From knowing nothing to having a Thunderbird supercharger on an m20b27i

It is less tough when you use somebody else's tune that idles properly with injectors nearly 2.5x as large as stock.

You do want 2.5x the hp of stock, right?

I dont know this seller but it was a quick search: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Green-Giant-...-/300997245075

I was maxxing out my duty cycle with 30lbs at 12psi just to warn you, its worth them a bit bigger.

Got it. I'll look for 40somethings.

Sounds like 36's would work fine for you.

Dialing in injector dead time is tough, and it's tougher with larger injectors.

So here's the thing. My "blue" top 24.5 lbs injectors turned out to be green tops that the yellow tint had faded out of. So they were just 15lbers out of a m50. Glad I didn't use those.

So I now will have to buy injectors, and since I'm buying them I'll go ahead and shoot for some 30+lbers so I won't have to buy another set when I pulley up. I'll go to pull a part on Sunday and see if I can score a set.

So, a slight delay it appears. Damn I was so happy last night when she started. Now I gotta wait some more. It'll be worth it.

do you still live in Girdwood? I lived in Anchorage for like 9 years.

No, I'm in TN now. I was in Girdwood from 2000 -2003. I still have friends up there that I go visit now and then, but that's it.

Standard atmospheric pressure is 29.92" Hg and 14.7 psi.

Thank you sir. On the blue rtv, no idea. But I learned it couldn't take 18 in/hg while still wet…

I hope it can hold something in the neighborhood of 7-8psi while dry. While we're on the subject, does anyone know if the in/hg number is equivalent to the psi number or higher force or lower force? In other words, is 15 in/hg the opposite of 15psi?

Thanks for your input...

You're welcome !

Congrats on getting it lit, now the fun starts. Start your tuning cautiously, especially since this is your first rodeo.

What do you reckon the PSI rating of blue rtv is ?

Oh yeah, also, the o2 sensor is not installed yet. That is what is causing that huge exhaust "leak" in the video. Werd.
