Evo X upgrades

[mlomker]

Seeing Shane on Wednesday. Having a proper tune for the first time since March would be, umm, nice.

Bout time Crossing my fingers that all your fueling problems are resolved.

All it took was Dave to tell you to sell some of your fuel system inventory.. and it sold in like 2 minutes. Good luck on the dyno.

I had those injectors listed on evoXforums for a month and wasn't getting any traction. It sold instantly when I posted it to the Evo 8/9 forum on EvoM...there are just more 8/9 guys making the power to necessitate 2200cc injectors.

Can't say I've ever been nervous about a tune appointment before. I don't wanna cry.

haha. If it goes well then I can focus on the oil leak & burning issue (seems to be some of both).

[FattyBoomBatty]

I hate oil leaks. Mine drips from a known, hard to fix location, and makes the exhaust black, and prevents rust. For that feature alone, I'd recommend keeping the oil drip. Carry a piece of carboard with you if you don't want to mess up anyone's driveway.

Good luck tomorrow, and I have to say, how can you have never been nervous at a tune session before? Maybe because mine's always involved some huge change and no one in the SQ community is making power like me and talking about it, but I'm a nervous wreck every time I've been on the dyno, even dyno days.

I'm not breaking new ground on power levels for a X. I also use to have enough funds to weather any storm but the storm took care of that. lol.

My 'worry' at this point is that the fueling problem still exists. I'm ready to move on to other things.

What time tomorrow? I might swing up there.

[FattyBoomBatty]

Quick.

[Murlo26]

Smiles are good...sounded like 442 so far like an hour ago according to the OC thread...updates damn it.

[FattyBoomBatty]

I hope it's 600.

[Murlo26]

^I don't then I'd have to get a bbx

[Halon]

Thanks for sharing the dyno charts at the meet, decent numbers for sure

[mlomker]

haha. Went to Champps and Shane showed up a bit later.

Was an epic day. 11-7 on this thing.

We had:
1) UICP blown off on both ends
2) lubricated the dyno and my engine bay
3) run out of 1000cc injector
4) run out of Bosch 044
5) mysterious voltage drop with BAP

#5 was resolved by changing my vacuum source. The Hobbs switch used by the BAP somehow got confused by my using the wastegate vacuum line. We switched it to the afpr line and it was finally happy.

God it's nice having a tuned car again! The part-throttle response on the DW1300s is awesome. The injectors seem to be everything that I'd hoped for.

My normal tune is 427hp/331tq @25psi. Here's a graph showing the mess that I rolled in with and how it turned out.



Here's the 30psi tune:

So... after I fixed it at the FMIC and it couldn't blow off there anymore, it said 'fuck you' and blew off at the turbo? I bet that one was a little bit easier to put back on, lol.
