BBPeik Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 I have considered that, but that would take away my whole "sleeper" factor. Not nearly as fun that way. My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBPeik Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Great day in the morning!! I finally got rid of the annoying ticking. I emailed Bren this morning and the first thing he asked was if I mounted the EBCS to metal. I had it mounted to the frame rail and he said that they make a lot of noise. Sure enough it must have been echoing through the body, there by being more loud in the car. Now my car purrs like a kitten. A very angry kitten, but anyway I am thrilled. Tomorrow I will do my first 3rd pull datalog. So far Bren says all has checked out, so now the real fun begins. Yippee My someday I will be done with it thread.

islandborn Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Ha! I have that same ticking - but I actually like it because it assures me its working. I too have it connected to metal (under my airbox) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 I had it in the same spot. My bigger problem was not so much the ticking, it was more that I did not know what it was. I feel much better now that I know. My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 So I did my first 3rd pull today. I ran a virtual dyno on the new base map vs. my old stage 1 e tune. Very interesting to look at. Even on the base tune HP is up over 50HP. Torque is near identical, but with the new base map comes on at a higher rpm. I am sure that will be worked out throughout the tune though. One thing you can see right off though is how much more linear the power increase is over the previous set up. I plan to keep posting virtual dyno graphs throughout the process so we can see the evolution of the tune.

BBPeik Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Ran the datalog on Rev2 on the way home. Feels faster, but virtual dyno said different. I did run the log quite a bit long though, so that could have something to do with it. Should be talking to the tuner about things tomorrow and will update accordingly.

BBPeik Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 SO I finally got a good datalog for rev2. The first one timing was all off because of heat soak. I had been in traffic right before. Anyway, this one looks like we are heading in the right direction. HP is down a tad but at peak HP rpm is above the HP for the base map at the same rpm. Base map peak was at redline so not really a good place for it. Torque is up about 35 and boost peaked at about 21 with no overboost at all. So all in all Bren is so far doing a great job and things are looking great. Below is the vdyno of the run and then another comparing the base and rev 2. http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah113/BBPeik/Stage%203%20Vdyno_zpse0paiiti.jpg http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah113/BBPeik/stage%203%20vdyno%20comparison_zpsortlqn8h.jpg My someday I will be done with it thread.

cww516 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Based on the fact that MCM's Gramps build was originally a 3rd-gen wagon, I'd say yes. It was a tight squeeze, though, think there were some slim fans involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same engine bay as the H6 outbacks from 00-04 Since you're new. We'll let that post slip through the cracks but threads like this are meant to stay on topic for what is being discussed. DONT discuss this any further create a new thread in the appropriate section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Thanks S2. I was going to mention something, but you beat me to it. pariswalker96: Should fit just fine. I am sure that it would be relatively easy to find a 3.6 used as well, since they were pretty common in outbacks etc.. That being said, welcome to the forum and please try to keep threads on topic.

BBPeik Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Ran the datalogs for rev3 today. Datalogs look great. Power and torque are both up from rev 2. Peak hp and tq are at the same rpm as well. Overall ran great. Still quite a bit of smoothing out to do, but very happy so far. Boost is again just over 21PSI and no overboost sofar. WGDC is at about 55, so still a lot of room there too. http://i1378.photobucket.com/albums/ah113/BBPeik/3rd%20rev%203_zpsmk1co2ip.jpg My someday I will be done with it thread.

jackal8788 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Those are some odd looking curves Brendan! I know VD is a little finicky - anything weird about the road where you did your pulls? Just strange to see the dip and subsequent increase but of course I will be the last guy in this forum to judge [emoji6] VF54 to 20G to VF54 to 18G build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 I know they are a bit strange looking. If you look back at my original stage 1 tune it had similar dips. I am thinking it is a vdyno thing. Bren assures me all is looking real good. I am sure his software is much better than virtual dyno. The road is pretty flat so nothing weird there. We still have several revisions to go, so I am sure things will smooth out. Heres hoping anyway My someday I will be done with it thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBPeik Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Part of it too is what smoothing setting you have it on. The less you smooth the more crazy it is.

BBPeik Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 So I just got word from Bren that my tune is finished. Power is great and really smooth. I especially love the fact that even at half throttle after 3k the boost just flies up to 21. Makes for some really fun cruising. There is more power to be had, but as expected I have run into stock intercooler limitations. SO for the time being I am limited where I am at, mind you I am not complaining, this thing is a rocket. Next step will eventually be a new intercooler. Of course from what I have read there are really not a ton of gains from what is available for us aftermarket, so maybe meth or possibly just a simply water spray for the intercooler. I plan on experimenting with that this weekend. So for now this is where I am at. So, Let the enabling begin My someday I will be done with it thread.
