Ah thats a good idea posting those screen shots. Here's a couple....this is my buddies rom that apparently had my tune on it... Notice stock timing and fuel but modified mivec. Also notice the date on the one screenshot....we made this in November and its never been touched since then.

 

I will contact you about those meets when I am back to looking for a evo

 

Its been going good man. Vacation is almost over though and then the parents leave and then its moving .

 

I wasn't talking about back pressure, that line of reasoning for this particular case might hold a little ground with the NA crowd but this is mainly a turbo forum, or at least it was last time I checked . This is dbsears statement which I was referring to

Now where in there does it mention a loss of power? It says a loss of torque. Torque and power while related are not the same. Even so, my post was in response to this:

I would imagine given his line of arguing that his point here was not that when he went to the 3.5" there was a loss of performance, but a gain. In fact he spells that out above.

We can rat hole on this, but the law of diminishing returns will agree that unless the car is already on the edge (i.e has every single bolt on in the world, cams, NOS, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker with the stock turbo) a switch from a 3" to 3.5" is going to be a marginal change at best. The 3" has already increased the exhaust flow for the stock turbo that switching to a 3.5" is most likely not going to change the flow enough to agree with Mr Bell in this case (good book by the way xturdfergusonx).

Now switch to a bigger turbo that outflows that 3" and then you are in business. So if you are doing it for a bigger turbo down the line then that is fine, but thats a completely different argument than the one we are getting into here .

 

12 hour work day ftl...

 

A fool and his/her money are soon parted . Way too many technical posts in here backed with dyno sheets, logging and relatively reasonable testing methodoligies not to do your research before buying parts. There are no excuses with the VIIIs/IXs (Xs get a break since they are new) .

 

Yeah, that is for the loss. Atleast its some extra money on the pay check. Just get some good sleep and you will be good as new . Also, would you might PMing me where u got your HIDs from?

 

what u guys think about easton lake (for camping) and boatin..

I think Omak and Conoullity is too far lol.. ill save as in case.. lake chelan too,

perfer have fun and after or early morning fishing for trouts or salmon or steelhead depend on localtion

 

This is a WW IX? David C right? That car was used wasn't it? Did you pull the rom first and then write it back with only the JDM Mivec changed? Or did you just overwrite his rom completely?

 

ah my buddy have prative property (80 Acres) at Easton.. have river and lake.. so he say i can use his property.. so ill update soon..

He is pro WORC racer (world off road champ) Justin Gonoinsky Pro 250cc motocross racer along his Step Dad is Lance Smail (world champ and Supercross star and alot events along with Monster motocross)

 

Got my Seat Brackets on today... Thanks J.

 

how do u like them?

 

I just pulled his rom and copyed the different Mivec onto is. As far as seeing his rom it looked stock.

 

They are great. Installed them in my IX in about 15 min. I'm 6'4" so they make it a great fit.

 

I tested a friend's 335i, damn that car is fast. unfortunately, the handling is like hoe.
