NGK 8 plugs are what you want... cpd was fouling 7s all day long

krdshrk

I ordered some Denso IK24's.

I think the reason i was fouling them was the lack of exhaust. but those ik24's should be great

When are you going to Dyno it when you get the rest of your parts installed?

Pillar pod's here. Vito - I got the boost gauge. Awesome, man! Thanks!

Spark plugs and dezod harness should be arriving by friday. Hopefully the Boost controller will be too.. I'm not too sure about that . UPS says an eta of monday

We'll see how everything goes... I want to be able to control the boost properly.

Ok well. Here's what's up. The turbo was installed today, but not all of the options are in. I'm still missing my BOV, Gauges and most importantly, the TUNE

Perry, the tuner at Ripp/PRA was stuck in israel and couldn't make it back.

Unfortunately, the GReddy EManage didn't have a base map in.... so I had to drive back home using the stock ECU. That was.. fun.

The car was running so rich that it wouldn't idle right. I'm gonna try to reset the ECU tomorrow to see if that helps. Hopefully I can get off of work on Monday to finish the install.

But, for the most part, it's in.

Install pics:
Removed the stock midpipe, spipe, and header:




ZPI Spipe and Tsudo Midpipe are in:



Manifold Installed:


Painted the IC Black:



Still missing some but it's in:

Oh yeah - Does anyone know if I hook up my laptop to the Emanage with the GReddy CD that came with it, would that write the pretuned basemap to it? If I could get that in, I should be able to run better, and it would save me the trouble of either nursing the car back to RIPP or towing it.

BTW: That exhaust combo I have sounds AWESOME. Once I get the car tuned, I'll get a video of it. I LOVE how it sounds now.

Go to Dezod's tech help section they have a copy of the greddy base map for emanage-blue and emanage ultimate (The one included in the greedy turbo kit for the tC). I've downloaded the map and it's okay but it adds a lot of fuel on the top end.

Here is a link to the map

If you want the car to at least run set the injector correction from 370cc to ###cc (That being what ever injectors you got 440 is the typical value I belive) This will keep the car running fine until you get the car tuned. Stay off boost until then and you will be okay.

awesome, glad to see it fits even with the dipstick between the pipes....

now, please tell me you did an initial ecu reset (unplugged the battery when you were working) becuase there should be no reason for you to be running RICH at idle... you messed up something (and yes, even with stock ecu)

do you have a CEL?

krdshrk

Awesome thanks. Maybe I can get the car to run right tomorrow!

mike6789k

painting the IC was not a smart idea either...

mike6789k

oh yea, dont expect a poor idle to get better with a tune... you have a vacuum leak...

ERIC-TC

Actually Mike has a very good point! In closed-loop the stock ECU should have the car idling like a champ even with 550cc injectors and no tuning. If it's not -then there is an air-leak somewhere. Look at bottom injector o-rings they are hit-n-miss at times.

If you are runnning SUPER stumbling rich then the plugs could be fouled which is not going to help in the smooth idle department...

mike6789k

and I see you dont even have a tranny cooler....


sorry to say this man, but that is a very half-assed install...
