Bam Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Damn that sucks.....and to think you walked on everyone when we were out, lol. Can't wait to see what the retune will do for you. You coming out this week? Zach did his big turbo upgrade and wants some runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 At this very moment I have realized that I know nothing about cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhga Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 oh.. i doubt that i'll get tuned by this weekend =[ it's too far to waste gas for nothing you know.. what turbo did he get tho? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 That's why AP and a Pro-tune is better platform........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs.cos Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Who tuned it originally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
controler Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 haha ricochet What turbo are you running because a TT isn't really needed unless you are running oil cooling only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 lmao @ ricochet. i agree with spaceghost. sucks though. good thing the scoobies arent too prone to blowing up. do that in an rx-7, and its time for a new motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villision1647545496 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 My friends u-tec did something like that to him all the time. His always did it when he tried to update his firm-ware. Nevertheless, this makes little to no sense to me. I don't understand what a turbo-timer would do to a u-tec to make it do that. But what I really don't understand is why the car was knocking. The u-tec base-map runs little to no timing and is pig-fucking rich. With that is mind, how does a car knock when those aspects are present?

nuhga Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I switched over from AP to utec.. you can find alot more tuners around here with utec than AP.. utec seem to be more consisitance than AP about tuning for more mods. Car felt alot smoother with AP tho. I dunno why my utec did that either. I have called turboXS but they said only way this can happen is if i over wrote my map or my tuner never tuned my car.. (which both arent true =[ ) I was thinking it's because of Turbotimer install because that's the only time i touch'ed my car other than driving it.. and i think that's about time my cel start'ed blinking on high boost etc. i thought some kind of electric shock or something but if that ever happend my whole utec should of been messed up(car shouldn't even start) I dont really know much about AFR but I dont think basemap is all that safe since it's for smaller turbo and smaller intercooler for mine... maybe thats why knocking? i dunno, all I know is cel was blinking on the boost (knock) ops edit: im running fp18g and i was too lazy to hook up water cooling setup .. =/ and I got tuned by Bryon meade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuhga Posted November 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 After turning the key off and getting out, a turbo timer keeps the engine running for a minute to let the turbo cool down. It's a hundred dollar thing for lazy people who don't wanna sit there with the car and wait. =/ sometimes I miss bus during that few mins so i have to wait 15 more mins waiting for next bus.. I got my tt for 50bucks so not so bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EGOKILLER Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 man that sucks, sorry to hear that. but i doubt installing your turbo timer had anything to do with your utec wiping out your map. you need to watch that knocking though, the only knock my motor whould see was between shifts and they would be small counts like 01-05 or so and my motor is done for. i'm guessing ring lands but i should know in a week or so once the motor is out and apart.

villision1647545496 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I vouche(sp?) for bryon meade, he did you no wrong. I am shocked as can be. Generally, the utec dumps way too much fuel in. If you have the equipment, what are the enjectors scaled to, and what are the actual size of the enjectors Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
