StkmltS Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 See my click here link, I think my port job is in there somewhere. Most of my work was done down in the valve pocket and not at the opening. You'll see where my dividers are thinned too. Page 9, post 125 for anyone wanting the pics quick. My DiySB rebuild Got Misfires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stikiller Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Well got the oil pump installed and timing belt done and all closed up. Tomorrow gonna carry this beast up from my basement and do the rest in the garage. The oil cooler and access port and the btssm should be here by the end of the week, then next week the e85 tune from delicious tuning to get started on my flex fuel tune once the motor is broke in!! I expect to be up and running by next weekend!!! Wooooohoooo....7,124 dollars later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikiller Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'm either gonna go with Brad Penn or motul break in oil. Does viscosity change for break in oil or still use 5w30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 5w-30 will be fine. Do you have extra oil and filters on hand. The first oil change comes rather quickly. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

stikiller Posted August 15, 2016 Author Share Posted August 15, 2016 I went with Brad Penn straight 30 break in oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 You'll be fine, oil is oil. I drained mine after the first 20 minutes and put a new filter on. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

stikiller Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Well it's running! But....it won't idle it will stay running if I give it gas a little bit but if I slowly bring it down below 1000 rpm it dies. So hopefully that's a tuning issue. Afr drops to 10 at that point also. There is is a slight tapping coming from the passenger side head...I'm thinking a valve lash clearance may have need to loose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birkhoff Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 That's normal. The ECU needs to learn the new setup and adjust. In my experience, it takes about 10 minutes running and nursing the idle to get it to hold. From then on it will manage on its own. If it takes much longer, then there could be a problem. And of course, the valve noise needs to be chased down. Overall, sounds promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birkhoff Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Just reviewed the first page of this thread. You had a ton of mods on there. If there are back on the motor, then this is far from stock so who knows what's up. I was thinking stock or close to stock where an ECU reset always causes a temporary idle issue. Curious what the internal noise turns out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StkmltS Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Is the tapping noise closer to a clicking, or a muffled thud? Is it constant or sporadic? Does it happen at any RPM, or just below 1000? Does the noise speed up and slow down with the motor's RPM? My knee-jerk reaction is that you may have a vacuum leak causing a misfire. You had the entire motor apart and it's easy to overlook a tiny vacuum hose somewhere. Or it could be misfiring because your MAF table is off (for your new setup) enough that the computer is struggling to find the correct AF ratio. Whatever the problem is, I bet you'll figure it out after you get your AP/BtSsm hooked up. BTW... why did you get an AP and BtSsm? My DiySB rebuild Got Misfires?

stikiller Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hey everyone! I wanna say thank you all for your help and advice through this motor build!! It is idling now just like birkhoff said. I got a new revised map from delicious tuning to try as soon as I get back home. It's not really a ticking...it's hard to explain I listened to it with a stethoscope it's more like as if there is to much clearance on a cam bucket it does speed up as rpm goes up. I will keep you all posted later after the test drive. I am going up north it's gonna be about 600 mile round trip. It's gonna be some highway and some street I'll vary it all up. I'm gonna bring my oil change stuff to do a change at around 300 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikiller Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 BTW... why did you get an AP and BtSsm? To log my wideband afr since I thought the Cobb ap does not have the ability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StkmltS Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 To log my wideband afr since I thought the Cobb ap does not have the ability? If you wire the WBO2 through a TGV sensor I'm pretty sure the AP can log that signal, then from your log you can convert the data in excel. That's a pretty involved route to take if you still have TGVs. Both units plug into the OBDII port so if you want to use both at the same time you'll need some kind of Y splitter, which may or may not work. I haven't read of anyone using an AP and running BtSsm at the same time. Good luck on your trip! My DiySB rebuild Got Misfires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
