.Catalyst. Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I dont' have an answer to the AP questions since I'm open source. I responded to your email, and if you are missing anything for the BCS or fittings let me know. Your pricing on the PW is fair so if that's the route you go, I definitely am interested!

DerekDaniel Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 well I figured out why the eff my AFRs were acting all shitty after boost test.... Wow the dealer put my air filter in horizontally when it should have been in vertically.... So the filter wasnt sealing properly to the airbox! turned it and now nice and snug and my AFRS are consistently closer to 0 at wot, cruising and idle!!! Imma punch the service dept guy in the face!

ripemeat Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 this is why this forum exists, to prevent the dealer from doing any sort of work to the car, unless they're paying YOU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekDaniel Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 lol yeah I wish I would have caught that a few months ago, but I also had a hole in my turbo inlet, and yes I try my best not to take my car to the dealer as they have proven their incompetency especially with this. The filter/airbox connection still looks like there is a slight gap at the top of the airbox, as if the filter is just a lil too short to touch the top of the airbox, but I am not really worried b/c it is in at-least the proper way, and... I read this is ok b/c the filter is slightly smaller than original.... The top clamps actually feel like they are more snug too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haight 05LGT Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 What gear are you logging in? 2k to 6500 in less than 7 seconds? First gear? second? Logs should be done in third gear preferably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekDaniel Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 I am logging in 3rd gear for my tuner, and then I do an automatic wot run, after to see how it looks because I never drive in manual mode, and I noticed with a previous tune with nothing but 3rd gear logs looked good but when I went wot in auto the data was not so good due to automatic shifting. I think tuners need to take that into account also, to see how the car behaves under normal operation. I usually label my 3rd gear and auto logs. and if I do an auto wot I usually start around 25-30 mph and take up to 80-100 mph. 3rd gear usually from 2k to 6k rpms.

Logs should be done in third gear preferably. the logs I posted on here are in automatic, except for one I believe is a third gear run. I don't see why logs should be done solely in 3rd because they may look good in that gear but, while in automatic the wot logs do not look so good. So I log more often in auto. Where did you see 2k-6k in 7 secs? and is that good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I log more often in auto. Where did you see 2k-6k in 7 secs? and is that good or bad? You're right in that a tune needs to be tested in all conditions to be sure it's good, but the process needs repeatability through most of the steps. A tuner cannot make changes based on one situation and then assess the effects from another situation. Automatics are a pain in the ass. It happens to me sometimes that I've tuned the car to very smooth boost control in one gear (usually 3rd) and then in testing it will overboost on a hard shift from 3rd to 4th if that occurs somewhere near where peak boost is set. You have to go through the process for one gear first. If you have issues when driving in your normal way, or even doing what I call stress testing... trying to induce overboost etc., then make a note of what happened. If you can repeat the behavior then do so while logging so your tuner can see clearly what the issue is. It's already very difficult to do remote tunes, so don't make life harder for your tuner.

DerekDaniel Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 I see the oem parts shows it horizontal, but trust me when it was horizontal it literally would just fall out of the front part of the air box, when I flipped it to vertical it went in all snug, maybe its a different design than oem? dealer put it in I forget what the part number was but I looked it up and it was correct, perhaps I got a jacked up airbox? either way its working now so imma leave it how it is.. Never in my life have I had so many issues with a car!!!! Plus the clamps on the top are actually tighter now as before they wher kinda loose, the filter isnt exactly square either it is slightly rectangular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you mean about finishing on gear completely then tweaking from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell If I wanted a shitty car I would have bought American I guess subaru isnt living up to its reputation any more, They probably put the pics on wrong so people mess there car up and bring it in for service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
