    Endgame setup- BW s257sxe

    I'll give this test a go and see what results I get. I would assume the check valves damond provides under the filters would have the proper crack pressure though. It's intermittent, but when it happens, it's bad. With the clutch engaged the car will rev up to 2k and propel forward on the...

    Endgame setup- BW s257sxe

    I've developed an intermittent idle surge up to 2k rpm. It's damn annoying. It's not a vacuum leak, as fuel trims are flat and unchanged. I strongly believe it's the CS throttle body. At this point, I'll swap back to the stock throttle body. The first one I bought was used off Fbook and threw a...

    CS EBCS Failure Analysis, Prediction and Troubleshooting

    Bear with me. This is going to get confusing. 1. It seems from a photo on my build thread, i ran the 1st CS EBCS on my stock motor (for how long? i cant recall) It was also mounted on the HPFP bracket at that time. 2. First keefover special goes in along with same EBCS (THIS time mounted on the...

    CS EBCS Failure Analysis, Prediction and Troubleshooting

    Both times i had the same failure occur. Zero boost control with the ability to only hit wastegate spring pressure. This happened on two different engine builds. Both times 12v was applied and confirmed the valve actuated. It's all documented in my BW s257sxe build thread.

    CS EBCS Failure Analysis, Prediction and Troubleshooting

    This was my 2nd CS ebcs that failed on me. To add to what enki said above, I did use thread sealant adhesive and both were mounted right on the valve cover utilizing the cam shaft sensor location. Sent from tapioca

    I was able to confirm timing didn't move. Helps to have the 20th tooth marked with a paint pen and a welded reluctor wheel. I swapped out my plugs per tuners advice. Car hooks in 3rd and pulls all the way to 8k in 4th now. I recently down sized from 18 to 17 inch wheels in the front and...

    I haven't had much time to look over the car since the Dyno day. I plan on looking at the plugs, confirming timing stayed put, and inspected both the crank and cam sensors. At the 4:57 minute mark of Frausty's video you can hear the suspected boost leak reveal itself at 37psi. It sounds almost...

    Thanks for your terrific build thread and all your help JT! I honestly couldn't have done it without you and this community. Sent from tapioca The shop provided me the 10 Dyno graph files. I just don't know how to view them lol Sent from tapioca

    Tomorrow is the Dyno day. I'm nervous as hell, but my body is ready. The car is dialed in and running absolutely delicious. Side note: I've been preoccupied with our newest member to the family. She has no name yet. Help us decide lol Sent from tapioca

    Yes sir. Gas pedal to the floor to disable fuel, PI unplugged, crank it, pause, crank it, pause. Helps to have an oil pressure gauge already to monitor pressure. Sent from tapioca

    Damn man. I'm so sorry to hear that. Do you have an oil pressure gauge? It's a must for these cars. Specially for built engines. I made sure to prime the shit out of this build Sent from tapioca

    This thing is saaaaaaucy. Traction is becoming a problem lol We're making sure things are dialed in enough in preparation for the dyno day on the 22nd.

    Replacement ebcs fixed it. Tried to take a wot log in 3rd and had absolutely no traction lol saw 34psi. It's time to rent a dyno and finish this tune. I officially have a public service announcement: do not buy the CS ebcs. The bullet Mac valve design is complete garbage. I had 2 blow out seals...

    I have not bench tested the EWG yet. I can confirm it was leaking during a 32psi boost leak test. Unless I pinched the line going to it, and even then it was bleeding pressure slightly, but that seems to be expected and normal. Sent from tapioca
