I'm sure someone else mentioned but are you sure your IC pump is good ?

How many parameters? If its more than 2 then it's not the real thing. Ask anyone with real logging equipment , this car is very very slow via obd with more than 2 parameters

Yeah, slow when you're using a blue tooth device and a cell phone.

Not with a laptop, a direct connection, and a software built for the car at hand. Give me a break lol.

BTW, 140F@130ish after 2000-6700rpm pull. Want the log?

Lol...I had a scangauge, which is faster than a laptop and EC sw since it doesn't need a laptop and I had 4 parameters and it was very diff when I did only one. Its the car obd refresh rate that is the problem when using more than 2 parameters.

It was clear the faster we went the faster his car was than mine. Also, he could have speed shifted it faster and maybe gained a half length...

Again, PM me for the clip!!!
I believe the vid shows what you say, without a doubt.

Been doing reading on meth injection. I'm thinking this is the way to roll as some have suggested here also. I didn't realize the temps skyrocketed so badly with the 77mm pulley. Hulk you were correct, when I said I was 15-16 above ambient, that was at a cruise. When I'm loading her up to get a good pull going you were right, at ~70*f ambient my iats ARE around 100*f. So it's pulling timing before I even get started. I think meth injection for cooling and a good tune and I'll be ok. Seems guys are having an easy time keeping her under 100*f even running 195mm pullies. I should of came more prepared for the boost party

I assume you went with someone else for your tune now? If so can you recommend anyone? as of right now I have plans to go to OE tuning here and getting a custom dyno tune. I emailed them last week about it and the main reason wasn't even for more power it was to get rid of that lag in power. I didn't set anything up yet because I wasn't sure the tune would fix it. Now I feel better about spending the cash.
I did go with someone else and we are only 2 tunes in and it's going very well so far. I don't get that weird power surge you explained anymore and I don't get the low speed acceleration bucking anymore on the 1-2 shift.

If your were logging only timing and iat you would see the timing jumping up and down. That is the ecu pulling timing and the tune trying to override it but ultimately the ecu will win lol

Logged IATs and timing. 140-145 as I ran it out longer. Pulled 2 degrees. Not 9.

Was the timing going up and down or did it just go down 2* and what are your mods?

Doesnt the paperwork say 9.5 at 149*f? All other variables aside shouldn't it not retard the timing until that threshold is reached?

I thought the timing jumping up and down was knock retard. I always have that but when I put half a tank of 100 octane with my 91 octane all those jumps dissappeared.

Ya the refresh rate is still slow because of the pc interface but the timing up and down is what I said, the tune (commanded timing) is fighting the ecu because its doing what it has to do to protect the motor.


Get some ported heads to take advantage of the cams.

Purchased the Aquamist hfs3 kit this morning. Hoping this and dyno tune should do it for me. Supposedly the kit comes with a variety of nozzles. I guess we'll have to play around.

AQ is good , should have spent money on good logging equipment first though

Hulk,

I wish you would just level with everyone on your thoughts on getting good data logging equipment. Seems you are on the fence if it a good investment.

How bad am I screwing up if I buy this one?

Lol, np

In short no, because you are relying too much on obd info which is slow through the obd port and then going to a cellphone.


If you don't want a dashdaq zt2 combo then go with this :

http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/lm2.php

It's a good unit and you have analog ports to add a boost sensor and add the afr.

Only 2 things that will go through the obd will be iat and timing also this unit processes obd info good also

Btw I do stress good logging equipment simply because it is important especially when modding. People have a false sense of security with the obd cellphone reader sw or the EC logging sw. I wish logging equipment is the first thing I would have bought.

Only thing I log is IAT and timing. I have a wideband in the car. It is fast enough for those 2 parameters

Not with the EC logging sw.

Borrow a scanguage2 if you can and you will see the diff


With the EC logging you are not only battling a ****ty obd refresh rate but also the USB port to the laptop.


I had and tried 4 diff logging systems and would only use the EC logging as last resort

Thanks. Ordered. $314 with P1 Overnight shipping. According to "my" mechanic (I hate that term) who is also a friend he is putting it back together this weekend after adding the mods (see below) and will be doing the box tune.

My next step will be to go to the dyno shop to see the #'s and while I am there have Jerry or Shardal do a custom tune. THIS PIG BETTER PUT DOWN 525+ RWHP!

Mods "Coming"

Belt Rap Kit
84mm S/C Pulley
82mm TB
550cc Injectors
One Step Colder Plugs
VRP Intake (polished aluminum - I like the look)
Intake Scoops (+/- .0005 HP gain but I like how they look)
TCU Tune (Eurocharged)
Re-Tune (Eurocharged)
Painted Surge Tanks and Intake Scoops!

Car currently has the mods listed in my signature..
