Well good stuff - congrats, that must be a weight off ... so what was the trick?
RE: SCT2 VIN locked? - 05blackzx5 - 06-16-2011
not sure what prob he was having but i already had live link on my laptop since i had just retuned my car last week. so all i had to do was plug the xcal in , run the program and click unlock and problem solved.

RE: SCT2 VIN locked? - buzz2.0 - 06-18-2011
well id like to see what it can put out, but its not running 100%, ive got a terrible exhaust leak at the flex, it seems to be running lean, im getting ALOT of white smoke at idle/first start, i have an AEM wideband and the A/F numbers arnt consistant, sometimes im getting 16's at idle then sometimes as low as 10 when the BOV blows ....which scares the sh*t out of me...lol

RE: SCT2 VIN locked? - hardk0re - 06-18-2011
I don't think white smoke is good... Does this have a water jacket? (coolant lines into the Turbo?) I suspect a leak of coolant into the turbo or oil into the turbo. I had an issue with my 1st turbo setup where the oil return was backing up and i had smoke out the exhaust. Check the oil return that it is as straight as possible without any dips, also maybe even try running the turbo without coolant connected and see if this helps.
What turbo is it anyway? Where did you tap the oil feed for the turbo, was it off the back of the block or at the head? It is also possible that oil is blowing past the seals in the turbo due to pressure. Some cars have this. Is it a T28 or T25 turbo?
RE: SCT2 VIN locked? - buzz2.0 - 06-18-2011
it does have coolent lines, but i think it maybe the oil drain problem, the inline comes off the back of the block, the oil drain however is in a tight spot so i have to run a loop of line so i think it maybe to long....ill try to post some pics, but man it smokes like crazy.....
RE: SCT2 VIN locked? - hardk0re - 06-18-2011
If there is ANY complex bends/dips in the drain line it will smoke like crazy. And you will need to remove the downpipe and drain out the excess oil. Its also not good for the turbo to run it like that for too long.
RE: SCT2 VIN locked? - buzz2.0 - 06-18-2011
its definently the oil drain, ive had a couple of mechanics look at it, its way to long and bent, ill be heading to performance improvements after work to get a 90 depree AN fitting cuz i got 2 45's and they wont line up how it should be... ive parked the car now, gotta get a rental for tonight, oh well....
RE: SCT2 VIN locked? - GFXjamie - 06-18-2011
you can get an entirely new line from pi, just figure out what size you need, add in the ends and done! new SS

i dont know man...i thought the MTO was gonna catch me...i was on the 401 stuck in traffic and people around me had to close they're windows...lol ....
RE: SCT2 VIN locked? - Mystake - 06-19-2011
haha when the car was running it looked like it was running on oil, not gas that's how much smoke was pouring out. I think it ran for 30 seconds and it took a couple minutes for the smoke in the air to clear up it was that thick lol
RE: SCT2 VIN locked? - arpaul15 - 06-19-2011
Haha yea I've seen luc's Engine smoke out. It was better than any fog machine out there:p the thickness, and amount of smoke it spewed out loll
