    Welcome to the exciting journey of #1CleanT, as we aim to achieve an 8-second 1/4 mile time! In this series, we'll take you behind the scenes and show you the ins and outs of transforming our car into a beast.
    In Part 1, we've made it to the Dyno session. DIY AutoTune installed their MS3 PRO System into our Turbo Buick, and we prepared to take it down the track at the 2024 GS Nationals.
    During our Dyno session, we found a CO2 boost control leak, which prevented us from taking it past Wastegate spring pressure without having boost stability throughout the curve.
    We will definitely continue this journey. Join us as we kick off this thrilling adventure and share our passion for turbo Buicks!
    🔧 Highlights of this episode:
    Tuning and testing w/ MS3 Pro's Buick Grand National Plug and Play Kit
    1st pass on the new build

    Why in the world would you not go Holly? Best tuning options for the 4L80 and the engine by far.

    So you stopped because you couldn’t get CO2 on the dyno? Say what? You can easily command more boost pressure on top of the wastegate thru your boost controller. CO2 just helps spool faster on the starting line. Please have experienced tuners/racers help you set this car up. Also in my opinion you are making a mistake turning this nice clean car into a race car removing AC and such. Find a high miles gbody.

      Thanks for your expert opinion.
      Here are a few questions for you:
      1️⃣ Would you personally invest time and resources into a tune, that's not going to be setup 🔎[exactly] how you want it?
      🙅🏽‍♂️ Not us!
      CO2 does more than just help on the starting line. It completely alters the spool up characteristics throughout the entire MAP. You can't tune a car with one pressure source (manifold) and then come back with another pressure source (CO2)and expect the tune to be spot on without any hiccups.
      Sure, you can keep going, hit the numbers, and find short term solutions. Best practice is to resolve the issue and schedule another Dyno session when everything is exactly how YOU, (the owner of the car) wants it to be.
      2️⃣ You are right... Based on what you temporarily see here, the AC lines have been removed.
      However, did you notice that the car has a brand new compressor? Perhaps, (just maybe) we have immediate plans to build custom AC lines.
      Thanks for your comment. Keep them rolling.

      Not following your logic. “If” that’s the case why would you not overnight parts to get what you need? Instead you drive to the Nats to run on wastegate? A tuneup and setup you will never run?

      ​@@AngeloRe-wo7iqthat's another great question.
      The plan wasn't to race the car this year. We simply wanted to bring the car and enjoy our Turbo Buick community.
      This was our priority for this year: ua-cam.com/video/zrHIrpEoob4/v-deo.htmlsi=CU_qVjKdvmQXzXE-

      ​@@wattsperformance Everybody in the GN community use this one race a year to show what they got. It's the super bowl for Buicks and to not plan to race there doesn't make any sense especially when you are building this car to compete against all those guys.

    Been watching your videos now for a while. I"m glad to see that you are trying to step up to the next level. I hope you guys can break into the 8's as it should not be hard for the changes you made. I know you are learning as you go to play at a high level and I have to ask you a question. Mega Squirt seems like a very interesting choice. I"m curious why did you went that route? I know several guys that switched from ECUGN to Holly because they had no transmission control and ECUGN is essentially Megasquirt. How are you controlling your 4L80?

  • @JeffReed-dl4vg
    @JeffReed-dl4vg Місяць тому +1

    I seen this car at BG last year, very nice clean car. Did you guys finally decide to ditch the methanol and switch to E85? E85 is far superior IMO, that's the only thing I didn't like about your old setup.
