Not a problem. I will try to get that HKS unit on the way there. I dont think it's that hard to hook up. Part throttle tuning is aso needed. Idle is actually not that bad. It's just rough when the car is cold (closed loop). Got the deposit to you anyhow so I can take that last slot. I will probably be there about 3pm or so since it's a bit of a drive heh. I just need the address now.

The part throttle crap I get is sudden jumps to lean conditions under higher loads (gears) at lower speeds. As long as I keep the revs above 2k or so it seems to be ok though. I'm not super picky so don't worry. If you can improve it that works for me. That boost cut in 5th gear is a big one though.

 

As long as it idles well then its very easy to tune the rest - depending on your set up sometimes the GT35 wheel creates a pulsation from the compressor wheel which makes turbulence in the MAF sesnor signal

If it idels decently now - it will be much better after I tune it

The partial throttle and driveability stuff will be easy as will the full throttle

You have a stock bottom end and you are on pump gas no ??? (If so 420 - 430 whp is a good safe goal and is easily obtaiable with the flash)

 

Yea I'm on the stock bottom and top end and run pump. I'll give you a ring tommorrow as you requested in the PM.

 

PS - smiley - do you have the aem wideband set up hooked up with your AEM >? Tnanks AL

 

ATTENTION

Everyone attending

Some good points for making things go easier

1 - Payment of your balance due (if any) is either cash or pay pal it by Thursday of this week

2- EVERYONE - make SURE you have a rear o2 sesnor bung FLUSH to your rear exhuast pipe - NO extender bungs or tubes (we need this to hook up your wide band)

3 - try and get your fuel at one of the major gas companies and in a newer station (nothing worse than showing up for a tune with el cheapo discount gas you found at some highway rest stop)

4 - Recomended to change your plugs if they have a lot of miles of them - I recomend the NGK BR7ES which are less than $2.00 each at most auto zones, etc

5 - Route all boost controllers OFF the turbo discharge nipple - NOT the bov line

6 - Try to avoid T'ing any vacume source off the lines to the fuel pressure regulator - (dangerous)

7 - check your oil level and tire pressures

8 - have fun - watch, learn about tuning - observe the wide band and ign logs, ask questions !

See you all Sat

 

Fre: I sent you a PM with my address!! Hope to see you Saturday.

Anyone who need address to my house, please PM me.

Brian

 

1) Money on the way on Thursday...
4) I'm gonna bring new plugs with me. I'm way overdue at 30K. Can someone bring a gap tool? What gap should the plugs be set at? I've seen .26, .28,...

See you all in the am.

 

Anyone going this weekend from the raliegh, durham or east of greensboro. was wondering if you all wanted to meet up in greensboro and ride down as a group. i have directions from turbodawg!! i live right off of I-40. anyone that is going send me a PM if you want to ride down.

 

We're looking forward to the pit stop in DC

 

I won't be there until around 3p.m., but I have a gapper... you can buy one for like a buck. gap to .28.

 

Al trying to get ahold of you but your phone doesn't like to be found by my company I guess. If I can't get ahold of you just ask me any remaining questions over this forum.

 

i'm an existing customer...shouldn't mine be balance of 25???? or did i miss something

 

You are right Dave. He must have forgotten that you were an existing customer. You just want a mail in tune upgrade for you new parts. Al must be busy putting his car back together.

Hey Al,

I talked to a friend of mine today with an STi. He might be coming up from Raleigh too. That is the only STi that I know of that might be there. He would like to get the flash for his car, but he is trying to get up the money... Too bad those are so much more expensive than the Evo flash...

Brian

 

Correct man - sorry did not realize that !
