I was explaining it in simplified terms. If someone is unsure of a BISS is then how would you expect them over a forum to understand without having to tell them (take into consideration he really doesnt care, OR he already did it). I was being as simple as possible hoping that it was something he knew or had already attempted.

It worked for him anyways, but i think this is more on what you were looking for from me then.

"DO IT PROPERLY" . . .
Travis manual
Page 28
Article 19
Paragraph 5

" After opening your favorite tool box, gently grab your favorite screw driver, holding it within your palm, press firmly with your thumb as if you were cupping it. Then with your other 4 fingers wrap it around the screw driver making sure you have a tight grip. When the tight grip is accomplished, you then have to carefully transport the screw driver from your tool box to the throttle body making sure to wear safety goggles and a any other protective gear to prevent any harm to yourself. While aiming it to the set screw, it may force you to twist your wrist at a 40 DEG angle which will also make your elbow now an angle I cannot predict because i dont know the total length of his arm, or if he has any other bends on his for arm or a limp wrist. "

I hope the write up on how to use a screw driver was good enough for ya trav

Again, I suggested something, and in end it worked.

 

If i recall nate ordered one and it took like 2 months to come in. It didnt work either.

Soo i dont think you are the only one having problems. Call him, may have found a solution since then, or just tossed it.

 

You can also aimlessly spend 20 grand to run high 11's. Instead of aimlessly turning screws on the car till something works people like travis suggest sit back, learn how the system works, and properly adjust it. You have your way and he has his.

 

hey thanks always wondered how to use one of those - i may get a mod to put this in the how-to section.

Funny you mock me for stating the proper steps of setting the base idle screw - instead of not taking your approach of "get a screw driver and turn it"... its a shame your so ignorant to someone that wants to add some technical information to the topic to better explain how to do something right, instead of following this simple approach...

way to keep it simple

As this is getting lost in all the nonsense that is peteypab here is the steps to adjusting the BISS once more....in "real" simple terms.

I also want to add - you want to be sure that after you adjust the BISS that your target idle in the ecu is still followed. If you want to raise or lower the idle you don't do it by the BISS you do it by flashing a new target idle, the BISS should be at 750-850 rpms (factory spec) and the only way you will know is to activate the SAS actuator.

Final note i have seen some so out of adjustment the second i activated the SAS actuator the car stalled but without the actuator activated the car idled still - but with the proper BISS setting it wont work as hard to idle hence all around better drive-ability.

I dont expect Eric to understand this information because its not caveman talk but I expect more mockery and back pedaling as we all know its what he is good at....

 

Hahaha. Since day one I never got involved in the Eric Petor fights and today is not the day to change that. Trav, I totally respect u and everyone else on here, but eric u just made me laugh for like 5 minutes with that ****

 

Not insinuating anything, but you did also purchase the reflash module right?

It can only be used with the OP 2.0.

 

20 grand to run 11's? I assume you are poking at me on this one?

I have $400 invested in my car running 11's with a CRACKED DIVIDER WALL.



Why sit back, when you can take initiative.

 

uhh ugg ugg me cav3 men air wick!!!! i talka no espelinglish!!!




me used peteypabs instuktuns and the screw made the injen fall out. so me cave man just sit in car like hot tub.

No i totally respected the member asking the question. The way i saw it was, i throw out an idea, if he attempted it already he would say "tried that" or if he was interested in the idea he would say "tell me more". You think im a monster trav, but really im a guy with feelings. That cave man remark really hurt them...

 

yes we purchased a whole package kit, like i said it worked once on my car to log. Then tried to tune a newer sti with it to no avail. also hasnt worked since then on any car.

 

Did you try using it with another laptop? Updating the ECUflash and EvoScan software? I have had a terrible time with cables/logging software for my car, it always seems to be one issue or another. I would say try a different laptop or different port and reinstall the software. I know thats a crappy suggestion. I will bring my laptop up and you can give it a shot (OS X or Windows 7) if you'd like.

 

On another note, peteypab, where the **** did you get a picture of a gutted evo in the park? The other crap was obviously photoshopped, but wtf is with the rolling chassis in a park? Random picture indeed.

As for the advice and whose to use. One (petey) is a quick fix, that might solve the problem, however when the weather changes or another variable comes into play the idle will only be further from what you want it and can possibly cause more problems (rev higher at idle than desired, etc.). The other (travs) will fix it guaranteed and also help you get a slight insight into tuning and dealing with the issues that arise from a modified car when the seasons change.

I don't mean to step on anyones toes, or to throw more gas on the fire, but it just seems like you should get travs a shot, if you get lost or struggle with it, try peteys for the quick fix.

Good luck with it

 

Its mine. When I built my evo, i pulled everything and the long wait made me take the car to another location. It was getting put on a flat bed there.

That was a cave man, and that is my face so that would make me that caveman no photoshops there !!!

 

ya i got a new laptop for christmas, tried it on mine, and still no luck.

 

So having my first issue with the evo. On my way home from work the SRS light came on. Have no idea why, car only has 14,000 miles none of the srs stuff has ever been touched. Awesome having your dd with the possibility of the air bags not working while you do a 40 min commute in the snow...lol Anyone ever have this happen, any suggestions?

 

might wanna take that one into service for a hook up... regular evo scans and tactrix cables i think wont find it... (dont quote me on that)

Have you ever had the steering wheel clocked either way in a really hard manner?

Here is a funny question, does your horn work?
