So i got all the issues fixed with my car finally lol got retuned by 09cobaltss1 with hp tuners and man this thing feels way better now lol still not 100% done with the tune but i love the way hes got the power coming in.... steady power up to redline . ima go see him again friday if possible and finish up the tune...

im curious to see what kinda power i have with the setup but i wanna get on the dyno wen im done tuning but the car pulls great for now and im really happy with my tune and tuner so far... ima see if i can post up some videos soon weather permitting. Ohh and the turbo sounds like a beast lol

 

Never make a post like this without videos! I vote ban!

What were the issues you were having?

 

word

 

sub'd

 

When I eventually get my hand on the EFR...eventually....I would be one of those guy not pushing to its limit. 400/400 and im good!

 

Biggest issue, it was Trifecta tuned....

 

yup thats all im looking to get out of it as well...

and as far as issues, my o2 sensor went bad and i left a line disconnected cousing a vacumm leak lol

thats ture lol

 

Awesome news brother. What psi are you being tuned at for now? I will be joining you very shortly! Good to hear that you're getting things fixed.

Honestly happy I skipped over trifecta. I mean i have his current tune on my k04 but from hearing about the way he gets back to people after a week or so lol. I can't risk something like that if my car isn't running right. Esp if its all in the tuning!

 

pfft hp tuner fanboys

 

Oh! That's an ICEBURN!

 

He wanted to keep it sort of mild so right now I've got him pushing only 23psi. We'll be meeting up this Friday again and cranking up the boost a bit though and having some fun..

The thing pulls like a freakin beast already at only 23psi though!

lol.. really now?

Dry ice baby!

 

So, keeping all the Trifecta vs. HPT stuff out of this...

-How has the experience tuning with the EFR been so far?
-Are there any characteristics of it that you're noticing that would be good to keep in mind when tuning it?
-Did you decide to basically set it to 23psi and start throwing timing at it?
-What is the eventual boost goal?... ~27psi or so?

I'm probably going to be one of those 400hp and stop there guys, but I'm sure many of us would be eager to hear a bit about what seems to work or rather not work with what you're seeing while working with it so far.

 

Great questions as I would like to know for myself as well when I go through this next week!

 

Lol oh ya. I did that with an lol

Well im sure 09cobaltss1 can chime in more on this since he is the one tuning it but my goal is to hit 400 then bring it down a notch to keep things safe and if i can do that watever psi thats were ill like to be for now..
And yes he did 23 psi and threw some timing in there with the meth since thats the amount of boost i had with my trifecta tune.. i think we were at 19 or 20 on the timing with some room to go still... But like i said im sure he can elaborate alot more than me lol

 

Does hp tuners logs show you how much air flow lb/min goes through?

 

i dont know, im sure it does but i didnt ask him or see.. but wen i got my 1st trifecta tune for the efr, vince said he seen 20% more airflow with the exact same psi... i dont know if that helps or answers ur question but yea

 

probably flowing about 35lbs a minute then... crank it up and lets see 44lbs!

 

o subd

 

i'll tell you one thing.. my car is pushing just about 42-44 lb/min and his car is definitely faster then mine lol

 

Hptuners does show you airflow per min per volumetric efficiency and maf lbs per min.

 

no wai!!!@???

 

I was talking to fastgti lol. He asked so I responded.

 

Damn Man, I'm Jealous, I cant wait till I get my own EFR and just like some of you guys stated Im planning on staying right around 400WHP, I think that will be good for me.
