1. anyone got things to check (check list if you will)before start up i mean everything down to the "did you put oil in it"?
2.do i have to do any pre start up tuning?
3. if so what am i going to want to change for a base line? or is it start it up and then tune it to where it needs to be

 

front mount, May just make sure its gonna pump oil. IE, pull the oil line off the turbo and crank it over and see if its pumping correctly. Make sure the air intake is clean, other wise its thru the turbo or motor.

you will need a tune. I wouldnt touch boost without one. Do you have a wideband? whose doing th tuning?

 

yes front mount, i do have a wide band, either i will be doing the tuning or a place in newark ohio you say the specialize in ls1 powered cars and trucks. i was going to disconnect the intake tube for the turbo to make sure everything with the motor is good then tune it with the turbo. only because this will be its first start after an un-needed rebuild do to a wrong dianosis on my part.

 

spark tables. I would just reduce the whole table a lot at first for thee safety of it. or at least just put from around .52 g/cyl up to the max, from 2,000 rpm up to around 10 degrees solid, Get the fueling right then worry about spark advance.

you running a maf tune or what? PE needs to be changed as well

 

want to run 2 bar sd tune and some one suggested open loop

 

any thing else i should consider, cats/no cats?what items do i need to monitor with gauges, trans, fuel pressure?
