What have you done to your MSP today?

i seriously miss my car. i watched my video of me racing msp608 tonight and i just want to drive it so bad =(

LOL, using that video to better visualize me and dubby. To bad your car is down and Justin isn't driving his anymore; it would have been fun to see where I sit with the real MSP guys...

Ugg, that video.

I think his tail lights might be 'bluring' bc he's running rich between shifts, not sure though.

Is this just an MSP tune thing? I notice that whenever I shift the AFRs go lean then rich and then back to normal all pretty quickly and I usually get a nice puff of black in the process. If I shift really quickly it just goes rich; weird. Probably related to the relocated MAF, 626 IM or something else along those lines.

i dont really run rich between shifts im recirculated.

 

[magnumP5]

I am, and I do.

i just have the smell of gas come out of my exhuast

 

[magnumP5]

Attack of the turbo P5s! We're raiding the MSP section!

ona good note when i got home last night my car seemed to be idling right again and staying around 14-16 af so maybe it fixed its self

 

[magnumP5]

I guess it's finally learning around itself? Weird that it would take that long though. Maybe it was the fresh/less dense mountain air. So how's that fuel cut? Looked like it hit pretty hard there that last time?

 

[DubbyDoo]

yea its a b**** lol im gonna buy a fuel cut defender to fix it

 

[magnumP5]

I'm still telling you something else is going on there. These cars fuel cut for a reason (assuming it's not cold) and a FCD just prevents that. Seems like a quick way to BOOM!

The FCD is a good thing if you tune with you appropiately. Many do with great success. I will be using it on my build.

Depends on what you're using to tune. I have the SplitSecond AFC which has a built-in voltage clamp so I do not need one. Dubby there has an AFC and is hitting fuel cut so something is wrong - be it maxxing out his MAF because something is wrong with it (has happened to me) or he's maxxing out his injectors (12 psi on stock injectors). Who knows - is the FCD just a voltage clamp anyway?

 

[2.0t03speed]

the afc has a o2 voltage clamp not a maf clamp

Yeah but I know of other members here running upwards of 16 psi on a relocated MAF and they weren't hitting fuel cut. I'll find out eventually I guess.

tried unsucessfully to fix and locate the clanking noise coming from the bay, though it was belt chatter but i put a conditioner on them and they sound great now but the noise is still there, seems to be coming from the inside of the engine in the area behind the heatshield. any ideas as to what it could be or how to fix it? it isnt really bad, i guess it could be described as a ping sound.

could be the msp heat sheld, they are notorious for making noise. the bolts come loose. replace them all with new ones and see if it goes away.

+1! I removed my heat shield last week. I couldn't take the rattle anymore.

installed my Injen today, the turkey is alive and well, he says "hello".

 

[2.0t03speed]

I replaced the bulbs in my fogs today and fixed the location of my passenger side fog. Now both my fogs work and they are both level =). Im so happy =D

 

[magnumP5]

w00t! I checked oil today for the first time in two weeks and not one bit lower than "F". This is great - I've definitely pushed the car harder than usual lately with tuning and the car show yesterday and to know that next to no oil was burned is fantastic! I guess those Krank Vents really did something...
