What is the operating temp? Because I can't read the gauge that well. But it was below 220f for sure.
I know my Efan is set to kick on high when it hits 190, so I assumed that was operating temp

Well, the thermostat fully opens at 195*, operating temp is between that and 212ish. Fan should start engaging around then. Factory gauge isn't all that accurate either, btw.
That makes sense, all it told me is that the truck was in no danger of overheating, before the tune it liked to get hot. Made peak hp at 4800rpm and peak torque at 4200rpmWell, the thermostat fully opens at 195*, operating temp is between that and 212ish. Fan should start engaging around then.

I'll post the dyno sheet when I get home tonight
Its definitely a fun little ride, even in 5th gear i could press to around half throttle and be at 100 really quick, I love it but its still got some issues
I guess I have one more question, how much does external air temperature affect the horsepower my truck makes? It was probably 70 degrees when it made 190whp. Wondering what it will do once winter is in full swing
Sounds like fun. It shouldn’t have blown the filter off. It should be sucking it on.
What did they charge you to fix the oil leak? If it’s still leaking I’d take it back. If you read my thread about our oil leak, we had the tranny out three times before we fixed all the leaks.
Cooler, denser air should mean more power.

They charged me 200$ to reroute hoses and look for the oil leak, they didnt fix the oil leak but they did fix my blowoff valve, it was fluttering before so they plugged that in right, they also rerouted some hoses so that my crankcase is not preassurized from the boost anymore. I may just drive it with the leak and top it off every week, since it doesnt put boost into the crankcase anymore it slowed down but it is still a decent sized leak.Sounds like fun.

And yes, truck is very fun to drive, the t5 is a great transmission, they should of never switched to the nv1500.
And yeah, i assume the shop forgot to tighten the clamp on my filter and it fell off at some point during the ride.
Was it worth it? to me, yes, to others? probably not. Cost me a pretty penny all said and done, but i now have an awesome truck to drive around.
Hell of a lot more power than a stock weezer…
Just got my turbo blanket from ptp turbo, and david quoted me $350 for the h beam rods
I might be addicted to messing with this truck, but a built motor would be amazing....

Truck is back in the shop, starter went out on me, going to have them fix the oil leak as well.
Im impressed, at the beginning of this thread i thought it was going to be flamed, but you actually boosted it.. impressed
Yeah, im only 18, but i have a pretty good work ethic, and if i start a project i finish it as best as i can.Im impressed, at the beginning of this thread i thought it was going to be flamed, but you actually boosted it.. impressed
Well guys, I have enjoyed my time on this forum, but, as some of you may have seen. I had made a post about wanting a 350z. I am now selling my truck
Good luck with it. Feel free to stop by and show us some pics.
Oh of course, in the future I may get another truck, but I want a 350z, and now that I have the chance to get one I can't pass it up. You all have been supportive through all of thisGood luck with it. Feel free to stop by and show us some pics.
Part of the reason I was so determined to boost it is because some of you said I wouldn't 😂
I've got a separate listing on this forum listing the truck as for sale, if anyone has questions let me know, I'm happy to answer them
I don't remember where anyone said you wouldn't turbo it, just that it wasn't worth the time or money.
Time to set sail for the Camaro forum. Toodles.
Eh, i couldnt find one in good shape around hereWhere is the Z ??
