btw ima bring a laptop so we can play around with the tune or just get some logs....its just an excuse to go for a ride in your car...lmao

 

lol, that would be cool man. What's funny is that on my way back home, a new civic si tried to race me over at lake houston parkway. First time after the third honk I put like 4 cars after like 3 secs (3rd gear roll, 55mph). I was like damn, I though he wanted to race lol. So I slowed down he honked and we went at it again , omg this time it was even more. He gave me thumbs up and pulled over to have a quick talk, he was praising the car and went on how impressive the acceleration was

Then he mentioned something about having some problems with the meth system on his other car, STI putting down 350whp . He said he went down to get tunned (using Cobb) over at horsepower factory or something like that. I think I read about it once, but never went to check it out. Have u heard of that place chris?

 

nope never heard of it...

 

nice numbers, self tune ftw.. thats a huge dyno roller btw lol

 

nice numbers carlos!

 

Thanks kev, we just have to get u going now man!

Oh man about that, the guy was cool enough to let me do the pulls myself. I stalled the dang thing about four times, but got it after the first pull lol. I though it would be like regular take off, heck no! That thing was heavy as heck! I never noticed the size of the roller untill I saw the pic. It's like two times the height of the car lol

 

well the Rican got his first tast of rebuilding a turbo....GOOD JOB BRO!!!!!!!!!

(the reason for the rebuild, not for the faint of heart or small children with laces in their shoes...lmao)



















new and old bearing




as you can see oil was cooking pretty bad and we were trying to figure out exactly why it was happening, it was a used turbo so could have been done before.

so the possibilities are
1. not enough idle after a hard run
2. clogged oil feed (i wont mention it...lol)

anyone else have any ideas?

 

yea i have a china turbo in my garage that ima rebuild since its winter and im bored

 

You mentioned pulling 1 degree of timing per PSI and was running 8 PSI on the first dyno sheet. I used the rule of thumb of pulling 1 degree per PSI but not until after 10 PSI. What is your timing setup now out of curiosity.

 

travis you gotta remember what tipe of temps they have down there... so pulling timing would be a must

 

I see.

 

If they were pulling 8 degrees for 8psi.. Car would be a TURD lol

 

lol true ish

 

Im guess your pro tune has -.5 to -1 at 6 psi

 

ummmm

23 psia -4
21 psia-2
19 psia 0


so thats about around -1 at 6

 

now imagine pulling -6 at 6 LOL Be stock almost

 

Hi, nice boob job u got
what cc injector u used? using piggybag type fuel tuning?

 

hi Ace83,
u using emanage with 550cc injector? how about the idling setting? minus to max already? or still can increase the injector cc? for example 650 or 700cc

 

I set him up with a base map that was sorta like that...not as much timeing pulled as 1degree per 1psi of boost more like 1degree per psi after 5psi. Ill send out base maps kinda like that for two reasons, one you never know if a newb will try to use low octaine fuel and two most of the time i dont know what kind of temps they normally see.

anyways Carlos has been doing his own tuning and playing around with e85...I give him mad props for going out on his own and experimenting...last time i did anything to his tune was prolly like 6months ago and i had his timeing set to roughly 1degree per psi of boost after6psi (been a while so i could be wrong). Im sure he has since gotten more aggressive with it since blending e85 into the mix.

 

ooh, playing with E85 is fun.. i have been wasting more money on gas than ever before lol.. looks like he's using his turbo as a barbecue grill on the week ends lol nice to see someone doing their own rebuild..
