VAM q's

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

Alright, what do you have to do to make the vam blow through? do you have to tweak the spring or do any internal work? This has been a nagging question of mine for a while now. Also can I run my Te computer with 35 pounders, or do I need a new computer? This is on a 84 svo.

Thanks Josh.

1. Yes and if not, you'd need a J3 tuner.
2. Not if it was originally for 30lb injectors. Again, that can be fixed with a J3 tuner or the right ECU. The LA series ECUs, however, are not completely plug-and-play.

There's an article on Turboford, in the FAQ's area, about converting to blow-through and I recommend you read that. You're supposed to do it while having a way to read your A/F ratios, but I don't have any way to do that so I did it a little "ghetto". Before putting the VAM in its new position, I tightened the spring 2 notches. My gas mileage got a little worse, so I figured it was running too rich, so I tightened it one more notch, and voila...I've had it at that ever since. Granted, though, I'm only running about 16-17 psi.
