I got no boost?

[AznXstazy]

lol thanks i think i will get that fake supercharger... lol jk thanks guys now i wish i had a turbo.... :'(

you shouldnt even be in the 12.5 range. too lean.

 

[accuser]

14.7 is ideal for a stock car... as long as i don't pass 12.5 i'm good...

i don't actually get a chance to step on it right now... still waiting on my clutch... (my ass is brizoke) so in an attempt to save some gas... (j/k) lol... i'm keeping my mixture between 11 and 12.5 ... it's running safely... no ping / knock ...

you don't want to run too rich either cause then you will begin to wash your piston rings...

being that i live in jersey... it gets freakin cold here... so the ecu will be tempermental and want to throw more fuel at the motor. like i said... i hit 10.0 if its cold... and it's been freakin cold lately...

where can i get a wideband for our cars? ebay? are they car specific
or can a buy a 4 wire wideband and splice it up to our connectors.

 

[cfpkiller]

oh and another question if widebands are like a must for our cars what was
everybody doing like last year or the year before? when widebands wernt as main stream as they are now, were they just running leaner? like i said im only
gona be running at 6psi and arent very interested in braking land speed records. thanks again!!

 

[Matthew]

i can get you the AEM wideband for around 385ish.

 

[accuser]

look around the net... i got a PLX sensor and brain for 350... it's an awesome unit... unfortunately you can't just get the sensor and splice it up to the stock plugs...

it's definately worth spending the money on... better to spend 350 now then 1000 later...

the model i got was the PLX m-300 ... the good thing about this unit is you can hook it up to a narrowband output or a wideband output (for the gauge of your choosing, or even to replace one of your stock sensors... except that would require ******* with the ecu harness, which i don't suggest you do unless you've done it before)... AND it has a digital read out...

the AEM unit is nice as well... and i believe the person matt would be getting it from is beau from mental addiction.... beau is awesome and a good guy to work with... if you want ... his handle is MAMotorsports... send him a PM... he is very good with responses and very informative.

good luck with the kit... your journey has just begun... (and welcome to the dark side)

hello all i just got my turbo done, installed fm o2 clamp and all ready to roll.
is this normal for 1st gear to rev up fast and out of it s power ban for me to
shift into 2nd? lol wow 2nd and 3rd gear pulls like a beast!!! 1st gear is almost pointless unless all i want to do is spin the wheels. car seems to run
rich tho, i can smell it, is there any adjustment i can make to the fm clamp,
it has a screw that look like it can be adjusted, i havent yet but im just wondering. anyways thx guys for the advice, im selling the apexi safc2 on ebay. pointless for me to keep unless i want to hook it up for show...to see all the displays...knock etc...

 

[cfpkiller]

oh heres some pics!

 

[cfpkiller]

i wonder if my wife would notice if i stole her strut bar off her MP5?

 

[PaulMP3]

btw does a imporperly
adjusted blow off valve make u loose power?

if the BOV is too loose, it will leak and not let you hit full boost. Make sure the BOV isnt opening or leaking untill you take your foot of the gas.

 

[PaulMP3]

i wonder if my wife would notice if i stole her strut bar off her MP5?

probally not.

BTW, any pics of your exhaust manifold? what kind is it?

 

[cfpkiller]

lol ill take it then....anyways its an tsi manifold. i bought the kit from them
i dont rec tho, i had to put more money and more custom s*** into it.
