what do you mean ride? there are more parts on the car...more non oem parts=higher probability of a part failing. I have an ewg too btw

oem doesnt always = better
and an ext gate is a spring and a diaphragm, not really parts that fail a lot and there arent really more parts on the car, you switch from an internal gate to an external, you really didnt add more. |

Ringlands generally let go from excessive knock... not too many other possibilities. It probably had to do with heatsoak at the track. Were you icing down the tmic at all? Thanks -- Ed |

yah someone said it was overboost, some people say bad gas, some people think i changed the setup last minute, etc........i know it's not impossible to creep with a ewg, but i didn't do anything different than normal setup wise...nothing was changed, nothign altered, nothing ran funny. Car was running perfectly EVERYDAY until that day at the track. It was decently hot though at the track...but i have no idea why all those days when it was hotter and i was pushing the car more and giving it more chance to creep or overboost and it didn't(from what i saw/heard). Yah my folks don't understand that drag racing is probably the least damaging of the motor sports to the car's. I'm only 23 and this is my dd(other than the motorcycle). So I have to give up my quest for your's and sean's record. no i wasn't icing or anything, got there and let her cool down and then got in line....started smoking up first run 12.9@106.66 thank's ed |

i think it's quite a change going ewg, UR up-pipe for tial 38, mbc vs. Stock boost control......... there is also the manual boost controller, i forgot to mention that when i returned ride500's post. So yah imo there is a lot of factors that can lead the mbc to cause problems in the car and the ewg is run by that mbc. Weather, altitude and other factors can lead to the car hitting target boost earlier or later, etc. and you need to address these changes so the car isn't getting hurt |

how do you figure? you had a wastegate valve before, and you have one now. you had an actuator before, and you have one now. you had an up pipe before, and you have one now. as far as oem being more reliable, generally i would agree, but there are a lot of oem parts that have come off my car to be replaced by something stronger. ken ps a good ball and spring mbc is MORE reliable than any EBC. |

Bad gas is certainly a possibility from the pump, but race gas tends to be pretty darn consistent, so I would highly doubt that as the cause. As far as pushing the car hard before this happened, were you doing so on your race gas map and boost levels or were you on pump gas at that point? I still have my bet on the heatsoak issues at the track. Even though you let the car cool down prior to your run, the TMIC can get extremely hot when the car isn't moving. A very hot TMIC immediately before the run with the resulting knock could certainly result in some serious problems. BTW, I'm 24 so I know where you're coming from with the parents -- Ed Last edited by Equilibrium Tuning; 09-26-2007 at 03:24 PM. |

right, i don't disagree with anything. I just was stating the fact that i don't trust non oem parts, as much as i trust oem. I think if my car had stock boost control i might have been able to avoid my car going kablleeewy, on the same token, it might have had no bearing. you're the man ken, what's up with your setup? |

Having the stock boost control wouldn't have saved you. The ECU only pulls out boost if the IAM drops significantly and it takes quite some time for this to happen. By the time boost was potentially dropped, the damage would have already been done. -- Ed |

Vaus -
Hmmm...I'm 24 and will be 25 in November as well...But what are the chances that your birthday is also on the 25th? Anyway, I like the road dyno plots that you use. It would be nice if all road tunes on NASIOC used the same method to analyze acceleration data. Do you want to share your road dyno with the community so we can start displaying/comparing tunes in a standard fashion? Standards are good in my opinion, as they give a universal reference point. If you are up for it, I'll be the first in line to adopt to your road dyno 'software'. If not, that's cool too. |

Many people have asked to purchase the road dyno software but for now I've decided to keep it proprietary. I've managed to earn some significant credit for the software and the numbers it produces and don't want to spoil that by having people potentially messing with the parameters to skew their graphs one way or another. Remember, its just as easy to change how this software reads as it is with any chassis dyno out there. I have been offering a little service to some people who tune their own cars. They send me logs along with weight and tire info and I send them plots for a small fee. Thanks -- Ed |

speakin about the NAWZZZ, some kid put a 75 shot in his stg 2 sti about two weeks back. If he goes sub 11.5's, i think im gonna try it, lol. Just have to buy another intake manifold because ill have to tap the current one. When and if the motor blows, ill switch the manifolds and use suby's 5yr/60k wrnty In this case, I just think NOS would be soooo cheating, although it would be cool to have. I had it in my integra back in high school, lol. Oh yeah, my high school days of cars that couldnt even break 13's with nitrous, haha. |
