Default CEL update.

I just wanted to update everyone ont the status of my CEL problem.

I went to Ripp Modifications yet in Staten Island and had Perry take a look at my car.
You guys were right... The prevous wiring they did for my emanage was horrible. Perry fixed it all up ... turned on the car... NO CEL!
Then he tuned it , found that my previous tuner had it running tooo rich. He tuned it and dyno'd it, turned up the boost a lil bit and my baby is running wonderful.
I'm at 8 psi and 245 hp!! It's sooo lovely!!! I'll post my chart soon.

Any problems with ur tC .. go to Perry @ Ripp Mods!!!
I love these guys!!!

Ripp Modds and Perry have been doing a handfull of Scion lately it seems. They are good people.

What other mods do you have done? Exhaust?

Glad you are happy Ronnie, waiting for you to get the ignition part of the harness so we can get more control and maybe a little more power.

I thought the Greddy kit ran at 8.5psi? 245whp 8psi with an auto and Evo2 make's me happy since I have a manny with the Evo2 and zpi spipe. Maybe I'll get 250-260 on 8.5psi?

Hey Gizmo, how is your transmission shifting? Is it slipping at redline?

That's what I'm wondering.
From a dead stop with mine it doesn't shift fast enough going into second at 5 PSI.

Can you add a little more detail on "doesn't shift fast enough"

In my case the tranny is working fine at 6PSI...It's the fuel trims and the BOV that cause havok with the A/F when the tranny is shifting. I've tried manual shifting the car and it all goes away. Everytime the tranny shifts while accelerating hard the shifts happen so fast you load up on fuel because of the BOV vents out.

It's not a huge issue but I've noticed the car going way richer between shifts since I added the BOV. I've got the HKS ssbov and my model does not have a way of adjusting the pre-load on the spring. I wish I could tighten it up a bit so it only vents when I lift my foot off the throttle.

I don't know if she's got tranny slip - if she doesn't come on here today I'll ask her later. I'll be seeing her at the Cherry Hill meet. I'll get those dyno sheets scanned too..
