wilco. I'll be home @1700. Tighten her up, make a pull or two and bounce back with updates. I'll have 9 hours of time tomorrow to do any conceivable data-logging. I'm just surprised that rod tension would have gone unchecked during shop tuning; it had been mentioned before when discussing the 28psi limit on the dyno.

Have you/they tried an mbc? Just for testing purposes to see if it resolves the top end fluctuation.

psyber_0ptix 08-03-2017 11:56 AM

I haven't, I just picked the car up on Sunday after having dropped it off May 11. :rofl:

There was a period of bouncing ideas around, but because it ended up going through a middle person, I didn't often get to speak to Tuan, the tuner. Only for the spark stuff he called directly when I was in San Diego. I've been on several work trips so a lot of time was troubleshooting over phone and here on MT.net. I'm not sure what was done independently outside what I've been told.

they loosened off the wastegate when you agreed to make it drivable when they thought it was scary :P

placing bets.

Remove wastegate hose, do street pull :fawk:

actually his boost duty is 100% at 7k, so basically....

...my theory is loose rod (hehe) and the EFR bcs is a hunk of junk. I've had at least a couple fail or malfunction before. Gordon's is a prime example
I'm not convinced yet that he's at the flow limit of his ic

aidandj 08-03-2017 02:41 PM

? I see 50%.

18psi 08-03-2017 02:42 PM

on his "e85" setting. that log is on low ethanol content so everything is quite turned down.


...that actually reminds me: I need to slightly fatten up his pump gas ve table cause it's a bit lean at 12afr on ~28% E

aidandj 08-03-2017 02:43 PM

You have more information than I do. Not fair.

18psi 08-03-2017 02:44 PM

don't worry, we'll poast moar logs once we make progress. nothing to hide
