Lights go on when taking a pot hole.

It started today on my way to college, took a pothole and the pop-up lights went on and off I also noticed the interior light went on and off too. I heard some sort of clicking noise coming from the driver side dash, at the left side of the steering wheel sounded like a relay. Reason I ask is becaus...

Like they said read a lot. Not only here but in other forums and pages, understand how engines and turbo work and the formulas involved to perfectly tune them and squeeze more power. Building a engine is not only about throwing parts in and call it done, a good builder will check tolerances and bala...

correct me if i am wrong but doesnt MS have on board loggin capability? and the ability to like a micro sd card MS3 is the only one.

The LC1 will only work with AFR data logging. You can't daisy chain it except with others LC1. If you get a standalone like MS you can log all the data you want as long as the sensors are connected to it. Still you would need your laptop connected to do so. If I where you I would buy the gauges and ...

in addition to that, ducting the front bumper air inlet to the radiator (boxing in the intercooler and radiator) makes about a 10-15* difference as well. worked well for me smoothing out temps. just used roofing tar paper and duct tape to do mine. have aluminum angle iron and aluminum flashing sitt...

I have done the head gasket trick in motorcycle to increase compression by removing a few layers of the headgasket. I can tell you it's negligible not a power gain at all. I wish I had the before and after dyno sheet to prove it but I don't. Best mod to do to a ZX-12 is move the crank sensor closer ...

I dunno. Well then any idea why I can't put it to the floor? Well, a better wording would be why is half throttle so much faster than full throttle? This is hell on boost pipes! 10-11 psi with a half open throttle body is bad about blowing pipe off of throttle body coupler. Problem with tune or a s...

Hey are you still thinking about doing the duct for the radiator? You posted it a few pages ago in this thread with a link to a DSM forum. I would fabricate it but I have a stock setup so yeah :/

Are you meaning to reinstall the N62 with the stock injectors and ecu or to see if I can go over half throttle? The second option could get interesting! lol
You need stock MAF too.

Different MAF give different readings in terms of voltage signal if they were like stock you could plug them in and it would work in the stock ECU. I never had a ECU from JWT but check if the ECU is marked with the tune or some kind of reference? Most of the tuners put a label with the specs then ag...
