Kiahatsiu's 05 Wagon: stepping it up again.

[dr20t]

Mate you will sort it out I'm sure

How bad is the exhaust leak? Can you hear it? Is it affecting spool up?

Change that wastegate spring. 21psi minimum.

If you're pulling 13.2 with a 2.3 60 ft'er at that level, this will be quick

When you winding the boost in?

[kiahatsiu]

Yeah. It is very loud. I can only assume it hurts spool. I will need to keep the spring around 17 psi because I dobt plan on running much more than that day to day. We shall see how good the boost control is when it gets turned up to 24 25. As for doing that, tge week after next maybe.

what clutch does it have now? why must there be so many issues !!!!

[kiahatsiu]

Because racecar.




It was just an exceedy HD thing....the new one is a ceramic button clutch contraption.

Sounds nasty! ive driven a few subarus with button clutches and they were hard to drive in stock start traffic! mine doesn't have a button and its held up so far ha ha

Watching with great interest!

Bedded Ian's new clutch in on the dyno today, holds okay.

[dr20t]

Nice

What boost?

[alessandro132]

Very nice. More importantly, what's the bum dyno verdict?

[kiahatsiu]

Fixed some shit, broke some shit. All in all. A fun day.
Now has a Competition Clutches stage 3, er, clutch. Fixed a hole in the exhaust manifold, blew a gasket after the turbo. The circle of holes!
Oh, and seriously, my favorite thing is fitting a fan on the front of the ac condenser.

Tony is just inching up the power, but we discussed some things today and we (Turbo Yoda, Coyote and myself) all agree we might take this in a different direction, more aligned with their businesses products.
As a car guy I think it is very handy to know a good tuner.
End result will still be skids.


ps, Tony, did you happen to accidentally disable the traction control?

You used the skinny Linglongs to make your dyno chart more impressive. Of course you have traction issues.

[kiahatsiu]

Running 21-22 psi.
As for how does it drive; really nicely off boost. Only bought it on twice in 2nd and 3rd due to being in peak hour traffic, but it turned tyre. I suspect i left some black lines past Coyote's favorite lunch haunt.
But to all those reading this thread thinking about a tune (pfft: no one), there is a lot to it, e tuning is all well and good, but having spent a lot of time with Coyote doing tunes one realises that it is a very involved process, and there very rarely are one size fits all solutions. In today's impromptu session alone there would have been 20+ revisions done. Something to think about when you are going to be emailing files and logs.

Awesome result man, congrats!

If only you could tune these ecu's on the fly

[jslayz]

Holy sheet, is that enough for now.......??
