She's purring boys


Recommended Posts

After tinkering with my new car the last week or so trying to get to the bottom of a sneaking suspicion something just wasn't right, the New fuel pump and spark plugs arrived today. The pump I pulled out of the car was unbranded and slightly smaller than the walbro that went in. I think the one I pulled out might have been a knockoff because the copper plugs I had in the car for the last few days had white/grey on the tips and I could just feel that she had more power to give, almost like was only getting 90% combustion. New plugs in and pump in. Grounded the coils around the place and also grounded the engine to gearbox/chassis and boys she's responded so well. It took about 15 mins of easy driving before the ecu started to ramp things up again, then  I started giving her a good thrashing for half an hour or so and now she's just humming and is driving the best she has. I can feel she's making full combustion almost like the running gear has no weight to it at all, no mili second dead spots when I put my put down, just purring and boosting beautifully, the sound orgasmic. My plasma coils will arrive soon along with synchronic bov then I got to figure out a way to get my pod filter boxed and Im thinking its going to have to be a fab job then I'm gonna book her in with pappu for a humble 16psi road tune. I just knew she would have a slight vac leak or something because I could just feel it, I could feel the slightest bit of weight in the running gear so I started hitting potential causes one by one and Im experiencing that magical moment of joy you get when you have been tinkering with your car crossing potential faults off of your list and discovering all sorts of little worries along the way correcting them when suddenly you get it! and she hauls ass with love! I wanted to post about it because I know we can all relate to this moment and It will be encouraging to some of you who I know are still in that same boat trying to figure out whats wrong with your car. persist brethren and I hope you reap the rewards of winning the fight! I cant wait to wake up tomorrow and drive her to work!  v7 sti.

16psi is less than factory boost. They run like 18psi from the factory and will go as high as 20psi without caring. In stock form pretty much the only thing that makes them make power is boost, if you drop it to 16psi it will be about as fast as a WRX.

I just assumed factory boost was around 15.  Had no idea they were factory 18. Thats great news :)

 

even 7psi boost wouldnt make the running gear feel heavier in the way that I mean.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
