Holley Terminator X Dyno Tuning \\ Whipple Blower G Body

[@SloppyMechanics]

its nice for people to see all of what goes into this, so that they can get ahead of it, hopefully.

[@rjinator7447]

I don't know. I feel like Joe could post 200 of theses videos and people will still show up to the dyno with the fuel pump not wired up, 100 vacuum leaks and 1 head that forget to get torqued down.

[@kyleorsak]

i dont understand how people bring their cars to a dyno and dont check over it several times to make sure everything is tight, hooked up and all things are functional. thats just insane to me. keep up the great videos Joe.

[@fordhoarder]

Thanks for taking the time for making so many videos lately. You have the best Holley EFI info on KZbin.

[@turboman351w3]

IAM SO LUCKY TO HAVE A TUNE BY YOU, OUTSTANDING WORK JOE

[@rizzoid]

Did we see your car in one of the videos? That'd be pretty cool if we did.

[@turboman351w3]

@@rizzoid unfortunately no I was present for the day he tuned my car so I can help him out with taking plugs out and small things to make his life easier when tunning the car

[@MaximumJEFFort]

You've been doing a TON of videos lately! Must not be sleeping much 🤣 Excited to hear the specifics about your "Tune the Trilogy" course. Heard you talking about it with Devin and Matt and was excited to see a link in your last video!

[@WhiteTrashMotorsports]

Turbo>blower you said it man and I have agree, thanks for the videos.

[@ratrod715]

Joe the dream killer Simpson

[@teacherm96]

I learned something new today 😌 Thanks

[@219streetcars4]

Always great Content from Joe Look on the bright side least there was no dirt bikes or ATVs lol

[@DG-ox6bg]

Loving the content lately 👌 Thankyou

[@turbotysen]

good job on the videos lately man👍🏼👍🏼 maybe at the beginning of the videos u could give a run down on the details of the setup, like fuel system details, engine specs and stuff like that.

[@stephenmitchell3569]

Truthful and professional common sense! Rare these days and information shared with viewers 👍! Thank You for Sharing. July BluePrint 540 power adder to be deliver. C-3 corvette choice and where to put the junk is a fun puzzle. On a 496 been running dual nos system. But twin turbos I have never run. 10-71 I have run but would like to see where I am going...lol!😀🇺🇸 So hmmm on another 10-71 w/ intercooler.

[@andretorben2813]

From Sydney, Australia. I've been looking at replacing my old EFI system with a new ECU. After watching your videos plus a bunch of reading specs and downloading the Holley software I've ordered a Terminator X Max. I love your video's. Could you do one showing what the typical offset values for fuel/ignition V's water/air temperature are. I would expect these would not change much between tunes ?

[@xozindustries7451]

What is the roll cage in that car tied into? Just the floor or the frame? It seems like the chassis is twisting a lot opening the doors, I had that problem on my Monte Carlo with a Pontiac 400, it ripped the passenger side striker out of the door frame

[@jamieK111]

I had my O2 sensor a few inches from an H pipe joint I hadn't welded all the way around. Could not get it to idle. Switched to long, open extension with some length past the sensor to tune it - cleared right up. Would not have thought it could make that much difference

[@finlay230]

outright nasty car, love it !!!! infact i think that's my fav car you've dynoed yet !!!!

[@brandiblue2708]

Man i wish you were in Sacramento ca i really need your help with my whipple ls376 4l80e holley dominator

[@xozindustries7451]

Are you sure that the throttle is opening the entire way from the pedal? Superchargers can’t have any inlet air restrictions.

[@sunzoutgunzout8887]

Is it pulling timing on the data log? That much iat it should also be pulling more timing then you took lol

[@davidstrickler5821]

Thanks can you go over building from scratch a fuel table

[@robinwendt5527]

I never understand why you spend all that money to put a cheap air intake on and suck warm air from the engine bay. I like that you take the time to try making everything work right even if the customer is not totally prepared...I mean u could just give up and tell them things aren't ready for the dyno and move on but you take ur time and really work on it....I like that

[@jerrycann6374]

From what I saw when you were under the car the C channels on the frame were not boxed = doors popping open. First thing I did with my 86 Grand Prix was to remove the frame, upgrade the crappy factory welds and box the C channel. I used the help build circle track cars so with that knowledge my G body is set up to handle. I only have a little over 400 hp with a 5 speed stick pushed by 355 SBC roller but it's just my toy for the summer. I have the Sniper and if I was close to you I'd book some hours so you could tweak it. Your videos really help me understand the system so I really appreciate the time you take to put these videos together.

