quick question

WarriorBC · 08-09-2007, 02:11 PM

yeah i still haven't gotten my gto yet because they can never fix it (going on 4 weeks now). Does anyone know how long it would take to tune a LS1 with the sts turbo while running 40lb injectors, they are telling me it will take 4 full days days and that sounds ridiculous to me, but i am not knowledgeable with tunes at all. thanks in advance

sounds like a long time to me...

WarriorBC · 08-09-2007, 03:09 PM

same here, i thought like 2 hours it would take, but then again like i said i don't know that much about tuning

I could see it taking a good chunk of a day, but not DAYS. Between the dyno runs, computer tuning, and cool-down, it could take awhile, but not that long.

They're charging you by the hour, aren't they.

yeah um...we do turbo's. blowers, n2o cars and im telling u, the most i have ever seen it take to tune a car and have her perfect wa 7 hrs!!! thats without breaking anything lol

WarriorBC · 08-09-2007, 08:07 PM

nope they arent charging me by the hour, its not even technically my car yet, i put some money down to hold it but thats about it, i work at the place so i know they wont sell it, but thats what i thought that 4 days was way too long. but then again it will be waiting 4 weeks since i saw it and said i would take it ...

hm.. well, if its not high priorities... it could take a while

WarriorBC · 08-10-2007, 07:43 AM

yeah i would totally understand that ... but it would be nice if they told me that, instead of, o it will be ready in a couple days, and i go there ready to pick it up and nothing

What tuning software are they using?

WarriorBC · 08-10-2007, 11:03 PM

to be honest i have no idea what software they are using, i finally got told why it would take till monday though, the wastegate for the turbo is bad, so they have to wait on the part for that, it would kinda be nice if they told me these things, because i was going to say there is something wrong if it was going to take 4 days, so it all makes a lot more sense now, thanks for your help guys

Sounds like a pretty basic set-up. I am sure they have seen them before.

2-3 hours at the most.

Wait....15PSI on a stock LS1??? 40 pound injectors aren't big enough. Motor won't hold.
What other changes have been made to the motor?

philly rs · 08-11-2007, 10:51 AM

he said the bottom end was forged i think in the begining..i think... but he may need bigger injectors..im running 1400 psi of boost on a hot day with the spray and my injectors are stock and cant take the load on that kindda boost so i know hes screwed!! bigger!!

WarriorBC · 08-14-2007, 09:06 PM

lol yeah they told me wrong, 8-10 is what it will be running on high boost, 5 psi for everyday, they guy before me beat the shit out of it and ran it at 16 psi, needless to say thats why the engine blew, still havent gotten it yet, they said ill get it tomorrow as all it needs is a dyno tune now (i guess they were tuning the turbo before, maybe), but when/if i get it tomorrow ill post some pics of it up and i asked them for a print out of the dyno run so ill throw that in there as well (5 psi) if they give me the print out, im thinking its going to be about 425 at the wheels or atleast thats what people have been getting with similar setups

Finally got some pictures of the car, ive had it for a couple of weeks, but just now got time to take some pictures since this car doesnt go to school with me. Hope you guys like it (hopefully i can get this image thing right:
