single turbo on mmr longblock help needed

[99TTGT]

1 more time- YOUR SPRINGS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM! VALVE FLOAT DOES NOT HAPPEN AT 4200rpm AND ONLY 8 PSI, the post above is a car with double the boost. And your springs are not "entry level springs", up until 1 year ago they were all that was available and we made 800+ RWHP on many turbo cars making 30+ psi, here is one:

Now if you still want to blame those "entry level comp springs" as you call it go ahead, we are trying to help but we can only tell you so many times.

Can you post a pic of the engine bay of that car?

ps# MMR check your pm box

I had endura tech valve springs that had 112lbs of seat pressure in 05. Crower had springs with 100lbs on the seat at that time also.

i see comp has the beehive which are at 93 seat
and they also have some at 120 seat

will the higher seat pressure put more wear/stress on the stainless valves? trying to learn all i can about this car, thanks for the help.

going talk to the trans builder to see what he thinks about the trans being the problem since it's the only thing that changed since this latest problem has started. was pulling like a freight train before the trans broke, had it rebuilt and now it's dragging down under load. went thru all other options other than new tune and everything checked out.

well, the transmission lost 3rd gear once again tonight. tried to roll into some low bost and it lost 3rd completely. 1st and 2nd were pulling like a freak though, so the trans goes back to the specialist monday morning under warranty for the fix. hopefully back on the dyno next weekend.

man that sucks..thats why i went with a lentech..good for 1500 hp with a lifetime warrenty..

[1crzhrs]

mine has a lifetime too, good thing is he's local and will pull it fix it and put it back in. has all the same parts as the lentech other than the pa valvebody. one day it'll be finished, just glad to finally know what my problem was this time around.

[1crzhrs]

finally heard back from pa and the valve body had a bad pressure and manual valve. they fixed it up and tested it and shiped it back today. should be back on the road wed or thursday to do more break in again.

finally got to drive this thing some tonight. for some reason in lockup it lays over in 3rd and barely builds rpm. 

but with the lockup off, hold the fuk on son!!!!!!!!!!!!! i figure screw the lockup for now. i need to have some much needed fun in this damn thing lol

had the mickeys at 18psi and on 8pounds of boost with 14* timing i roasted 1st and 2nd with them heated up. feels great to hear this thing scream like a demon finally! and it does sound frikin awesome too!!!  

shakedowns friday night at the track hopefully on the low boost. remember this is just the break in tune with minimal tweaking. still got a ways to go, it's gonna be a beast!
