550's to 740's...
that's 35% more fuel than before.
You should have to pull a lot more than a little fuel before you see any big changes.

is 10:1 @ idle, part throttle or just WOT?

 

Wide open. It's @ or around 14.7 idling and low load/low rpm around town.

 

Is that bad Pat?? i'm just trying to understand what you guys are talking about.

 

It started off at around 10.1:1 - 10.2:1 at idle. That's not good. Idling and around town you want to be 14.7:1. I've since leveled that out.

At WOT, you want to shoot for 11.1:1 for turbocharged engines.

 

You want to shoot for 11:1 on the EJ20 engine. Some other forged piston monsters on premium fuel allow for a bit leaner mixture...

So are you set on this weekend Pat?? :banana:

 

Nope. Still waiting on head gaskets. Once those come in, I'll be set.

 

I'd call him on Wed.!

 

Got gaskets. Got turbo (see below). Got some dino and a filter. Need to get plugs. Got my IDCs below 90% and I'm not but about 10.5:1.

What else? Do I need any specialized tools (beyond a cherry picker, a breaker bar, jacks/jackstands, WD40, metric sockets, I'll need to get some anti-freeze/water mix, I've got all the turbo/up/downpipe gaskets I think I'll need.

Mike, if you read this, please chime in with some additional stuff I've left off. Could you PM me Francis' phone #?

I hope it all goes well.

I just noticed. Am I going to need to get some studs for the turbo-to-downpipe?

 

Oh HEll Yeah!!


... just reuse the stock studs.

 

Sounds good I got everything else.

We need to get an early start on Saturday, I have class on Sunday from 1-5. We should get it done before that, pending anything major.

 

Hey Pat, where are you going to be doing it at might stop by to check it out...

 

Mike,

Any chance we can get a head start on Friday night?

Jeremiah,

It's going to be at Mike's house. Give me or Mike or Dan a call.

Everybody needs to know that my preference is that every HIIC member who's interested can come and watch, but understand IT'S NOT MY HOUSE, so I can't invite anyone. I've got to ask 18hr.

Also, I don't think it would be a problem if a bunch of folks came over to watch but there can obviously be only so many folks working on the car, and it's my intent to keep the BSing to a minimum.

I know that if Wes is there and I find myself BSing too much; the next thing I'll find is that the car is done and I'll feel guilty for being a lazy *** and taking advantage of someone's good will and hard work.

 

I have a cherry picker.

 

Can you ask of me and Justin can come Pat?? PLease, Please, Please!!!!!!!! I'm like so excited for you man. That turbo freaking Dwarfs the stocker
