I was faster with NO MODS

[DSM BLUE TURBO]

Well, last time i was at the track, the 2g FWD went 14.7 @ 93 with all season blackies, FREE MODS + Filter and Greddy type S.. Since then, im on lighter 16's with Z rated tires set a 28 psi, Dejon 3 inch intake, blitz BOV, lower ic pipe,greddy 2.5 DP, 2.5 cat back opened before the muffler, MBC set @ 18 psi but creeping to 20, 550s, 255 walbro, SAFC.. i dont have a egt or A/F gauge yet, so i think im rich... but i leaned it out on the bottom...

anyways this was @ SAC raceway I was only able to trap 93 MPH ONCE the others were low 92's. times were 15.1-15.2 WTF???

Should I at least trap higher? ET doesnt matter right now, cause i need a clutch and quaiffe first, but should I have trapped a higher MPH..

the 93 mph run i shifted into fourth right before the end, the 15.4 run i had i shifted @ 6k each time. .. 60ft were 2.4 but im more concerned with MPH then utimantely hookin up right now..

i think im running rich still.. anyone have any ideas for the AFC settings? and any other tips, or can someone tell me what they think is up?

ok well i just read what i posted and it actually doesn't sound right with the AFC. a buddy of mine helped me with the settings, so there not just way out of wack. he's runnng a haltek(sp?) so im sure the settings he gave me where better than what i could have done, but yes i know without the guages im lost. i do have a logger, but i need the cable...

Anyone ? i think its just the tuning and 60ft.. any ideas?

Trying to tune with out a logger is like pissing in the wind. You can do it but its just not a good thing. You have no way to tell what is happing. THis is why your car is slower now. get a loggger and get it setup right.

or you can do it cheap,play with your afc settings,make a pass,play some more,make a pass,etc. etc.

 

[FastRthenU]

I would not recomend doing that. There are just to many different variables. Its not like you can drive the exact same every time. If you can you should drive as a carrer

sounds to me ur high throttle settings should be like -12 to -15. thast if ur safc is evern installed right. make sure ur bov is rerouted back into the intake pipe and at least tune off of o2 voltage for now. u want ur car to run like .91 at wot in 3rd and 4th gear pulls. make sure u floor it in ever gear when u run and ride the clutch off the line so u dont spin too much. if your car is done right then ur driving sux, but if u ran a 14.7 with basically no mods then sounds like u can drive so ur car must be all messed up. u have full exhaust and its slower? not good. the only thing i would do is try and tune off o2's and u can just run ur car up the block 100 times trying different things cuz u really dont have that many mods. on stock turbo u shouldnt be runnin more then like 15 or 16 si cuz anything above that is just hot useless air. turni it down to 15 and run ur car up the block. you cant do too much damage at 15 psi with just a safc. try negative 15's across high settings and turbo ur boost down. if ur gettin creep then get rid of ur mbc and run a 5 inch piece of hose from the compressor nipple to the wastegate actuator and u will run about 14 or 15 psi with no creep at all. good luck

thanks for the info guys. I have my handspring with the software i just need the cable that plugs into the car.. so if anyone is selling one or know where i can get one for cheap email me @ [email protected]...

as far as the -12 to -15 % settings i was doing that at first, then my buddy said i shouldn't be leaning the car out that much. so i scratched that idea and used his settings. it felt a little smoother and my gas mileage was better so i used his...anyone have any other ideas for settings as of right now?

and as far as just running a hose from the comp cover nipple to the wastegate actuator.. i've never heard of that before, has anyone ever done that? sounds like a good idea. but at the same time have never heard it before.. anyone?

oh and BTW

the 20g and 660s will be here in 2 weeks
