Just cranked her up today. I:I
Few problems,
Idle - it is idling at like 4 or 5k rpm, Carb still has that tors thing on top of it although the wiring is unpluged going to it. Any way to adjust the idle or do I need to get rid of the tors.
I am assuming that the high idle is coming from air being forced into the cylinder from the turbo. When I cranked it with just the exhaust hooked up just idling it was spinning that beast like mad and putting out pressure.
I bought an electric fuel pump for an automotive carb. and it will pump the 0w 20 mobil 1 i bought for it, Just hoping the stator has the nuts to run this dinky little pump, I think it will because there isn't alot to the pump. I still have to hook up the oiling system and fab up a tank for the oil.
I need a boost gauge, I had one on my old 86 corvette but don't know what I did with it when I removed the engine.
I need a wastegate. Doesn't have one at this time because I was not sure if it would build pressure. I need one on the cheap cause im broke.
I would say I am probably 70-80 percent done.. I need to make hangers and stuff for it to hang on the frame.. I am going to tac my exhaust together ie at the flange on the motor and at the stinger because there is too much wable and I dont want it coming apart on a jump or something and destroying the turbo or something. I still have to grind down the welds, I did not have a tubing bender or any pre bent pipes so all the bends are cut a grove and weld... :-/ and I might powder coat the tubing, not sure if powercoating will handle the temperature on the exhaust side though.... that bish gets hot. and I need to fab up the oiling system.
