I'm on the tall side but mainly in the legs. It made a big difference for me as I have to have the seat all the way back and reaching for the wheel I had very little elbow bend. Adding the spacer brought it to a far better arm position with more leverage and mobility.
I will say after switching...
One thing I did think of, that I didnt mention before.
Is your stoich set point vs the actual fuel you are running. If this is an e85 tune and you are running 93 or a 93 heavy mix you would see a rich condition that was being corrected for by trims. (lots of negative trim, Like 15-30% if the...
Think of the trims as a air/fuel error %. Say the ecu is commanding 1.0 lambda, but the front o2 sensors are saying we are only measuring 1.01 lamda.
The cause of the difference between the two could be any number of things, old, dirty, out of spec, maf/o2 sensors, air leaks/small amounts...
Pro tip if your following along with pcmtech:
Also install hptuners vcm editor so you can follow directly, then you can mouse over whatever your messing with and in the bottom left it will give you the ecm#. That you can take and convert to the pcmtech auf number.
Do your logging in hptuners...
Exactly this.
One thing to add is Cat over-temp doesn't equal instant max enrichment. That is the maximum the ecu is allowed to hit while attempting to cool the catalyst temperature and get it back below 1630. So if it can achieve < 1630 at .76 that is as far as it will go and start heading...
No Problem, Best of luck and enjoy the journey! For me it really sparked a deeper interest into understanding the engineering side of motorsport in general.
Ive never messed with SCT so I cant really give much guidance on that front with the fuel source, It could have a different name or just not exist.
If there is a big discrepancy between commanded vs actual and your trims are all over the place then I would think your looking at maf sensor...
Its pretty rich if your NA, I'm boosted and target .78 on power demand up high.
What to look for is your actual (measured) vs commanded lambda being pretty close, That means the ecu is commanding richer for some reason. Most likely cat over temp as Pistol suggested, See if you can add Fuel...
I have, was a solid course and 100% worth it to have information on the actual platform your working with. I have also taken the HP academy courses (also really good) but having the examples and explanations from my exact setup was invaluable. Quite a few times I ran into things I wasn't sure...
My laptop has two USB C and one USB type A. So I have my hptuners rtd using a c to c cable, then the pcmtech adapter goes to the type A, leaves me a c port for charging with a cigarette lighter adapter for longer sessions.
This is what I do, it's so much easier and is far more mature with lots of features pcmtech doesn't provide. The only time I log with pcmtech is if I'm really digging in to specifics that hptuners doesn't expose.
I got an obd2 y splitter so I can have both adapters plugged in at the same time...
One thing to keep in mind that hasn't been mentioned is putting the power down with a PD blower. I'm a 10r80 car with 325 ps4s tires, so different gearing but I have to limit torque output via the tune for first and second gear to around 30-40% and I can still spin the tires.
Keeping temps...
For gaskets I would highly recommend the thick crushable remflex gaskets. I was unable to get mine to seal up with oem or the kooks gaskets.
Be sure to follow the proper torque sequence as it made a huge difference when I was fighting to get mine to seal with the "normal" gaskets. I used a shop...
I do now as I don't drive it all that often. But I dallied a 2012 with the two year pattern, upgraded to an 18 and made it a year before it needed to be replaced. Didn't have a garage or covered parking at the time so that could have played into it.
To be fair my 18 is cursed and spent half of...
I'm in Texas and the stock batteries only make it a year maybe two due to heat. AGM have been great for me.
That being said mines about 5ish years old and its starting to struggle when its really hot in the engine bay. I am planning on switching to the new sizing from the s650. There is a...
Not exactly the same as your not truly controlling boost, but this can be done via tuning using PCMTech, I was thinking of getting the smoothboost to limit power but ended up tuning myself and setting up torque by gear + custom os so I could switch between power levels on the fly.
Might be...
