Took it for a drive and no power loss now.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I’m not planning to. I’m just going to get one off a mate until tuning time.

I would have been shattered if I was down a cylinder. That is probably by I had a shit dyno as well. Haha

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I did a compression test and that came out 140-149 on the cylinders. I checked the maf and found the plug had come out. Looks like I need a new maf

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I have a maf, I think its faulty or dirty.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I’m wondering if its my maf that is causing an issue

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Looks like it might be a good group.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Yeah I agree its worth keeping it like that.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Yeah that is true. Nothing better than a home made tool

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Will definitely be worth the wait.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I was alright when it was mafless tuned. I had to get a std tune done to reset the ecu as it was locked. I can feel a big difference driving it

 

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

yeah i was slowly, i have seen a balancer install tool, not sure some of them would be like.

 

 

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

I had the valve tool delivered today. i will post up if it is any good or not.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Here is a photo of the dyno result that i had for the stock tune.

 

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

Gary , this is a very interesting project. Keep us posted on the updates.

[ChrisMParticipant Melbourne VicVN Calais LS1 View build HERE Member since: August 16, 2017 Posts: 140]

So I have seen a few valve spring tools and though I’d try this one for shits and gigs, but hey if it works it works. I like buying random stuff to see if it works.
