Looking for a place that can provide awd dyno tune services, specifically for an Evo X, but I like these forums better than the evo ones. :p Anything in or near Iowa?

My brother has a 97 TSi with I think a dejontool uicp and an hks bov, if I remember correctly. The car only has 34k miles. I've been driving it recently, and noticed some hesitation when boosting ~10lbs merging onto the interstate a couple days ago. Since then I can't push more than a couple lbs...

I have FIC 650's and am running GMAFT and I'm having an issue with overly lean conditions as well. I've got my mid and wot dials set for 6, which is what, 35% more fuel? and I still get small amounts of knock. My o2 usually reads around .91-.93 under boost, I don't have a wideband only a palm...

It's been a couple years since I originally bought my uicp kit, so it was out of warranty... But they did send me a new tb elbow for a reasonable price, and it was shipped very fast. This time around I also got silicone couplers and higher quality tbolt clamps, it should fit better which will...

So I've had a weird issue lately where my car runs perfectly fine below ~10lbs of boost, but any higher, or if I build boost very quickly, my car bogs bad and backfires a bit. I was replacing a reducer to my smic outlet, because it was kinda crappy, and the coupler from my GMAF to my TB elbow...

So I resolved my knocking issues by richening up the maps across the board. Now I'm running a bit rich, but logging no knock, which is awesome. Right now I'm running 12lbs on my 16g w/650cc injectors, gmaft and supporting mods. The problem I've got is that when I go WOT and push my boost up to...

Could be grounding itself on something. Check your tps splice?

I was running some logs today to try and diagnose a persistent knock issue I've had since installing my 650cc injectors and gmaft and noticed that using MMCD it reported my timing advance at 750rpm idle as 8degrees. At the risk of sounding newbish, shouldn't it be more like 5degrees?

I'm anxious to find out what you discover because I have a feeling it is the root of my problem as well. If there's anything specific you want me to check just in case, lemme know.

I have an almost identical situation. I'm running an evo16g with 650cc injectors and a 3" gmaft. Right now I'm only pushing 14lbs and I'm afraid of damaging something. According to my logs, whenever I do a pull and push more than like 8-10lbs I log 20-30 counts of knock with no audible signs in...

I double checked my injectors, and I purchased 650cc ones from dsmparts, so I doubt they would have sent me the wrong ones. It's possible that the maft is reporting different airflow numbers, but I'm pretty sure it's designed to compensate, but maybe not.I just keep getting weird knock...

I have a gm maft for tuning, logging with mmcd on my palm. I richened it up a bit and tried another run, still getting knock but it seems to be lower, around 10-15. I'll bump it up another 5% at wot and see if that helps. If I remember correctly, it switches to the wot fuel settings at 8+ psi...

I logged my car awhile back and was getting like 30+ counts of knock at wot. I figured it was my fuel pump choking, stock still stock wiring with 650cc injectors and an evoIII 16g, was running at 15lbs, so I cut it to 12lbs. Just logged it again, and while I'm not knocking quite as bad, I'm...

I've got a medium size fmic core, trying to install it on my 1g. I've got bends and piping but will need to custom fit them, basically trying to go around the drivers side for the inlet and up to the stock uicp location for outlet, already have a blowthru uicp.Basically my questions are...

I've logged my car a couple times before, but just went to check it today after not doing much with it for awhile, and am having problems getting tunerstein to initiate the log properly. I have two data cables, one through serial and one through rj45, and have the same problem with both. I start...

I haven't checked my knock sensor yet, though if it was malfunctioning I would think that it would cause it to report knock across the board, not only at WOT and mid-high rpms.As for loss of power, yeah, I do notice it bog down a bit. But "huge"? IDK, it's noticable, but not as much as...

1g with evo 16g, 650cc injectors, maft, uicp, exhaust, stock fp.Ran a log the other day and noticed between 20-30 counts of knock after about 4k RPMs, boosting 15lbs. No knock at lower rpms. That's kinda... bad. lol. The odd thing is that I have my setup tuned pretty rich, rich enough that...

When I first installed my MAFT I noobed it up and reversed the flow, had similar issues. Would bog down terribly whenever I'd even think about boosting. Flipped it around and it worked great. :thumb: If that isn't your issue, I'd check for boost leaks maybe and of course check your base fuel...

I wouldn't tune it myself while driving, I'd log it and tweak after. The maft I have should allow me to adjust the afr well enough without needing another form of engine management. Buying a real wideband is definitely a good suggestion... I was also considering just finding a shop with an AWD...

Thanks for the replies. It's actually a 190lph, I forgot, it's been awhile since I messed with it. :) I've done all the work on my car myself so far, but I may just take it in to have the fp installed... If I remember correctly, it's the fitting for the fuel line that was being a pain, it was...

98k miles. I do have a rewire kit laying around here somewhere...

I've got a set of koni's with eibach prokits with I think a 1.5" drop on my 93 AWD. I was told when I bought them (used) that they would work fine for an AWD, and had no problems putting em in, but now the drop in the back is about .5-1" lower than front and the camber on my rear wheels is...

