This is on my winter wheels, as these are my most recent pics taken mid-February.

Well, everything is installed. It starts and runs. Base tune goes on tomorrow so I can at least drive around, then sometime next week I go full retard.

Oh yea, we found the electrical gremlin... PLX's new DM-6 requires this weird voltage reducer thingy to make the gauge work, but for some reason, it put +12V to the chassis. So that is disconnected for now, until something can be figured out. Unless I wired it wrong, because I tend to do that at 1am after a couple beers.

 

Anyways, I took some crappy cell phone pics of what I'm pretty sure are the first ever engine bay pics I've ever taken of my car.

 

You'll notice the turbo was clocked to PERFECTLY fit my AVO fmic piping. It seriously couldn't fit any better. The 3" Perrin inlet fit, with some effort. The fuel pump housing had to be modded a bit more to fit the slightly larger Aeromotive pump.

Clusterfu*k, it is. For now. And no setting fire to it just yet.

I'll be fast..... soon enough :rolleyes:

 

Bring it up to my place in the city and I will give you a hand :)

Doing some thinking and more reading, but is it possibly to integrate a standalone EMS with the stock ECU to retain CANbus functionality? Can you cut the outputs controlling engine functions from the stock ECU, so it can't interfere with the standalone, but still allow the ECU to read inputs and keep it happy from throwing a CEL? As long as the tune for the EMS is keeping the engine running within the stock ECU's thresholds for throwing CELs, I think it could work.

 

Input?

so kind of a dumb thought, and no way an expert in anything, but is it possible of 1 of 2 things?

 

After seeing the video, is it possible either from all the electricity the ecu is kinda jacked up or maybe in some way because of the bad grounding that the tune is corrupted?

65lbs :lol:

 

 

I love my Meth!

 

Meth may be in my future. But I already have the upgraded fueling parts available to me for cheap. If I can find gas stations in the area that have unleaded 100 (or higher) I would actually consider DDing on race gas. A speedway a few blocks from me has 114 for 4.99/gal but it's leaded (they don't know the price is set wrong ;))

It was low voltage going to the chassis and the ECU should be protected from that kind of stuff. And there would be other problems too.

 

I had a corrupt map on my car once, it would randomly hit fuel cut and feel laggy as hell

 

I wasn't having any other issues before, so I have a hard time believing my map is the issue. Especially since I'll get a random full log.

Premium is that much in the city :lol::lol:

 

WI/Meth is the way to go!

Here are some logs to compare.

I don't really see anything that stands out among them.

 

 

The first 3 are with my 82mm intake and GTX3076 on wastegate pressure, so the MAF voltage and manifold pressure are different fromthe other two. Ignore the WBO2 readings, I didn't have it plugged into my laptop.

That last 2 are with my 20G at a mild 21psi target and 73mm intake.

 

 

If you look at the "TIME" column, you will see gaps in what may look like a complete log. Other times, it just stops logging all together. Let me know if you notice a re-occurring pattern from log to log. I could use a fresh set of eyes.
