just switch to closed loop boost control and it will adjust for you

I was also a little bit surprised the shop actually lowered the timing (though only a bit) over my e-tune. That was my first comment to you after the tune. I was expecting them to tune it with det cans and add at least 2-3* in various places. I thought my tune was too conservative lol

But who cares, car is fun and tune is super conservative, that's a good combination

Do tell, I didnt know that was an option?

I forgot: are you on ms3 1.4.0 or newer?
I have a thread specifically about closed loop I just recently made, if so

sshamrockk

Ms2.. was a slight noob when I was picking a ms..

My friend who worked at Garrett and Vortech when we were young would laugh at us.
No problem with MS2, Vlad can help you anyway.

But I agree with Vlad and I am surprised that the tuner didn't add timing. My old friend would say, "It's all bull, anyway, of course they didn't add any timing, do you think you can hear any detonation when a car is running a dyno next to you?"

He's absolutely correct.

Oops, sorry double post.

sshamrockk

Does the thread still apply to MS2, I read it very briefly.

I'm not sure tbh, let me pull up your tune/project when I have some time and poke around

sshamrockk

Just shoot me a text when you get into it, if I have some time I can poke around and get my high low values of my Ebc. It's pretty disappointing to see 11-12 psi during the day when it's warms, and then when it gets colder at night hitting 15-16..

Hope I did this right. But heres my first autocross event with the turbo setup a few weeks back. Only my third event in this car, and 4th ever event.

Seems like you have a lot of understeer, but hard to tell. I don't know your suspension setup, other than your sig, but try a little more rear ride height.

sshamrockk

I was very unhappy with how the car handled that day, my last event I was in a lower class, but had a good enough time to place me 3rd in the class I was running that day. I finished 15th in my class, maybe it was a tougher crowd? But the car felt very loose, it still picks up a wheel in the rear, causing the lifted wheel to spin, I might try disconnecting my rear sway bar to remedy that issue. As for ride height, it's probably all over the place, I just eye balled it when I installed the coilovers. The plan is to pick up some xidas next year after I buy everything I need to prep for the track.

Start saving now. I will have a set of Gen2 Xida's 700/400 for sale probably in October. Less then 1000 street miles on them, only selling because I will be moving up to Xida XL Ace.

sshamrockk

Hmm, let me know, I daily the car when it's not winter, so 700/400 is the rates I was going to buy. I wanted to buy a BBK before coils, but they car wait, I have all winter to buy everything I need to bring it to the track.

sshamrockk

Well, I'm a little disappointed with my first time at the track. My second of four runs was my best, but wasn't my best launch. Even with flatfoot shifting I manged to miss 2nd my third and fourth run. I was expecting to run 13.0@110. With a better launch, and an actual working tach to know when to shift would probably bring me to my 13.0, but I'm 5mph off where I thought I should be.

While at the track I turned up my overboost protection and boost duty trying to get a little more power to help, but I missed 2nd both times after that. But I did data log one of those runs. Car was tuned for 15 psi, since then I'v upped the boost duty and bit, so I was expecting 17psi tapering up to redline, upon looking at the log it was holding steady at 183kpa.. I wasn't able to watch the boost gauge going down the strip to see if they matched up. I didn't have time to play around with it as we got rained out. But in the way home and that night, I was hitting 17psi no problem. So I'm assuming it was low because of heat soak? The DA at the time was around 1500 also.

​​​​​​In the end I had fun, probably won't be back this year. Just have another autocross coming up and the season should close out for me.

Here's all my time slips from the day, reading left to right in order of runs.

I was reallllly close
All that matters is you had fun

sshamrockk

Yea you were close, I didn't belive you because I have another 30 horse on your msm. Guess there's other variables. Was fun, but I think autocross is more my thing. Until I hit a track next season.. Then I might not wanna go back to autocross.
