I was planing on doing it myself with GRNENVY(nick) but my heads and cam install is not done, so I will just let the shop do it. But for this I plan on helping, if they don't mind.
Very cool Fast, and congratulations.

THere is a MAP sensor that is vacuum fed. It runs to the unichip.They machined a throttle body spacer where you connect it to, also the BOV (blow off valve) connects to it. It has an extra hole for some happy gas:D . TH

I think it's a better choice than your 1st, IMO. There will be more torque than the law should allow!!!-- Your not spooling a turbo-no big exhaust lifts needed, plus I think the stock shortblock will survive a little longer with the added combustion chamber pressures. From my understanding,the prototype Jeep was running a 268 and B&G II, so we know the kit(tuning&psi) works well around those lifts/durations and overlaps.

Thanks, good info as usual!!
I think I will drop the pulley size. I am going to loose some PSI from the heads so my thinking is Up the boost, one to get more boost down low, two to compensate for the PnP heads, and control the max boost through the BOV. BAD IDEA OR GOOD?
GRNENVY 05-24-2007, 07:34 PM A nice non slip polished Billet Flow blower pulley would look awesome with all the shiny parts.
I have seen 1-2 psi boost drop from long tubes but not from heads being ported. Boost is a measurement of back pressure. The blower is set to spin off of pulley size so the setup on your truck may read less then it would on mine but your still getting the same amount of air/volume. I'm hoping this cam is awesome (overlap) I can't wait for this truck to be finished.

If it's DR's standard P&P(not heavily working the bowl area),you will not even notice. I think with that cam, you will not need any more down low. Play with it a while, before you jack the boost up.
GRNENVY 05-24-2007, 07:48 PM I have seen more cams not work out in blower cars then you could imagine especially in low boost aplications. Then the guys start jacking up the boost to make up for the pwr loss. I don't want to sound negative just hoping for great results.

Crank 05-24-2007, 11:35 PM all I have to say is WOW. Very nice
GRNENVY 05-25-2007, 05:08 AM Cars that run a mass air flow sensor need to recycle the excess pressure from the BOV.
They have to meter all the air or drivabilty would suffer and likely stall out.
The setup that FAST got with the supercharger runs a map sensor hooked to manifold pressure. There using the map sensor to control the rate of fuel needed per pound of boost air/fuel. This is the cheapest way to go unless you were to run a fast system or go with a metered type system. I would have rather seen a metered type system go on just like the kit ford offered for the 5.0 mustang back in 1987-1988. Ford and GM use air meters on all there performance vehicals. Being it's a Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor system it's going to be tough to tune for added mods and pwr increase unless they did the tables already in the UNI. Now they need to have a hand help that piggies this system for on the fly tuning. Kinda like the PMS that is offered for the stang.
If this kit was offered with a meter it could have been tuned by SCT or Diablo which would be much easier when making changes.

Mine goes to the atmosphere. You can have it set up so it is recycled, but i wanted it like this, you can hear the blow off alot better. And i have never had one problem with stalling or anything. I'm not a "ricer" or anything like that i just love the sound of the BOV with the short ram intake.

Jeff
FastSRT8GC 06-01-2007, 05:39 PM Yep, Here are my thoughts
With the standard kit 5-6psi
With the P&P heads and Headers 3-4psi
So if the air/fuel is good on the dyno I will order two new pulleys. A 6-8 and a 8-10. I will adjust the wastegate to keep the boost under control and the A/F on target... WHAT CHA THINK??
A little more power and it should kick in earlier!

Well that all depends on what grind the cam is, and where the start of the engines "sweet spot" is (my term and not a engineering phrase)
One area I never see on these boards with dealing with Forced Induction on these engines and the lack of fuel flow with the demands of forced induction, and the lack of true tuning at this point.
If the fuel pressure was increased with a bigger fuel pump. This is the Aeromotive 1000HP flow pump I use
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/newpicAug1006029.jpg
And then using a boost referenced fuel pressure regulator (like this one from Aeromotive that I run on the 6-71)
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c96/Blown7/newpicAug1006143.jpg
The reason for this is the injector pulse width tuning on the GC can't be done. So if you can't increase the pulse width, increase the fuel rail pressure and still do the same thing.
In my case under full boost the 40 LB injectors (with 16 of them) I can't increase the pulse width anymore without screwing up the duty cycle of the injectors so I just pour more fuel in by increasing the fuel rail pressure.
I'm surprised no one hasn't done that yet with the 6.1's yet.

