Brian. Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I guess. is your manifold top mount, an if so does it have reinforcements? Excessive heat and the weight of the turbo can make it droop over time, seen that happen a few times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc43089 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Done with a build?? I think that is somewhat like an exponential curve approaching infinity, it never actually gets there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 And the build goes on. Just popped this in.Can someone school me on which coolant temp sensor controls the ecu (blue?) and which goes to the cluster(black)? I have a brown top m20 single wire sensor but want to confirm.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Deadskittles Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Isn't 400 a bit low to shoot for with an s52? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Sometimes 400hp is faster than 600hp. And besides Its not how you stand by your car, its how you race your car. As far as the coolant temp sensors, I believe blue is for the ECU and brown is for the cluster, but it has been a while so check to see how many wires each one has. I believe the ECU temp sensor has 2 wires and the gauge temp sensor has 1. You will see that the harness is missing a pin when you disconnect it.

DrLeadFoot Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 Isn't 400 a bit low to shoot for with an s52?My goal is to have 500+ to the wheels. The tune is the next hurtle I need to jump over. As of now I'm running über rich. After I get my CCV set up done I will tackle the tune.I do have 422 with a bad spark plug gap and bad tune... Plug gap fixed and she is pulling hard.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blue is towards the front of the motor and and smaller diameter thread than the black one. These might be why I'm running rich. The black sensor top broke off while I was loosening it making me think it was on it's way out when I put down dat dyno run. Bad sensor thinking the motor is cold=fuel dump. I have to look into this.

DrLeadFoot Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 As of now I'm spinning a ton in 4th and a little in 5th. Both hands on the wheel and eyes up are a necessity. I just demolished a modded STi Friday night 3-5th to 130. #h3gon3Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted October 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 jk , thats absurd! When's the funeral? Haha! It is cold and I'm running 215s. For now I'd rather spin the tires than snap something. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 I popped in new temp sensors and a stock thermostat. Just have to top off the coolant today and hopefully we'll be all good.I also replaced some standard hose clamps with tband clamps. Now the charged piping is all buttoned up.Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the tires are hot she doesn't spin in 5th. 4th just a little if I'm going straight but if I turn hang on! 3rd is squealing like the dude in Deliverance.

DrLeadFoot Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Update: My ICV connector to the head is still popping out when boosting after I installed a new one. I have to figure out how to latch that thing down. I don't want to do epoxy so maybe some RTV and strap her down. Ideas TJ? The hood is on Things to do: -Tap my valve cover to 3/4 NPT and pray that the AN fittings clear my fuel rail and that I don't crack the cover!-Install the fuel pressure regulator and crank her up to 60#.-Wire up the dimmer lights for the boost and oil pressure gauge. I should get these tasks done this week! Doctor Out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
