You need to go all the way to 7500. 6500 is just when the HP starts to peak. Also, you're already very rich as expected, but adding a fuel pump untuned will make richer than rich. Be sure you're getting a tune when you add those parts.
It's RPM, timing, and O2 voltage, which is narrowband AFRs.nothere said:so we are looking at RPM, timing(?) and TPS (?) ?
I have never seen the stock system before. IF that is timing, wow, is that cali gas?
Warrtalon are you seeing something, or do you just know from experience that the car is rich?
No, I never see below 7-8* of timing because of the flash. It keeps timing right at 8* through the peak torque area.nothere said:thanks for the clue Warrtalon.
Do you often see five degrees timing?
Just 2 things:evo8kiko said:ROFL Hello tuners. just got the MBC and Boostguage installed. Boost set at 21psi. Cruised the car around for a little bit and went WOT on 3rd. Pulls like a maniac. Boost did not taper. Still waiting on the Walbro coz when the first one was installed it was a Faulty fuel pump so we put the stock one back in. A new walbro is on order along with the Aem Wideband. Still saving for the SAFC. I wont plan on boosting any higher than 21psi until I get an SAFC. It used to taper at 5500rpm now its solid up top. Big difference. I will pocketlog it sometime this week to compare to the earlier Log posted on this thread.:thumb: so stby for more.....
Warrtalon said:Just 2 things:
1) The stock turbo will ALWAYS taper if you're running 20psi or more. It simply cannot hold that much boost at high rpm. If you mean it holds that boost to 5500rpm, that's fine. But we refer to "taper" as the boost falling off by redline (7k rpm) and beyond (7500rpm). For example, mine spikes to 22psi at peak boost (3600-3800rpm), holds 20-21psi to redline, then falls to 19psi by 7500. That's with a strong MBC and strong BOV.
2) Getting an S-AFC won't allow you to run more boost. Those are independent factors. What allows you to run more than 21-22psi is octane. You have to have enough knock resistance (race gas or alcohol injection) to run higher boost without knocking.
Getting a wideband, SAFC, and logger, is an OK way to go about tuning, but it will still fall short of a flash. IT WOULD BE NICE TO GET A FLASH, BUT WILL A FLASH ALWAYS BE PERFECT? I AM HAPPY WITH TUNING WITH AFC, POCKETLOGGER, WATCHING THE TIMING, AND WIDEBAND. You should at least think about getting flashed unless you're just intent on doing it all yourself. {I though of a flash and it takes all the fun out of tuning. Maybe, when I hit the lotto or win big in a casino, then I'll go for the flash, or even an aem ems. I'm just out to have fun. Just alittle of encouragement here.} I did it this way and had fun...I was also very successful at the drag strip, but now that I'm flashed and just use the SAFC for fine tuning (mostly for race gas at the track), my car is much more beastly and fun to drive.
As you can see, I'm sponsored by Dynoflash and that is because I believe in his product, and he believes in my ability to properly represent his product while achieving great times at the track. The main guy is Al, so that is who you would talk to. There are two ways to go about getting flashed from Al:evo8kiko said:who did you talk to over at DYnoFlash? How do I get started? If it is only $199 how long does the process take? What are the steps of Getting a flash? I am new to this. Sorry for the million Questions. If it makes life easier than the afc then I can roll with that.
No, it will not. If you did not have an MBC, the flash would be able to control boost for you by setting it at 21psi and removing the stock boost taper (like an MBC), but it would not leave boost control up to you. With an MBC, you have full control of your boost, and as long as the BCS is still plugged in but capped off, then you'll be fine - the flash will not be affected.evo8kiko said:Oh yeah one more thing. Since I have a MBC and stock Boost solenoid is plugged. Will that affect the Flash?
