I'm thinking about building an auto, this looks interesting. Powertrain Control Solutions - TCM-2000

Does anyone still reprogram the tcu?

No they have not been. The car is actually a 91 but yeah same thing lol. Going to try some 550's today I think

Ok so we got this damn thing going again tonight and here is how it goes/went. Take the car out and it runs good at 10 psi, turn up the boost to say 13-15 and it falls on it's face and starts to miss. It acts like it's loading up/missing even at idle. If you shut it off and let it cool down it...

Do you have any experience with boost control in something like AEM EMS?

New problem now, last night we took it out for a drive and the boost controller was out of wack, car was running like 23 psi. We turned it down to about 12 psi and the car wants to stumble and miss real bad. We tried new plugs and wires, another MAF and discovered a major boost leak. We fixed...

How do you like the link controlling the boost?

yep still has a few bugs in it but at least it will go down the road now lol

The walbro had a bad o-ring causing it to loose pressure.

fixed

I believe the dam hta86 is the largest, I believe it's around 75 lbs/min

AEM is an amazing tuning system, it is more complicated than link but i believe it is a better tuning system.

Is there a way to tune the tcu so that it can still shift itself?

what do you mean by cam manipulation? What stall speed are you running?

How is the auto on the street, I honestly do not know much about autos. I have heard that they are or can be laggy then the power comes on like a light switch.

I think I am going to go T3It's not FP but who does the coating for them.

I didn't think there was a 3576? I am also looking at the 3582.

I think after reading that post by buschur the 3076 is going to be the way to go.

Are you talking about a dsm housing or a t3?

Well this is all according to memory....for starters I was contacted by him and he said he wanted to do all of my coatings for free as long as I would kind of advertise for him. I agreed but stated that my car was still in Cleveland and that it would be a while before I got it back. I was asked...

I am thinking that if I am going to start from scratch it might just be better to go T3, more specifically the 3076. I can get a good tune on pump and a nasty tune on e85, a set of fic 2150s, double pumper and go from there. The 3076 sure looks impressive. I won't opt for that ceramic coating...

I will still be able to rev to 9000 if I want to so maybe a slightly larger turbo would be best.

I figure a 2.3 should help spool things a bit faster than a 2.0 would.

I no longer have that car, trying to build something that is a bit more street able. Not trying to wait to 6500-7000 rpm to make boost lol. I had honestly considered a hta68 but I don't think I will be happy with that level of power. I guess my question should be what will make 450+ hp on...

Hey most things are going to be downsized compared to the last set up lol

No ron shearer is a great fabricator I am just a friend of his. he did a lot of fab work on my last car

ok, thanks for the info. Sounds like a great setup.

It helps a lot, thank you.What o2 housing are you using?

I think if I was going to go that big I would just go with an 86hta. I really want to stay misty housing

Awesome, thanks for the input. I was thinking maybe a black. I have never run a stroker myself but I like the idea for a street car. I am looking to make 450-500 if I can on pump, although that may be a stretch. How much boost are you running and at what rpm do you see full boost with the 2.3...

So I was going to buy another 1G (a running car) but I think I would rather buy a roller and just build it myself. I am thinking about having buschur build me a 2.3 rpm motor like he has in his evo. So what I will have is a 2.3 that can rev to 9000+ I want to be able to run it on 93 as there...

I'm starting to wonder if it isn't the Walbro.

hard to imagine having two bad mafs but who knows

My main concern with this car is that it will not rev up, when you first start it it will but as soon as you let it idle is will not. it just bogs down.

going to be hard to replace that car considering it only had 55000 miles on it but then again I may just build another evo.

yeah I have been pretty busy with school. I really regret selling my car, I don't regret getting rid of the parts but the shell, that was a mistake.

Yeah I should have started there but I was to lazy to drive and get my tester lol. I can not wait to get this figured out, the car is super clean and been sitting in a garage since 1995. The guy my friend bought it off of had had it for about a year and never even drove it

all but the FIAV,O2 sensor and boost leak. I ran out of time and he is on vacation until monday. I will continue to check for problems when he gets back. I replaced the entire tb with the one I had on my car which everything ran perfectly as all the sensors only had 50k miles on them. What...

Ok, so a friend of mine bought a 91 tsi yesterday and it has a strange problem, then again it's a strange car. The car is a 91, someone put a 1990 harness in it and switched all the components (ignition, throttle body, cas) with 90 parts yet the edu is from a 91. The car wants to run rough and...

Swpped out a CAS and mpi relay today with no luck. If you pull the cas and crank the car over and turn the cas by hand still no spark. I will check the voltage for drop.

Car is perfectly in time. when you spin the cam angle sensor by hand there is a spark but when you put it back on to the car and try to start it there is no spark.

friend of mine bought a 1g of a guy who said the car died on a quick trip around the block.there's power to the ECU but no spark until you stop cranking. What could cause this?

Yes they came with the ems

Yeah I guess you could go that way lol.

well I guess I could always switch map sensors.

Now does anyone know if the connection is the same on the cable as the AEM map sensor?

Does anyone know if you can use the plug and play speed density harness to wire in the sensors for use with aem ems?

Hell for the price I'm just oing to buy the jmf one and some intercooler pipe.

Does anyone know where I could get a flange for throttle body so that I could make my own tb elbow?
