UPDATE:

Installed the AEM EMS last night. My buddy D-tuned programmed the initial break-in map. It made so much of a difference, it's awesome!

I was spooling the shit out of that SC61. We were only boosting 6 psi on a conservative tune and timing. The idle still needs some work.

To initially get a base tune, we had to get on second gear and go WOT all the way to redline which we set at 9000 RPM. I sat on the driver seat as D dials the numbers and log the data. Each time we go, I would let off at 5500 RPM cuz it would scare the fuk out of me. I had to let off about 3 times. The 4th time, I just held on to dear life and drove it pass 9000. We went back to my garage and saved the data. I was shaking for half an hour.......

It feels good that my Teg is starting to get to my goal. A few more street tune and we're off to the DYNO.....

......stand by...........

UPDATE:

Shit happens..... This project is really testing my patience.... but I will win!

So I got the car running but it was smoking really bad. I waited a few days thinking that it maybe just residual shit is the system. However, the smoke wouldnt go away and it gets thicker by the day.

Myself and a few other friends concluded that I was burning coolant. I was somewhat convinced but I had to do something about it. So I pulled the head off and replaced a head gasket that didnt even have 100 miles.

I put the head back on and torqued it down properly. As I was installing the rest of the components, I noticed that there was a puddle of oil inside my SC61 turbine housing. No oil in the compressor housing. The charge pipe is dry all the way. The head exhaust ports are dry as well.

This was the cause:
When I initially installed the turbo. I had the move the compressor housing around to get the discharge side to match with my charged piping. As I was securing the back bolts of the compressor housing, the housing did not sit fully flush therefore the compressor blades started rubbing against the housing. As it rubbed against the housing, it misaligned the turbo shaft causing the turbine seal to fail. I reposition the housing the retorques the back bolts. It doesnt smoke or leak as bad as it used to anymore but I cant tune until I fix this issue.

It was my fuk up. The rebuild is $400 and will cost me another $300 to upgrade to a large housing and bigger blades. So screw it! I'm getting another turbo. I'm undecided to either get an SC63, GT35R, or fully custom T3T66. The price range is about the same except the GT35R will cost a little more.

arnel just rebuild it yourself, it's wicked easy especially if you yank heads in your spare time. I replaced the turbine shaft piston ring on mine and it was cake.

Hell if you want, i'll do it for you. I'm assuming you only need a new piston ring or is it really fucked up?

Sic, taking off the head is elementary stuff was you do it once. On my D-series, I had swapped 3 heads off and installed them the same day on a 6 hrs time span.....

Theres is more to it than that. the inside wall of the compressor housing is scarred and needs to be remachined. Otherwise, I would've been all over it bro....
