[KeeleDesign]

thats using your noggin!

this is a awsome build, i am glad i found it!

it's funny, reading through this thread, it makes it seem so easy to do everything you have done.... when in all reality, everything u have have done is verry time consuming.
like the wire tuck it'sself, etc, etc,
mad props and i hope everything keeps going well!

[aleks77]

Hey dont make fun of us Canadians

Picked up the car, but the shop decided to tease me Boost cut at 3 psi and rev limit of 5000 rpm. The reason, the tuner tuned the idle, the cruising, and up to 3 psi. But didnt wanna go any faster because my brakes are kinda iffy right now, they sink to the floor every now and than, i gotta figure it out first.

Anyone know how hard it is to tune to like 6-7 psi? I cant take this teasing!!! Im running hondata S300, so i can screw around with it, but im curious if i can raise the boost cut to 7 psi? and just watch the AFR and make sure they dont go above 11.9, or is there a lot more to it, the tuner said the hard part of tunning is done, whatever that means. Thanks for any help!

[jdm92_accorn]

i'd wait it out. not to sound like a fortune cookie but great things come to those who wait, lol. but on a serious note curiousity has its down fall and boosted cars are not something you want to play around with unless you're experienced.

[starchland]

id say take ye time man

[jdm92_accorn]

id say take ye time man

i agree, idont know how many times i got impatient and it came back to bite me in the ass, lol. it took me quite a few though to fully learn my lesson.

dont play with the tune unless you know what your doing.

replace your master cylinder to fix your brakes.

[aleks77]

I called up the tuner, and he said i can up the boost cut 1 psi at a time, and to just watch the AFR. He said he added fuel all the way up to 18 psi.

I went out tonight and went to 7 psi boost cut, I cant do WOT so all my pulls were like 80% throttle max, 90% of the time AFR was under 12 (like 11.6 11.7) and at 7 psi it would creep up to as high as 12.4. This is all part throttle, the reason i cant WOT is because boost just builds too quick and i hit the boost cut and thats not fun. Car feels good at 7psi. Rev limit is 4800.

[Smiley_cb7]

Got any videos?

[aleks77]

Probably no videos till full boost and RPM. I mean all i can really do is part throttle it slowly, but it pulls. Gotta get the brakes done and get it fully tuned asap!
