More X-1 Help

[ProRacerNorm]

Hey I have another question about the X-1 guys.....were does the 22mm socket go to turn the crankshaft, because I can't find a anything that a 22mm can go to...any help would be great....I gave up for the night but will be back at it tomorrow. I got the injectors, spark plugs, moved my trans cooler, and mounted the oil cooler for the supercharger instead since I couldn't figure out the cam gears.

Is your truck a manual? The right way to do it is to get a pulley removal tool that you can use as leverage to break loose that crank bolt. You'll need a good cheater bar too.

I am assuming he is needing to turn the crank to line up the timing marks on the cams. Not remove the crank pulley.
The socket goes on the crank bolt holding the crank pulley on. its easiest to remove the plugs so you're not working against the compression.

^ Oh I misread his post. Thanks for clarifying it. yeah, do what blackx-runner suggested. good luck with the cam gears!

that's dead on. Get those plugs out. Its much easier. The last time we installed the cam gears on my new motor, we did the "mark the chain" with a black marker. this way, we didn't have to mess with linin everything back up.

Put a 22 socket on the bolt of the pulley where the red line goes, that's the crank pulley and turn to rotate the gears. Like the others said, remove those plugs to make rotating easier.

Be sure before you remove the original cam gears that everything is in line! This is crucial or else you will lose the timing on your engine!

The picture below is the left APR cam gear installed (be sure you have the dowl pin in there!):

The next picture should give you a partial idea on how to align up the gears (follow the instructions, there are also numerous threads on how to do that correctly):

Good luck and most importantly take your time and if you are not sure stop the work and ask :top:

I cant get the marks to line up and i been at it for 4 hours.....anybody know if maybe the unichip i have changed the timing up or anything

The marks won't match up exactally. Get them as close as possible. IF you want assuance, call Gadget. URD TECH support. You can also go to the APR website for full instructions. Maybe something your not doing right.

hope this helps bro. I know G-man gets a ton of calls, but I always call him when I am not to sure or comfortable with something. Just me.....

 

[ProRacerNorm]

yeah i been trying to call him and get no answer......hopefully i can get it

 

[ProRacerNorm]

ok guys got the cam gears in x-1 in started and no problem.....went to slowly rev it up and it is bogging out at about 3000rpms anybody know why it might be doing this

 

[ProRacerNorm]

????anybody have a clue why this might be happening????

Do u have the thumb drive with the preloaded launch control plugged into the X-1? If u do this is the launch control at work.

Hopefully u got a hold of Gadget and he set u straight

 

[Gadget]

He is all fixed up now...

White touch up paint is great for this also.

How do you load a tune to the thumb drive? cant figure this out for the life of me.

Have you downloaded and read through the X-Tune manual form the APR website? It is all laid out in there.

The short version is you copy the new calibration onto the USB drive and then prefix it with X1.

It has to be the same basic calibration for it to load.

What you can't do is have a .03A calibration in your X-1 and try to load a .05 calibration from the USB.
