Yep!! We did some re-working on the base map and started over with the new injectors.

I'll post how she drives once I get home tonight!!!

 

dyno chart or it didn't happen

 

Its coming. We are working on a time with 2 of my other customers. One has a newish RS4 with a PES Supercharger kit and the other is a SL55 with about 15k done in motor work.

 

^The tune dialed in? All the issues worked out?

DOH! I posted without reading the latest replies. Looking forward to your review!

 

f&f -- so whatcha think?

 

I would say that Team tries to explain stuff, in a rub-your-face-in-your-own-feces sort of way .... however, he, too, sometimes is wrong ... in those cases he just comes off as a plain dick

So yeah ... Team, you are always misunderstood,

 

^ yeah man, hows it running? Hopefully very well!

 

It runs well, but I need a new set of plugs. The ones in currently are fouled, but boosting is the ****!!!! We are running 7 psi until I get my dyno time arranged with a few of my customers.

 

There is a small hickup when the second valves open at 6-7k, but if I ease the throttle it gets by without an issue. This will also be getting fixed.

Elliot, I thought that this ECU resets the cel?? I have one on, but no way to check it since I no longer have my Cobb.

 

Will a local auto parts store check for you? Autozone does it here.

 

C'mon guys, keep it on topic.

 

You will still get check engines lights from certain problems. Like if you unplug the OMP. I am not sure exactly which ones trigger check engine light codes. A properly running car will not have any check engines. I will look into it.

Sounds like the car needs more fuel with the aux ports open( this is normal).

 

Dropped off the 8 at Dave's shop tonight. Going to take him a couple days to get to it... Current plan is to have her home this time next week.

 

G/L man!

This ECU seems promising.
I'm watching this thread as I hope to run this ECU in the near future.

 

What do you hope to gain from doing this versus running the Cobb?

 

Reliability under boost leak conditions?


not really worth the $ imo ... but w.e

 

boost leak wha?

A platform that my local tuner and I can use on our own to make adjustments -- basically ease of tuning is the biggest for me... but there are others, notably cutting over to stand alone wideband monitoring, i.e. bypassing the gimpy OEM O2 sensor.

And I'm not giving up the Cobb completely -- just the fuel and ignition tables (mostly). I will still rely on my AP for CEL suppression and inhibiting the speed limiter.

 

anyone?

what update are you looking for? This is the most active thread now ... after Team shut me down



Shell, if you have a boost leak, the adaptronic will still control the car fine

if you use Cobb, you will run super rich (best case)

or blow up (worst case)

 

If I had a boost leak I would fix the leak ... Or more appropriately yell at Dave until he fixed it

 

I have yet to see one Cobb car make any decent amount of power besides Jamaal's( which also took about 10-12 hours of dyno tuning to achieve). In my experience, and this forum's most Cobb tuned car's power falls off seriously past the 6000rpm range regardless of turbo size, boost pressure, or tuner. I have a hunch( and it appears others are coming to this too) that something the cobb can't control is pulling ignition timing up top. What I have seen is when the torque cruve drops the entire turbo system is flowing cherry red,or its misfiring so bad that its choking on itself( large flame coming out the open dump too).

 

very interesting ... thanks for posting! However, I respectfully disagree ... datalogs show your exact timing which is what you command.

 

just checked out your sig... didn't realize you'd started racing! Are you going to come out and visit us @ Speed1 on the 9th?

 

Probably not ... but I am sure it will be fun ... I asked Speed1 to call me back when their dyno was back online, but I am still waiting

 

I was asking for people's impression of this product in the appropriate section of the forum instead of in a vendor classified. your other thread came up in a search and seemed like the right thread to ask.
