First time at track...EMS on "stock" evo w/ issues
hey guys, just dropping a line regarding the EMS:
I got within 1mph of my prevoius best trap speed on the first day out with the EMS:
stock ecu/AFC/ 21psi/116 racegas 108.9mph
EMS/18psi/93pumpgas 107.8mph today slow 12.72 ET 1.68
I haven't ever had the car on the dyno, and having been tuning it myself on the street when I have a chance. Using boost/comp method.
The tuning isn't all right yet, I had some knock sensor activity and timing retard, an odd IDC spike issue, and the throttle/load accell I can't seem to tune out going into each gear. I woudn't be suprised to see the car crack 110-111mph on racegas once the issues are worked out.
Car has for mods:
ACT clutch
VRS 3" turboback
2.5" cold air intake...filter is where the ic sprayer bottle was.
HBC ES MBC, autometer boost gauge
EMS, 3.5bar, AIT, AEM WB gauge
Anyway, reason for the post is just to say that Im very happy with the EMS and that is can be tuned on the street to work atleast as well as the stock ecu very quickly. I have maybe 4 hours total time tuning on the street at sane speeds on backroads and interstate highway. The car got 260miles to the last tank with 02 FB enabled.
