2018 Royal Crimson F1A94 Procharged, TH400 Drag Project

I ordered from ATP Turbo and had them throw in the 1.5" non-weld adapter.

Here's a link to just the adapter from MA Performance:

Changed out the procharger oil while I was at it. First engine oil change tmrw morning. After that I'll finish the bumper and test drive to verify boost achievement! Exciting stuff.

Unfortunately, no change. I resolved the slipped coupler and got it all back together just to hit 4 psi again.

Not a clue what the problem is now.. my checklist is complete..

I think I will order a cheap tried and true analog boost gauge and measure against the boost box.

The nonsense continues.

Thats a bummer! Maybe the PCV plug behind your throttle body came loose? Any chance you are getting belt slip? Curious if something like that can be diagnosed by looking at your logs?

I just went back out and double checked all couplers, vac lines, pcv connections, and boost box settings and routing. All are good. I am positive there is no belt slip, I retensioned the belt and there are no signs of wear.

I'd like this to be more obvious than it is. I'm going to try a boost gauge I guess.

If anyone wants to look at the latest log, here's one from today.

Picked up a boost gauge and bam! only 2 psi. I checked all the vac lines. I'm getting thoroughly confused and admittedly, pissed off

Time to park it for the day.

Going back to the old school days, ordered a boost leak tester from MPx. I'll get this sorted eventually.

Since I took a break from the engine bay, I was checking out craigslist and found a 2018 GT350r owner selling his rear seat delete...and so $300 later - it still needs vacuumed:

Modern performance? Srt4 days?

Exactly!

Nice build and keep us posted on the leak. You’ll find it.

 

[turnswrench]

The long tubes are here. Going to suck staring at those while I gather more parts before I get a tune.

Oh well, one step closer

Here is my 4th and last one. Bought it back in 2012 with 5,000 miles. Came with stage 3 w/toys and Mopar coilovers.

One of the best cars I had. Reliable, fast and good on gas.

Very nice sir! I had a few neons as well, tons of fun for sure. This is actually my first v8 and rwd project (outside of Jeeps)
