Been watching your stuff forever, learned a lot thru you. Thanks! It would be pretty nice for us self tuned on the street guys to see plug reads thru the process of adding ignition. Seeing where it is on the strap vs advance and how much hp it picks up from those changes. Thanks again man, you’ve really helped me out over the course of my build
I used to have that innovate boost controller, couldn't stand it! Holley dual Mac valves the way to go 1000%. Wonder why he has terminator and didn't use holley boost control?
I put a 72/68 on my 5.3 winter beater and it makes boost before I can get the pedal to the floor. Joe no doubt knows this but one 'trick' with a single solenoid boost PWM controller is to add a 2nd solenoid to the top port of the gate (swap inlet & vent ports). I get 10psi with far less than 80% on a 4psi spring.
Nice run, definately had to work for it.... probably would be a good idea from now on to ask your clients to bring their car with a FULL tank of gas, or charge them accordingly if you have to put gas in due to lack thereof.
Very Cool. I have a 10.5:1 550hp BBC 427 with a carb but I want to switch to EFI. Should I do the Sniper 2 with the hyperspark w/ Tank or the Terminator stealth master kit? Sniper seems like a complete solution but the Terminator system seems to be your preference from a couple videos I watched. I'm not a drag racer, weekend autocross fun once a year and the rest cruising.
Whatvi have learned is that people seem to put their car together, with no testing and send it to the tuner. I dont expect them to drive around or make a bunch of power but at least have the basics done, no leaks(including boost)new plugs, everything connected, no loose wires, check fuel pumps, co2 bottles and couple cans of fuel.
The lack of boost is kind of odd. I was expecting to see you throw a manual controller on these just to sure the controller wasnt stuffing you about, but as you mentioned this thing has some pretty weird build parts. Does show what an effect an inefficient setup can have on output.
Something is restricting the hell out of the air flow either on the intake or exhaust side. Early in the RPM range the TQ is rising very fast, then stops cold and the HP just never seems to rise. It's being choked. Also, the cam is probably way to conservative and it's installed advanced. Dialing in the cam would help a little.
I've noticed when I start a turbo tune and back the timing off to 8 or 9 degrees in an effort to be safe, I see a bunch of extra boost than expected. I then chase my tail trying to figure out the overboosting issue...then I add timing back in after fueling is fully tuned and guess what, less boost lol.
Can't believe you would make shirts and not offer any with the designs from the T3 platform such as the spark plugs with faces and what not. Would be killer
Only so many hours in the day man. Getting there 😂 Always gotta test the waters before dumping 100,000 hours into something. If 3 people buy shirts than there isn’t enough demand to invest the time into making them. If a lot of people buy shirts than we will make 1000 variations
@JoeSimpsonAtTempest I totally get it brother man. Just thought I'd at least toss it out there. Not that I could possibly believe you haven't already thought of it. Love what you do man!
I have a question about the terminator x max I’m doing a 99 5.3 LS swap into a 99 s10 I’m running a turbo 400 trans but would like the option to later change to a 4l80 or a 4l60 can I use the terminator max and just not use trans control also my motor is drive by cable
I have a 5.3l th400 in my rcsb 2002 gmc I'm thinking of goin 80e with converter for my cam and my 80mm as I street drive 98% the time but when i did race it its good on 60ft but 80e idk what it the 60 would be but cheap trans brake 3d manuel and 2step on 80e throw holley

That was a fun one - had to work for it! THanks for the merch plug, got some gear on the way!
I have a built 6.0l with similar manifolds and a 69mm in my C10. It's an absolute blast to drive on the street. Instant tire smoke in any gear.
Ive never heard a centrifugal turbo before. Cool stuff 😂
I love your video editing. Top notch!
I enjoy your videos so much mate, you're a charismatic man and sharing some super interesting stuff. Thank you

Good job Joe. You earned that 500hp.
New follower, surprise you’re not up there yet, I’m sure it’s a matter of no time , good stuff 👍🏼
Appreciate it! I hear that a lot but growth always stays exactly the same haha 🤷♂️
keep these coming love the content. thank you
Love the shirt tape on haha
i like that beanie

Yea stiffer spring, 2 2 ports, or a 4 port would have helped a lot here. Or co2 haha
Man that fuel hand had me nervous!

Listened to you on sloppy radio show on Spotify
I saw another set of hub dynos in the background. Do you tune all wheel drive vehicles?
I have an Escalade in the works.

enjoyed this one, like you said its all about the fun, thats what maters !!!! also cracked up at the Dimond teeth !!!! hahahaha
Well thats a cool ride

That's the same goal I have for my 85 Monte.

Haha yea that is something to keep in mind for sure!
How much do u charge to tune
is it a stock 6.0 with no cam?
Nice sweatshirt
Joe Why does it look like that black valve next to the turbo is loose, time stamp: 18.53 seems to be moving around or is that just vibration?
Just vibration
What ever happened to TTT? Stuck at 122.
There is an entire second course in your account

So is it true that you cant jump start a terminator x powered vehicle, will it brick the ECU??
You can. Sometimes they do weird things when the voltage gets too low but that’s nearly any ecu
Was this on 93 pump gas? Man what a sleeper.
Yea 93 octane
Wow" I don't no jack, but I didn't think you could turn it up past around 7/8 on 93.
5.3 or 6.0? I might have missed it
305HO!!!! Haha I wish, I love my gbody!
I have a question about the terminator x max I’m doing a 99 5.3 LS swap into a 99 s10 I’m running a turbo 400 trans but would like the option to later change to a 4l80 or a 4l60 can I use the terminator max and just not use trans control also my motor is drive by cable

Yes you can use the x max and not use the trans control
Wasn't one of your: "Dyno tune Don'ts!"
- Dropping off a car with an empty tank??
Turns out it is just a faulty gauge. There was fuel in it haha
That turbo can't pull air when its face stuffed in the fender.. It just can't get more air though the tin..
Fuckin badass G Body!!! G Body gang boi!!!🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲💪💪💪💪
Shit. 10.60afr. You fully expect this dude to beat the shit out of this box. Needs a cam.
NOT FuelTech lol.
Hey Joe what is your email address. I want to know your rates for tuning. I'm in southern Pennsylvania
UH OH, "not Fuel Tech"😅
Stock motor
