So my FD (93 Touring) is stock except for M2 DP, Fluidyne Radiator, mild streetport, and slotted rotors. It was boosting 5-3-3 and after Paul at AIM tuning in Indianapolis got his hands on it, I'm boosting a perfect 10-8-10! So many things were wrong with it, I can't go into too much detail or this post would be really long.... I drove it home today and wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! Lots o fun! Can't say enough about those guys at AIM! They are fantastic and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

 

please go in to detail, my friends FD is currently out of commission right now because he's boosting 10-3-3.

His mods are different, he has a 3"dp, hi-flow cat, racingbeat catback, GReddy intakes, fluidyne rad and petit AST.

Please, detail.

 

congratulations...

however this thread would definately be more interesting if there were more details

 

Is your friend local? I like trying to fix boost problems.

I would drive all the way to PA if you could fix my boost issues.

 

Local to me, about an hour and a half or so from you.

If you're serious, I can PM you directions from hburg to our area.

and if you are serious, do you think you could help with his oil burning issue too? I don't mean to take advantage of your kindness at all.

 

A bottle of CD2 will help with oil burning. Good stuff.

 

it's actually a leak somewhere in the enigne bay causing the oil to drip on to the downpipe right at the O2 sensor. When the oil hits the dp, it sends off a cloud of black smoke from the engine bay.

 

There were several problems with lazlodawg's FD.

There were several hoses mis-routed and missing. One of the major contributors was that he had a Greddy hard pipe to the lower factory Intercooler that was installed incorrectly and had been rubbing on the crank pulley. Enough to gouge a hole in it bleeding off boost.

Plus the throttle body o-ring was missing and one of the studs was boken off there.

Well, that would certainly explain it. x3.

Thanks Pauly,
