408,STS,12psi Tuning
Ok hear is the deal, I am trying to help a friend of a friend out with his truck. It is a 02 2500HD with a 408 and STS@12psi (67mm Turbo) He does not have a wideband, I preached to him to get one so hopefully he does. The truck has roughly a 12" lift and 35" tires on it. It was at one point tuned on a dyno, this is the part that is wierd ( told him to get me a copy of the dyno sheet) Like 480 something hp and 680tq. Those #'s are way out of wack! Anyway it is non intercooled and no meth, couldnt get the truck above 70% throttle without hearing what sounded to be detonation.. It was very faint, not like I have heard before on other setups. It pulls good for a lifted big *** truck, has forged internals, LS6 cam, stock 317 heads, TR6 plugs. Did a couple logs yesterday and didnt see as much as a blip of KR, 0 Zilch. It doesn't seem possible unless someone basically turned off the KR sensors. My theory is 170 IAT's, 12psi, 22 deg timing, no intercooler, no meth, pump gas = Bad situation. I didnt read his tune yet, just logged it for awhile. His LT fuel trims are like 12 to 20, and another thing I found wierd is that in one part of the log at like 5100 rpm, 80 or so Throttle % and 12psi his MAF reading was like 51lb/min..... That seems awfull low to me for that setup, I figured he would be maxing the MAF really soon. Whats everyones thoughts on this, I am stumped, too many things dont seem to make sense to me here. Sorry for the rant.

Making 12psi with a 67mm turbo on a 408 is going to create some REALLY hot air. In fact I didn't even think it was possible until reading this. He needs to turn the boost down and start the tuning there. He might not actually be seeing 12psi either give the MAF readings. It could be a bad boost gauge or something. What does the MAP read?

Yep it is.
You know -- maybe he's running super super rich and washing the cylinders (although to me that sounds like a burbling and the truck would fall flat on its face). Maybe the tuner told him to do the same stuff you did and your friend didn't want to hear it so the tuner set him up with a tune to keep from blowing up.

I told him he should turn down the boost, and get a wideband.... I would really like to know what his KR settings are because I cant beleive it isnt getting any KR at all with the way it is setup. I also told him a intercooler would be a wise investment. I havent read the pcm yet just because I dont know if I really want to get into it.... As messed up as all of it looks to me it all needs to go back to square one and be taken from there. I also dont know if any damage has already occured...
