to him, and learning how the factory has these trans tuned, I realised I am gonna burn up my trans. GM didn't tune for power. They tuned for smooth shift. So, now getting tuned for the wee bit of extra power I have.
Yes...
Thank you turbonators for furthering the db2 pump cause by your lengthy post. And thank you for reading Pepper's rules so closely...
It would be appreciated if you have problems on another site, to keep your problems THERE, and not drag them around to other forums.
If I was gonna put a pipe thru the hood, I'd do intake. Totally do away with underhood heat issues.
Custom made ram air.
Yes, I have a spare hood. Yeah, it'll probly happen!
Just want to say "thank you" for this post.
And to the rest of you guys- let's get back to our regular schedule of center mounting turbos on our scrap iron and putting new life into old technology!
On a brighter note- this weekend will be knocking on the 3500 mile mark. Running good as ever!
