    Difference in throttle percentage

    What are you using for a boost controller? Also, have you considered a hybrid controller?

    Some questions about meth

    Basically with meth, you are relying on a second fuel source. If the pump fails run out of meth..., you run the risk of lean conditions and melting down the engine. Even if you build a safe guard in the tune, .5 seconds of lean is too long. I had meth for a while and it was fine until E85 came...

    How will compression affect the tune

    ^ +1 There are many factors in deciding on what to do. Your old tune was based off of the old motor. I would recommend a full retune for the modifications. With the change in compression and different pistons, you are changing the combustion chamber. As previously stated, this changes the risk...

    FS (MI) Perrin rotated up pipe

    I have a t3/t4 perrin rotated up pipe I was thinking about using, however, I plan to keep my car at a lower power level running a stock frame turbo. They are 425 new. This one has about 100 miles on it. I guess it came off of a car that lost compression on the dyno during break in. Guessing a...

    Im running 10:1 with 35-40psi. No problems here. Its all in the tune a fuel used.

    Well I can hook you up with the parts. No need to pay retail. I can get final prices when the time comes. H-beams tend to bend or snap. Especially when torque comes on faster. IMO, I would not run h beams. I would build it once and right the first time. I went with the turbo tuff rods in my evo...

    Sorry I have been off the forums for a while. Moving, school and a new job is keeping me pretty busy. Boost pressure does not always equate to HP numbers and vise versa. Anyways, you need to look at your power goals and use of the car before you start a build or consider buying parts. For...

    YOU KNOW WHAT REALLY GRIND MY GEARS? Thread

    Maybe he got hit and all that was left was his shoes lol. This is exactly why I moved out of Redford. Aint nobody got time for that.

    CEL Lean on Bank 1 - why?

    Hopefully they didnt flash the tune out of it. However, possible causes for this. The MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor is dirty or faulty Note: The use of "oiled" air filters may cause the MAF to become dirty if the filter is over-oiled. There is also an issue with some vehicles where the MAF sensors...

    Can you log it? Also, check all your sensor connections and grounds. Other than that, you should have some type of code stored. Maybe a memory code. Also, I highly recommend to pull the plugs and check them. This will tell you if its lean, rich and if there was any detonation. Upload or text me...

    Peak Boost varies depending on ambient temperature?

    A short and easy way to explain this is cold air is denser (more molecules). When you force it through a turbo and it compresses the air, it will expand due to heat. Therefore; colder air will expand at a faster rate when compressed causing higher boost pressures. When the air is warmer, the...

    2015 WRX's built tougher than Ford...

    The boost may depend on the load and what gear you are in. Also, as long as timing is conservative during the boost spike, it should be fine. I would be curious if anyone can data log this when it happens and see whats going on. Also curious what the AFRs are when this happens. If its not...

    Turbo testing and flow results

    There are 2 ways. You hook up the turbo on a bench with oil supply and push air through the exhaust and flow the intake side. Kinda like flow testing a cylinder head but instead of cramming air through it, you measure how much air it is pulling in. Also, you can measure the wheel size and...

    Injectors and everything to do with them.

    I have had great results with FIC. I have not ran ID ones so I dont have an input. You will need to do research on the type of injector when using e85. Some are not compatible due to e85 eating up seals and clogging up. For your cold start, you need to add a little fuel to the starting tables...

    Injectors and everything to do with them.

    Im running FIC 2150s in my evo. Its on pump and e85. The fuel you use will determine what injector size you choose. E85 tends to burn about 30% more fuel. With that being said, I needed an injector that can flow 30% more fuel at the same HP level. This is why I went to the largest injector they...
