Hill country forced inductions "modded" VF52. Its not some huge rotated set up, but will be a welcomed bump of HP from the stock TD04. They rebuild and ceramic coat turbos, but also do billet wheels and ports/polish. just waiting for it to get here so I can go do the pretune inspection and set up some dyno time. Bug eye is going to despain on Thursday for checks. I trust them a lot, and I know they'll figure out what issues this thing has.

Yeah I'm not sure how easy it is to find E85 around here, considering I can't even find 93. But the turbo will be a lot of fun once it gets here. I'm glad I got the extra bells and whistles because I was a little worried about spool time going to a bigger turbo, I just need it to get here so I can go down to Simple and have them put it together.

well, got it smoked and its got a bunch of leaks from the turbo inlet through the intercooler, boost control hoses, and throttle body. It's down at simple being looked at and they're going to help me with the AFR numbers after swapping leaking stuff. Better than a dead cylinder, which is what I was dreading. its gonna sit until after the holidays though.

Welp.. I spoke too soon. It's not a dead cylinder, but I have low-ish compression across the board. It's coming in around 125 on the compression test, So I now need to figure out what goes into pulling and refreshing an EJ20. I've never done this, but I'm mechanically inclined and willing to learn. Looks like it's going to sit for a while so I can read and buy some parts/piece together what I need before tearing it apart.
Also had copper spark plugs that were gapped way too far out, so Simple is throwing some iridium ones in at the proper gap and I'll see if that takes away the stutter. Feeling like I bit off a little more than I can chew here, but you don't leap over a mountain, you go up one step at a time, right? |

What am I missing? 125 is really good especially if they’re all reading equally

The stutter is gone though, so I may just cruise it for a bit and then dive into the engine when I'm ready. As long as it runs and drives I'm happy to daily it while I do the turbo/tune on my hatch. I guess my big concern is, will the motor hold for drifting at 125 all around, or under that much load am I begging for it to grenade. |

Niceeeee! Glad to hear you’re really liking the big eye. Also, glad to hear everything is running good. I have to do my first oil change this weekend since I put the new engine in it August. I hit 3200 miles just yesterday so a little over what I would like. I also need to get my wheels rotated and possibly another alignment. |
