Rob,I understand exactly what you are saying. I'm not going to argue with you any longer. It's pointless. And I have better things to do.

At this point we should be focused on the reason for this thread. Jason's lack of spark.

So Jason,is their any update on finding the root of the problem?

A lab/oscilliscope is the preferred tool to test wave forms and amplitude.

 

Rob,I understand what you are saying. And agree with you to a point. The idea here was to simply test for a output trigger. That's all.

 

If that test probe is airbag safe,then it won't have an issue checking driver outputs on a 93 GSX. I have used one for years to do a "quick checks". Certainly wouldn't use it on CAN-bus or other systems extreme sensitive to current and/or voltage changes.

A lab/oscilliscope is the preferred tool to test wave forms and amplitude. But for a simple test of ecu and igniter outputs,a circuit tester like the Waekon SST will work fine as well.

Do you have the right test equipment to check the ignition output driver form the ecu? If so,check that. Then check the igniter output to the coils.

P.S. If the ecu,crank or cam angle sensors aren't working in harmony you may not have pulse to the injectors either. Use a noid light to test the injector outputs. Could be as simply as a EFI main relay. And even if one of the angle sensors is bad it should still fire the coils. But the car will be in limp mode

what type of dyno does slow motion even have? isn't it some resistance type deal or something retarded like that? put it on a dyno that truly measure load and see what it makes.

It's a DynaPac. It's actually pretty nice for part throttle tuning. Especially with a system that is realtime. WOT is somewhat iffy from my experience. Not very repeatable. And I have used more than 1 DynaPac.

every thread i see regarding different shop is just a ton of who did this and i mad this better. damn.

Nailed it! If you know you might be slamming another shop or tuner,don't post it. Do you see Buschur,Dallas Performance,AMS or any other shop that has pride in their reputation do this?

why not post what YOUR shop can do...and NOT what you think others do shitty.

Nailed it again. When you build/tune a car from scratch that you think is exceptional,then a post is warranted.

I think some clarifaction is in order.

Thorne- What parts did this car have when you tuned it?

Corey- Same question for you. Also,what did you fix mechanically? Obviously it had some issue/issues. Bad BCS?boost leaks? What? Did you guys add any parts?

From what I'm reading,the car had alot of new parts put on it after Thorne tuned it. Being an experienced tuner,I can tell you that adding parts to a nearly stock Subaru without getting it retuned is a no-no. Cat-back is ok. Panel filter is ok. Anything else and you had better call a tuner.

I have seen Subaru's that run deathly lean. And are pulling -5 deg. of learned timing even after the IAM had dropped to a point where it started using the Primary Failsafe fuel/ignitioin maps. All from simply changing the intake.

Kind of screwed up. But it happens.

We know who you are and about your near-future business ventures. I'm surprised it took you three years to post.

I prefer to stay out of the CR chaos. Lol

PS -- Did Eric S. make you sign up to talk about IAT's ?

ROFL! No. But that is a very interesting topic of discussion. Lol.

I've been a member for some years now, quietly observing.

Shawn,

I don't know about over qualified. Lol. Things have been well. Though some things have changed. Nate is doing well.

Just to throw out another option -- I have 4 Certified AEM EMS tuners at the shop and typically I have two of them tuning each car to ensure that it comes out beyond perfect. Just had a customer show up from Detroit on Monday for an EMS Tune (76mm Turbo car) and another that drove down from north of Toronto that is getting tuned this week. Here is a write-up from a customer that drove his car out from Kansas-City to have his EMS tuned 2 weeks ago:

I would put us up against anybody in the Midwest in terms of experience and knowledge with the AEM. Hell, I have had one in my car that Brett has tuned since back in 2000 lol. Get in touch with me if you want to keep it local or just to get a quote

Jeff

This will be my first EVER real post on CR. Lol. Most of you don't know me by name,who I am. or what I'm about. But most will in the near future. And it will be nice to meet all you guys (and gals). So don't start flaming me till you know me. Lol

Hi Shawn. This is Eric H. I have used your dyno in the past. The post above is one about a car a that I'm very familiar with . Ask Horman if you want a close reference.

To all, I wish good luck on your builds. And fast times at the track. I know I'm posting my intro in the wrong place BTW. Haha.
