PG Pump Installed

palerider said:
Pump is on.... No problems. After the initial ECU "relearning" of, Im assuming, the MAF maps(or whatever..lol.) It took about 20-30 miles of stop and go, open throttle, and then idling, then normal driving, then repeat....for it to start acting "normal".... only it wasnt normal. In boost it was noticeablely different.... in a good way. And it wasnt just more power.

I finally got the confidence built up and made 6 or 7, 20-120 passes on the farm roads near my house. the thing is a fucken rocket. I notice a bigger difference than with my exhaust or intake.

Of course some of that could also be that I had my coilovers installed today as well....lol

Been a damn good day.


Dynos and hopefully maps of throttle etc will be posted in the next day or two. My tuner has me scheduled Thursday, but encouraged me to come back tomorrow as well. Stay tuned.

Thanks to Ken, Driver 311, and Protege Garage for walking a noob through the process of gladly and successfully pissing my warranty away for good..lol. But it seems like no problems so far. The guys have been immensely helpful.

If I can do it anybody can.

Could you expand on that...? :p

-How wasn't it acting normal?
-Boost was different, how?
-What do you mean it wasn't just power?

At first it would stutter alittle out of stops.... stuttered a little in 4th and 5th if I got on the gas around 2500 rpms...

But even from the first moment, whenever it would hit boost it was sudden and violent...powerful. And then it would rage... I was excited but nervous as hell while it was "relearning"...

By the end though. It was turboed vtec. It felt like power was increasing all the way to redline. I would bet my house this is affecting throttle at high rpms... or even just in boost. Its just different. Im a modding noob remember...cut me some slack on the details...lol

I dont want to give it all away though. Im gonna have dynos and graphs, and pictures...yay... in the next 48 hrs. I'll post a detailed thread soon with all my details. I dont think a dyno has been posted yet.

If I have what I think I have.... even on a sorta stock vehicle... it should be big news. I dont want to talk it up, too much, until I have "the goods":)

Ok... <disappointed, but understand...> lol

Reason I'm so interested in your finding is that I believe I will soon have your basic set up; MS CAI and TBE...

What are your mods on your engine? From your signature I see you have a MS CAI and a Vibrant DP... Does the DP replace both cats?

I will be patient and wait for your findings... :)

Vibrant DPback. the Vibrant replaces the midpipe with a 3inch pipe and highflow cat, plus 3 inch cat back.

i still have the stock dp. But CorkSport is going on eventually.

BTW... my wideband...right now is BEHIND the 1st cat. I still get WOT readings but I didnt want to pull the DP until I had a replacement. So I wish I could give A/F off of tonight but I cant really. The car was rich before...its still rich.

Im not smart enough to figure it out.. So I'll just post the results and let my tuner tell me whats next...lol
 
I wish I had the balls to just spring for the pump. I would have to get the most expensive version and then just wait for the credit back after shipping my stock pump back to Ken. My car is a dd, so I can't afford any down time. *Crosses fingers on XMas bonus*.
 
Can anyone with the pump installed give a quick how to? I know ppl are saying its not a difficult install. I want to do it on my owwn but dont want to get over my head
 
Just a quick question. The Pump looks the same as the factory pump but with upgraded internals right? If so, replacing it should not effect the warranty as they will never know you upgraded the pump.

Or am I completely wrong?
