LBZ: Rods needed?

[TheBac]

I think its safe to say nearly every LB7 owners max effort stock turbo tune is around those numbers.

I think your on the right track starting low and working your way up. Less chance of breaking things.

Mine was 3100/28....then I tried something else with 3200/31. Whoops.

yep taking it to the max has its risks.

Mine was at 3250 and 32.6* timing.

That's the weird thing Tom... i ran 37* of timing 3300 PW for almost 2 years now roughly 60-70 1/4 passes in the 580hp-675hp range and as luck would have she still starts and runs like the drive i picked her up from the dealership. I dunno maybe my lockup issues have prolonged my engine due to not fully loading in engine in the early gears?

im at 1670/15.7 :rofl::rofl::rofl:

37* of timing 3300 PW

Holy crap nick...my motor started to sing at 33*...

it was actaully 37.7

actually never mind i just rechecked since my truck blows through the desired shift points at 3800rpm i see 38*

edit sorry about double post.

 

[SSchmi5519]

Say WHAAA????? 37????

 

[hondarider552]

I thought 33 was bad, and that was PPE :rofl:

 

[KEVINL]

I think I am at 27 degrees timing and 3100PW

hope it lasts

 

[paint94979]

the thing is with the tune i was talking about there is NO fuel, or torque below 2800rpm.

Well that will deff keep things in check better.... Your still having TC problems?

 

[SSchmi5519]

How abruptly does the power come on then?

If i ran that, theres no way id be able to spool.

ya i've given up on it... not to sound melodramatic but i need a break from it. Too much money, and time put into it... I feel like i am monkey whom is continually throwing a hammer at the wall over and over again

spool up isn't the best but ultimately i don't care if i wanna go all i need is to go 3/4-WOT

Are you running a stock turbo?

[racinmike77]

when you talk about timing you guys need to include RPM.

 

[SSchmi5519]

Probably spools about as well as my s472, .9 AR

ya i dunno if you have any issues with lockup at WOT but my truck with just enough throttle to lockup maybe a little past 1/2 throttle SHOOTS and stays at 35psi until 5th then it goes to 40psi... WOT shoots to 30psi then 35psi in 4th then 40psi in 5th. tuning will help spoolup
