As for the coolant catch could you order an aftermarket one from jegs or summit smaller in size and remote mount it. Also save a little water weight at the same time.

 

ya i looked into one of those and i dont really know where to put it. we have one at weaver that would work but its like .5" too wide for where i wanted to put it. ill have to do some more searchin.

im tryin to squeeze it in between the neck of the washer resivoir and the ac pulley right there. tight space but its about the only spot i got open for one.

ok so i had noticed that my fuel kinda leaned out at the higher rpm and psi now with the new injen pipes.should i go more you think?



josh

 

If you're running out of fuel, then yes you'll need to add more at the appropriate load %/RPMs. How lean are your AFRs getting?

 

Is this your current map? I could be mistaken but dont you need to rescale your map to about a 120 load max instead of 100? Maybe this is part of your issue.

 

they are getting into the higher 13's before i did this map like 30 mins ago. havent sent it yet to the ecu.

this will be my current map as soon as i send it. i think i posted the current a few pages back. and how would i rescale it out to 120?

Ok well you see how in the 10 20 and 30 are basically identical, you combine those all into the first collumn 10 then the rest of the collumns would be from 40-120 load, this way you have more control over your afrs as you get into the higher load numbers while in boost. you just copy and paste all your afr values back into there correct collumns then I believe what I did is took my 120 collumn and dropped averything either .5 or maybe even a full afr point from the 100 load collumn and interpolate horizontal for a base map. Kinda confusing how I explain it lol maybe someone can explain it simplier? I cant tell you much else as I have yet to install my kit but also remember that when you scale your high octane map the low actane map will inherit the same load scale so you must change those values as well.
Here is a screen shot of how my maps will look for my base to start tuning with, the top are my stock maps and the bottom are my rescaled maps notice how my load goes 10,40,50,60 etc. although I think this is an old shot as it looks like I forgot to have the first load cell in the low octane map start at 10 but you get the idea. Hopefully its not as confusing as I think its sounding

 

It's as confusing as you think.

 

Sorry haha I would never be a good teacher. I understand how it works perfectly but cant seem to explain it very good.

 

finally got my vibrant 45 degree couplers in today so hopefully i can get my injen lower pipe insatlled tmw and fix my charge pipe connector as well since i got 2 couplers.

 

take a pic

 

will do. hopefully i can get some good ones tomorrow as well, but it doesnt look like the weather will cooperate too well at all tmw.

 

well tried to get my lower pipe on on wednesday but that didnt go so well. for one it was a little cold (bout 37 degrees for the high!), and then it didnt want to go in worth a crap. i could line it up off the outlet pipe from the turbo but not to the ic, and vice versa. i think it might have something to do with using a 1g dsm outlet pipe and not an evo one, which i do havre but didnt have a long enuf extension (best excuse to go to sears and get some new tools!).

well now i got all the tools, so hopefully maybe this weekend it can go on withall the right tools being in my posession and parts now as well!

ok so right now since i cant get my lower pipe in i figured that i would work with ecu flash. thses are some of the last logs i did back in september and if im reading it correctly im seeing 150%+ load correct? which then means i should adjust the load side of my maps corect?

 

Aren't you supposed to be calculating based on ECULoad and not LoadCalc?...
