    I think you should stop buying stuff for your car for a while, until you get everything running good first...just don't toss stuff on it over and over, it'll be more difficult to narrow down your problem

    PLUS

    Gimme that money, I'll put it to good use

    The reason it feels like you have more power down low, is because you probably lost 20+whp up top. Your afr's are out in left field (maybe even on the football field). You need to get it fixed asap or it will blow up. You have been told multiple times. Put the other map back on and run good gas, not that 91 crap. Then get someone to look at it that knows what is going on.

    No, it is something in the ecu that is doing it. This is a first allocation car, and they have been known to do some wierd things.

    Again, no. EGT has to do with timing more so than afr. This will be funny. What are you running for egt?? WOT top of the rpm band 3rd/4th gear. Nobody say anything until Taras posts up his egt.

    Oh ya, TIC TOC.

    Honestly, you tell change his current map because it'll blow (tic toc) then encourage a WOT run to make fun of him. What's the sense in that?

    I think he should just sell his car and buy a Civic.

    Egts are below 1400 at wot most of the time on highway cruising its around 1200 or lower. The be honest i cant here any audible knock. The Iam is at 13 and does not bounce back and forth its is solid there. The top boost was at 16.85 psi read with a logger.

    I was also answering his questions. He is also running 91 oct gas when he has been told multiple times that his tune was for 92 shell gas. I was also asking what his egt's are at a certain area, and since he really doesn't seem to care what he is running for gas with the current state of his car, he has probably already done the wot pulls. So I was looking for the info on what he was running at those times.


    Taras, where is the egt?? Those are kinda low (about 200 degrees), or ungodly high if it is celcius. But if the probe is in the uppipe or something like that the temps may be more inline with the location of the probe.

    Well, i run shell 92 now and will only run shell or BP gas from now on. The probe is in drivers side manifold on cylinder 3. And the gauge is maddad in Fahrenheit(sp).
