same weather but when engine is cold, high boost when warm , it can't go beyond 7-8psi

 

look at these scum bag , there is a reason worrying about my baby 

 

Where's the abuse? Road testing with very conservative driving.

friend of mine had its car totaled by a dealer here who was meant to service it .

 

a 19 years old took it out and trashed it who was a technician

 

a question re link ecu, I installed new turbo and wanted to take the inlet manifold out to paint it.

whilst doing it, I realised how much of a pain it can be to even change the injectors so I have decided to get the 630cc injectors and install it and take it to tuner.

 

my question is, if i simply plug the g4 into the car, can i change the injector size and then the base map will inject correct amount of fuel or no ?

spoke to Link tech and was told I could change the injector opening time to half which would allow the engine to run on the 630cc injectors and can slowly drive it to tuner. thoughts?

How do you plan on doing that? Is there an Injector open time table?

A proper tune will never take ~3-4 hours unless your tuner already has a canned map, your car is perfect, and they just need to verify that everything is running properly + maybe small tweaks here and there. It will take a few days to do it right even though Link or whatever ECU manufacturer of choice is providing the base map which shouldn't be too far off in the first place.

OEMs take months of engineering time to do the factory calibration. It's a full time job. Even then sometimes they run out of time and it's too late to get another calibration emissions certified and you end up with a factory tune that breaks engines. Subaru has done this before. With a turbo engine especially the dyno cannot do everything for you, some road testing is needed to tune for real-world IATs.

Engine calibration is not for kids. If you don't trust your tuner to not crash/abuse your car they have no business doing an ECU calibration.

Some logging is needed to diagnose why your car is running wrong on the base map, if you can screenshot a trace of the behavior people can probably help.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
