no problem get it running like it should... have you stretched the springs in all the boots?

[rigor]

i did the spring stretch a while back but, im going to make for damn sure, they are making good contact tomorrow...

Sorry can you elaborate?

Also, you're running NGK plugs, gapped at what? Did you change the gap at all?

[rigor]

it was sparking in the boot, instead of the cyl. cause of pour spring contact

ngk gapped @ 24..

no but tomorrow i was thinking of going to 22..

has any one tried copper plugs?
i hear the eriduim is a bunch of hype not much better, if at all??
and that the tiny tip blows off, under heavy boost?

kenne bell recommend copper

[rigor]

ohh and after i fixed the plug, my car quit spraying fuel out the exhaust

[spnkr21]

Wow rigga it's hard to read what you type lol. I hope you fixed the problem but seals are inevitable. I can't remember, did you ever take off your mani and check for exhaust/fuel at the injectors? Might still be a good idea.

[psychophyr]

Copper plugs are certainly the best for most FI cars, but I dont beleive there are any available for our cars

ya but not available so at least im not walking! or driving the pig

they will be changed when they become available

sorry about my writing that is one reason i have trouble describing problems on here, i can't spell at all,

i edited a bunch of the posts, to make them a lil easier to read

and spell check can't figure out what im trying to spell, so sometimes i change it to something spell check knows, and prolly using the wrong word to explain something.
100% mechanic, flunked egrish sorry lol

[djuosnteisn]

Very nice. And most that popping probably was after fires from all the unburnt fuel. Spring stretch FTW.

And for the noobz reading this thread who might want to stretch the springs, here's where they are:





The boot just pulls off with some love.

Haha i was just going to post something like this as I had no issues reading his posts either. Must be similar mind sets or something

I actually enjoy reading your posts man. You'd be surprised how many people actually try to use funny words like you (lulz, pron, haz, forebber...) but to you, that shit just comes naturally hahahaha.

[rigor]

thanks guys!

hopefully i can get onto a little win!

[spnkr21]

Haha. I'm just shitting on you Riggah

[rodrigo]

pm me when u get some backwoods videos nigor

[rigor]

well i leaned out my map a lil, test her out tomorrow! so dj hold off on wasting your time with it, ill get it closer then, you can fine tune it!

[rigor]

more probs with smaller gap 21, so tomorrow im going to try 25-26 see how that goes, it is definitely spark related, if that don't help turd needs to hook me up with the bas !!

i was having problems @ 4800 awful missing

fix spring 1-2 misses 24 gap @6500

close gap down 21 missing @ 5700

so it is moving with the gaps so hopefully can find a sweet spot!

and hopefully leaning it out will help with firing it off!, it could be so rich it's putting out the fire!

[NJSPEED3]

Hey Rigs im glad u figured it out. I know Spanker asked this but like u said sometimes its hard to understand your shizzle.

Did you in fact pull the intake manifold out and took a good look around the injectors?

[rigor]

no ill wait tell they have something to replace them, if the head goes bad fuck it! i pull the mtr shuv a new gen small block in the fucker, hang a rear end under it, and run a 4l60e, and turbo that instead

i hear no popping under the hood, it is all out the exhaust, after fires do to the spark going out, then getting lit in the collector, near as i can tell!!

im going to try these 2 adjustments today, then im going to leave it alone till some seals come along

their just no win for the old nigor rigor

[socks]

dang man, i forgot all about the spring stretch. i did that early on and forgot i ever had to. lmao.

[rigor]

i ordered new plugs

their was a lot less missing with the leaning of the map, so hopefully their is more room to lean it even further do a data log on the way home

[rigor]

ok boys she is runnin hot!!!!!
and it is sill in the high 10s low 11s



video uploading now and it sounds good to me
no missing !!!

leaning it out did the trick

[rigor]

here you go!

[djuosnteisn]

Very nice. Lemme know when you want help with the tune, and you can take full advantage of the setup man.

[jwilkins88]

Sounds good mang!

[rigor]

thanks dj, ill try to get out to do another pull maybe Sunday, and send it to you.
and you can work your magic!
notice the timing came up on its own...

[rigor]

i think that is a wrap on the tuning, the thing just spins through 3 gears @ about half throttle, and will smoke them @ will in forth, i see no need to get any more power out of the stock block!
it feels like the mtr is going to tear in half
seems kinda scary when you romp on it in fith and it is switching lanes hunting for traction

im very pleased with the result!
i drove it to medford and had a blast with it....

[mghtymouse380]

Glad that it is running good. Sounds like a fun ride. Are you gonna dyno to see where your numbers are at or do you not care about the numbers?

[rigor]

their is just no place close, if their was one in town, id probably dyno this week, but the but the closest one is 4 hrs away, and if it blew on it, it would suck, and my toe rig is old and slow so it would be a long drive with that turd, to trailer it up, and back!

but you never know

[ScarMS3]

trailer it and take it there then trailer it on the way back

[rigor]

lol

Put a video of a 3rd - 5th gear pull man, I wanna see that beast in action!

And email me a final log, so i can at least see where your sitting. Sounds like a blast man, good job!

[rigor]

i will i need to work on a couple little things, maybe tomorrow il do a log or 2

[rodrigo]
