Thank u GM

For funding my DD moddin habits

ordered:
-replacement sc outlet gasket(mines bad)
-2.8" smoothflow pulley
-stgII belt

belt and gasket will be in tommorow. Ordered thru dealer so it's next day delivery. And the pulley was ordered earlier today. I know my clutch isn't going to like 16psi...but oh well...

Good stuff! Downsizing to a Man Pulley is fun.

Lol, yeah, I wonder how my stock 2.2 clutch is going to like it...I don't think it will be happy about it. It's slipping as it is with the 3" pulley.

 

[SportLt]

its not about what the car wants, its what you want....just wash her and wax her...she will come around.

 

[Zdeuce4]

are u comin to dyno day?!?!??

 

[cobalt123]

im sticking with a 3.0 until the clutch is upgraded

She probably won't like it... haha. You are going to pick up a good chunk of Torque... and that's what'll chew your clutch up.

how much was all that?

Well **** me sideways and call me jn2...I'm so pissed..broke a intake manifold bolt. The one on the far left, helps seal cylinder #1....yeah broke, and I let someone use a bolt extracter to get it out whole I went and got a new bolt. Came back to a bolt that had a hole thru it. Wasn't centered. So it stripped the head. And ontop of that he tried to rethread the head using another bolt. And it wasn't even straight. So today I have to run a self tapping bolt thru it and hope I don't have to remove the manifold again. I get a major boost leak at 12psi...no matter the gear. It will sputter when it should hit 13psi...

See... u shoulda just bought an SS/SC... no need for all this modifying

 

[Jn2]

Nah. This isn't a ecotec issue rather a bolt breaking. Than failing to get it out

That's what it looked like at first. Now it's all fucked up, a new bolt was threaded into the old one...it's a fucking mess...

 

[XxChristalSSxX]

U know I was just kidding; hope you can fix it asap, tho.

 

[Jn2]

Yah I know Ima try and just cross tread a new bolt thru it. Hope that works.

I broke one of mine off when I put a TB bolt into where a manifold bolt shoulda gone, use a "heal a coil" kit, works great and its not too bad to do if you take your time.

Yeah I picked the spiral looking thread inserts. Ended up just redrilling and tapping he original hole. Worked perfectly. Now I other problem...I think I may be madding out my injectors or something. Bc in every gear at 5k rpm it sputters like hell and leans the **** out. Fucking great. I fix my boost problem. Only to run into lean issues again. It's he dyno all over. Gunna re check my fuel pressure and if it's good than order me some 60's and sell my 42's

 

[Zdeuce4]

shoulda started with 60s man.. u know this!1

 

[cobalt123]

^im doing this

 

[Jn2]

shoulda started with 60s man.. u know this!1

well 42's should be enought o handle a 2.8", haza was running 42's on his 2.8 and we're in the same city, same conditions, same engines, same tuner

plus i think i found my problem:

P0122
P0171
P0223
P1682

 

[cobalt123]

quite a few problems

 

[Jn2]

found my problem, well narrowed it down to the injectors being max'd out, or the tune is off......everything else has been cleared...so upgrading to 60's should cover all my problems...if their max'd injector, it wont matter bc ill have all new ones, if its in the tune it wont matter bc ill be retuned for 60's...
