Does it run better?

[SwiftMKIII]

Black looks good.  Did it make it run any better?

[brandonb85]

When sitting at idle there isnt as much idle movement... 720-640 usually... now its somewhat at 680rpms ... which seems low to me...

Cabin air sure did make it smell better though  .

I'm yet to swap diverter valves and do a compression test. Finally got my o2's in just need to get this vacuum crap figured out so i can slap them in..

[Barry]

so it still runs like poo or what?

[brandonb85]

Yes like poo..Were you running a boost gauge on the VRT? how many hg's were you pulling at idle?


Fingers crossed for a upcoming compression test ...

i'm nervous for my car ll

[brandonb85]

Little wheel update...

Before


Doin' work...


A little stretch anyone?


First shot done. A wash and more pics to come..



I don't really know what i think of it yet. It is nice to step away from the "murder scene" for once though.

I'm dropping it down sometime this week whenever i find my wrenches for the coils. Also going to remove the rear perches to get the ass end down more..

looks good man.  Sorry to hear about the issues with your s/c.  I really wonder if the blower is bad

If compression test results come back good i'm going to send the charger off to be rebuilt. I wonder if a seal is bad and im losing vac through the charger. I have a complete rebuild kit for the charger but dont know how hard it would be. I would almost rather send it off and have Vortech warranty it anyway.

[scurvy_bandit]

Did you check the diverter valve yet??!!

[Barry]

If you do send it off, have them  rebuild it with straight cut gears 


You'd LOVE that whine

Sorry Ryan i dont have anything else cool. Just these hp's , my monte's, and some steelies.  I was referring to my brother Skyler (formulanerd) who has way too much stuff..






Here is a quick video i shot tonight of me tapping the throttle. You can hear how it sounds like poo.. I'm about to pay a shop to perform a leak test and anything else they can do to figure this stuff out. I'm tired of the problems.

Well the Vr6 is a complicated engine only in the sense that its really hard to find where the tampon goes and once you do find that spot and pop a fresh one in with a nice strawberry scented douche she will run perfectly for a very long time... 

[scurvy_bandit]

good way to put it.
