  1. ECMlink Help with 92 Galant VR4 car stalling while driving ECM log

    Thank you everyone who spent the time to look into my silly issue...I have decided to send the ECU to ECMTuning to hopefully fix the issue.

  3. ECMlink Help with 92 Galant VR4 car stalling while driving ECM log

    Update: Still having stalling issues-same symptoms as mentioned before....stalling out of the blue after going crazy lean-even after doing the following: 1. MPI tested in spec 2.

  5. ECMlink Help with 92 Galant VR4 car stalling while driving ECM log

    Good morning fellow DSM/VR4 enthusiasts! I am in desperate need of far more intelligent Car-Gurus on this one! In the past months I have had my ever-increasing joy of a 92 Galant VR4 completely stall out on me on four occasions. The occurrences include the Wide-band sensor going super lean-more...

  7. ECMlink COVR4355 Huge Boost Spike???Need Help From all of you awesome peeps :)

    Well after Vegas' troubleshooting and swapping out the silly bung in the compressor with an open one...I can not only control boost, but more importantly there is no boost spikes and it pulls like a beauty :hellyeah:! Love the boost...19 lbs is not enough though ;)Would love to still get...
  8. ECMlink COVR4355 Huge Boost Spike???Need Help From all of you awesome peeps :)

    Yep you were right good sir...but what the heck is this tiny pinhole in the bung for...a bleed pin? Can I just reinstall another open bung and use that as the boost source?

Keep up the...

    Vegas you rock good sir! Wise-men think alike...Brett was saying the same thing via PM. He is right about going the DSMLINK 1g bcs control way-he made an extremely easy wiki...just felt the hallman I had laying around would do it nicely? Still I wish I could figure out why the bung on the...

  13. Street Build bkrathwohl's Galant VR4 #1228/2000

    Lol...I second Diambo and lived's post regarding looking good and the plate-trying to either have a lisp or a Elmer Fudd tone for the pronunciation of the plate :P Well done, would love to see a video of a pull or two :hellyeah:
  14. Street Build bkrathwohl's Galant VR4 #1228/2000

    Great Work! Loving the build and looking forward to seeing her roar :) WRX and a VR4...which one do you prefer-driving, enjoyment, comfortability, etc?
  15. GSTwithPSI Galant VR4 1837 of 2000

    Beautiful VR4 Brett! Magnificent work and looking forward to the dyno and 1/4 mile videos. Yeah I am sold on the fp3052-30lbs at 4k wow-due to your build ;p Keep up the great work buddy!
  16. 10.7@128 First Time Out!

    WOW!!! Well done...love to see that video-incredible 60ft time :) What was your peak timing at if I may ask? Also any idea what your lb/min are? Awesome job and looking forward to reading more about your incredible build!
  17. Dsmkauai's (Sleepy G) 91 gvr4 #1633

    Oh my word man... I am so sorry, what a beautiful car. I hope and pray you can salvage it. It sure sounds like you were extremely fortunate that all parties were able to walk away from the accident. Just not that beautiful VR4...I had my 91VR4 totaled because of a retard running a stop sign and...
  18. ECMlink COVR4355 First 1/4 mile pass on E85

    My goodness....no wonder people fall in love with and don't want to leave Hawai :p need pics of that beauty . I am running E85. I will be playing with my peak timing and will try and safely get to 18 to 19 peak timing without increasing boost-hoping not to lift the head. Regarding tire...
  19. ECMlink COVR4355 First 1/4 mile pass on E85

    NICE!!! Those are some impressive numbers, especially with a 14b...I take it that was in Hawaii at sea-level? I agree whole-heatedly about not only the timing-was running only 15 degrees at the peak; but also seat-time. Thank you for all of your encouragement. It's funny looking over my very...
  20. General Dyno results are in guys!

    Love it amsrn-I am learning from all the contributors regarding these amazing machines (even with their flaws). Now we just need to see that red-beast in action down the quarter-mile :thumb: Just wanted to thank everyone for keeping this post alive with the increase in applicable information for...

    Gorgeous! What glorious work...aren't you supposed to be racing today :P Hoping you have a video or two to post as well. Good luck and keep up the great work!
  22. ECMlink COVR4355 First 1/4 mile pass on E85

    Thank you Marty and everyone else for your aid in bringing these numbers down yourselves through the sharing of your esteemed knowledge regarding these awesome cars! Cannot wait to share the 12 second pass in the next month or so :) What tire pressure does everyone run on their stock tires for...
  23. ECMlink COVR4355 First 1/4 mile pass on E85

    So true boostdawd...my buddy and I were laughing at my hilarious attempt to drive this beast (to my defense it was my first drag race in over a decade with a super silly pro-tree style light)-I try to emulate a certain someone so my yes is my yes and my no is my no :P The night went 13.75; 14.9...
  24. ECMlink COVR4355 First 1/4 mile pass on E85

    lol vegas...I guess a bigger turbo(j/k-reading alot about Holset 35's and 40's) :p whats a good 60 on street tires- 1.7 ? at 30 lbs of boost dropping it at 5k seems like certain death for the trannie and axles :P Thoughts? Thank you
  25. ECMlink COVR4355 First 1/4 mile pass on E85

    Here is the 13.75 pass as well...that was awesome running against a Z06 vette-lost by .3 seconds though If I had any talent that run-a 2.4 60 and a 1.4 reaction time it would have been a far different storyhttps://vid.me/NM6P

  27. ECMlink COVR4355 First 1/4 mile pass on E85

    Dont laugh everyone... first drag race in nearly a decade with a pro-tree...whatever that is :P DA was insane at nearly 8,000 altitude at Western Slope Drag-way in Clifton, CO. Fastest time was 13.51 against a tuned Golf-R-Auto on 116 racegas (he ran a 12.86). Felt like I had a lot more power on...
  28. ECMlink 3rd Times a Charm E85 magic-corn juice/SD first attempt

    Brett...you rock good sir, thank you for your patience and willingness to aid through 3 different configurations on my behalf. I am so thankful for all of you wise men and tuners alike. I have learned so much from all of you in the last 3 months and honestly the VR4 runs amazing at just a...
  29. ECMlink E85 duty cycle ....

