i really think its your ultimate, i had very simalar afr's at wot, once i got my cobb ap i removed the ultimate and just used the ap and my afr's changed dramatically, everyone is right about not going into boost at those levels that is really scary i was lucky myself i didnt damaged anything...if you cant wait for maps on the ap you can get your emanage tuned to lower your afr's as well i just didnt think it was worth investing the money into the ultimate at the time

Alright took out the Greddy completely. Installed the MM FI map and still got AFRs that idled at 14.7 then while in boost according to the AP stayed at 14.7 the whole way through. Still had problems accelerating past 5k it was starting to "buck" again. Gosh I tempted to just take off the turbo kit...is it possible that I may have damaged my engine already?

well -you should have taken it gingerly into boost looking at the afr's the whole time then backing off if you saw high numbers ...
The greddy intake sucks (so to speak) . You need a decent intake ... AEM , Mazsport , make your own . The key is to get the right diameter at the maf housing and plenty of straight pipe before the maf to get a good reading .

he already replaced his 02 - but yes you are right Kane . There is something else screwing around with his readings .
How about if he takes the car to a shop with a sensor that clips into the exhaust to get a reading that he can compare to the AP reading ?

Really. What would lead you to think that its just a "base map"?
It is an application-specific tune.
If you filled out the form correctly, you got a calibration for your car that matches what you have modified.
If you asked for a turbo tune - you got one.
Further tuning is accomplished by following the instructions in the e-mail precisely.
That said, you obviously have something wrong. A leak, a disconnected/damaged sensor or a failure in vacuum/pressure routing or wiring.

Did you read the instructions? The thread? Anything?

MM,
I understand that it is an application-specific tune. I am getting the new 02 Sensor put in today. hopefully this will fix my problem. The reason I said it was base FI map was because you said "The calibration set that you receive is NOT a "tuning" set. Changing calibrations up or down the series is NOT a viable way to alter the target AFR values or gain power/drivability. The series is ONLY intended to discover the correct MAF calibration for your particular vehicle and intake setup. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS PROVIDED HERE EXACTLY WILL YIELD A POOR TUNE AND INVALIDATE ANY FURTHER TUNING ATTEMPTS!" I will keep you guys updated.

that could be a big issue if there was mis-communication, when i got my map from MM i had the greddy intake at the time and that was the map i was given and my afr's where good enough to work with you might want to check your email and make sure the description is correct

So that's it? Was the bump in power noticable at lower rpm?
I've never put the seat time into anything under a V-8 thumping anyless than 302 cubes, so I'm curious.
The advertisement for the new 370 Z on the site sickens me just a side note, no Z, Evo, or STi has ever so much as trailed my Rex since I put on the Fidanza flywheel and clutch setup.

J. Cab just wanted to see if you were going to make it down to Seattle anytime soon. I would love to check out the set up and soak up some of your knowledge.
Also I wanted to extend an invite to this weekends car run with The-Winding-Road. We usually get about 8-10 8's out and a few others but no turbo'd 8's since I have been with the group. check out the-winding-road.com to get more info.

I would just keep your 04 and swap in a turbo'd 20B. You will see well over 500HP with that setup.

I dunno, with Racing Beat Balenced rotors my Current setup does fairly okay on 100 Oct and 16psi boost, bit overkill but does good, I think with some bridge and exhaust porting it could be done, just as a race day thing, 400hp for DD, I have a TT RX-7 I snagged in a shady deal with some guys we're looking into getting Greddy on that right after we get the Racing Beat Internals and a new housing, it was fucked up by us, that is me and my Bro Trey.