[@rizzoid]

Sounds reasonable to me. I'm having issues with the doors on my unboxed S-15. Surprising how weak they really are.

[@jerrycann6374]

@@rizzoid way back when we raced G bodies in circle track. With the body and suspension off you can take a rear rail and lift that rail about 8" before the other rail moves. The other thing is voids in the factory welding.

[@joshmiller8663]

Where's your shop located.

[@andrewwhalen25]

Another great video. Jesus people need to go over their cars before they take em to get dyno’d.

[@trlprk]

I know, I’d be embarrassed if I showed up with all the issues I see on the channel. That thing was clapped

[@nfamoussbf37]

I watch these vids and cringe on what people bring to Joe…

[@TheAkstewie]

Do you remote tune?

[@TravisCrouch72]

👍👍

[@nosnerd1967]

ATI OD damper ?

[@frankconte5545]

@Joe Simpson how 'bout a hint on what's doing with that *other* G Body (Cutty) in this video at 0:38 ?

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

There is a video on that one a few videos back

[@frankconte5545]

@@JoeSimpsonAtTempest I've looked around your channel, and searched Olds, Cutlass, GBody, etc, wasn't able to find anything but I'll look again. I've been sub'ed but don't always get the notifications on YT for some reason. Thanks for replying and for doing these video series on the Holley EFI products, besides being so informative they're a hoot as well with your editing and special effects!! 👍

[@deadendgarage5401]

Where are you located?

[@karenashcraft8812]

its making 1000hp at the crank. or very close to it

[@bigfoot355]

Lol this is great

[@rodneygodin7773]

Question on tps on sniper, is it normal that at wot the tps only goes to 89%, it’s wide open at tbi still reads 89%?

[@yarrdayarrdayarrda]

Have you opened it manually at the throttle body? It's likely you aren't getting enough travel through your throttle. Did you purchase the throttle extension for the sniper? I find the pedal effort really high and sensitive until I stumbled across it. Holly PN 20-16.

[@rodneygodin7773]

I have I grabbed it and goes to 89%, I researched it & says it good on snipers, it doesn’t go 100%, but I got a stumble down low, and now I’m guessing I was adjusting exceleration enrichment in wrong tps %

[@yarrdayarrdayarrda]

@@rodneygodin7773 Could be. Set up a custom gauge on your controller with a tach, TPS, Air/fuel and go for a drive (or better yet start a data log) and monitor what conditions happen when it stumbles. Just keep in mind there will be a small delay from the issue to when the O2 shows it. Good luck!!

[@robinwendt5527]

He can add e85 and throw more timing in it

[@cristianbustos4918]

we are you located at ? i have a car on fuel tech ft550 ls

[@rizzoid]

Pretty sure he's in Waldorf, Maryland.

[@motoweenies4431]

i dont think he touches fueltech, you could email him tho

[@nosnerd1967]

800/1000 is pretty decent

[@motoweenies4431]

Not sure its a good idea for a car that opens the doors on a 800hp pull to have almost double that.... lmao

[@701garage]

That roll cage scares me.

[@trlprk]

The foil tape on the windshield is a nice touch

[@nsboost]

Well.. I mean.. no boost reference on the reg will work.. it just ain’t right. End up with kind of a screwy fuel table and you run out of injector a lot faster.

[@JoeSimpsonAtTempest]

It would have maxed the injectors out at like 4k rpm. I’d consider that not working

[@nsboost]

@@JoeSimpsonAtTempest I was just stating that it can work lol. Idk why anyone would ever not hook it up but it can work with enough injector. Does this customer own or has he owned anything with the kinda power he thinks he wants? That thing with doors flying open and all that is gunna be terrifying with 1000+ ft lbs of torque 😂 Needs to spend a little time on the chassis before he goes hunting for more power!

[@michaelallen2501]

Twin screw/roots guys are an interesting breed. They'll spend twice as much money to go slower than a turbo build before they'll admit its not the best power adder lol. "bUt tOp fUeL bLaH bLaH bLaH".

[@motoweenies4431]

I think theyre cool for burnout cars, autocross cars, or drifting. Instant torque is nice

[@michaelallen2501]

@@motoweenies4431 they're good for burnouts. Belt systems hate the on/off throttle of drifting.
