latest HP log file with what i would guess is a decent idle on start / turn-over

semi stock tune... simply adjusted a couple tables... still waiting on funds for the wideband sensor... I'm still trying to make heads or tails of the VCM scanner data. Will post here after getting a good understanding of what i am looking at...

ok... first fairly decent day i got to wrench about in the garage... the 80# dekas are in and run like crap on the old tune... I know it was risky to turn over the engine for long with the larger set, didn't have it on for long when i heard the engine on a rough idle... I tried to push the...

No worries mate, this is exactly what the forums are meant for.... learning and sharing knowledge so we all don't stumble like i do with the L61 engine, LoL. I'm glad i could bring something to attention though, sorry ya gotta now fix it... but you learn, yeah? That oil connection is...

YUPE!! that's all i need then... I gotta drill that bad boy out when i am ready to plunge Thanks VERY much for the confirmation... will have to bookmark this in the other thread i have documenting the process.

I did try to source a couple oil return lines that would use a weld-less bung, but neither worked with the turbo drain port. the screws were not the correct size and more so the holes for the flange wouldn't line up with the Z54 turbo threads... I was in contact with ZZP and they confirmed...

I've been heavily leaning on and learning from Bar-Air's posts back in the day when he turbocharged a 2.4 ecotec.... I was trying to confirm on my own but have only gotten so far with google and forum searches ( here and elsewhere ) but i really want to ask as confirmation before i do...

Welllpp!! guess I'm learning the hard way then, ha ha ha. thanks for the heads up, I'm niavely finding out things and running up against each hurdle in this. I've been trying to track down the injector data but also trying to understand each and every detail to it too... slowly but surely...

trying to track down more data on the injectors i bought for tuning purposes... KSM 840cc injectors Flow rate @ 43.5 psi/3 bar: 80 lb/hr / 840cc/min Static Flow Rate: 875cc/min Dynamic Flow Rate : 18.6 mg/pulse 2.5ms PW, 20 ms Period Fit Deka EV6 fuel injector - Long size the wideband sensor...

Bump for another question if people know the answer.... Does the Watercooling only need the two ports that are shown or will i somehow benefit from having all four cooling ports utilized?? Having supply being run through two ports on one side and two ports on the other as return... not sure...

heya folks... at the risk of sounding like a complete idiot... does anyone have confirmed plumbing instructions for the Z54 turbo from ZZP? Thanks in advance for the help... I've tried scouring for example plumbing images and diagrams with little to no luck unfortunately for me, I've not a lot...

on a tangential note, can the black device that is in the pic be swapped out?? I'm understanding that it is a boost controller, but what if I wanted to simply swap out for a needle valve to keep the intake level consistent? or am I over simplifying it in my mind?

I was also able to solve the fitment issue i was having with what i didn't realize was an oversized cool side housing... I mocked up a cardboard template to trace on to some scrap steel I cleaned up and found that it was enough thickness, 0.17", to put a gap between the housing and manifold...

So the Exhaust issue is resolved for the most part.... I think I was able to snap a few pics of the exhaust side of the engine without the manifold I assume that the problem pointed out previously may not be an issue, but I am willing to learn the hard way on fitment before the turbo is...
