My A/C has been removed for a long time.

I don't see why the kit would interfere though, I would think it has more to do with the Intercooler and intake piping arrangement.

I have a relocated battery as well.

The AC would still work with this kit. You might have to get creative with the condensor but other than that it would work without issue.

After doing some logging this morning, here are my results after adjusting the GAIN setting on the EBC. Also, David suggested seeing how it did running off the WG only and I have included that result as well.

There are three charts attached. The vertical line is the point where my expected max boost was obtained.

Each run is in 3rd Gear from around 3000rpm

(1) Chart_WGonly.JPG: EBC off (.9 BAR Spring)
(2) Chart_EBC_HighGain.JPG: EBC on, and the GAIN setting high (overboosted)
Imag/attachmentid=3060&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1225212318/imag

(3) Chart_EBC_Current.JPG: EBC on, and GAIN adjusted to desired boost

After adjusting the GAIN settings, the best spoolup achieved was around 5300rpm. Running on the WG only did not appear to improve spoolup.

As a side note:
If you look at the above maps your knock level going into boost is higher than I am comfortable with. I would take a little timing out. On later maps you seem to have dropped the leading timing to 15º from 19º.

I wouldn't change a thing on your map. Ray tuned it. Nobody on this board or any other is more qualified than he is. If you have an issue, call him, not these people on here.

Ernie, this was a learning moment not meant to impugn anyone's reputation especially Ray Wilson.

For those of us who want to learn from Ray... you notice that in the early runs he had 19º leading and approximately a 62 knock. Ray then dropped the leading to 15º and the knock lowered into the twenties.

Seriously. I posted up my dyno chart on the club, and a bunch of guys chimed in saying that my af was too lean. Well, steve kan tuned it, and now that i see yours, well, it looks literally identical, so yeah. Dont listen to people on the internets for tuning advice. They had me all paranoid. And in my case i really dont think 11 to 11.5 is lean at all.

Your first boost resopnse issues really had me wondering about that kit. 5500rpm is pretty late to see 15psi. I bet your much happier now. My .86 hotside 35r hits 15 at around 3800ish and it is a kick in the pants with only 380whp. I bet yours is a blast.

11 to 11.5 is NOT lean, lol....So I rest my case. Leave it to the experts not the keyboard hero's.

Yay, i like you for being a realistic and skeptical person. Kudos to you for not leading these people astray. :icon_tup:

Glad to see its all sorted, Enjoy.
