^Wish I would found this forum back in March when I was buying the system.

We are currently trying out some new tunes and also doing some data logging. I'm hoping all these tunes etc will help keep the prices down for future STS owners. My hot start issue is almost gone...still there a bit not as noticable. I keep you all updated but like I said before ,these problems are minor.

On top of that they are more less tuning my car over the phone

and I'm letting them know by ear. So it won't be perfect,yet, but it will be a hell of a lot closer.

We're getting closer and closer. Matter of time....Putting my kit on tomorrow and I have to move the AFR gauge wiring to were it belongs...after the turbo.

erkthejerk73 · 02-24-2012, 08:28 AM

what other gauges do you have? got any pics?

tower74 · 02-24-2012, 08:34 AM

I've got a simple boost gauge...damn the more I look at them the more I want to change them out.
The kit will be here any minute now and I will post some pics of my car when it's finished. I'm hoping this will only take a few hours....at the same time it could take even longer since I'm doing it myself. It it's as easy as swapping out a hood this should be quick.

Marc got a question for you...how much HP will be lost with an exhaust leak and have you guys ever had any of the splice pieces break and or fail?? Can see an obvious leak at the intake pipe under the car (first splice after the catalytic converter)..Call me please. Got a local tuner who will fix the tune and hp issues.

Sub'd. So much valuable info in this thread! Trying to decide on getting this kit or not.

CSA0890 · 03-23-2012, 05:53 PM

is anyone running e85 with this kit?

tower74 · 03-23-2012, 09:17 PM

No, just standard fuel. 93 when I can find it but mainly 91.

Nope. Out of town working until around April 23. Then I'm hoping to get it to Chad. Need these issues solved asap. Just wish I would of went to them first.

Just hoping that when I get it to MKC, that I can finally post some number to be proud of for the 7AT STS. We shall see. I just felt a lot more comfortable with Chad and his knowledge of imports. He seemed to know it was running fat and had an exhaust leak without even looking under the car or doing a wideband when we did the dyno run. The next 4 weeks is gonna suck.

Ya he is a very smart dude when it comes to tuning for fi. then again, i think most people would be if they had a civic pushing a 9 flat 1/4 mile haha
