DONE!!
So I finally finished this EGR DELETE, OIL COOLER REBUILD project after a week of working here and there!
Today I got everything hooked up and got ready for the moment of truth.
I refilled the coolant, and refilled the oil (rotella t-6) through the oil filter housing...also added archoil modifier.
Oh and while I was doing this stuff I also installed the blue spring upgrade and a coolant filter.
So I went to fire it up. After about two minutes of intermittent cranking it finally fired up! It was running rough and threw an ECT sensor failure code that I read through my scangauge.
No leaks and everything looked good, so I took it for a spin and came back. Still running rough and not registering ECT. Popped the hood. Noticed I forgot to plug in that sensor....DUH! ECT Problem fixed. Then I looked at all the injector sensor plugs. The one on the drivers side looked slightly not as flush as the others, so I reinstalled and reinstalled the retaining clip...fired it up again. It purrrrreeedd! Very nice. And I was getting full Boost! Im a happy camper (so far)!
Blue spring upgrade:
Before: 53PSI IDLE
46 WOT
AFTER: 65PSI IDLE
62 WOT
ECT/EOT Deltas
Before: 16 difference @ 80 temp outside during test run 8 difference putting around
After: 8 difference @ 85 temp outside during test run 2 difference putting around
Happy with it!
All of that messing with the turbo paid off I guess. Got about 29-30 boost after reinstall.
