Not too bad... I'm guessing the tune is still extremely conservative... I'm going to have to post a clip of my UG so you can see my timing curve at WOT and compare... Unless your tune is running stupidly rich, or boost is being limited for sake of IAT2 temps, then a crapload of timing is being pulled to save your engine...

That third gear pull kinda reminded me of a video I took yesterday...

NO, it's not my car, and I was not driving... We just recorded its awesome acceleration for the sake of seeing it on video...

 

Not bad.
I had my sister recording. Mine was more so just cruising back roads.
yea, my tune is conservative, but its hard to tell with the extreme vacuum leak I have. I ordered a new throttle body gasket, supercharger gasket, and intake manifold gasket. Spent way to much. My buddy is gonna show me how to rebuild my intercooler pump, too. Once I get everything figured out, and new tires (that I keep saying I'm gonna get and dont) ill be back on the dyno.


what kinda Benz is that?

 

That's a 1974 240D... It has the OM616 diesel(50hp, yay!)and a four speed manual...

 

Very nice. Sounds like she's running damn good

 

Well, my car is on hold. Again.
Sisters car needs the drum brakes re-done. I hate drums. With a passion.
If I find a wrecked redline/cobalt local, my 03 is getting a rear disc swap. Just because of how much I hate drums, and GMs design is complete garbage.

 

You'd think the for a SC top of the line Ion they could splurge for two more calipers and a cheap set of suspect rotors made overseas. Oh and some 15K mi pads.

 

I think that goalie is referring to Topanga, his 03 base model... All the Redlines had four wheel disc...

 

ah yes. I did not understand why he needed to wait for a wrecked cobalt/redline -- now i do.

Thank you. You have been most helpful

 

Yep, turns out I got messed up drums for my sisters 04 Ion 3.
Been struggling with that crap for like a week now.
Topanga needs rear disk and redline wheels. Once I find a wrecked lsj.


Small progress on my car. And I am back to the idea of blowing it up.
2 of the IM bolts were cross threaded. So trying to retap them is SO MUCH FUN.
New TB gasket, and cleaned the TB. Cleaning the intake before everything goes back on, and putting the filter cover on now that I see I need it. Bad.
Blower still looks good.
I am just gonna do the tranny mounts and LCAs while I have the car on jack stands.


Unfortunately I cant get the IC pump done until the car is back together. So I am aiming to have everything done by sun up. My car port is lit up right now. I needed a small break, so I figured I would come bother you guys for a minute.

 

crossthreaded? OUCH. Indeed sounds like fun with a tap. Well, it's an aluminum block so shouldn't be that bad-->just watch the angle so that it ends up square or.....

are you trying to resurface the drums yourself?
