rings for all 4 . 1 new piston. hone all 4

 

well thats wat im gonna do if the piston is jacked. i wanna pull my oil pan but on a military installation i cant do that in the parking lot but il leaning towards taking it out friday. but i need to figure out how to connect to the fic.

 

Don't you just hook up to the fic with a USB cable? Been awhile since I screwed with one.

 

Sorry I havent had a chance to chime in. Unfortunately Ive been working alot lately. I made a rough street tune on the car, but at the time it still had the breakup issue around 5.5-6k so I didnt get to spend a ton of time on it. Heres a screen cap of the last ignition map, I believe total timing was somewhere around 14* advance at redline on 21 psi. It definitely needed more timing, but I advised him to find a good tuner to dial it in on the dyno. Also fueling was really conservative (esp for low comp) being around 11.2-11.6:1 at WOT

 

And of course I forget to attach the screen cap...

 

thanks for chiming in nick. i started pulling a bunch of crap out the engine bay tonight. i may try to get the pan pulled off tomorrow so i can see if there is anything laying in there really hoping its somethin in the head messed up

 

you guys don't have auto skill shops on base there?

 

yea we do thats where im gonna pull the motor out. i jus didnt feel like towing it down to the shop yet but friday morning wen i get off work its goin down. im really curious to see wat all happened to this thing.

 

14 degrees at 21 PSI sounds quite aggressive for timing regardless of AFR.

WOT, stock at 8 PSI on a 57 trim the stock ECU commands 18-22* of advance. Adding another 13 PSI and only dropping 4-8* sounds steep. Was there an EGT gauge hooked up?

 

Unfortunately no egt connected - remmber this is on 8.5:1 comp, not stock bottom end. Most of the other guys Im familiar with running low comp built bottom end run 15+ deg advance near redline on 20+psi

 

Although that is on 93 octane, however prob not much difference between that and 91 (all we have here in OK)

 

Don't forget it's contingent upon turbo efficiency, fuel used, turbo and intercooler efficiency.... among other things.

 

That brings back a memory I forgot until now.... I remember suggesting a more efficient intercooler before considering upping the boost. It got to a point where we were turning up the boost yet the car wasn't making any more power. At 18psi the intercooler got hot enough to where It nearly burned my hand... on the outlet end ( with 22mph headwind). The air intake temperature could have definately been a contributor to his detonation. I believe he was using an intercooler from the dezod s1 kit. If he had WMI Id say no biggy, I ran 17psi with no intercooler at all before seeing 340 degree IAT's (before nozzle).

 

justin i understand your concern about the intercooler being an issue because of it heat soaking on the dyno but i can tell you ive driven my car across country during the summer from delaware to virginia with no heat soak issues. and i went to the track one night and made a few pulls i wanna say it was high 90 at night time. did a few pulls on the street with a cammed gto and some modified mustang and when i got done the intercooler was cool to the touch. the night that my car messed up it was maybe 75 degrees outside and i wasnt running the hell out of the car so i do not see that being an issue in this scenario. thendawg and 1slowtc are both running this ic and are having no issues what so ever with heat soaking.

 

Larger power goals demand more aggressive components. Nothing new or different there.

 

thread title is typical of a subaru forum.


timing isn't very conservative on such poopy gas. i bet it wouldn't have popped on e85

 

to bad they dont have e85 where i live.

 

I wish my car could be corn fed

 

Having just tuned an AEM EMS yesterday on a stock motor tC at 10 PSI with a custom ATP based setup and a ZPI/ebay intercooler, the car was only able to get about 10-11* of advance at WOT because of the setup. The knock sensors where showing knock at at AFR of 11.7-11.9:1 and about 14*. Once the timing was dropped to 10-11* and AFRs where dropped to 11.3-11.5:1, knock subsided. We had datalogged plenty of parameters including EGTS which registered at a peak of 1350*F. If any one is interested in seeing a datalog, I will post screen shots from AEM LOG.

 

well paul i will interested this time next year wen i come back from deployment. im def goin with a standalone wasnt sure which unit yet i wanted to do some more research. so expect a visit from me. and by then i will be running a bigger fmic and maybe WMI. but anyways todays the day that im pulling the motor. and would you happen to have a pdf file of the shop manual for the tc?
