So that was the end of round 1. Round 2 is basically bringing this beautiful machine to the level that she belongs at.
Most know I've been a long time critic .... put politely, honestly I can't stand the fucking PFC and people didn't actually still buy them constantly, I would've rather put a few .45ACP's through the damn box as it literally cost two engines in this car. So after Andy drove her around on a very rough tune and making 2psi he was hooked. The engine I build completely changed the dynamics of the car and he wanted more. After some chatting and decision making we decided on the AEM Infinity 506 for a variety of reasons.
A few of them include ENGINE PROTECTION!!!!! Boost trim, closed loop fuel, knock control, traction control, launch control and the list goes on and on. I think Andy's comment was something along the lines of, soooo this ECU will make it drive like a $100k Porsche? Yes.... basically
A few of the other things in store for round 2 (which should be nearing the end in two weeks time) Boost trim, so we can go from ~5psi to 22psi with a simple twist of a knob, Actual IDLE control because lets face it, the PFC fails miserably in this regard, traction and launch control... YAAS!!!! and one of my favorites, real sensor data and the ability to see it without a disgrace of wires running everywhere.
When I was breaking the car in I noticed that the WB wasn't always working..... I opened the glove box and this is what I found.....
After trying to diagnose it I gave up in about .2s and closed the glovebox. The O2 started working again.... yeah... nope nope nop... we're gonna do something about that.
Also, there was a 10*C difference between the PLX gauges and the what the PFC was reporting. The senders are literally less than in inch apart.... yeah... nope nope nope nope.
So after a little searching I found this little guy, the BTI can bus gauge... I love the concept, and can't wait to try it out.
So we're going from all the PLX stuff....
To this little guy
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, and there's this little guy... I love this little guy
