^^^ Yea i understand that but, if im increasing the boost that means a higher chance of detonation right? I want to run race gas for more psi, not more power at the same psi. I mean does a retuned ecu automatically back off the timing more with higher boost. Ive seen my knocklite go off on really ho...

Tuning for race gas?

I want to see how much I can get out of my current setup so I am going to start running race gas and as much boost as I can. Im trying to figure out what I will need to do as far as tuning. Right now I have an EFI ecu tune with an SAFC 2. t3/t4 turbo. Also have a knock lite. Should I be able to get ...

Disabling knock sensor. Keeping knocklite

Im pretty sure my knock sensor is picking up fasle knock so I want to disable it. But I want my knocklite to work still. Ive heard about the 1 megaohm resistor, but im not sure exactly how it works. From what ive gathered the resistor has to go in between the signal wire which goes to the ecu and a ...

Just installed my KTS coilovers along with the b-magic 30mm overfenders that came with my body kit. The overfenders dont really line up the same on each side and one seems to stick out a little farther than the other, but oh well. Ive known for a long time this will never be a show car lol.

You could get an MSD BTM or whatever its called to use with the safc. I cant remember exactly how they work, but I know you can better control timing with that then just using the distributer. Id say it would be worth reading up on.

My last 1/8 mile was a 7.8@92.5 off 7psi. my s13 is gutted though. What turbo are you running? What wheels/tires? What rpm are you launching ...

Have you removed the upper timing chain guide or whatever its called?
Mine sounded something like that then finally left me stranded one day. Pulled off the upper timing chain cover to find that guide completely broken off just floating around in there.

Yea I dont think you will be the least bit dissapointed.

I thought I had a **** tune at first, but now realize it was all just little things on my end like sensors and stuff. I think that is the case with most peoples "bad tunes".

Awesome tune for the money.

Ok so ive been fighting my afr's for a while now and I think im almost there. Idle- 13.XX-16.XX Mostly right around stoich though. Cruising- 14.XX-15.XX (with an occasional flash of 13.XX and 16.XX) WOT- 11.XX My major concern is during low boost/partial throttle situations, im seeing 13's-14's. Lik...

For removing the valve clips, you can make your own tool. Get a big c-clamp, a decent sized socket, and a small magnet (the rod shaped type). Cut a section out of the socket (the bigger the better). Put the solid end of the c-clamp on the valve. Then, put the socket on the valve retainer, and the ot...

To anyone having this problem- Theres a good chance it is a bad CTS. Or your TPS is bad or needs adjusting. I replaced my CTS and adjusted my TPS at the same time, and problem fixed.

TPS and Z32 mafs voltages. SAFC 2 sensor check. Questions.

1st off what exactly are the specs for the z32 maf voltage? Mine is about .46 w/ ignition on and car off. I know the tps voltage is suppose to be .4-.5 volts per fsm when the throttles closed. But what is the spec for throttle open? Everyone seems to get around 4.5 volts, but mine is more like 4.2 v...
