That definitely could be it. I remember reading over on club4g that unplugging the battery to reset it was a must which is why I made sure I did it that way.

My car does have a hard time relearning when resetting the ecu before I even had the tb. It would stall when making a turn and coming to a stop at the same time if it was still in learning mode. Takes about 250 miles to get that to go away.

 

I haven't had a single issue with mine. I do tend to get a whistle noise at a certain pressure of the gas pedal, but it doesn't bug me. No codes and has run fine for 3+ months. Here is a current list of my engine mods...

RRM SRI
RRM Timming Control Box
RRM UD Pulley
RRM Piggyback
PPI Ported Intake Manifold
63mm TB w/GT Fabrications Thermal Gasket
Grounding Kit & Voltage Stabilizer

When the SIR intake, TB, intake manifold, UD pulley, timming control box, and piggyback...I always disconnected the battery for the re-learn.

Thanks,
Eric

 

maybe its the combination your of mods vs his mods...?
according to the mods list on both your sigs hes got mostly exhaust mods...and the UDP...where u have the piggyback AND the timing box, along with the P&P IM...i bet if you didnt have the piggy back ud probably have trouble idling for a while as it learns what to do with all that extra air..

relearning shouldnt take more than about 10-15 miles or so....or ussually its good to go if u let it idle for about 15 mins...(generally speaking across all car brands that is...at least in my experience)
do u have the piggyback..?...
if u dont maybe the piggyback tune has a bit more ability to compensate..?..it IS basically a tune in a box...

 

piggyback only works at WOT so it shouldn't matter at idle to my knowledge. i dont think the timing box would cause it to stall. it would just cause his car to knock like crazy i would think if anything

 

No piggy/timing box here. Some smog shops told me they won't do a smog check unless I drove at least 150 miles after resetting the ECU. That's why I figured it takes that long to re-learn. That and the fact that I usually notice the stalling goes away after 100+ miles.

I have a Delta cam going in soon, after that I will be going for the hackish reflash. Hopefully that solves the stalling issue, sucks to be dreading resetting my ECU lol.

But back on topic, it works!! No issues here and I kinda dig the hissing noise it makes.

 

I don't have a piggy. I have a SRI, Catback, Timing Box, and then I put my throttle body on and had no issues. I haven't put my UDP on yet, I'm waiting to do my timing belt at the same time. So with that said, we almost have the same setup, minus the header and UDP as of now. So im not sure why his was doing that.

 

+1, When i raced an 04 eclipse gt, afterwards, he goes not fair your turbo! and I said you wanna check under the hood, if I am you can have my car lol, he was very surprised when there was no turbo.

 

Yeah I've always like the whistling sound. I've heard it on a car without the ported intake manifold, mine is a bit more pronounced with it. Once I install the ported and polished head it should bump
it up a bit more.

 

so i just got my TB today. thing is the dirtiest damn thing i have ever seen. any tips on what/how to clean it? what SHOULDN'T i hit w/ water on this thing and what is okay to blast with cleaner?

 

I just used a toothbrush with warm water and just scrubbed for awhile. I didn't put the whole thing under water tho, I just filled a glass with hot water and dipped the brush in, then scrubbed.

 

pretty much the same thing I did except I had to use a brass brush for some parts.

 

Seafoam Deep Creep, a nice set of cleaning brushes and some time. Let the Deep Creep sit on the carbon areas. I also taped up the plug just to be safe.

 

I've had the 63mm TB on my ride for about 2 months now. No problems at all. I also put a CAI on at the same time. The response on the new TB is definitely is quicker. My whole set up is pretty nice to drive and I really like driving my car. Nothing over the top just a few tweaks and it makes all the difference in the world.

Drive Train mods;
RRM UDP
RRM Timing Box
AEM CAI
Blox solid Roll Stop
63mm TB

Suspension;
Eibach Pro Kit springs
Drag wheels 17"

 

I bought this TB cleaner from the company that makes the maf cleaner. Ill just spray it on tmrw and see what happens after I scrub it. I think I got a old toothbrush laying around somewhere

Couldn't find the Deep Creep at autozone

 

so i sprayed it down with the cleaner which did a pretty alright job. after the install and learning period either the car definitely is faster or its just my butt dyno but i feel like it really did something
