Spencer@CorkSport Got a 2009 MS3

[SpencerC]

Recent Datalog Tonight. Good to see run 2-3 so close. Means the road must be pretty accurate, especially since one is a 3rd gear and other is 4th pull. Not sure why Pull 1 is so low.

[breakfstincluded]

I often get the same thing, as if it needs a warm up pull in the high rpms first. A few times I've had my pulls always increased rating in order they were done.

No idea Id there's science behind that observation

I make it a point to do some spirited throttling on the way to my logging place

[SpencerC]

Hmmm... actually that might make sense. I had done 4-5 pulls before on a different tune, then swapped to this tune, and drove for 3-5 minutes, then did 3 pulls..... maybe still calibrating... or something

[AlsChopShop]

Your BATs are going to drop under boost.... Maybe that is part of it? Just heat soak going away?

Vdyno battle!!! here's my latest with 12 degrees above ambient BATS on my side in 35 degree corvallis lol

4th gears definitly seem to get me more power on vdyno, and the pattern does seem true that proceeding runs gets more too

AFR on my 1st run is suspicious lol

[SpencerC]

Those are all the same day? Yikes how does it get from 227hp to 274hp. That's a big jump!

[AlsChopShop]

Um..... If boost isn't limited in 3rd then it just shows how shitty v-dyno is.... LOL

Al

[breakfstincluded]

yeah same half hour range, same road back and forth which makes me nervous someone will hear and report me lol

I do back and forth on the same road for each gear, so I can assume an average between them. Except we've been talking about this pattern of consecutive runs showing higher numbers so not so sure anymore lol.

the 1st 4th gear run is cut short of redline because I saw an oncoming car in the distance.

[SpencerC]

Upgrades since last Vdyno, TMIC, Racepipe, and now Stage II tune from CorkSport. Not a bad increase. at least 20-25 hp. I need to do it again with just me in the car though. I had two friends with me.

Hey, thanks for quoting the entire post and including the pictures... my scrolling finger was getting weak and this should strengthen it back up.

no need to delete entire post - just delete the pics when you quote someone, unless they're necessary to your post.

Nice. I'm sure you are just hoarding the flowers for yourself. Just kidding. less than 2k miles.... and still not modded I mean, come-on, that is way to long. Mine had only 107,000 before modifications.... of course I owned it for all of 200 miles of that before the first mod! So you've got almost 1800 miles on me.

Well I'm up to 6k now and if you check recent orders you'll see that I have more goodies coming my way!

I'm looking at the mods in your sig and 2 things come to mind.. @ouchmonkey;

1) Are you running with upgraded fuel pump internals?

2) Do you have a Cobb AccessPort?

Nope. Neither. That's why I join you montley lot. To learn such things! I was reading last night and figured my next move was HPFP internals but I don't know much about the AP. I mean, I know what its purpose is but how it acheives that is beyond me for now. Kinda like posting a quote with pics and all included! I'm a newb to Forums and the world of tuning, so I appreciate you all taking the time to school me a bit. Don't worry, I will do my home work too.

So, you are suggesting those two items to be next on the list? I need to read up on APs before going any deeper to avoid sounding like too much of a know-nothing.

Thanks again,

Oucher

There are tons of threads on fuel pump internals and also on tuning with the accessport.

Before you go further with any more power mods though, you need to upgrade your internals.

[spdtrux]

^ I agree.... I think AP should be everyone's first mod (most bang for the buck plus all the System monitoring dataloging)! Then HPFP internals.

Especially w/ all the mods in your sig.

and Yay Spencer ...
I just went over 1,500 miles since i bought my Speed in June. and $3k+ in mods

[Speed3KG]

Congrats on the car. Seems like you got a solid deal on it. Just be careful once you start adding mods cuz it will get so addicting then you will have to stomp your brother's wrx sti swap. Haha

[Ru5tyNut5]

@ouchmonkey I see you have a DRZ400 in your sig, is it the SM model or dirt?

Thanks,

SM. I need to set up my extra set of wheels with some knobbies though, so I can join a group of my friens who are dirt only.