Chris,
Are you dropping the static C/R with thicker head gaskets, or using race gas? 10psi on the stock bottom end is going to be hairy.
FastSRT8GC 06-01-2007, 07:35 PM We have this planed already... GOOD CALL. Like I stated everything will be dependant on the A/F. I know these things are pig rich in a normal situation. So if i can find a place to put a FP gauge so i can see how it acts we will be set. Get a kenny bell boost a pump http://www.kennebell.net/accessories/boostapump/boostapump.htm
with an in cabin controler and a good A/F meter, boost gauge, we should be reliable as all get out!
FastSRT8GC 06-01-2007, 07:53 PM Chris,
Are you dropping the static C/R with thicker head gaskets, or using race gas? 10psi on the stock bottom end is going to be hairy.
I have a cometic gasket, largest we could get. I will run 93oct all the time. I have to search for a good place to purchase totoluine to up the oct. I dont plan on running 10psi. I will blow off a good amount of that psi. This will all be a test. It may be so sick that i will leave it as is.....HAHAHAHA:D
Really, this will be a few months process. It has been 2 months since i even sat in the dam thing. I would love to woop some people before it blow it up. I will see how the UNICHIP does with adjusting fuel. If it does a good job down at 3-4 then I will bump up to 5-8 or so, using the waste gate as my controler.
If i need to add the boost a pump i will. But i need to get this S/C paid before i start going crazy again!
Blown7 06-02-2007, 04:29 AM I myself, if I was on the cutting edge of boosting the 6.1 as you are, would invest in a good 8 channel EGT indicator rather than a A/F meter.

OK, were can i get this stuff locally?
As far as the EGT gauges, the 8 way, the only one i found was almost 1k.
I think for me this might be a bit overkill. A good wideband should work maybe even two, right and left bank.

Getting two decent widebands will put you at just about $800. A combination of 4 cylinders on a wideband will not pinpoint a lean cylinder thats about to melt. For instance: you can have one piston at 1650F and the other three at 1540F. Thats an average heat of 1568F. That does not set off any alarms on that bank, but sure enough the piston at 1650F is prob going to melt, break a piston land, and trash your motor.
If you read the thread I provided above, you can see that the some years of WRX are having piston failure on #4, us Ford modular guys are having failures with piston #8. This is due to high ET's. Keep in mind that is after having a dialed in "safe" AF.
I have asked many people about monitoring EGT's, and they always say its not necessary, that AF is plenty, this is not a Dragster etc etc, with that said, motors are still failing. So I have reached my personal educated conclusion that I will now monitor EGT at each cylinder, and work around a cooling solution on #8, in my case.
From the results of the above thread you will also see that freeing up exhaust really helps reduce EGT's. Who knows, I might have the pleasant surprise to find out that my EGT's are fine across the board due to my particular combination of mods. But I sure wouldn't want to find out the hard way if im not!!!
BUT these Hemi motors might not have any history of having a "common failure" on a particular piston(s) that usually points to the same piston(s) when these motors fail. But if you grab information on say 100 motors that have failed, and the common denominator of that failure on those motors is say cylinder #6, I would seriously think about using an EGT gauge.
Either way, monitoring each individual cylinders ET can only do good, its a far better way to keep your engine in check over the "broad" AF method..
Or you could do the old style method, go WOT and turn off the motor, take out the plugs and read them.... ill pass on that method!!
I would like to hear your opinion on this subject Gotstroke.
awdrocks 06-02-2007, 02:17 PM The STR8 under N/A conditions is not really what im geared at, im gearing the importance of EGT's on higher boost applications.
FastSRT8GC 06-02-2007, 02:56 PM In the beginning i will not be pushing the crap out of the motor. As i do start to reach the limits of the bottom end I will start closley monitoring these things. And this 8 EGT setup looks good. At this time my steps will be...
test the stock kits A/F
run for some time left alone
check compression and plugs
up the boost and add alcohol
Dyno test again
make any fuel adjustments for added boost i.e. boostapump FPR etc.
If i feel the A/F is in a safe enough range to push for a few months i will
If not back down on the boost a bit and start to monitor each cyl.
After all cyl's are hooked up with egt's start pushing again.
BLOWN7 do you have a good connection for any of these fuel and egt products?
Blown7 06-02-2007, 04:31 PM I have used this one in the past it's good.

