Octane Question

[87natty]

Ooh, check your motor mounts and check if your downpipe is smacking the frame. Do you have a torque strap?

Did the MAF help with the miss at idle? what are your kr counts goin into 2nd? and do you only see it at the shift?

Motor mounts have never been checked so thats on the list of things to check, don't have a strap.  Thanks for the ideas.

1turbo6...the detonation comes in as the car boosts up,  I havent put it to the floor in 2nd gear cuz I know the detonation is coming.  It gets to about 3.0 to 5.5 and my foot comes out of it immediately.  No it still misses at idle(intermittently) and I haven't checked it at WOT till I get more race gas.

if your running the newer version of the turbotweak chip you can try to take a degree or two of timing out to see if it makes a difference.

I got the TT chip about 4 to 6 mnths ago,  I am gonna look to see if I can find my directions but how do I change the timing with the chip??

Instructions are awesome..... if you read them!!!  Pretty cool how this stuff can be done by the chip.  I'll give it a shot in a day or two and I'll let you guys know what happens.  

[1turbo6]

how did you make out with this??

[kma697]

Had 1 test run since last week and it seems the miss in 2nd and 3rd is gone!!!! :yawinkle:   I will be going to the track on Wednesday provided its open so I'll know more then.

[1turbo6]

hows the kr counts and idle? better?

[kma697]

Everything is running alot smoother.  Don't know if I want to mess with the chip it seems that doing that might mask the problem as opposed to finding it and fixing it first.  Idle has never been a problem.  Will be getting an adjustable FPR and boost gauge so I'll be able to tune a little better(I HOPE)

[kma697]

Or is too much timing in the chip a common problem?? :doh;

Eric does a very good job, but every car is a little
different and requires a little "tweaking".

Well better late than never.....I bumped the timing down on the chip to 120 from 128 and HOLY SHIT!!!  Tires go up in smoke quick and gettin squirrelly in 2nd!!!   Shoulda tried this when you told me to RR!!@!     I owe you a beer or two if you come down to CTC.

[Recklessrob]

Somethin' tells me I'll end up in a comatose state with
no recollection of CTC.
