I was wrong but now we are getting somewhere!

[motorhead]

I know I could just bring it to someone and get the job done but I want the chance to wrench with my dad and have fun in the garage with my car.

Good.  A greater sense of accomplishment will come with this, a shared one.

While on the note of my injector swap is there a bolt or a valve to release the pressure in the rails?

Yes, the front of the rail on the driver's side.  It might still be under a cap - you are looking for a schrader valve like that on a tire valve stem; it can be screwed out just the same.

I know some of you don't get along but I think we should all just drop what happened and start being a happy Turbo Buick family again.

Buds we haven't been a "happy family" for years; but, I respect your enthusiasm.

Also a lot of the old guys that know all the Buick tech are getting old and its up to guys that really want to learn like Motorhead did to take over when you guys don't want to work on these cars anymore or cant.

God help us all if it is going to fall back on me to carry the torch.

I mean that with respect I feel I should learn and be able to keep these cars running as well as you guys have learnt to do. I don't want to be the guy that has to bring my car to a specialist.... . I want to be a specialist amongst you. And I still have along way to go!

Stick with it and you will.

PS. I changed my rear main seal years ago and it still leaks.

New injectors are installed and the BLMS are 128 across the board.    Didn't get a chance to take a test drive because the rain started coming down but the idle of the car is even smoother then before. Next project 3" terry Huston and 160 thermostat.

It really does help when the chip matches the injectors.

Yes ! it really dose. I took the car for a test tonight when the rain letup and the pavement was dry... What a difference the 02'w where perfect the BLM's are perfect the car hauled ass at 15 psi tomorrow I'm going to keep bringing the boost up In increments until I get to the goal of 23-24 psi..... I have fallen in love with her twice over. Also that tapping noise has seemed to disappear at least after my few blasts I took... starting to wonder if injectors where the cause. Tomorrow I will find out when it idles again but as of tonight that noise is no where to be found.
 
I cant wait for arm drop now .... last arm drop my car had big tuning problems now I'm ready to come play :}}}}}}}}}}}

You can not run 23-24 psi of boost without race gas or alky injection unless you want to do it once.

Alky is installed. My chip is also a alky chip

[Steve Wood]

okay, then you should be okay..just take it in small increments and be sure you are watching for timing retard.  If you see any, back off the boost until you figure out why it occurred.  As the boost comes up, the damage from detonation exponentially increases

[YGspider]

Only issue with the install is the old  Fuel Pressure Regulators crapped out on me as I now see it leaking I replaced the o ring but the leak still prosiest. I'm going to switch over to a Accufab Fuel Pressure Regulators.

Yes I bring my dad with me for each run to monitor my o2's and KR. Powerlogging is great but now I see why I should of got a Scanmaster to start. Oh well next season a Scanmaster is on my Christmas wish list.   

[Steve Wood]

yep....I use the sm mainly as a "Knock Alarm" watching the o2s and timing retard to know when something has changed.

I've never had a ScanMaster and I have never changed a head gasket.  Datalogging is just as effective as long as you are incremental in your increases... building a laptop stand helps too; as does having someone riding along - as you've already discovered.

Glad to hear the car is improving.

DON'T FORGET TO PRIME THE ALKY SYSTEM.
i made that mistake and my number six rod didn't forgive me for it.

This might be the best advice you get.

When you ordered your chip from Eric...what did you tell him your max PSI was gonna be. Erics sets his 02`s for what you tell him. With everything being equal...if you told him 23 PSI for example...then you should be able to go WOT with Julios alky kit on the default setting and Erics chip on the default setting...if your fuel system is up to it...and your engine is in good working order. Have you run a compression test on your engine...to check for even cylinder pressures.
