Tacos 4KTQ I0vt Swap: The Red Baron - buying parts again

[AngryTaco]

I just need this thing to survive bbq. Then it gets parked and converted to vems. Not gonna reach. 425hp on cis

[AngryTaco]

The other thing ive noticed is the vacuum fkuctuates at idles. The rpm also moves up and down by a margin Id have to say is 100rpm. This is consistent with a bad mixture. Oye

[scubadave]

check your boot is on properly. these issues were always a leak of some kind between the fuel distributor and intake. I made mistakes here and there with install. Im not immune.

[AngryTaco]

Heres whats funny. I did a massive long pull tonight. I hit 130-135 with relative ease before getting off of it. It was still pulling HARD. I couldve squeezed 140 out of it. Its like CIS hates starting but when its warmed up and running, its a bat outta hell

[my2000apb]

the pull wont be as massively long with a new upgraded turbo!!!

[AngryTaco]

Yeah no kidding. This thing is going to scream. Im bringing the hotside by a ceramic coater tomorrow for a quote. Might as well do it all at once right?

[scubadave]

did you already finish the polish?

[AngryTaco]

No, didnt get around to it yet. I'll figure out some time to get at it. I can always do it after the ceramic coat anyways.

[scubadave]

got mine good and started.

What did you use? Or did you just hand sand it?

[scubadave]

6 inch long shank (flame) cutting burr. 60 grit tapered sanding cones, and 120 grit flapper drum. thats not done yet either. it will be a mirror if I have the time to do so. I got maad skills.

[AngryTaco]

Well took hotside to the ceramic coater this morning. Wanted like $100 for the damn thing. Screw that Ill just polish it completely. Ex manifold was $115. Bleh.

[my2000apb]

suck it up and do it!!! it helps a ton

[scubadave]

I think its a matter of time and money needed for BBQ. I will likely suck it up myself, but not right now.

[AngryTaco]

Well the other thing I dont like is they dont polish theceramic after coating. From I have been told by a family member who owns a powdercoat shop, they are suppised to pokish the ceramic for durability. Well see

[AngryTaco]

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freakin sweet man!

[AudiSport4000]

lol

[AngryTaco]

I FOUND THE BITCH ASS VACUUM LEAK!!!!!!

stupid ass inlet boot to the turbo is torn in a place I couldnt see. Hurray for household foamy cleaners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AngryTaco]

and it still idles like crap. If it drops under 1000rpm it will die. Then its a bitch to restart it. I'm tired of this crap

[AudiSport4000]

EFI solves ALL problems

GL!

[AngryTaco]
