Upgrade to Utec Firmware v5... Hesitation Issue
Well I upgraded from v2.5b I believe to v5. Now I have hesitation issues when I get into Boost... Not sure if anyone else has this problem.
Its like when I get going and boost gauge hits 0 about to go into boost it bogs... Ive set the delay to 0 and still have issues... Anyone have any ideas?

I kinda remember the tech notes saying you may need to retune.
I'd strongly recommend if you are on stock injectors to put "ECU" in your timing map in the 10% column from 0 to about 3500rpm. |

Make sure you have the right map in the slot used, and the right parameters for the map. If you still have a problem, post a log.

I haven't tuned it at all. I just loaded up the Firmware. Loaded the Parameters, and the Map into Slot 1.
Went for a test drive and notice these issues. |

Ah yeah... 2.5 is really old. You really need to turn on Open Loop Fueling and start from scratch on your fuel map. Your timing map may need some tweaking, though it should be close.

What are your mods? Does it happen at 0psi or a given throttle position?

No turbo upgrade? Either way, ya might wanna try running a stage 4 map with stage 4 parameters and stage 3 boost levels(ie-16.5ish psi).

Oh yeah, VF30. one of the most important part ;-) And I forgot it! Duh... I'm not pushing it driving around. I just notice it when I'm dirving normally... Between shifts it gets to 0 and just bogs so I let off the gas to stay out of boost... It should be smooth transistion... |

Well I decided to get my car professionally tuned next week. I talked to the tuner and told him about the issue I'm having. I got some logs, and notice that around 2500rpm and 2700rpm Injection Duty Cycle hits about 75%! and drops back down to normal at 3000rpm! Its when I usually feel the bog/hesitation into boost. This is about 12% throttle.
Well the tuner said i'm not the only one with that issue. There seems to be alot of other WRXs and a 350 with this issue when they upgraded to v5 firmware. Now one thing he did ask was about my intake pipe. I'm using a pipe that holds the sensor from pepboys. But the tuner suggested I go back to v4 firmware and contact TurboXS to get it. So I called TurboXS after speaking with the tuner. The tech made me check my parameters, and settings and they were all good. And he also asked about my Intake pipe... But he didn't suggest I go back to v4 firmware. But told me I should get a new intake pipe.... Wondering what kind of pipes people using out there... Anyone have any input on this? |

I recently upgraded the intake pipe, and the firmware to v5.0 acouple months ago and been driving around with this problem. First I thought it was the BOV so I went back to Stock and recir back into intake. But still had issue. Then thought I has boost leak. But can't really check for boost leak... I just swapped maf sensor with my buddies WRX, and drove the same... I just purcahsed a Turbo XS intake pipe. Going to see how it works out. I should have it this Monday. Here is a log from MPS Utec Logger LogMap: IDC (Injector Duty Cycle) MAP/RPM 0 10 20 30 40 50 500 0 0 0 0 0 0 750 3.9 0 0 0 0 0 1000 5.5 0 0 0 0 0 1250 6.9 0 0 0 0 0 1500 12 0 0 0 0 0 1750 18 0 0 0 0 0 2000 10.1 8.9 0 0 0 0 2250 70.6 10.4 0 0 0 0 2500 75.1 12.4 0 0 0 0 2750 14.1 13.9 0 0 0 0 3000 15.3 15.9 0 0 0 0 3250 15.4 19.4 0 0 0 0 3500 0 21.4 24.3 25.5 29.3 31.1 3750 7 15 17.9 19 23.5 31.8 |
