I don't have a O'Reilly near me but I found a found a local place that has them. I have new MAF extensions from Stillen being delivered tomorrow but don't think they will change anything. I'm running out of ideas but trying not to give up.

Like I said. Put the old pipe back on. You won't have to take anything off to try it. It will take minutes and rule out so much.

JWillis72 12-09-2015 04:59 PM

We cut the old pipe for part of this one. Do you still have the vacuum like on the back of the Stillen manifold?

I have 4 lines going into the manifold, one right from booster to manifold other 2 too valve covers, and one goes to my purge sol.

I kept the same setup as stillen, only thing changed was the one line that goes into the coupler in the blower and the other side hooks up to your bpv.

instead of going into the coupler, sasha put it into the intake right after the filter.

TopgunZ 12-09-2015 09:23 PM

Evo. That coupler port is still the same as stillen did it. Its still pre blower. That's the only way to recirc.

JWillis72 12-10-2015 06:27 PM

It's all back together and still not acting right. MAF voltage is still off and the AFR on one bank is reading lower than the other after it runs a bit. We are to try the swapping MAFs then swapping wire again but last time the numbers stayed with the pipe. They are also going to get it back on the lift to check for exhaust leaks.

Have they smoke or soap tested it?

Yes, they have smoked it a couple times. I'm in Ohio until tomorrow night but they seem to have had some luck SD tuning it. The shop is telling me if things go well in the morning that it could be in the dyno tomorrow but at this point I will believe it when I see it.

Waiting for the good news on the SD tune and that 500+ number!!!

Let me know when you're at the shop this week. I'll come by :)

They can't tell me if it can be tuned at this point but he said I would know tonight. If the answer is no I'm done and the car is going back to how it was, well close as we can get it. Its a track car that has kept me from the track for six months and I'm over it. One way or the other this has to end and it has to end now.

Sorry for the frustration man I feel your pain. Hope it all gets sorted out

Thanks! Either way I've come to terms with it, I miss driving and either way I'm getting back to it! I dropped my son of at collage the same day as my car and he's done with his first semester and my car still doesn't run, it has to end for my sanity. I can't revers the impeller change because the old one was damaged and will leave the headers on so hopefully if it comes to that they will offset each other and I will get the same boost if it comes to that. The idle is stable so they are about to try to drive it.

Man what a journey your car has been.

JWillis72 12-15-2015 05:27 PM

So far a journey full of dead end roads.

Yeah you have had the worst luck for sure. The time you have invested being without your car is rough, but can only get better from here. Either it works or you go back to the old setup. Making me have second thoughts of trying the a-a route.

It sucks but if I go back I'm not saying I will not try again some day, I can take the air to air stuff off in three parts. I will leave the plates I had made along with the plugs, injectors, headers, impeller, flex plate and trans so it will not nearly be as hard to try again if I find the energy to try.

Damn. Was hoping to see the car running man ... Hopefully one day soon !

TopgunZ 12-15-2015 08:58 PM

So bummed they couldn't get it to work for you. I'm really confused as to why not. It seems like everything was there for it to. I mean mine worked on first try, minus the mafs being turned around, and I'm a manufacturing engineer not a mechanic. It didn't seem that hard.

You might uncover the issue after going back to w2a.

JWillis72 12-16-2015 07:36 AM

The shop owner doesn't want to quit but I'm over it.We are meeting at 11am today to decide where we go from here.

JWillis72 12-16-2015 10:24 AM

So I went to the shop with giving up as my plan and the car is idling perfect. I don't know if I'm happy it's idling or pissed off its not over.

You're happy, you know it. Clap your hands. :eekdance:

JWillis72 12-16-2015 11:07 AM

I will be happy if it gets on the dyno and starts showing that it can be tuned but until then I still believe it cursed and eating my soul.

swiss370Z 12-16-2015 11:36 AM

Good News SIR :tup::tup:

I hope everything goes the way you want it

Thumbs up from me :tup:

TopgunZ 12-16-2015 12:24 PM

It was just teasing you. Now its going to slap you in the face with 500+!

JWillis72 12-16-2015 12:59 PM

It's driving around slowly on it's own power. flashing it now with a new tune to try it again.

Hope so for his sake. What I envision is him on top of the car beating the Hell out of it like little Ralphy did to the bully on "A Christmas Story".

JWillis72 12-16-2015 03:29 PM

Well now it the transmission giving us problems. It's not holding as much fluid as it should and feels like it's slipping so that has to be fixed before it can go on the dyno.

Level 10 is telling me the TCM doesn't work with SD tuning, I'm waiting on an answer if there is anything we can do to make it work.

That sucks and is a major hole in Ecutek if it can't adjust the AT settings.
