linky no worky

 

It's up now...my bad...I'm a moron

 

Be patient with the downloads guys. My uplink to the net is only 256K, so these 3.8 - 4.0 Mb vids will take a few minutes to come down.

 

vid starts and stops for me. Its just not my day

 

Yea bro I am not worryed because the car is running perfect. But the last few weeks I was telling my buddy that it just feels like I was loosing HP he told me I was just getting use to the car guess I was right all alone. My only worry is this kit has only been on for about 4 months tops and if its just boost lose or belts will this be something I am allways having to mess with now? who knows. If the car was running bad I would be worryed more.

On a good note after I get the rest of my mods done I should be well over 100 more HP then what I put down today so I guess I have something to look forward to.

Hope this pics comes out

 

Probably just 'cause too many people are pulling 'em down (only takes a few when you only have a 256K connection). My firewall shows my link about maxed out, so try again tomorrow and you should be ok. Sorry.

 

worked ok now bro., thanks

 

quick question guys. I really dont understand this A/F deal. 13.2 is lean right and to high for a FI motor so the lower #'s are better? so mine lowered off after 5k so thats good?

Guess I will park my car to I can get this fixed.

 

Yes, the number is a representation of the amount of air to fuel, so 13.2 means that the A/F mixture was 13.2:1, or 13.2 parts air, 1 part fuel. The higher the number, the more air there is per given volume of fuel. (i.e. an A/F of 17 would be 17 parts air to 1 part fuel). Lower number=rich, Higher number=lean.

13.2 I think is really lean for an F/I car, (in fact it's in the danger zone for a TT kit, but not sure about your HKS kit) because of the higher cylinder pressures. For an N/A car, I think that range is fine (my car was at either 13.2 or 13.5). Most GReddy TT owners shoot for 11.5 and usually no higher than 12. The point of having more fuel in the cylinder (i.e. a lower A/F number) is that the extra fuel keeps the cylinder cooler.

Looking at your graph, it looks like the only reason your A/F dropped is because they got off the throttle at 5K for whatever reason, but it did not actually "rich-up" under load. I don't know by what RPM the S/C reaches full-boost, but I'll bet you're not at peak HP by 5K rpm.

Unless 13.2 is the target A/F for the kit, it looks to me like you're in need of some tuning, but I am by no means an expert at any of this...

 

Ok found this. Speadracers 3 with the same set up as me. So I have big problems somewere


Speadracers dyno air temp outside 65
HKSw/Nismo cat-back: 325rwhp@5600rpm/326lb-ft@4600rpm

me
HKSw/nismo cat-back: 267.6rwhp@5000rpm/284.4-ft@6300rpm

 

Yeah, I got the feeling you were peaking WAY early. These cars should still be building power at 5K rpm.

 

hey guys,
i just wanted to thank everyone for coming out to the meet...it was good to see some familiar faces and meet some new people...too bad my car wasn't done, kinda felt left out u know :-p, but oh well, dont wanna rush the install...just wanna make sure everything works correctly and shes running right. thanks for the comments guys! i really appreciate it, we take real pride in our customers and i know in the past we used to get knocked on alot by the community...so were trying our best for you guys...i tryed to make the meet as enjoyable as possible today...sorry tho about the dyno sessions....we got kinda bundled up with time and the amount of actual runs we had to do...had Mike running around like an animal doing reflash's and dyno runs. but luckely all went smoothly today and we got everything done. Hope everyone enjoyed themselves today though, i had a great time thats for sure. Thanks again though for coming out...hope to have another meet maybe spring time...maybe have a further notice this time though...ill throw some things together with the AAM crew. All of here at AAM thank you for making this day possible though.

You know the more I think about this the more pi$$ed off I am getting becauce I look at it like this. HKS will not unlock the FCON S to be tuned and this kit is set up for OEM motor right? then why am I running this lean?

 

Hey Toby,
after the crew over here at AAM looked over your car for a few minutes we realized the install was possible bad, major boost leak most likely on the BOV/Wastegate (whichever the HKS runs), belts are loose, and possible tunning issues....we also noticed after examining your dyno chart....286 lbft of torque at 2k rpms?? if im correct...is alot...you just have major belt slippage and i beleive a boost leak somewhere...bring it by the shop and well take care of you no doubt...

the belts issue happens most of the time with the vortec kits once we install them...we always gotta go back and re-tighten them down after we put a few miles on it...just this past week we did an install for the vortec kit and had to pull the car in atleast 2 times to tighten the belts after tunning it on the dyno. This is why i loved the ATI procharger...bigger blower...belts look mean as hell and puts out good power with only a 7lb pulley....i beleive i should be hitting 390 or 380 atleast...*crossing my fingers* but we definatley should get that HKS FCON V-pro in your car...we didnt mean to put you on the spot or anything when we whipped it out for you hehehe just highly recommended it when we saw such #'s like we did today, hope everyone got home safely btw...i know a few people got pulled over for some illegal u-turn ******** on the way to the shop from hooters...but nevertheless a good day, glad everyone came again, thank you

it doesn't make sense, but are you sure that it is running lean? what about a leaky blowoff valve? i know it smelled, but could that be because of the valve or a bad belt? sucks that this is happening already. who did the install? have you tried contacting HKS? best of luck...

 

looks like Ben who knows alot more than I did answered my questions.

 

would these problems make me lean? I am more worryed about that then the # I put down

 

hehehe yeah we took a good look at it..shouldn't be too unsafe to drive though, just try and get it back to us for all the work u need done as soon as u can, i know alot of the guys here would love to see the kit perform to its fullest potential, so we will do our best to help you and your baby z out

the lean issue is more along the lines of tunning, just proper tunning...if i could ask, who tuned the car for you??

Ben

 

Wasnt tuned bro I thought this kit came pre tuned and just plug and play
