The car goes in today for the tune

[bless_you]

Now that i finally have a SAFC II (thanks Bam)

The car went in this morning to xspeed to get sorted out.

hopefully i will be able to get rid of the blasted poping at 4.5K upwards and be able to give it fuul stick for once!:uh-huh:

the car went in with 165rwhp (filter, exhaust, BOV and bleed)

hanging out to see what i get out of it.

i cant wait

will let you know tomorrow

Nate, popping could be caused by plugs? i had the same problem, gapped el cheapo ones at 0.8 and all solved.

anywayz, post what kind of power u managed

[bless_you]

yeah tried plugs, platniums, with no luck.

the guys said that they would have a look at them after anyway, just to see if they have fouled up after running soo rich for sooo long.

i really wanna this to fix the problem!

well see though

[G0DF4Th3R]

nice..

is Xspeed tuning the car for you?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Good luck with it, I'm sure the SAFC will solve the problem:D

[bless_you]

yeah xspeed are install + tune...

i was going to head to Steve (SST) but since i live like 2 mins from xspeed, it just worked out easier.

depending on how this tune goes, ill see when i get the cooler if i head to steve for the final tune.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Anyone can tune an SAFC:D

[bless_you]

xspeed know their stuff right?

(i hope im not vialating any business agreement here on the forums, its just a harmless question...)

you would have to admit though, that there are your good tuners and your bad tuners! we have all heard stories of what went wrong with the odd tuning job at whatever tuning shop.

[G0DF4Th3R]

Nate - dun stress, Xspeed will take care of you

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Xspeed are great guys, and they can tune an SAFC no probs. If you get full management then even they send it to other places to get tuned.

[bless_you]

well its back....

good news and bad

good:

im up to a 249wrhp!!!!!

i should probably put alittle of the explination in to the difference of dynos ie. the 1st figure of 165hp was from tim slakos dyno and the recent firgure of 249hp is from the gene exhausts one.

plus also i guess i also have extra 3psi boost now plus a safc tuned car now... im so wraped

bad:

the pop/miss is still there. it showed up on the dyno HUGE TIME!

isnt not as bad now.

i hoping that the plugs are just fowled from it running too rich for sooo long.

i will also have to check the coil packs too i guess.

anyone clued up on this proceedure?

it it the resistance between terminal a + c?

thanks guys

You will be happy with Xspeed, their good guys.

[bully]

xspeed are good they do my work

[bless_you]

yeah sorry steve, i was going to head up your way for the install/tune. but at the moment it was just more convenient for me and others around me, to get it done close.

any chance i can rattle your brains on the weekend over the popping/ possible ignition problem matter?

[N I B]

I'm moving house this weekend, Sorry.

Change your plugs to NGK BCP6ES coppers...they rock. Steve put these into my car when I developed a miss whilst he was tuning it, my iridiums could not handle any more than 200hp, the NGK's fired perfectly up to 260hp.

[rob77]

Hmmm, 249hp seems lowish. I had 245hp with just upped boost via my blitz sbc, dump+front pipe and stock ecu with no safc. Though this was done on steve's dyno.

[GTS-t VSPEC]

I think the power figure is just fine, well done. I'd guess plugs are the problem, there easy to change, so start there:D

man youre car is good

i had a similar flatspot/misfire etc problem and it ended up being a coil pack. if you can get your hands on a spare one just swap them in and out til you find the culprit. or maybe try the ignitor module...