Ran a log with tunerstein on my laptop the other day and was registering a noticable amount of knock at WOT > 4.5k RPMs or so. I have a 1g tsi with an evo 16g, ported tb and o2 housing, 2.5" straight thru exhaust, 650cc injectors, gmaft tuned relatively rich over default for that size of...

I tried searching and couldn't find specifically what I was looking for... I've got a black 93 TSi and want to kind of darken the tails on it for a smoked appearance, kinda like the 3rd gen rx7's have. Wanna keep it thin enough so the stock colors show through without lights on. I bought some...

X-Wires wireless internet, 1.5mbit up/down... Or faster if I feel like it, considering I co-own it, hah.

I'm addicted, play on Alleria and have a 41 Paladin. It's fun stuff! Speaking of, I'm close to 42... Cya'll later haha.

About a year ago I had my 93 TSi AWD for winter, and a 94 Mazda RX-7 for gits and shiggles. The compression on my FD was dropping tho and I didn't have the cash to throw down for a rebuild... :( So sold it, paid off all my loans and modded my talon.

Best Buy here, I hate working retail because of the holiday hours, but for a college job it's about the best I can find. I haven't seen my extended family in over 5 years though because I have to work on all the big holidays. :(

Ok, I'll be a bit more specific. I was going about 60mph and proceeded to begin braking about a block away when I saw the light turn yellow and knew that I wouldn't make it through the light before it turned red.I didn't slam the brakes, but pressed firmly and they slowed me down rapidly to...

I was driving home tonight, and got on the throttle a bit for fun but the light ahead of me turned red, so I had to stop pretty quickly. I hit the brakes and they gripped well at the start, but then they felt like they were slipping and I ended up drifting partway into the intersection. It...

You think that'd pass inspection in CA?

yup, you can change options... tell her to make sure the pedals share one axis, or just have her reconfig inside nfsu to recognize the correct axis if she can.

The past 2 cars i've owned with alternators that crapped out on me have had batteries die at the same time.

The Punisher really isn't a good example of someone addicted to alcohol... Sure, he drinks a lot, but it's not even a sub-theme in the story. Find one where the people involved actually put some effort into making it realistic.

Took the words outta my mouth, excellent movie and perfect example of someone suffering from alcohol addiction.

It's not my old one then, it had at least 3 owners. Still sweet though.

Where'd you buy it at? I live in Iowa and used to have a 90 tsi awd blue with silver bottom with about 120k miles, I sold it about 2 years ago. It'd be funny if it was the same car though, lol. Mine was in much worse shape however. Looks good, I always did like that color.

Hmm I kinda like it too. Definately diggin the rims, gunmetal with a polished lip would be better though hah. We'll see how it's priced with the upgrades.

I'm having problems installing tunerstein... Running win xp pro, I installed all the files I think but it keeps giving me a missing library error. Anyone have any luck getting this to work on winxp?

If you have any plans on making this car faster, don't get an N/A. If you get an N/A, get it because it looks good and is economically practical, not because you want it to be fast. That isn't to say that there aren't fast N/A's out there, but without turboing it later or adding nitrous, you'd...

I've got a logger cable for my 1g dsm that has a male end on it to connect to the female end of a PDA serial sync cable. Problem is that my pda has never worked as a logger, so it's useless for me. But, I just got a new laptop that has a serial port on it, and I know there is logger software for...

I like it, looks like the 2gb talon front but more aggressive and bigger intakes.

Wow, I've got a 93 TSi AWD insured through Progressive, with 50/100k damage and 250 comprehensive deductable and I only pay $100/mo... I've had 4 speeding tickets, and 1 DUI two years ago. You're getting kinda ripped off man.

Man, what ever happened to being able to download a demo without having to sign up for stupid crap or wait hours to connect? I mean, we pay $50+ a month for high speed connections and can't even use em. *rant*

Mine did the same thing last winter, and I haven't tried to figure it out yet... Kinda annoying though trying to change stuff in the dark, hehe. I also think that my rear defroster doesn't work at all now because of it, not just not light up.

You'd likely spend less money converting it straight to a fwd 4g63t instead of trying to turbo your 1.8... Could probably even find a 6bolt w/everything from a junkyard for like $500.

If I were you, if you can afford it I'd buy a big T28 turbo (factory fit bolt on). That'll give you more room to grow for hp numbers. If you're gonna mod, you have to start from the ground up tho. New intake and exhaust first, then new intercooler piping and boost controller, then injectors and...

I haven't heard anything I haven't liked from Prodigy yet. Even their older stuff, like Experience and Music for the Jilted Generation are good. Their new album is definately different but I like Spitfire and Girls a lot, and the rest of the tracks are pretty decent.

I had my valve cover vent capped off for awhile before I knew what it really did, and I think it caused some small problems (burning oil at high rpms, probably increased the pressure in the valve cover). I have since run a line from it to a small air filter and haven't noticed any problems since.

My brother and I both ordered our exhausts from RNR. He got a 2.5" downpipe, high flow cat and bullet muffler w/2.5" tip, his took approx 3 weeks to arrive (which isn't too bad). I ordered a 2.5" ss dp, test pipe, ss bullet muffler w/3" tip, but mine took two months to arrive, and I was forced...
