Alright, i've gotta work overtime Saturday, but i'm not staying all day. 3pm latest.

From what i saw in that video, it doesn't look or sound like an exhaust leak.
While you may have a leak, that popping is something else. Seems like it just needs to be tuned.
But that means i need to get my *** in gear.

 

drove it today,it has no power whatsoever. pops more under load but only around 2-3500 rpm. a short data log issolating the event is attached. hopefully somebody can help because im getting super frustrated with this...

 

So the problem was related to the coils or the tuning within the ms. To determine this I switched back to stock ignition and imagine that it works no popping.

 

Video fail.

Time to run, ALLOFIT?

 

This is why you always change one thing at a time. Not that I abide by that rule myself.. (see build thread), but it is definitely sound advice.

Glad it works with no popping. Run stock ignition for now and enjoy a little boost!

 

Sounds like it still bogs?

 

Definitely is bogging there, I just assumed it was completely untuned. Certainly isn't popping like it was before at least.

 

Couldn't hear to well on my phone. Glad you're making progress, can't wait to see it tuned

 

i reset the map and took the video before i reset the timing, so it was off. took it for a ride down the street without the hood on it and was hitting boost cut or something but i havent messed with that.

 

Best advice ever, i generally try to live by that rule but i just got to damn excited to get it up and running.

 

Hey, i said this the day i was over.

One thing at a time.

Car just needs to be tuned at this point i think.

 

yep, at that point it was almost done though. but for the next time i will definitely do things one at a time.
as for tuning im going to do some road tuning tomorrow, cant really do any full throttle runs till the clutch is broken in. so 100-200ish miles.

 

You have an IAT in place?

 

It's currently reading ambient air temp till Saturday. Just trying to get it roughed in and the clutch somewhat broken in before next week.

 

After messing with the tune a bit and getting it kinda dialed in i have a phantom rev limiter at ~4000rpm. And unfortunately any time my laptop is hooked up and it hits this phantom rev limit it disconnects the laptop from the MS. the regular rev limit is set to 7k and over boost is at 180kpa. But its a hard cut and doesn't seem to be affected by boost.

 

I wonder if Braineack will ask you to post a datalog and/or composite log of the event.


Nah, you're smarter than that.

 

it Dc's the laptop about when it happens so this is the best i could do. I did get a different adapter to try as well.

 

If it DC's the laptop, the ECU / car is probably loosing power for that second.

 

only time i've seen that was MSI and improper spark gapping in boost when the spark would blowout.

 

good note. i forgot to reset the gap when i went back to stock ignition.
