Re: Project "TURBONOMA" begins
I remember what i went through when the first test fire didnt happen.
I spent at least 100 hrs and tested everything.
I finally proped open the throttle body and it roared into life.
I guess I will never know lol

Re: Project "TURBONOMA"
Started it up with the new battery today. Idles rough and I have to feather the throttle to keep it running. Efans aren't working so it got hot real quick. Afr says it's 18.8 and my fp reads 38lbs. Tried putting it in gear and nada. Hope it's not the torque converter. Still have alot to do but I'm kinda motivated again. PEACE>Tony

I downloaded the program in my ecu using tunercat today. Sending it off to Frank aka Revolution for a fix. I've got a carcode scanner that I want to use and see what that shows. Things are moving along> PEACE>Tony

Re: Project "TURBONOMA" begins
Finally got back from my holidays trip to Florida. Hung out with Justin aka "Leadfoot" over in Tampa. Well I went and started up the engine and to my surprize it remained idling. Before I would have to keep my foot on the gas peddle at around 1700rpm or it would die out. I think the ecu is still on a learning curve. I did unplug the maf so it would start up running on speed density. Later I plugged it back in while still running and it remained the same. The wife just bought a new vid camera and I'm going to record some footage for you guys that have been patiently following my house of pain. PEACE OUT>Tony

Re: Project "TURBONOMA" begins
Since my last update, I've had the trans rebuilt to meet the engine's hp. Now I'm having the tb bonnet redone with a v-band clamp so it won't come off under boost and I've begun installing the 2114 intake. After that's done, we begin tunning. PEACE OUT>Tony
