Default First Start up!

Yep, well technically not the first, the real first time we had some issues with exhaust rattling so now that its fully squared away, here she is trying to run. i'm not sure if there's a vacuum leak or not, trying to track down all the reasons that it could run this rough. dad says boost/vac gauge is reading 0(might just be ****ty gauge? damn glowshift)... its still running the original tune from stock motor for turbo. not sure if maybe thats why?

lemme know if you can think of anything to help me out. i have to remotely explain things to him via email, which sucks.

well a tune I would imagine must be in order...especially if you are upgrading fuel system stuff...

You take that vid with a camera from 1970 or something? LOL

the only thing thats changed is the cams, clutch and new motor/heads. its already been tuned for the 42lb injectors/maf/svt pump.

my dad took this video, he's the one that started it. the camera is pretty old, it's still got the old small "digital" tapes lol.

i havent found any video's of MHS's turbo cams at idle, so i dunno if they're supposed to be that aggressive, which i'm pretty sure they're not.

still no progress... trying to find a place that can burn a diablo chip base tune.
might actually skip the diablo base tune and go straight for Speed Density and/or MAF combination with a complete megasquirt setup. at some point i'm goin megasquirt anyways, i just wanted the Diablo chip to clear up any sort of SES light's i'd have and for a "base" tune while i play with some settings in the MS.

sucks i cant get up to MA to actually hear it in person. might have my dad re-take a video using my brothers droid X.
