    OEM Electric Boost Controller? PIC

    thats not a boost controller, thats the boost control solenoid. Most likely it is a 2 port bleeder operation, so in order to increase boost, you'll have to fool how much boost its seeing, with usually a bleeder.

    CPE performance upgrades

    A little ot here, but the evo is hard to beat price / performance wise. There is such a plethora of aftermarket as well as community support that most things are very very cheap. Not to mention its rock solid relaible engine foundation in the 4g63 and the ease of mod installation and tuneabilty...

    Corksport exhaust and downpipe

    Honestly, i think that having a completely bolt on system (midpipe and catback) would be ideal. Why? Because i think the demographic of cx-7 owners are too polarized: many place value more on mpg then outright hp and those will typically shy away from any mods. On the opposite end of the...

    Regular Gas

    Funny you say that sleepy - i'm curious if my cx runs in a slightly degraded mode with the piss poor 91 octane we have in cali as opposed to other standard premium 93.

    CPE performance upgrades

    Shadow - any dates on release of that corksport tbe? And i agree with you, owning both a Evo and a cx-7, they are 2 different worlds apart. I enjoy both for what they are; the cx-7 as a great daily driver and transort suv, while the evo a visceral rally bred sports sedan.

    CPE performance upgrades

    thanks for the response and all the hard work! I am curious, the wastegate solenoid position signal you are measuring...is that basically wastegate duty cycle measured from the boost control solenoid (bcs) itself? If so, that could be an erroneous reading since that is more a function of the ECU...

    CPE performance upgrades

    Curious if you've ever experimented w/ the stock 2 port bleeder type boost control solenoid? This sort of setup is not the best for eliminating boost taper (as I done extensive experimentation on my evo). If you have the ability to control boost control via the ecu, then moving to an interrupt...

    Regular Gas

    typical modern day engines have intetgrated knock sensors. These sensors will typically trigger an safemode algorithm in the ECU to 1) increase fuel 2) retard timing 3) reduce boost, or a combination of all the above. while you can conceivably get away without damaging your engine under these...
