Turbo BS Thread

In case u didnt know, if u mess with ur fuel tables, ur mpg output is affected... (this is coasting so fuel cut, but thats still 100mpg more than it used to be, even broke 200 a time or two)

 

Those trims are out of hand lol

 

I know they are terrible but it wont start if i dont have that much fuel pulled at max vac and low rpm. As soon as vacuum gets less than ~20inhg they go to ~10% (i know that still isnt great but im chalkin it up to a vacuum leak i havent found yet and the ecu is still able to keep my afrs in check so i dont wanna tune around a problem just to have to retune once it's fixed)

 

I would Email him directly at boostlab

 

Seems like getting an ecu control just opens up a whole other set of problems in the pursuit of speed and power.

 

You mean "relieves" a whole set of problems.

 

It just seems like its complicated to get the maps right.

 

most of my issues I think have come from vacuum leaks and I have tried to tune around them, just thinking that the tune was the problem. I think you can understand how terrible vacuum leaks are and the issues that come from them

 

How complicated was it to get all of the mechanical issues right, with your turbo?

 

Yes !! and I'll eventually get some kind of fuel management.

 

Standalones (haltech, megasquirt, etc) are less complicated to tune than piggybacks (IMO), since you are not tuning around the stock ECU and, instead, you are just telling the ecu exactly what to do. The hard part is in the initial set up, just getting all the correct settings dialed in for your particular vehicle.

 

I'll be getting another car in the next month or so and and I'll be able to spend more time on the truck.

 

If 5psi Boost is about the same as the v6 whats 10 psi

 

More... I would guess somewhere around a stock supercharger v6

 

I think the stage 2 URD system is running around 10 psi which gets you to about 250 whp.

 

If anyone needed to feel inferior today....

@Torspd what are ur thoughts on all this? Can $30 worth of anything help my tranny with its new found torque monster of an engine mate?

It looks similar to the DIY kit that level ten has.
