Very true, sir. I'm looking into the CSF radiator and a vented hood + SPAL fan on the oil cooler..

appreciate the insight guys.

I got my oil cooler finally! Took a bit of time, but all that matters is it's here and it's going all going in tomorrow AM!

ART pipe is back with new bung for my wideband, header had a sheared heat shield bolt that got drilled out.. gonna loc tite that b!tch in though. My drill skillz aren't as good as I thought. Got some wiring to finish(I HATE WIRING) and yea..

Last thing, TUNE. Sam needs to shoot myself and martin82 over our ROM files and we'll be ready to rock

I told my GF we could take a nice trip this weekend, so that I can have lots of Z time and she can't make me feel bad for it

snowsurfdirtx · 03-21-2014, 03:31 AM

SHE LIVES... started her up a couple times, topped off oil, s/c oil, etc. Nerve wracking for sure, but it fired! No tune from GTM still, gotta call Sam again tomorrow.. really really want to shake the car down this weekend!

Here's a quick video.. more to come of course, I'm just excited it runs, doesn't leak so far and that I didn't break it

sorry for the music, bluetooth magic from the car made it start playing.

edit: i dunno how to embed youtube videos, so if it doesn't work heres the link lol
editedit: found out how to embed videos. lol

Awesome! Can't wait to see her on the road.

snowsurfdirtx · 03-22-2014, 02:23 PM

Thanks man, she saw some street action yesterday! Sam@GTM sent me my tune late yesterday, everything is looking ok, no leaks still and I drove her 5 miles... in my neighborhood

neighbors were watching me, looking confused. Anyway, I'm trying to figure out the log files I have to determine if its safe to drive more and break the blower in, but here's a few revs after I got back from putting around the neighborhood and topping off fluids and stuff.

Sorry for the camera angle, I was excited.

Links not working

How's your exhaust smell? As in richness, air/fuel readings?

the youtube link? weird. It idles around 14.8, when i jump on the gas it jumps down but I haven't given it a good romp WOT yet. It usually jumps around between 14 and I've seen it as low as 10.. Bank 2 is leaner typically than bank 1, and more 'jumpy' in the log. Exhaust smells normal, really. I've got ART pipes. No CEL or anything.

Dzel · 03-22-2014, 04:59 PM

I believe and I may be wrong but as long as your in between 10 and 17 your alright

When you coast its ok even to be higher that 17 because the motor is just giving enough gas to keep it running but on the gas it shouldn't be anywhere near that.

Dzel · 03-22-2014, 05:34 PM

You definitely need to get your tune done asap.

snowsurfdirtx · 03-22-2014, 05:39 PM

Ya, it maxes out at 60 or something when you let off the gas.

I really do man.. The shop I want to have tune it is booked till like the 15th, otherwise I would be taking work off monday to tune. So if this tune looks ok, I'll be able to break it in and putt around till then. Hopefully Sam looks at my log file and sends me a new file with a little more updated tune to throw at it

snowsurfdirtx · 03-22-2014, 05:40 PM

Also, I have the Cipher log if anyone wants to take a look

JWillis72 · 03-22-2014, 06:03 PM

My car runs 14.7 at idle so that sounds right but I agree with Dzel, don't trust a canned tune.

1slow370 · 03-22-2014, 07:09 PM

factory a/f at idle is around 15.3, sounds like you are fine you want it stay under 12.5 boosted and around 11.5 in the higher rpms when you are on it. do a WOT and check the log. if cipher logs knock count you can check that too. most of the startup canned tunes are fine they are usually rich enough to keep you out of trouble.

Edit: the 12.5 and 11.5 afr's may be low when you get it tuned they can push it leaner so long as you don't knock to make more power

Mr&Mrs · 03-22-2014, 07:45 PM

I'm on a slightly tweaked canned tune so I guess it isn't really anymore. Your idle is fine maxing out with a coast is also fine. You need a WOT pull to see what you lean out to in the higher RPMS. Without a knock check I don't like to go over 12 WOT but that's just me being cautious I guess.
