Whats up yall. Has anyone made or have a boost leak tester for a fp red?

 

You just need the right size reducer coupler.

 

I think I over payed but just ordered a kit from boostleaktesters.com

Seems legit with 60 psi guage and everything.

That's actually cheap...lol. I bought the STM one a while back, its more than that and no gauge.

 

Damn really? This was 60 with priority shipping.

Im hoping to find a boost leak on my car.

This tuning is getting frustrating.

Afrs are all over the place.

 

The idea is to perform a BLT prior to tuning But hey better late than never...

And geese that is friggin expensive. You can make one for like $10. all you need is a coupler PVC cap couple clamps and a valve stem. I dont have a gauge on mine but I use my tire filler so that has a gauge on it already so no need.

 

Ive made one before for my evo 3 16g talon. Never got it right always leaking at tool.

Lol ill just add it to my tool box.








Yes I know it should have been done prior to tuning but.......

 

I got tired of the PVC stuff not staying together so I bought the one STM makes.

 

Just gotta tighten the clamps more. Or get a bigger hammer!

And cmon Sean what a newb I thought you were legit...you can fab custom parts but can't make a boost leak tester. Im appalled no #evomguru for you!

 

I was having a lazy day, and was ordering other things from them at the same time...meh lol

 

Currently doing injector tuning.
Fic 1450 cc blue max on e-85

I used applaud user latency settings and brought me to -3 short fuel trim and -8 mid long trim.

1329 scaling is what I left and applaud and other suggest 1008 for scaling.

Will every set up vary some in scaling?

Do I lean out globally to correct the trims or maf scaling?

 

Every setup is going to be slightly different. Your injectors probably came with a card to get you in the ballpark and I know there is some good threads on here as well which sounds like you found.

Ideally you want to see your fuel trims within 5% so thats your goal. Dont start leaning out the maps or playing with MAF scaling until you have the injectors scaled properly.

But as I mentioned before you start playing around with the tune you must make sure your car is mechanically sound. If you have a leak what good is dialing in the tune around that? The second you fix the leak the tune is going to get effed up again.

 

MAF scaling is part of getting the fuel trims dialed in, unless the MAF scaling was previously correct for whatever intake is being run.

 

The car was previously tuned.

maf scaling is stock I think. Compared to my buddys car with non fp red same scalings on maf.

So lets say my fuel trims don't get any better then -3 with injector scaling adjustments.

Move on to maf to bring them in closer?

 

Gotcha

I don't have the fic info card but the car was tuned before like I said.

It was tuned perfect but after walbro 450 install entire map is rich. So I checked fuel trims and were off so started messing with injector latencies. Car runs smooth with APPLAUD's Latencies. But my fuel trims are not having it.
