    Turbo Tahoe?

    Still need to get the driveability portion complete. It drives a lot better since I installed the other O2 sensor back in so it runs in closed loop but there are still adjustments to be made. Has plenty more power without even getting on it to get where you want to go. Also need to get the...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Nothing done to the trans aside from whatever cooler comes on the PPV models. As far as the MAF sensor I just ordered a flange and had it welded onto the intake charge pipe.

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Truck made it to the dyno today as planned. Had a plug wire get burned through the heat sleeve causing a misfire so I had to replace and and get that squared away. Truck primarily got tuned for WOT due to me only having one O2 sensor in and not being able to completely disable the second front...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    I've decided to just strap it to the dyno and get it tuned rather than going the remote route since ultimately it would still need to see a dyno per most tuners statements. That will be getting done tomorrow. I will use my HP tuners so I can utilize my credits and we will use the wideband...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    All your help yesterday was greatly appreciated. I haven't wired it up to anything yet I'm undecided on what I want to do. They make a wideband that plugs into the OBD port for about $230 but I'm not sure I want to have to eat the cost of selling my new only idle time for less. The big thing is...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Update: truck is currently back together and running with the injector spacers and what appeared earlier to be no oil leak. Didn't let it run as long as usual earlier due to having the new injectors installed, wideband was reading extremely lean. Currently trying to get the tuning deal squared...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Yeah I'm definitely counting down the days until I can just cruise around in it and listen to it spool and take it to some of the local car get togethers. You guys are all a good group, way more helpful and positive than any others I've seen and I appreciate it. This is my first turbo V8 I've...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Doesn't appear so. My gauge still reads the same as it did before if I recall correctly. I was wondering the same prior to install but all appears normal.

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Appreciate the kind words as always. But yeah I'm hoping they work out as well with no leaks. I'm getting sick of wrenching because unfortunately most of the people I know just want to enjoy the final product of my headches and money, but have no interest in lending a hand, be it holding a light...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Ended up ordering a set of the adapter spacers hopefully everything will show up Friday or Saturday. If not then I guess I'll continue as I have been :emotions122:

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Ran into another dilemma while putting it back together. When swapping out injectors noticed that the LSA injectors are quite a bit shorter than my factory ones and with the factory rail setup they aren't going to work so I'm currently trying to decide which route I'm going to go.

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Just too keep you guys updated since y'all have kept me all going thru this process intake manifold and everything is off about to remove this T and try and get it sealed up for good.

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Nothing new as of now I'm supposed to start my remote tuning Friday or Saturday hopefully. I've still got a small oil leak that I'll hopefully be taking care of for good tomorrow by using thread sealer instead of teflon tape. By the end of this endeavor I'll know the ins and outs of a Tahoe lol...

    Another FNG...with questions naturally

    I personally would avoid Asia motors due to my experience. I purchased my Tahoe from their not expecting it to be perfect by any means but they definitely use pictures to their advantage for someone like me who bought it unseen since I live in VA. Arrived with holes that were covered with white...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Yep stock cam and currently injectors for start up and checking leak purposes. Exhaust is currently not connected it's just the downpipe and about a 3' section of pipe attached to that which puts it a little past the crossmember mid truck.

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Haven't really driven it. Noticed an oil leak after I fixed the exhaust leak earlier so I need to take care of that now. Also I need to decide whether I want to just run a T off my brake booster or buy a vaccum block for my line from my BOV. I hooked it to my intake manifold on a port and it...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Got it all squared away she finally runs. I've got to fix an exhaust leak that I was partially expecting but that's a small agenda at this point. Did some more troubleshooting and realized it wasn't getting fuel pressure to the rails. So I dropped the tank back down and realized the rubber hose...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    I've been slowly but surely running back over what I've touched in the process. Just sucks because not much needed to be disconnected or removed since it was pretty much just exhaust. So O2 sensors, rerouting heater core hoses, changing plugs, and the MAF sensor really. I'm sure it's something...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Yeah I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the battery a few times still no change with the CEL. My HP tuners is out for delivery today so I should be able to figure out what the light is for and work from there. When I finally got the little code reader to work it told me no DTC's so it...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    The MAF is on the charge pipe coming off the throttle body on the underside of the pipe almost in line with the alternator.

    Turbo Tahoe?

    It's currently still not running haha. Have a CEL and borrowed a friends code reader for it to say it's unable to connect to the vehicle. And of course my HP tuners hasn't arrived yet so I'm not sure what the code is for nor can I reset it. I've either got some hard code that's stopping it from...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    I system was primed for oil before I tried to start it made sure oil made a fuel cycle through the system and out the return line before I connected it to the oil pan. It does currently have a MAF sensor connected it's just not on top of that intercooler pipe and visible. And it is currently...

    Turbo Tahoe?

    Haha that thing saves me so much money when I actually have to drive to work and it handles like a go cart especially since I installed the coilovers on it. I've considered doing auto X with it but I don't need anymore costly projects. But I haven't really done to much troubleshooting to be...
