from the little info we have I would say it's a poor tune. simple as that. the car should not run poorly over a change in altitude of 400m.

hmmm, as stated my STI did the exact same thing, different car different tuner?

If it is a temp and barometric pressure issue, it could be far more than 5% if none of it is corrected, however 10% still shouldnt be enough, however i have seen it happen without the use of an air temp sensor, basically in summer blowing black smaoke, and lean in winter.

crap, so how is that fixed?

cheers

how? with a real tune & a real ecu - ie go back to the PFC or get the link installation sorted and tuned properly

if its got a map sensor it should be setup accordingly, along with air temp sensor to correct itself

* WINNER *

yeah but it had a power fc in it before (tuned by another tuner) and it ran sweet till it came to queenstown, then again ran like crap

Im not sure if you can do anything about the barometric pressure compensation, as that should be built into the firmware of the ecu, however the IAT table makes a massive difference. From what i see a lot of tuners dont think outside the box and realise just how important having an Air temp sensor, and the correct corresponding numbers in the table.

Any competant tuner would usually turn away any map based ecu if it lacked an IAT sensor... well around here anyway.

Couldnt agree more, but ive seen tuner do installs without them enough to know it happens around here, usually the excuse is the owner didnt want to spend the extra for the sensor and install! Crazy.

hey there,

just figured out the backfire/hesitation is when boost starts building when its cold, when the engine isnt warmed up

also there is no cold start up set on the LINK either yet?

ideas??????????????????????

Are you anywhere near rips, i would take it to them. If you can put up screen shots of the settings in the software then it will make it easier.

hey, no which sucks, about 15 hrs away, bummer though i sponsor Robbie Ward at RIPS, ha.......

will try getting that info

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
