Didn't really push it upon pickup today as it was raining. It did break traction in both first and second gear easily however.

Drives really well though. Seems to have effortless power. Hopefully it has some economy left, once I control my right foot.

Wow, thats great Bruce as your car was a tad boring to drive.

Can't wait to have another drive to see what the Springy tweak has done, sounds promising...

[<GB>]

Had the car dyno tested at Springy today.

Car needed a little tweaking of the tune to get the AFR's spot on.

Was then run up to produce a power figure of 202.6kw at 16psi.

I'll drive it for a little while to see how the car and I like it before increasing the boost slightly to 18 or 19 psi.

Hmm it went to springy.....??

How was my car

The tuned elsewhere was where I was tuned? What fuel was it running?

Nope.

I'm currently working with Matt the KiDo Racing tuner to sort out a tune for me.
Progress has been good with only one slight niggle which should be fixed in the next map revision.
Will post some results etc soon when the tune is finalised and I run it on a dyno to check everything.
Things can't be tested legally on the roads hence the dyno check.

No it was tuned by a remote tuner who has sent various revisions along the way

The fuel used was prem 100

Nah boys lol I know about kido I spoke with Bruce yesterday and thought there was a different decision made about the dyno run today

[dr20t]

Congrats on club 200 Bruce

Hope she drives like an animal

What's the story with this tuned by someone else?? Sounds like a dig!!

Nice work Bruce

Nice work Bruce

Thanks Nelson.

Decided the take the long way there but made it eventually.

The MAF scaling was off as Bruce has had a boost leak(and was getting boost spikes from the failing grimspeed solenoid, now fixed with the pierburg solenoid) so for the time I have tuned the car, it was near impossible to get a consistent MAF scale. Had no logs from after the boost leak and solenoid was replaced or I would have fixed the MAF scaling prior to going on the dyno
Only changes of note in the tune was MAF/fueling, my peak timing curve was right once load is corrected.

The final power output curve/response does look better than the other VF52 dyno graphs I was shown while I was in Melbourne retuning WRX's and S-Editions though, atleast that is indicative of getting the AVCS, timing and throttle settings right for a good tune and not using No 1500rpm to 3000rpm hesitation on the road either

MAF scaling still needs tweaks and fix the timing graph back up as 10.55 degree drops in timing over just 300rpm will induce feedback knock correction

If the grimspeed solenoid was deemed to be faulty? Then why was it then re sold? The person who has just bought this has paid for a faulty part?

[brainy]

Not quite Justin.

There was no fault with the grimspeed, the stutter issue that was occurring was because the kido tune was dangerously rich. I believe the replacement part was doing the exact same thing.

I thought the boost leak was fixed by springy (tmic hose was loose) and then kido did another tune while he was still in melb?

I'm glad that kido marketing is in overdrive as Im sure Matt is amazing with his knowledge and ability (I have heard great things), but i'll let the results speak for themselves.

Before kido 180kw@tw.
Cai + rear mufflers and kido tune multiple revisions 170kw@tw and dangerously rich.
Springy "adjustments" 202kw@tw.

I have no affiliation with anyone nor am I saying that anyone is better than anyone else. The facts are there, so make of it what you will.

Failing for the PWM I was using due to the boost leak. Nothing 'wrong' with the Grimspeed but it was letting us down with the results we were chasing.

Dangerously rich? Final open loop fueling only altered by 1.1 AFR between mine and the new tune and last time I checked, stock VF52 tune is 9:1 so in no way is it dangerous. Exhaust gas temps were actually still optimal! Mind clarifying why it was dangerous?

Swapping from the Grimspeed to the Pierburg eliminated the stutter on boost, no fueling/timing changes made

I had a boost leak pegged from early on(as Bruce will confirm) as the MAF values were really high. Funny thing is, the MAF voltage is still high but the MAF scale is adjusted to lean it out which is still consistent with a boost leak. If that leak does get fixed... it will run lean and need less timing at high rpm 'off boost' when the computer references that MAF value(15psi at 3000rpm has similar MAF signal as 0psi at 6000rpm etc)

Excuse my ignorance but you used the term "failing grimspeed solenoid"....to me that's expresses a fault with the part does it not?

Definition:
1. The act of a person or thing that fails; a failure.
2. A minor fault.

Anyway I just wanted clarification for myself...and now I think have it thanks

Bruce? You may want to inform the person who bought the grimmspeed of the above
