Sweet, thanks Scheides.

[Halon]

So he is tuning this remotely?

[turbotalon1g]

It's the newest trend in modding cars.

Although an asshole comment, sometimes I can't help but laugh at your humor

[turbotalon1g]

Seems to be a hot topic that is all, don't get upset.

It's your car, pick whoever you want to tune it.
As long as you are happy you could have a dude india tune as far as I'm concerned.

I am happy when my car works and the car works right now, I can beat on it and have fun.

Jon's schedule works awesome for me as well. I do hate not having a local person for helping troubleshoot but that has just made me do more stuff myself which I have learned a lot about.

I am not using him because I have problems with anyone local, its merely a convenience thing and the fact he has a lot of tables in ECUflash most people don't have. (Jon and Tephra are best buddies, for those who don't know Tephra basically develops all the tuning software for the X, so if Jon has issues he gets direct Tephra support and they find new table definitions and all that fun stuff)

I don't think etuning is really the "new hotness" if you ask me, but for some people it makes sense.

I dunno, working out well for me so far and the amount I would have to pay Shane/Ron to tune my car would be in the $1000's right now with the hours spent on this thing lol.

I borrowed Scheides' tactrix, so did some stuff over the weekend. Didn't have a ton of time to work on it though.

Found a big issue though and why my shit went stupid lean at idle, thanks Aaron for the good luck charm at the evo mod day



Good old DSM style fix here (recommended by Aaron, I feel uber DSM now), it works. I had a vacuum cap on this spot and sure enough as Kozmic warned it blew apart. Kozmic also recommended this fix too, hose with bolt in it and clamps. So that was the big hold up. It's back to running smooth again now though, I'll fix this properly sometime in the future, for now it stays

I am going to pull my fuel pump assembly tonight to ensure that there are no leaks there otherwise Jon is working on getting load a bit lower so we can run 35psi in the future. Car absolutely rips though on wastegate, loving it.

Also, we did some mivec adjustment, no more popping/break up at spool, it was surge it looks like..spooling too fast!

To be continued...

[Knoxville]

The cap that exploded... was that the one we just bought when doing the catch can install?

[Tachyon]

Glad to see the magic blue hose seems to be working!

It was good to get a ride on Sunday, your car fucking rips all the way to red line! It will be fun to see what happens once you stoke the fire

[Murlo26]

Yes, that one.

[goodhart]

Get this bitch finished up so you and Josh can line em up

[93gtpeater]

^ what he said. Crank the boost up.

[asshanson]

What is the magic blue hose for? No idea what that port was originally used for, a PCV perhaps?
Glad to hear it's running better though!
