Today I went to Ripp and got a new, more aggressive tune in the black box. The car is running smoother than it did when it was stock! It also feels like theirs a little more torque in the mid range. They are some great people over there, always willing to help you go faster. On the way home, I was playin with a WRX, he couldn't hang.

 

whats this new, more aggressive tune? u have stage 2 from RIPP? i have a stage 2 sds and i need to for tuning so maybe i'll go for that new tune u were talkin about? just let me know wut it is.. and did they charge u for it?

 

^he has stage 1 but plans to upgrade.

cool bro. glad everythings working out. hopefully they'll do the same when i'm up there next month. i need to get that idle taken care of

 

nice, think you cou;ld break into the 14s with teh new tune?

 

can u get the "new" tune in the stage 2? what is the "new tune" anywayz

 

well technically speaking every lancer kit has the same programming. the only difference in stages is the size of the pulley, and the boost cooler (if you have a stage 2). that being said i'm sure anyone can get the "new" tune. as far as what it is, ross said they're constantly improving new things, so its probably like an upgrade. it'll make your car run better/smoother.

 

yea i just called up RIPP mods, i'm gonna have it done next week probably. can't wait to c how this runs

 

^ sweet. let us know how it turns out. i'm going to be up there next month. i need to get my car tuned and idle adjusted.

 

Basically its a little more agressive. It relies a little less on the O2 sensors and is a little more "set". I am basically a stage 2 now, I have the smaller pulley and a different water injection setup (I told my wife that I needed it and she suprised me with it). The only thing that could possibly stop me from going low-mid 14's are my tires (stock size, cheepies). I believe the new tune will be free for anyone who already has the kit and is willing to go to there shop. BlazenOZ has had this tune for a while and Ross wanted to be sure it was better than the one we had before he started to give it out. Now it will be standard in all kits.

 

good to hear. so your stage 2 now huh? good stuff man.

 

idk. my boost gauge says i'm running 4-6 psi.. it changes idk what happened.. i was at 9 than this week it says 4-6 psi.i hop getting it retuned or doing the new tune will make me go back to 9 but i see no reason for it to drop. its stage 2.. has the methonal injection system and etc.

 

First check your vacumm lines, you may have a leak. Does your belt squeal? If your car is running good, belt's tight and no vac leaks, then its your guage. You should reach 10-11 psi before 5500 rpm.

 

yo fkrzo ! what did you get done bro ! dont be keepin it from me dude ! i want a remap !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

definately something wrong. stage 2 is rated at 11psi, but i hit 12psi (max) in 4th gear just before redline the other day on the expressway. like fkrzo said check everything.....

 

idk about the guage.. my boost gauge needle broke and autmeter sent me a brand new one. so i put that in myself since its only connected by a vac hose.. i'll go check my vac hose.. and how r u guys running 10-12 psi. i get 9psi max... i guess i'm using the smaller pully?
