im running a zietronix wideband and im taking data logs with euroflash. the remote tuning is very easy as long as you have a wideband. youll communicate through email with jerry. he'll tell you what he needs

Was the voltage clamp difficult to setup? I read their instructions, did you use "Signal Modify Configuration" with single load signal?
Did you put your wideband after the merge in the exhaust or just measuring one bank?
Again thanks for the help, I have probably read all the same threads as you but there is limited information and many not so reliable sounding ways of achieving the same thing.

Awesome, thanks for that, I emailed him for a price and to ask about the datalogging.
Fantastic! another couple of dumb questions, hope you don't mind. Where is the MAF? I assumed it would be before the throttle body, is it just below the y-pipe?

I have my wideband in place of bank 2 sensor 2. (secondary o2) I will have a bung welded after the merge here in a week or so.

Thanks for the clarification. I know the stock maf but I have heard of people putting it after the turbo or supercharger and just wanted to make sure.
For the voltage clamp I thought you got a different product reading through another thread. Did you get the VC3 from split second? https://splitsec.com/product/vc3-100-voltage-clamp/ When the time comes I will have a look through WIS and work out which wires are which.

Wow, great work with the kit!! You did an awesome job. I like the fuel rail modification!
I had a gen 1 side mount on my c43, and a gen 2 mp112 on an sl500. I would say the gen 1 felt better, it had a smaller blower mp90, but that was on a c43 which has amg cams and other performance parts.
Its cool you put the intercooler in, up here in the north east I never bothered, just blocked off the ports.
A few questions... what nose drive did you end up with? I cut one down to size for my sl500, but I heard you could get a two piece from magnuson that is adjustable. I never tried that way.
Great work! Enjoy that beast. It is quite a rush to put the car together and take it for a test drive the first time after, with no traction and tires smoking. A great feeling.
I still have a spare gen 2 hps kit here, but will probably hold onto it for the next project car. They seem to be kind of rare these days. I saw a complete one on ebay last week and it went quick. Wish they still continued to make kits, they were a quality product and thousands less than kleemann.

If you don't mind i would appreciate it; it would definitely help when the time comes. What was involved with the walbro install? I have installed one on my old celica before and had to drop the tank.

update. 1500 miles on the kit, still no issues with it. my trans is shifting really slow, but that's the stock tcu. tcu tune to correct that and all will be perfect. AFR's still good. jerry did a great job tuning the car. I received my final tune on Friday. its spot on.
ngk 7s are here today so after I install them ill report back. I do have a question for the other s/c'ed guys. what thermostat are you running? I know stock is 87* Celsius. I was looking into a 79*.

Another update, I installed new plugs.
I went a step colder. NGK range 7. Copper tip. The car loves them. Idles like New and pulls consistently. I recommend these to all supercharged M113's

3000 mile update. All is still good. The car has adapted fully. It's a complete monster, I'm running 265's in the rear and it's still a challenge to launch. I'll be doing an oil change in the near future. I'll report back then

So I went to the track and ran some pretty disappointing numbers. 13.2 at 109. I'm only on 4.5psi but i feel it should be much faster. Maybe the hps plenum doesn't flow right? Or it's restrictive? The funny thing is I raced a C32 and pulled 3 cars on him. Maybe it was the conditions as well. Anyway I'm really disappointed.

I wouldn't be too disappointed. I remember 91RS saying the same thing with the kleemann kit. What tires were you running? And still no quaife right? You went back to the stock headers after the topspeed also right? Or long tubes now?
My guess would be some traction issues and heaps of torque with a slightly restricted top end. Just guessing, I really don't know but I would have thought 4.5psi will probably add a boat load of torque but only about 50-60hp.
Unless you are really into your drag racing I would be more focused on how fun it is on the street and it sounds like you had no disappointment there.
