So I talked to the tuner today and he has been working on the car all day just to get the car to try to shift right before he puts it on the dyno.Last update I called a few hours ago he said he finnally has it shifting fine he said he had to mess with the pressure setting for the fmu.So anyways I pick up the car tomarrow after he tunes it tonight and will post another update.Also I talked to vortech today and the tech spoke to the guy who made to kit and said another posible answer for the shift prob could be in the fmu pushing to much pressure and causing an over rich problem at shift point.His solution was to purchase a smaller washer from them that goes inside the fmu to convert the ratio from 8 to1 over to 6to 1.the washer costs about $30.

 

I will be curious to see A/F ratios from the dyno runs tonight; do you have previous dyno runs to compare?

Also if possible screen shot your fuel / timing maps so we can see.

 

Coletta...will you ask your tuner how he adjusted the FMU .Would like to know if mine doesnt straighten out after tuning....thx...Bill

 

I'm assuming he changed the "ON" conditions for the auxiliary pump so that it isn't on unless there's a couple pounds of boost.

I will definitly post my results tomarrow when I get them.(dfw350z) no I do not have any previous runs to compare tomarrow will be the frst.

(zimbo)I am not sure what he messed wiht but I think he said somthing about ajusting the psi presure or somthing like that I will get all the info tomarrow.

When I talked to vortech today the engineer basicly told me that the fuel map on the ss does'nt do that much He said it mainly ajusted fuel in the mid rpm range and that it ajusted the whole computer fuel not just the fmu.He said the fmu is only working on boost pressure ,therefore the only way to signifintly change fuel was to change the ratio in the fmu by opening it and switching washers.

 

hey coletta...

glad to hear Sam is making progress...


not that i had any doubts w/ him (lol... he must love us Z/G guys, with our 'non' domestic tuning issues...)


any chance you wanna make it out to clearwater beach this sat nite?? im trying to get as many z-g's to line the beach strip as possible!!

anyway, keep us posted (you running 8lbs , or the 3.33 pulley??)

-sms

 

yea I might try to make it out there.Also yes I am running the 8lb pulley.I am going to pick the car up in a few hours I will post my results.

 

well got the car back and it is shifting good the car put down 335hp and 302 torque I will try to post the dyno and a/f sheet here in a few. These #'s are also on a load bearing dyno.Might go for the larger pulley later but for not Im happy.

 

heres the dyno

 

Ok that did'nt work how can you post pics here?

 

email me the photo and I'll host it for you.

pics sent!

 

excellent news!!!

dont stress the dyno numbers, either....

thas AT LEAST (approx) 358 RWHP on any DJ series drum!!

not bad at all, IMO

glad that you are having success.....

how's she runnin???

 

Just went for a ride and it pulls like crazy definatly gets the adrenalin going.

 

Did you happen to have the tuner or installer...check your BOV ?...Oh...what was it the the tuner did to get it to shift right ?.....The new power is fun isnt it !!!!!

 

Check it for what?Everything seems to be working fine and boost is going up to about 8 lbs at redline.

 

Just to see if its adjusted right...but it looks like your ok..if you got 8lb's

 

How big is the file? I didn't get it. Maybe you can resend.

--Steve

 

maybee this will work.

 

coletta, please email it to me, i will resize/crop/enhance it for the forum, and upload it directly myself (or i can host it on my site, with my coastal chassis dynographs!!)