    Sorry misunderstood, brilliant though with the hks head gasket what boost are you running at only 6degrees peak? Any chance of that video :) You not only had the indecency of picking up not only one new head but two . Just kidding, at your boosts levels that is quite wise. Loving the build
  30. 1G Painting car with spray cans

    You rock good sir! Once again great job and cannot wait to attempt it myself...thank you, who can really afford a 3k or 4k paint job :p
  31. ECMlink E85 duty cycle ....

    Boy do I second that, although the men in black usually have flashing lights and are threatening to tow the car for speeding :argue:...with full 3" exhaust without the catalytic-converter it is a night and day difference and sounds amazing. By chance can you post an in-car video like before, in...
  32. 1G Painting car with spray cans

    Thats pretty impressive amsrn...great work! I would love to attempt the following with my VR4's peeling spoiler and the rock chips all over the front bumper. As you stated-the most important part being prep work, with chips and dents would your following steps suffice-have a friend who swears...
  33. ECMlink 3rd Times a Charm E85 magic-corn juice/SD first attempt

    Thank you again sir! I figured that would be the best route to blend the ve table...cannot wait to get this awesome car running fast and safe-gotta beat the wife's Coyote Mustang next week ;)
  34. ECMlink 3rd Times a Charm E85 magic-corn juice/SD first attempt

    Thank you so much good sir for your insight...I noticed when trying to get wbfactor as close to 0 I was increasing the global-closer to 0. While thw wbfactor was getting closer my VE was starting to exceed 100. Thank you for confirming the need to retard timing a bit prior to increasing boost...
  35. ECMlink 3rd Times a Charm E85 magic-corn juice/SD first attempt

    LOL...most certainly not good sir...3rd gear pull to 95 mph. Boy that would be super-fun though wouldnt it :p Number Five is of attempts not gear :P
  36. ECMlink 3rd Times a Charm E85 magic-corn juice/SD first attempt

    After the single-spring mod-via EVO site...I have it buttoned down with no leaks till about 21 to 22 lbs and then it slowly leaks. On these pulls though it is buttoned up. With the boost at 20 lbs does it look okay as it sits now via the 5th log pull?

    GST with Psi and Livdsm thank you once again for still tuning into my logs...here are two that I have played with a bit and have tried to find the sweet spot with little to no knock...still dont understand why I am getting 3 to 5-crazy 15 count of knock at .6 and 3500-4000 rpm cell?-counts of...
  39. ECMlink Analyze first SD pull after MAFT disaster :)

  40. ECMlink Analyze first SD pull after MAFT disaster :)

    Thank you all once again for your incredible knowledge and aid in tuning this amazing Galant VR4 :) I have adjusted the TP to read 0% at a stand still and then after some driving it goes back up to 1%-??? Still trying to find that perfect + or 1 of 10 at 30 for the biss. Have increased the...
  41. ECMlink Ecmlink GM maf tuning

    3) GM MAF sensors are an ass pain. FWIW, this guy just went through some issues with his, and ended up ditching it...I'd consider doing the same to be honest: http://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/maft-v2-vr4-tuning-first-attempt-help-please.511093/@COVR4355 can give you some honest feedback...
  42. ECMlink Analyze first SD pull after MAFT disaster :)

    That's what I had thought too-isn't ones goal only to adjust biss for the isc? I know in Dr Turbo stuff it says to have the idle boxes on an sd tune to be in the range of 55-60? Thank you
  43. ECMlink Analyze first SD pull after MAFT disaster :)

    Here is another pull after adjusting the global fuel down by 4% and seems to have helped quite a bit...in using turbosaxes excel formula it shows I need to add 3 to 9 percent up top to be even on wbfactor.... Do you guys think my ISC motor might be an issue in stalling-Dave via DSMLINK believes...
  44. ECMlink Analyze first SD pull after MAFT disaster :)

    Thank you boosted and livedsm...should I just go with the stock 2g dsm or the Evo1 modded timing map so I am in the lower timing range or should I just put 10-12's across the board in that boost range? I am trying to utilize turbosaxes excel formula that you are talking about. Will post back...
  45. ECMlink Analyze first SD pull after MAFT disaster :)

    I will make sure to rich things up across the board and pull timing from the top of the pull...what do you think about the 3k knock-due to being too lean? Also do you think my ISC is working correct-I will do the jafro method and ohm it out just to be safe. Thank you everyone and will include a...
  46. ECMlink Analyze first SD pull after MAFT disaster :)

    Exactly...thank you double for confirming that-119 sec's in WOT pull log. My question is should I attack the exact SDVE table that coincides with the leanness or should I try to adjust it with Global deadtime? Scott Lairds videos and a few other how to tune SD's focus on either one. Also do you...
