Twiggy Sticks Install, tuning and results thread

I just cranked those vids to 11 :D I Love how deep our FSDE's sound and those cams just make it even better.
 
Yeah, def got lots o tuning to do.
low end is non-existent, but it SINGS at 5000 rpm!!

CEL keeps coming back on random mult misfires. P0300
Mind u, I had many other parts installed at the same time.

We had to open up that IAC screw to calm the idle down.
Noticing some exh smoke on shifts when I wind it up (grayish)
 
I lost alot of bottom end, but got it back with more ignition advance. Feels stock down low and just keeps going all the way to 7,500. I should dyno tune sometime and see what's really going on.

My maps might not be ideal, since I've only street tuned it myself and would be different to yours because I have an FP 1.8 with FS injectors, different fuel, different PCM etc, but mine needed lot's of ignition advance everywhere (upto +15 under heavy load, half that light load), more fuel low rpm and less at high rpm. The car is designed for 91RON but now running 98RON, so that probably contributes alot to the need for advanced timing.

I wish I had video of my first setup, it was insane, with huge lope and you could hear the exhaust pulses rushing out of the head into the header, sort of a sharp swishing noise. Sounded weird but cool. That was the final straw for the stock front and rear engine mounts. The front rubber completely tore out!

Do you have a WBO2? It's a bit smokey looking. Running a bit rich?
 
Yeah, I have an Innovate tapped into the Aux Input on the AEM. Gonna be spending some time logging and tweaking now.
 
Its pretty bad none one has got a drive by of these in their car. I mean how long has it been? Then again I've seen alot of people using these in big builds which would explain that, but still.
 
o btw i have one more question from what im told i have a set of cams from the 2nd group buy so my cam jounals should be in spec correct?
 
i installed flash player 9 but the photobucket site still wont let me look at the videos. the website thinks i dont have flash player 8 or newer... ??? i know it`s installed correctly. poo!

There was only one GB but I think that there were two batches made within that group buy. Im not sure which one had the journal issue.
 
ok just did a bit of searching from the guy i bought them from thru his posts. And looks like he was telling the truth and i have one from the second group from where the journals were fixed
 
o and one more thing anyone know how i can check and make sure the journals are right? can someone tell me what the right specs on the journals are supposed to be?
 
nvm after even more searching my cams were in the last group with only my cams, boostdprotegelx,and protephile. from the post it says no repair so im guessing they should be good

EDIT: after finding that some ppl that had them fixed still had to get them fixed again id like know how to check and see if my journals are correct. what would i do sit them in the head and make sure they seat all the way or what?
