I'm going to play with the downshift tables and try to make it where it won't downshift much at all... I'd like to roll into the throttle, unlock the converter and be gone!! More load = max boost sooner it would make merging and passing WAY fun LOL.... I hope I can use all 235hp this thing will make

 

It will take some time to get those tables right no doubt. EFI live forums has a very nice excel spreadsheet to help out on part throttle shift points..... (efi live > hp tune btw ) Sounds like tuning the trans for the turbo is a whole different ballgame than N/a.....plus you also gotta factor in tuning for that converter....im not really sure how much that changes things

 

Tuning for the converter won't be a big deal at all... Just getting the lockup right again may be tricky...

I wouldn't say tuning the trans for a turbo setup is much different except you can control how much load the engine sees based on how the gears change and how/when they are selected... But its a fine line between between loading and lugging

And EFILive can blow me

 

poor EFILive, any progress this weekend?

Should be ready to fire sometime this weekend...

I've gotten the motor completely wired up and will be installing the driveshafts and charge piping and the remainder of the hot side today. (DP, Crossover)

Dark Halo is coming over this afternoon to assist as well. I've still got to reset my pinion angle and snug up some things in the suspension.

 

well i expect a video soon!
