need to make a driveby vid badly

what is egr?

its just odd that its that lean down low, and then fatten up at the upper rpm's..

it could be a few things ( thats why i am asking about the EGR ), or it could be the programming/tune.

is your tailpipe black?

No CEL?

Who did the program for the ECU?
and when he "tuned" it? what did he do? mess with fuel pressure? or actually talk to the ECU?

[andyman]

Oh... don't worry The guy pretty much reprogrammed all the different parameter tables. It runs real good. My only gripe is the long dwell time on downshifts at wot, made a vid to show him it's still processing as of the time of this posting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiA-RpF0EJw

Damn, that's a fuckin sweet ride, andyman. Took it to the track yet? Sorry if I missed it, didn't read the whole thread...

I got a question, since we're talkin rides. I just got a new FX4 a couple weeks ago and I'm noticing a squeeking in the throttle. It only does it in the middle of the throttle. If I push it further, it stops, and if I just barely give it the gas it doesn't do it. Just right there in between. Kinda sounds like if you had bad brakes, only it never happens when I hit the brakes. Only when I accelerate. Any ideas?

fucking EGR values. they can be a real pain in the ass. try and get it bypassed if you can, you might have to live with the engine fault line if you do.

Awesome setup there fella. But I cant help but look at that air filter, its exposed, and I thought that hot engine air aint great for the performance if the air filter catches it. Slugs it a bit

EDIT: Or was it just my Focus being a cunt-wad after me trying to chav it up with a £50 air cone?

Intake air temp doesn't make as big a difference as commonly believed... The compression is making a much bigger difference to temperature, hence the need for an intercooler.

What does concern me a bit is the availability of air at that spot under the hood. Looks like it could use a vent, Andy...

hows the EGR?

those AFR down low would explain why its a little Sluggish off of idle.

And btw, where the hell is the Drive by movie?
the 4.6 mod on boost almost sounds as nice as a 302.

I saw your pic on facebook, why didn't you accept my friend request?

Lots of drama about situating the air intake in the middle of the engine where there is standing hot air from the engine compartment. Warmer air takes up more space in the cylinder, so you can fit less air and fuel in for each spark.

But there's much more heat generated by a turbo/super setup and the intercooler does a good job of stripping that off... so outside air temp isn't as big a problem as it's made out to be.

I used to have a bunch of dyno results to back this up but alas, no more.

[Doombrain]

but all the dyno fags would cry tears of pain about "Intake air temp doesn't make as big a difference as commonly believed".

I want some forged con rods etc for an 200sx SR20DET engine. Someone hook me up
