The Blue Jays II: A Year and a Half in the Making

It was a cold Georgia day when the moment finally arrived, after a year and a half of struggles, for the Blue Jays II to come back to life. The team had faced numerous problems, but with the help of Pineapple Tuning and Mr. James, they were able to overcome the obstacles and make the car sound "absolutely huge." Mr. James was an amazing source of inspiration, as seen on his YouTube channel, which provided invaluable assistance in preparing the car for its return to life.

As the team began their journey, they made sure that everything was in order, including checking for any loose wires or connections. They also took the time to ensure that the boost controller was set to the correct pressure, which revealed a surprising finding: there was only 10 pounds of spring in the car. This was an important discovery, as it allowed the team to adjust the boost pressure and make further modifications.

One of the most significant challenges faced by the Blue Jays II was the issue with the fuel pump, which had been failing on them for some time. The coil packs were also deteriorating, but fortunately, they were ancient enough that this was not a major concern. However, the team decided to conduct an experiment to determine if the fuel pump was indeed the culprit behind the car's recent problems.

To do so, they created a poll and asked viewers to share their thoughts on how much boost pressure would be needed to solve the issue. The results were astonishing, with 412 horsepower being achieved when running the wastegate alone. This was an incredible feat, and the team was eager to see what would happen as the night went on.

As the temperature continued to drop, the team made adjustments to the boost controller, adding 1/8 of a turn to increase the pressure. The results were nothing short of remarkable, with the car producing 494 horsepower and exceeding the desired 500-horsepower mark. This was an incredible achievement, considering that only 400 foot-pounds of torque had been achieved just moments before.

The team was thrilled with the progress they had made, and it was clear that their hard work and dedication had paid off. The Blue Jays II was now sounding better than ever, and the team couldn't wait to take it for a spin and experience its full potential. As the sun began to set, the team reflected on the day's events, grateful for the support of their audience and looking forward to their next adventure.

The power of the Garrett 3071 R turbocharger was truly awe-inspiring, with its incredible sound and ability to deliver such impressive results. The team was thrilled to be working with this engine, and they knew that it would play a crucial role in helping them reach their goals. As they closed out the day's filming, the team couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation for what the future held.

Finally, as the day drew to a close, the Blue Jays II had achieved its goal of reaching 500 horsepower. The team was overjoyed, knowing that all their hard work and dedication had paid off. They took a moment to appreciate the car's performance, marveling at its smooth and healthy power curve. It was clear that this engine was special, and the team was grateful to have it as part of their project.

The experience had been a long and challenging one, but in the end, it had been worth it. The Blue Jays II was now back to life, sounding better than ever and ready for its next adventure. As the team packed up their gear and said their goodbyes, they couldn't wait to see what the future held for this incredible car.
