When I took it to Vince, he asked me what I wanted out of the car/tune. I said it would be nice to see anything over 500 rwhp, as long as he thought it was safe to do. The final numbers is what he came up with after that conversation. He did tell me that he doesn't recommend tracking the car on high boost. I trust him and his tune.

.

I like this line of thinking, Im gonna get a basic EBC maybe a GFB then I could have normal wastegate pressure when cruising around and kick it up to high boost with the controller when needed, there was some debate, but I am told I could do this all on the same map, but I will ask them about it when I get tuned.

There is no debate. It is one map. I have a 93 octane map, and a 91 octane map. Both are good for high and low boost and there is no issues running rich. Vince is one of the best tuners out there and takes pride in his work, he would not steer his customers wrong with this.

FWIW, Mr.Squeeze had Vince tune his 600+ rwhp beast and he also has one map.

Talk to Vince, he'll take the time to fully explain things for you.

Ya this will be his second time tuning this car haha, he did my 350 too, just wish they were closer, I would give them a lot more business, nothing against our local shop, but they primarily are into civics and drift cars, but moved into a new facility are are doing some dang good fab work, plus one of their guys worked with my father some years ago, they were first to market with a turbo kit for the new gen civic and they build their kits like Sasha complete bolt on and high quality parts, they have a bright future, I will probably have them build my crash bar.

Well it runs and drives just combating one minor but strange oil seep from one line, just have to fix that, bumper back on then put the interior back and it will be a,wrap!

As per email...just let me know if you need a replacement hose, or any other part that may be needed to fix the small leak.

Joepro 03-07-2014 10:32 PM

No problem Sasha,as soon as I figure out why it's doing it with 2 different lines ill let you know, im missing something...prob some sort of installer error!

This is the way my car is setup as well, except 91 and 100 octane. Really makes things simple!

Fantastic!!! Another VQ running a BP kit.

Ever figure out where the leak is coming from?

Joepro 03-08-2014 07:42 AM

I know where it is comnig from, but I even swapped the line and it still leaks, its strange, its not like a gusting leak, I think some people may have even missed it to be honest...its seeping not at the threads of one of the elbows but when the elbow goes into the fitting, and with a line I know that did not leak, very strange, all things considered, minor issue.

GaleForce 03-08-2014 08:41 AM

What/where is the fitting leak?

I had minor leaks at the oil filter relocation plate. I needed to remove and reinstall thread tape to fix it.

Joepro 03-08-2014 09:41 AM

That is why it is weird, it is no leaking from the threads its from the fitting itself, I am going to re asdust everythnig today and see what happens.

I think Mitch had an issue with that and ended up replacing the fitting with a different one.

Joepro 03-08-2014 10:06 AM

Fixed as of now, my fault as I suspected! all is good!
