I need a list together because I am still "in aw" over how crappy this went.


1. Intercooler
2. Rebuild if necessary
3. Interceptor/boost gauge (thinking about trading the stock gauge for a digital)
4. Measure out FMHE (may have a different idea)
5. Exhaust mani gasket
6. Tranny mounts/LCAs w/ bushings
7/8. Figure out a water injection setup
8/7. Consider a 3-3.5 intake






Edit: Tires when money allows. Hoping all this overtime will cover at least a decent set. Bonestock, I am going to check em out. I need something. Thanks brother.

 

Well, intercooler is getting rebuilt this week.
So I can check off 1 and 2.
Interceptor is hooked up, need to figure out why I am reading negative boost. But besides that, I like that little thing. A bit to much.
Through a code for a random misfire tonight in cylinder 2 after idling for about 10 minutes.
I really don't think my ls4 is tuned in right. The idle fluctuates from 950-1200. I am going to put the stock TB back on and see if that fixes anything.


I am saying screw the FMHE. If anything, ill double up on the stock heat exchangers being the stock one is bigger anyway, and use that as a front mount if I really feel like my temps are going to crap after I get the ic pump fixed.

 

can negative boost be interpreted as a vacuum leak somewhere? (5 AM crystal clear thought)
That idle wander does indeed sound whack.

I'm not sure if swapping the thrott bodies when you know it isn't tuned for the one in there isn't going to make it harder to sort out the root cause.....

 

Well now, at idle, it will read negative boost-it's called vacuum... My redline has been something like -9.xx psi at idle... Why not have ZZP send you a tune file, and have the tuner go from there?

I found out that I don't have the ZZP heat exchanger, I actually have one from an SVT Cobra...

 

I read -11 to -22 at idle. Haven't seen more that 4.5 at full wot. So I have a leak somewhere.


Interesting. I heard its the same thing.
