Excellent, excellent

 

Well car is in the shop for the last few things to get done. Dyno is on Sat.

 

Nice build! Looks like everything is going along very well. Very challenging kit to install. Good luck with the dyno coming up and dammit get a video of that thing on it! Curious to see the numbers you will be putting down.

 

Drumroll...

 

Ok so i guess they didn't quite understand when I told them the ecu was a pain to get to, so the new day is Tuesday.

 

waiting with bated breath!

 

Ok so update, should be getting the car back today, they had some issues with the fic and the ecu fighting each each other so it didn't get on the dyne till Tuesday night. Yesterday was put stuff back together day and today they're making sure everything is working like it should.

 

So I got the car back but have another issue, while driving as long as you're in throttle everything is fine but when you go to let off the gas or try to hold at a constant speed it cuts fuel, then when you push on the gas again it hesitates and then goes back to normal. Sounds like a tps issue so we'll see when I take it back tomorrow. GRRRRRRR...................

Oh and it's not a stage 1 kit it's a stage 0 kit so I'm only getting 3psi and 198bhp on a loaded dyno. I'll put up pictures and the dyno sheet later.

answer my question about the maf and i can fix this for ya.

And what is the sensor plugged into the blower?

 

so here is the dyno sheet. Not terrible for only 3 psi.

 

so the car is back in the shop again, they though that it was an issue with the tps and the 70mm TB so they put the stock one back on and it's still doing the same thing. Basically the issue is that the tps isn't reading the correct throttle open percentage and is cutting fuel and causing all the problems. The voltage is good on it though so they are going to check the FIC wiring again for loose wires, and if that doesn't work they're going to pull the tps tap from the FIC and put it back to the ecu and see if that works. And if both of those don't fix it them a new tps sensor. And if that doesn't work them I have no idea.

 

This is the main problem, after I reste the ecu everything is fine for a day or so then the problem pops back up. Then I reset the ecu and it's fine again, and so on and so on. Any help would be great.

 

I feel your pain on that. I don't have the time nor patience to do what you did for the install. I'm taking my kit to an Ripp Mod authorized dealer/ installer here in Phoenix AZ. They've installed over 100 of these kits and will do it plus tune it for $1000. Next door is their dyno shop and I get three pulls for $75. I'd appreciate being able to guage your parts list for the build with what I have so I can make sure I have everything before taking it to them to get started.

 

The kit really isn't that hard to install, I did it on my garage in just a few days. The only headaches have been this rps issue the last two days. It's not a bad kit either, i'm looking at around 45 extra hp on 3 psi and that's with the 3.5" pulley. Just shoot me a pm of your list and i'll give it a look. Also pm shady if you have questions, he helped me on pretty much everything.

 

SO after a few more days of playing with different things and tweaking the tune a little more I think it's finally ready to come home. The shop put about 25 miles on it today with no issues so cross your fingers. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow so we shall see if it works.

 

VIDEOS ARE REQUlRED

 

he is right!!!^^^

 

lookin good dude

 

So got the car back yesterday, unfortunately the issue hasn't been totally resolved. The car runs great for a while then the ecu and the fic start to fight each other and that's when I have the issues. TPS is good and the tune on the fic is almost perfect, all the afr's are good all the fuel trims are good. It's an issue with the ecu reading 0% throttle when you're cruising or you back almost all the way out of the throttle, and so it cuts fuel.

So short term fix is to reset the ecu when it happens, because everything goes back to normal once you do that. Then drive it till it does it again and reset it again. Hopefully the ecu will learn to work with the fic eventually. Long term fix is a standalone EMS, so anyone got a hydra they want to get rid of?

But other than that the car runs great, pulls hard all the way to red line. The blower sounds good, nice little whine. I'll get some pics up later today and maybe a vid if I can find my camera.

 

I had an issue on my old tib, that I thought was a bad tps, but it just turned out to be an unused fic wire grounding its self becuase it came loose.... Thought id share. Your build looks nice!

Oil temp gauge but no Oil Pressure?

 

They went over the wiring a few times to make sure it wasn't a loose wire or anything related to that. And it's not oil temp it's oil pressure.

 

Will be updated with pics and a video tomorrow, sorry weathers been bad and works been crazy.

 

Can't wait!

+rep for undertaking one of the most involved F/I jobs known to the tiburon. Awesome job!

 

So here ya go people pics and a video!!!! Enjoy

 

Only one word to describe that; sexcellent!!

 

That sounds is incredible! Love it! Great job man.

Next mod is to remove the door chime, yea?

 

nope next mod is the D2 coilovers I have sitting in my garage. That's next weekend. Then save up some money to get a smaller pulley and re-tune for the supercharger.

Smaller!?!? That's no fun

 

smaller crank pulley would lower the rpm thus reducing boost.

 

oh look who it is, THE OTHER LIAR! YOU TWO CANADIAN LIARS! why don't you go make up some more stories about taking pictures of your plasti-dip YOU LIAR!!

 

That's us crazy Canadians eh?
