B6T trouble

[Flyin4stroke]

it dyno'd 174 at the wheels... Sounds like its time to build it up...

[bhazard]

What was done to your motor to make it have 42 more horses at the wheel than a stock b6t has at the flywheel, running near-stock boost?!

[Flyin4stroke]

Reich racing ecu, cone air filter and open exhaust.... The ECU is supposed to be good for 35 horsepower should be the same as the rocketchip

Did you regap your plugs when you went to 18 lbs?

I was running around .035

It ran awesome, just couldnt take 9 passes I guess. Tired and worn I'm thinking.

Its also very possible it spiked up past 16-18 as my autometer boost gauge is junk and reads 4 psi engine off. I basically had to guess my boost pressure. When the gauge read 20-22 psi I guess it actually 16-18.

yeah thats kinda how all those things are.. Mine reads low it says im at about 7 when its hitting around 9... its just crazy that you couldn't run a higher ET.. I did a 103 mph one run, your car should be running on 16 lbs a low/mid 13...

Must be tired

I was spinning all the way into 3rd. Thats why I didnt break into 13's. I had the MPH, just no traction at all. Something just happened on my last pass, that did it in.

I even dropped my tires (kumho ast 195/50/15) to 25 psi. Not much help.

Same tires I run. My best on them is a 2.19 60', and 13.61 @104.5mph.

Update...

Did compression test, 155-100-160-100

So 2 and 4 are down pretty good.

What does that tell me?

Cant say "put some oil in the cyls and try again" cause the cyls are already well saturated with oil.

The main problems is its running on 3 or 3.5 cyls and any ANY amount of boost results in huge plumes of oil smoke for a mile or so. Theres also oil on every square inch of the engine bay, I think its coming out of my BOV mainly.

Plugs are all fouled out, no point in trying new because they will also be quickly fouled by the masses of oil I'm losing.

Oh yeah, theres a good bit of noise coming from the top end. Very audible.

Time to pull it out and rebuild....

[xaero_81]

Yay rebuild!

[bhazard]

Yay rebuild!

You buyin?


.... maybe I can find a cheap b3 or b6 to drop in while thats going on... I cant afford to drive the bird lol. The G series should make the B3 pretty fast huh? LOL

[hofficergrover]

Yeah i'd say it's tired, time for it to sleep for a little bit to get it's strength back.
