Watching Brian over the last couple of years, I can definietly see how you mistook his actions. Project R was definitely gung-ho on the radix. That enthusiasm hasn't subsided since his job change last year. At first I took that as pimping the product, then I started seeing it as more than just a salesmans words. I agree with your description of him as "a good man with a big heart, serious passion for cars and trucks, and a genuine desire to do good things for people who own them".

Good post.

Now, which bolts were hand tight? Did it cause a boost leak?

 

word.... inquiring minds need to know.

 

Mu understanding is the intake manifold bolts were loose as a goose. This would explain alot of the problems that he was having.....i.e. low power and rich condition. I am sure once we look over the blower and put it on the test bench it will be fine. I personally will be taking care of this once it arrives so I know that it was done 100%.

BTW Kevin, did you get new intake gaskets?

 

man i need a credit card with the dough to buy one of them damn things.

 

I wasn't here for all this but I think it defintly took some ***** to write this, I'm glad you wrote it and that blownchevy was cool and accepted your apology.

 

this is the way I see it, manifold bolts are VERY loose and a couple doing nothing at all not even flush with the manifold lid. MAF says this much air is coming in, it then gets forced, BUT instead of the full charge reaching the combustion chamber, it is possibly lost at the gasket, since there was VERY little to no sealing force, this equals WAY rich.
Not good for power, not to mention what else that might cause.

 

now i feel like going out and checking mine.... even though i was the one who tightened em...
