BoostfoSHO 2015 SHO Build thread!

[FoMoCoSHO]

hey guys so ive been feeling my car running like s***.

Could you expand on this a bit?

Well feels kind of sluggish doesn't respond as well as I remember, it maybe that I've been tuned for a couple months and got used to it since I dog on it pretty hard once or twice a day. But it feels like it's missing the punch. Maybe it's just me maybe I need to just install the methanol and see where it goes from there.

If you think something is "off" I wouldn't install meth till I got to the bottom of it or got the OK from Brad.

Any possibility you've just gotten used to the power?

5 gear multi?

Well played sir!

Ive never see a 130MPH street log with 5 gears.

I just floor the gas and go. I live in the middle of nowhere in the country so I have miles to test run. Biggest danger is maybe hitting a coyote or a jack rabbit.  I did some in sport mode and some in drive. Maybe that's why it only went to 5th.

I'm jealous of your testing grounds...90-100 is all I get.

Well Brad has told me there's definitely something not right as you can see my wastegate shoots way up high towards the end of gear and I lose some boost even while the wastegate is working it's hardest. I have done several leak tests and fixed them. I have replaced the boost solenoid, I have inspected both turbos several times and they seem fine. No damage to fins. No shaft play. No excessive amount of oil. I have played with the wastegates and the diaphragms feel fine. I'm out of ideas short of replacing the turbos but that's not and option at the moment.
I was also thinking maybe I just got used to the car since I used to only drive it on weekends a few miles each day and now it's my daily driver 250miles a day back and forth to work.

Yea i could easily get to top it out but it gets pretty bouncy in the boat so I cut it short. And I'm not planning on lowering cause of my cutouts and dirt roads from the area where I live.

Wastegate mod functioning properly?

As far as I know yes, I hear it open very little towards the end of each shift. I've got the 17.4lbs spring combo.

Hey guys so I'm installing my meth and have run into an issue I was needing some help I have an issue with mounting the nozzle. I got my pipes used and they came with a huge bung for I don't know what but it's not meth. So I bought a tap and nozzle holder from devil's own and tried it out before installing and when I use the drill and tap holder it doesn't mist properly and it drips instead of misting. Here's a few videos so y'all can see what I'm talking about.

The nozzle is recessed into the holder it should be flush so the very tip shows and mist properly, how are you guys installing the nozzle on the pipes?
The pic below is the nozzle adapter I bought and it hides the nozzle so it doesn't mist or reach the air stream correctly.

Is this normal? I don't have a catch can btw.
I've had it on for about 4 month and this is the worst I've seen it.

Have you pulled off the Tial and checked for oil/crud buildup in the pipe?  Possible it simply failed.

I haven't taken it off I haven't had the time to wrench lately with work. I just popped the hood to add washer fluid and saw that. I still hear 8t functioning as it should but I'll take it off as soon as it get a chance in the meant time I'll garage the car.

I'm not liking the signs of that!! Check the motor oil level to make sure she's nice n full.
Based on the first Pic the radiator hose might need some attention IMO.  Z

I did check the engine oil and it's right where it should be it hasn't been burning oil or anything. That stain on the radiator hose is oil from the BOV dripping there. The hose it self is fine

Hey guys so I'm assuming because of my boost reference adapter my map sensor isn't picking up any cooling,so if I have to remove the BRA would it be ok to T off 3 line off of that one in the video ? I need sources for my meth controller, BOV, and wastegate regulator mod. Attached is a picture of my current set-up. I haven't cut the hoses to lebght yet waiting to see if it will stay this way or if I need to modify.

Would something like this work if I want to tie into that line that's  being tapped in on the video ?

Seem like a great option to replace my boost reference adapter.

 

[BoostfoSHO]

Would something like this work as long as all the fittings have the correct sizes that one is just off the internet to connect to the break boost line and then from there have a line for the BOV and wastegate regulator mod and the methanol controller ?