However now I am a dealer for aircraft indicating systems and I have this one in the CJ, (and in my Cessna 182) it's aircraft certified so it's more expensive but it gives me real time with lights and buzzer and the ability to read real time graphing and data

I can sell this one for $1200 and change.
As AWD said and again I reiterate you just gotta keep a eagle eye on the individual cylinder EGT's.
Take for instance my 6-71, the front cylinders will run leaner than the back four just because of the design of the Roots (and where my injectors are placed) and where it delivers the high pressure air first.
Now as I understand it the manifold on the 6.1 has a condition by its very design causes the front cylinders to go lean with auxiliary injectors. I myself have not seen the inside to know for certain what is going on.......just what I read.
My understanding of your system is you will just be using the original injectors? And a dry manifold?
Jeff
Blown7 06-02-2007, 04:36 PM On a side note, if the engine is run lean below 65 percent power you won't hurt it at all, no way no how. It's the 65 percent and above that if the engines does start going lean will blowtorch the inside.

It can do a max of 7 cylinders right? Using the last temp bar as an EGT. I like it. If it can do eight I might have to pick one up. Well I can always keep the most commonly colder cylinder out of the loop.
I love the extra bells and whistles, especially with something that important.

You are 100% correct. If i have the chance while i am putting the TB spacer on I will take some photos of why there is a problem. With this kit you replace all injectors with larger ones, Not sure what their flow is. But i think they are ford, blue units. They are a bit taller than stock so supplied spacers are used to raise the fuel rail. With the GS kit using the AUX injector there has been problems because of this intake design you speak of. The ASM kit on the other hand should not have any problems what so ever. 8 Larger injectors, Piggy back PCM, boost dependent MAP sensor on the piggy back.

No you can input 16 channels. In the CJ I use 4 EGT and four CHT (cylinder head temperature )channels for the engine. This way I can have a temperature warning for each bank being the highest and can graph each side agaist the other. Then I use 7 more channels for OAT, Oil Temp engine, Oil temp tranny, oil temp tranny cooler, coolant temp engine, coolant temp radiator and power steering fluid temp. I still haven't figured out what more temps I need with the extra channel :confused:

You could always monitor YOUR temp, will help prevent roadrage!!!
Thats a lot of readings. Did you install a LCD to watch all these real time?

The UBG-16 will give you all the readings real time by graph or digital readout. Just by pushing a button. Or at a later date download via a 232 port, sit at your table have your favorite drink and review the data.

I likey... hehe, you sound as crazy as me. I have 9 gauges so far!!!
motor water temp
intercooler inlet water temp
intercooler outlet water temp
tranny temp
motor oil temp
boost
oil pressure
A/F
volts
And all in hands reach I have controllers and toggle switches to control a few gaggets like
meth controller
KB BP
off/on switch for meth
off/on switch for aux rad fan
off/on switch for alternator :eek:
off/on switch for electric water pump
off/on switch for electric water pump for intercooler
off/on switch for rear H/E fan for SC
All my friends say you need a pilots license to drive it... lol
Incase your wondering why so many off/on switches. Well I can have the motor turned off and cool ALL my liquids at once, or cool only what needs cooling individually.
Hmmm... now I can use these 16 channels to monitor eight EGT's and eight CHT's. Exciting!!!
FastSRT8GC 06-06-2007, 06:23 PM Well after two months of craziness the Jeep is ready to be turned over tomorrow. They will fire her up and inspect everything. Then on Friday we will hit the dyno. I am not expecting great #'s since it's 90 here and 90% humidity. YUCK!! So i am hoping i at least clear 450HP. Praying for 500. Video and Photos to come soon.
Crank 06-06-2007, 06:28 PM I know you been real anxious but so have we. nice work can't wait to see them pics and see some numbers.

Awesome fast. Very excited to see how it all turns out. Don't worry, it will all be worth it ;)

Happy for ya, Chris. It's been a long time coming, huh? Hope all goes well and as anticipated. Should be a beast.
I'm in town for a while, and if you need a lift, or help with anything, pm me. Sleep well tonight. :D

I only have 4 gauges:
1. Boost gauge
2. Pyrometer/EGT gauge
3. Bottle Pressure(nitrous)
4. Air/Fuel gauge(wideband)
Now I am going to have to go out and buy some more gauges to keep up, lol.
So what happened? Does it work? Does it run?
GotStroke? 06-08-2007, 07:46 PM Awesome Chris, best of luck!
