RooTBeeR Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I don't have a tuner yet. The knock is from the higher CR on a stock tune. I just remembered that that AP allows me to retard the timing up to -5°. So I'll see how much that helps first.

MTBwrench Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Keep in mind that's a global timing reduction, so when you get to the end of your break in and you start hooning it around, knock may actually get worse towards redline with full boost because the timing is so low. Orrrrrrr, you can do a little calculation and manipulation to the timing in the OTS stage (whatever stage you are at the moment) map, and adjust WGDC so that you're running on wastegate boost. I'd be too afraid to do it though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk MTBwrench's Stage 3 5EAT #racewagon 266awhp/255awtq @17.5psi, Tuned By Graham of Boosted Performance Everyone knows what I taste like.

RooTBeeR Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 I just put the economy tune on it. Once I'm broken in, I'll put on me TGV deletes, injectors, fuel rails, and high flow downpipe. Then tune time. "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 What sort of break in should I for for my new valve train?(bottom end has 14k on it already) You con't need a break in for just new valves.

RooTBeeR Posted August 31, 2015 Author Share Posted August 31, 2015 Valves, heads, cams. Sounds good. After work I'm going to head over to the DMV and get my temporary registration so that I can go get it smogged. And hope it passes so that I can get my actual registration and then go down and see Mike about a tune "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris GTO TT Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Did you force it ready with the AP? Otherwise I'm impressed it had enough of the monitors ready with how little driving you've said you've done. Either way congrats!

RooTBeeR Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Got a CEL on my way to work, got scared/saddened. Which is just the cat low efficiency code, and I've no idea why it would suddenly be throwing that. Glad I got it smogged yesterday! Had to use the built in reader since the latest APv3 firmware is messed up and gives me a fatal error when trying to check DTC's. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/01/70f575f3eceee65a0099b91573110e17.jpg "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope didn't know you could force them on, or you mean with the tune? Had about 65miles, figured I'd try it. All went well. They always say drive 50-60 miles to get the monitors in ready state.

rebourne Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 How is stage 2 going to help with the high compression knock situation? And curious why Mike for tuning. We have WAY too many options here, it's literally given me decision anxiety. Church, Road Race (His name is also Mike, great guy, did my wife's evoX), Jesus/Jon (HBspeed -> Cobb -> 5150 Racing), Yimi Sport, Mike@Infamous, and of course Cobb. And I'm leaving out 3 or 4... I was hanging out with Shawn (Church) before he became a turner, back in my Honda days... and I also know Jon. But I like what Mike's doing with Delicious and the corn. I have no idea, but the time is coming soon to make a decision. We can take this one to PM if you want... don't need a tuning flame riot. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTBeeR Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Stage 2 wont help knock lol... Less back pressure though? I'm going with Mike/William(Bill) Delicious because I want to have a flex fuel tune. Run 91 or corn all willy nilly, no tune switching, no worry about how much of the other fuel is left in the tank when switching back and forth.

RooTBeeR Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Oh, and I believe that this little turd is the one that replaces the TMIC o-ring... which I will probably have the TMIC off in order to do the downpipe because of the factory heat shields so I figure I might as well change it over. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/02/cb1f83c12dedafef123a0caec1489f46.jpg "Build" Thread <--Link (OLD) '05 EJ255 now a '13 EJ257 Bottom End w/D25 heads (NEW) Forever Slow [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
