GD Toomes DD PTE6262 07 Hawkeye. What a long, long adventure this has been.

[IGOTASTi]

Finally updated the first post. Just under applications you post it right? Didn't see directions for anywhere else.

There is a stickie there.

Man I just finished up a long day of maintenance work.


-Greased end-links and front and rear bushings on the sway bars.
-Painted the hot side pipe.
-Wraped cold-side and removed old paint.
-Upper coolant tank delete.
-Cleaned up some plumbing in the engine bay.
-Brake check.
-Finally got the engine harness OFF THE ENGINE. LOL.

 

[IGOTASTi]

Looks great.

Looks great.

Thanks bud!

What's awesome is there are apparently no votes and no contenders for September STi of the Month, JJ and I are the only two votes and I am pretty sure mine doesn't count hahah.

In awesome news today, car was boost cutting at 5psi...I am scared. It's probably from fooling around with all of my hoses etc.

 

[IGOTASTi]

It only takes one vote. Wait till you see the calendars my friend. They rock.

 

[toomes]

can't wait to see 'em

Today I had a fuel cut not a boost cut. I took some time after work and found that one of my fittings on my driver's side fuel rail was loose!! OMG. Now that that is resolved I continued to clean up the engine bay. Crankcase breather hoses that connect to the middle one were only 3/8????? No idea why that was installed like that on my behalf. It was probably when I had no idea what I was doing or no clue how the system worked. I changed them to proper emission hose in 5/8.

Sadly there was the dreaded milky substance in the breather hoses...I will have to keep an eye on it. I also cleaned up the top line of the AOS and made it fit properly without all the slack, still debating on if I should heat shield it or not?

Radiator Hose

Top radiator hose keeps collapsing?! W T F.

Since the top tank delete, I am wondering if the system is being sucked dry? The car isn't over heating or anything, but I am on sure if my overflow tank is too low or two high and it's messing with the vaccuum or something like that.:roll::roll:

That is strange. What hoses you have?

 

[toomes]

I understand that it was vaccum, but what I dont understand is that I burped the air out and waited until the T stat opened and there is even tons in the overflow for it to suck out. I might throw it back, we will see. Ive seen it deleted a ton of times, maybe I am missting something.

 

[toomes]

I think it is just because of the fact that my overflow can is lower than the radiator. I am going to set it up at the same height tomorrow. I am removing my windshield washer fluid tank tomorrow and that will give me some more room.

Just going to sway the lines with the IC sprayer!!

 

[toomes]

I don't have numbers to post just yet, but we road tuned the car today on 22 psi again, but since the hYdra was acting up, I will be contacting them tomorrow. Car's electrical system HATED it.

back to RomRaider at 22psi. CAR. RIPS. Going to try and get some dyno numbers this week.

 

[HolyCrapItsFast]

I would be very interested to see your results.

 

[toomes]

I will post them on facebook and then here. Car is at 22psi, 75% IDC (1100cc) 8300 redline, MAF is maxxed which is why we threw down only 22 psi. Car pulls ALLL the way through...22/26 degrees uptop.

Not sure if there is a calculator anywhere that does that rough math.

 

[toomes]

I didn't think 07 STI could do speed density with Rom Raid?! If that is the case, I would gladly do it.

For the Log, what would you guys like, I am going to assume:

1. Time
2. RPM
3. TPS??

Anything else?

I'm not sure whether there is OEM ecu SD support for the 32bit ECU's - the SD 'hack' is based on the 16 bit Group N Rom. I would most definately be interested in it is if it is available - I'm already hitting 4.8v on the MAF with an 80mm intake...

 

[Td_d]

Oh - and for the virtual dyno logs you want to log the following, at a minimum:

Engine Load
Manifold Relative Pressure (or absolute - but the direct variable - so the 4 or 2 byte parameters)
Engine Speed / RPMs
Wideband AF (not necessary, but preferable)
Throttle Plate position

and to be exactly accurate:

atmospheric pressure
intake temperature

You'll also need your exactly tire measurements, and what gear the pull was done in.

I think mine is a 76mm intake. I as going to get a megaMAF from KStech awhile ago, but never went with it. I mean, I do have a hYdra...lol so who cares

Got my tactrix cable back from my friend. TIME TO LOG!! (humid as hell so I am waiting.)
