It may be too low for drag. it doesn't help that clutch dumped around 5000rpm either. launch control didn't activate. Everyone in the stands thought it was cool haha

I finally got my EBC hooked up. I gotta go threw the settings of course. Though I'm finally back up at +15psi.
Am I the only one that has crazy MAT correction values?

that doesn't look right. at all
I've never seen a car that requires more than a couple % between 60-80 or 80-100

*edit - though I'm on ms3 and I think you're on ms2 and I already forgot how ms2 is setup. can't see it being much different though

:dunno:
My AFR's go lean right after 80f thus why it skyrockets.
Which I remember reading Brain say something about MS doing that after 80F before but that was a while ago.

I would think the Ideal Gas Law doesn't just change for those who have MS2 from MS3, though it does make you moar awesome then me :(

Ive just never seen it that drastic on any tune I've ever seen.

20% increase is seriously a crazy amount of fuel to need between two temp points. I don't think I've seen anyones whole correction curve swing that much for the whole spread.

I dunno, maybe I'm wrong. But I would look into that if I were you.

Impuls 11-25-2013 08:23 PM

Thank you, I appreciate the incite man. I'll contact DIY after they get back about my 2nd set if burnt components on a MS board. Or I'll try looking into the MAT correction/ fueling code.

Also when a fuel/VE map peaks at a certain point before redline (5000-5500rpm) then starts tapering of near redline. Does that mean the turbo runs out of the ability to feed the engine? Thus, too small? Or is it kinda normal with small engine/ huge injectors?

Am I cool yet?

I must be doing something wrong.

At about 23 seconds you can see spark escaping my ignition wire.
Shitty MSM ignition & turbo? Not to mention running pressure well over what it's meant to run.
My AFR (yes shitty Prosport) says I'm in the 12-11.8 range. The dyno's AFR says I go pig rich at ~3900rpm

Doing all my wheel bearings:
Front hubs are from Planetmiata.
Rear bearings are from parts store I know work for. Going to have them pressed in.

Also looking to replace/spin my rotors too for my Hawk blue pads.

Suggestions? grease for hubs?

Whatever rotors you can get cheapest, centric if you care about having a name brand. Turning them is a complete waste, unless its an auto-x car and you're turning brand new rotors down to the service limit to save weight. :giggle:

AMS Dominator Grease is the only choice for the hubs.

Impuls 12-04-2013 08:03 PM

Typical, the most expensive. Any dealers?

Also, what's the thread of the front hubs?
My computer here at O'Reilly's is showing two part numbers
615-145: m18x1.50.
oe part numbers: d06y33042, e9bz3b477a, na0133042a, na0133042b
05112: m20x1.50.
oe part numbers: same

They are also 30mm for the NB I suppose.

I got mine from Track Speed :party: You got to contact them directly to order.

I tried that. I made an order, got a confirmation email, card was never charged, never shipped, called them, said you had to be a dealer to buy direct.

shlammed 12-05-2013 09:39 AM

Odd, I bought direct from amsoil before.

Thought I did buy the preferred membership as well. (good discount of 25%, paid for more than itself on my one purchase of engine oil, transmission fluid and diff fluid)

Dyno's sniffer is wrong. You wouldn't have a curve like that if your AFRs were like that.

MSM ignition shouldn't be holding you back yet. I made a bit more power than that on my MSM on stock ignition with no crazy issues, and my tach and speedo still work. :party::makeout:


I'm behind on things... what turbo are you running now?

Did you see the sparks escaping my wire in the video?
I figured mine couldn't be off, I leaned out fuel a bit in top end oh the heat soaked 190hp run and on the way home it felt like detonation was happening on WOT, like the car would jerk forward a bit AFRs would read ~12.8. so I riched it back up looked at plugs the next day and they look bad. rich on the outside lean white in the middle. looked at the top of my pistons and there was black and then a spot of metal that looked pitted.. after researching about it I got insta pissed.

I still have the stock MSM turbo. Stock exhaust size, gutted cat and glass pack.

Your ignition may be in need of servicing, but the reality is that a healthy MSM ignition is capable of supporting more power than the MSM turbo will put out.

Now, knowing that you're using a stock MSM turbo, your power numbers don't look bad.
