Dumb Question Thread!

Recommended Posts

Thanks for that will try and adjust the boost warning light... will try and download a Defi manual :)

Spool is pretty quick and good power through the rev range, I did notice that it goes a little flat when I get further up the rev range, but a good choice turbo for the back roads.

Looking to get it to STM so they can check the mixture etc, as its probably been a while since it was tuned.

Next dumb question...

Would you stick with ECUTEK or go Link?

That's the $2000+ question.

If you're going to evolve the car further, I'd go Link. The factory ECU is very capable but when you start going way beyond the factory spec it starts to show its limitations.

If you're not going to get much crazier than it currently is, stick with reflashing the factory ECU.

Had an annoying vibration at high speeds so took it to bridgestone for an alignment and balance. They also said the front rotors were slightly warped which was giving a pulsating feel when braking. So they skimmed the fronts and things were all fine for a month or so.

Now the pulsating when lightly braking is back again. Can't tell if its the fronts or backs doing it. I think they put on some pretty cheap pads when the car was imported so could this have anything to do with it or is it worth just taking it back to bridgestone to get them to look ober the whole thing again??

Need to get another set of brake pads. My V7 has the Subaru 4 pots on the front. Can anyone tell me what the DB or any number that I would need to find replacement pads?

Specifically looking at the endless pads. Here is a spreadsheet with their models: http://www.endlessdata.info/Endless%20Brake%20Pads%20Price%20(1).pdf

I think these would work too, right? http://ecat.ferodoracing.com/car-racing/brake-pads/FCP986

ive got a turbo timer an apexi pen style one which is straight plug in everything plugs in except two loose wires a solid black wire and solid brown wire im semi guessing the black wire is an earth? maybe and the brown wire is to go to handbreak?

Also once installed the turbotimer shouldnt effect my alarm?

My rad caps are are bit old, so i'm thinking about replacing them to tidy up.

The header tank I'm just getting a 1.3bar sti cap, now does the radiator require to be a 1.3 or a 1.1bar cap? (larger aftermarket radiator)

Surely they would both need to match 1.3-1.3, or one would open before the other? I have a 0.9bar on my wagon.

      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
