i have dyno time next week were i will have it tunned so i think everything is in good order. the car spools up slower now but when it dose..... yup
i only have one qustion for the a/f i have seen as high as 15.7 - 16 and low as 11.1 what is the safe zone?

 

[GhostMercury]

safe zone is still being decided for the car. Because of the DI and lack on tuning equipment no one has been able to really get some good tunes for these cars. Lead everyone out of the dark and post up all the info you can

 

[sleeping_blue]

a friend of mine wanted to see my car so all these came from my phone including the pics

 

[sleeping_blue]

well tell me what needs to be known and i will see what i can come up with

 

[FrequentFlyer]

Well, ideal A/F ratio is going to depend on alot of things, but if the motor was under load and receiving boost, 15's is way too lean.* If you were part throttle or cruising, 15's is about right.* Then again, if you were cruising, the car should be running in closed loop mode and the ECU constantly adjusts A/F ratio for best economy.* Under load, I would say something between 11-12.5, 12.5 bordering on the slightly lean side for WOT.

 

[sleeping_blue]

that sounds about right 15 is usally cruising and 10-12 on wot i just wonted to know after modding that much i never knew what it was before hand

i came to this after i order the fmic in the box came the core, 3 tubes, and oil cooler. so i called them, they said oops, not a problem. i got box from them 2 days later. it had 6 cuplings, and 10 clamps. i still had no way of connecting the power steering line nor any mounts or brakets. so i called them agin, told them agin what is missing this time around. and 3 days couse of the weekend i go another box that had everything but the mounthing bolts for the core to the brakets. i said screw it and went to the hardware store to get the bolts. for $900 bucks you better have everything there. i dont care if the parts are free i will never use them agin.

i have lots of parts im willing to sell new and oem in the market place

i understand the service is not the best...but how was the quality ? i am interested in that front mount kit. thanks for your insight.

 

[sleeping_blue]

well if i could have done it agin i would not got this kit. the core is so big it spooling is so much slower. they state a 10 hp gain i think its more along the lines of a 20hp loss. remember how 2nd kinda pushed you back in the seat from the boost yeah thats almost gone. if i could find some one to buy it with out takeing to much of a loss i would sell it plain and simple.

 

[builthatch]

man, i dunno! i know they've had some supply issues with the ms3 stuff, but i have to say they are one of the easiest companies to deal with, hands down.

their testing and dynapack dyno work shows no negative effects to their IC setup. are you 100% sure you don't have some sort of boost leak, because, truthfully, they've run this piece on their inhouse ms3 with nothing but good results.

odd; im sorry you've had a hard time....

 

[sleeping_blue]

i have checked and rechecked all all the clamps and all the welds havent found anything but this all in my thoughts with it. i have dyno time tommarow and i will see if mad any power or not
