Member Profile - Rome - Final Update (pg 62)

[senator]

So me and Mick (dr20t) spent Sunday installing my HKS Ezy Writer to HOPEFULLY allow my tune to be perfected

It was a very fun and enjoyable day, the highlight was Mick singing "How Do I" by LeAnn Rimes/Trisha Yearwood. Also all the cussing in another language. Oh and his son's Rambo haircut.

And how could I forget the flatulence from both sides hahahah.

That is all.

Swearing, singing and flatulence……… Sounds like are cracker afternoon.

are those bushes the weak link for the auto?

According to the research they've done in the states that's what the general consensus is.

In other news, I finally came up against a 2006 WRX STI who lives in my area, been wanting to come up against this guy for a while. Of course, we went and found a private road for this Bottom line is, I launched my car fairly hard (a little too hard), absolutely destroyed this guy, I'm fairly certain his car is tuned by a certain performance shop in the Shire but I can't be 100% sure. Downside is, I think I have injured my centre diff as I can now hear a harmonic humming on light throttle which sounds to be like a bearing noise. Will have to get this looked at soon!

That is all.

Orange STi on E85?

No silver with green number plates!

So met up with Matt last night to fix up MAF scaling and try to sort out this 1st to 2nd gear shift on high boost. Couldn't get the Ezy writer to communicate with the laptop and Matt's laptop died before we finished so I am going to try and give this a go myself with some assistance.

Going to be monitoring the tune to see how the car fares and even if I don't sort out the shifting issue before next Wednesday I might go anyway to see if my trap speed has improved now!

im very interested to see how this easy writer goes! it sounds really hard and might be worth going back to the stock system! whats your thoughts?

It's just tricky to install with little-to-no experience. Lucky Mick offered to help me and has experience in taking apart the dash and wiring. Other than that the actual program itself is fairly simple to use.

Any updates?

Did you get the Ezy writer working?

And have you had any improvements with your tuning etc..

Short story... we know the gearbox will not shift out of first until the tacho needle drops below the rev limit resume engine speed. Same issue as the SST EVO's which can have the needle spin past rev limiter even if engine revs are limited.

I thought this was to be solved with the Ezy writer offering a soft cut just prior to the rev limiter to help get the auto shifting.

So does that mean the Ezy writer was a failure?

Ezy writer install was a failure not the ezy writer itself

We can't get it to sync with the laptop which I believe is a result of drivers not bein correct and I haven't yet tried to fix it

sounds like a shit thing! dunno if ill do this on mine, let it hold boost flat to rev limit ha ha

You've got a manual don't you? Should be a lot simpler for you as you are shifting the car yourself not waiting for the TCU to do it for you, you shouldn't really have this issue.

It's not shit we just couldn't get it working with our laptops for some reason.
