V1 Ghostknife's #383 Track SS/SC

[Ghostknife]

Right, I was just thinking of it from the standpoint of eliminating as many variables as possible. If it doesn't work right plumbed directly WG to boost source then it will never work right any other way, unless it's something intermittent going on which doesn't sound like the case so far.

So run boost tap to bottom of WGA and vent top line?

 

[KSLunsfo]

Yes, that should be correct, assuming the lower port does in fact open the WG. At least I think that's the case for most all WGs...

 

[Sluggonaut]

I agree, I wouldn't add a manual controller in between, just run spring pressure to ensure the turbo is working correctly. If so, you can start troubleshooting the controller/lines as you add them back in.

Ugh went to go to a local car show today and No Start condition... grabbed the positive fuse post on the block and it must have broke off inside. simple fix I guess.

 

[Ghostknife]

Long time no update, rain in the fuse box got me again (see above). I replaced fuse panel and now we are good to go, or so I thought. I went to a local cruise and after a little while the battery light came on and I pulled up my tablet and I was sitting at 12.2 volts while driving. Thinking the rain may have popped a fuse somewhere? Besides that, I haven't been able to do much cruising around in the goblin due to life (dang kid) lol. Hopefully this fall with some nice days and a baby sitter I can get out and do more data logging.

How’s the tune coming along

LOL I almost feel bad, I haven't started the goblin in a while. The kid definitely has taken all the free time in my life. Next week Monday or Tuesday I will have my babysitter back and will be able to dedicate time to get out for a drive!

 

[Ghostknife]

went for a quick drive today, decreasing my plug gap really helped with the breaking up. I was definitely getting blow out

I might have to close mine some

Probably a good idea, I was surprised to see instantly 14lb of boost and no breakup. then I popped an intercooler boot off and had zero boost again lol

 

[Ghostknife]

This should help the T-bolt clamps hold a little more boost.

What, no demonstration video?

Those beads look very nice, should keep your hoses in place now!

I can do a video if you all want. Nothing too crazy though. Put the roller in a vice, insert pipe and roll over a couple times, tighten down and roll again. Continue until the bead is as big as you want.

Nothing more satisfying than Spring cleaning, new shelves in the garage makes it easy. Still have more cleaning to do but its a start, will pull the floor up and sweep/wash and get the cobwebs out.

Nice new wrap? Looks good, but so did the sparkly black.

Ahh you caught that did ya! lol. Yup new wrap, wanted to brighten it up a bit for my travels at low light times. Dont worry though, the sparkly black paint is still under there.

Gunna try some different lights, these have a high/low/amber all in one vs just a driving light that I had on before. Want to be able to use it to go to work in the am but there are too many deer out at 430. I definitely want to be able to see them. Not DOT legal, but also not the worst law I’ve broken in the goblin

 

[Ghostknife]

I was worried about the size but I think they fit pretty well
