Rajicase's First Turbo Build, Ballin' On A (Nonexistent) Budget

[SCapelo]

I might have missed it, but whatcha doing for the tune? Got a new TRM map for the e85? Are you obd1 s52? Chip swap?

[mboor]

It's taken me a solid 6+ months to convert to positive pressure, and I'm still not quite done. Time and money always seem to be the limiting factors. I really
Don't know how the hell some of
You guys do a complete turbo conversion in weeks or days.

Vollosso is going to be tuning my hoopty.

I am obd1 s52. My trm obd1 tune is for sale along with the 60# injectors.

Today I installed the 450 and wired it up, got the back seat back together.

Literally all I need to do now is install injectors, swap chips and turn key...

I always blame the toooooner 1st.
There was this one time when my car wouldn't start, so I called TRM up and threatened his whole family. It turned out to be a dead battery, but my motto is cover your bases.

Yup and it buzzed when I hooked it up to 12v. Good to go! (I hope)

I'd complain that your gas mileage is so low with the recent tune.... I mean come on... this is beyond the "margin for error"

If I don't make 600.....
The wrath....
It will be real

[pbonsalb]

You could have made 600 on 93 pump with your 60 lb tune and your big turbo.

[rajicase]

600 on 93 is really pushing the limits of safe IMO. Especially in 100°F+ days. Even more so when racing; doing back to back to back pulls.

E85 should provide me that safety, keep temps cooler, allow for more timing, and help spool up this big turbo a bit quicker. It will also be a better fuel when I inevitably want 7 or 800whp.

Did you ever get a real tune from TRM or was it the base tune this whole time? If it was base tune I'm sure they could have played with it some.

Ah okay, well anyway in for results let's see this rod carnage already I'm excited.

I got a revision.
I have no complaints with TRM. It was a great tune that had my car running flawless from day 1. And honestly, probably kept my car together despite running more boost than I should have on 100° days; 20psi pulls back to back to back on 93 probably was asking for trouble, but she stayed together.

Let's not lol
