Lesson learnt...


Recommended Posts

So my '99 wrx wagon pooped its maf, easy swap once I found some security torque keys. Then found the fuel pump stopped working. Got my mate to order a DW200 since it seemed like a good replacement. Put it in today, nice and easy with a plug and play loom. Car still wouldn't start... I could hear the fuel pump priming but no go. Pulled a spark plug and it was dry as a bone, pulled the fuel filter and there was no fuel getting to it. Decided to pull the fuel pump out again... Checked the loom that was supplied with the pump that said it was for a Subaru wrx and the damn wires were around the wrong way! Argh! Swapped them around and car fired up first time!

Lesson well learnt... I should have checked before hand... Just trusted it was right.

The only reason I changed the wiring is because the fuel pump had a specific plug it has to use, the wiring it came with had the plug for the pump at 1 end and the plug that fits into the factory plug at the other, straight plug and play... Well sort of.

      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
