Not Happy With My Tune
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2013 9:25 am
So I got my car tuned last night. Overall experience was not so great.
Mid tune, my tuner thought my clutch was slipping. Told me he was done, nothing we could do. We let it cool down, and gave it another run. Then he said he felt like the spark was blowing out, so we gapped them down to .020. made another run, and made more power no slip. So it wasn’t my clutch. Then I asked him if he was doing the fuel first, then timing. He said no, I already set timing .
I also must add,that my tuner was going off hondata AFR which was showing leaner than my wideband. He was showing 11.2-11.5 WOT on s300, and my wide band was 10.2 or so. WTF. I brought this up and told him that my gauge is going to be more accurate, and him and the other guy their said that the gauges go out all the time and he would rather err on the side of caution.. makes no sense as its pulling the dam AFR from that same sensor.
The other guy kept bashing on my turbo because it was so small. He said if i had a gt30 it would spool way faster and make more power. we got into this debate about twin scroll, and he said it doesnt help with spool, it only helps with top end. and im pretty sure he was the owner. not impressed.
This was some issues, amongst others...
Can you guys take a look at this tune? When I left, I got on it and it seems extremely laggy. I don’t feel it really START going until 4500 which doesnt feel right for my evo 8 turbo and properly divided manifold, and he set my rev limiter to 7k??. So, after 1 pull, I decided to put on my det can and take a listen, very heavy detonation!
HELP
set up:
d16z6
vitara/custom length rods
stock head
evo 8 turbo
600cc injectors
tuned to 23lbs...
thanks guys
