Ok so I got a gauge for my car that reads wideband and timing advance and I would like to know if my car is running fine, it says on the wideband if it gets below 1.0 it's lean, and at the end of the video I am going to upload it shows it getting lean when I do a 3rd gear pull. Also idk anything about timing advancement so I would like to know if it's all normal as well? I just would like some insight on this.

First of all the air fuel is fine. Second I can not tell about the timing on WOT cause i can not see the rpms. Is that LTFT in the bottom right corner? What tune are you on with what mods?

no_ss

iTrader: (2)

Yeah that's long term fuel trim. I can get it to say the rpms below the timing and do another pull if need be.
Hptune for 25psi
Tr10 intercooler
Treadstone charge pipe
Zzp upgraded intake tube with modded air box and k&n filter drop in
Zzp 3" Catless downpipe
Stage 3 clutch

That's about it.

KMO43

Well you want the ltft closer to 0 you're gonna wanna watch knock, timing and with rpm i can see somewhat more about the tune

How can I watch knock? Sorry I'm new to this interceptor-like gauge and monitoring how my car runs. I'll go get another pull tomorrow.

KMO43

I'm guessing change a setting to watch knock I've never used anything like that

Second video link right there
Can't monitor KR
Pull is at the end again.

KMO43

Do another one at night its really hard to see

This isn't another pull but I want to know if the clicking sound every so often is my timing chain tensioner? Or is that just direct injection? I know what direct injection sounds like and that random clicking every few seconds has me worried seeing all this stuff about timing chain tensioners.

Sounds normal to me.

iTrader: (2)

I'll probably buy a new timing chain tensioner anyways because I don't want any problems in the future and I don't know what the previous owner has replaced that needed replaced.

Also every once in a while when I get on it there will be a squeaking noise idk where it's coming from, belt looks new and there's no loose pulleys. Idk if it's a bearing but it's never reoccurring. It only happens every once in a while and idk what it is.

The clicking on the video is normal direct injection sounds

Okay puts me at ease knowing 2 people said the same thing. I know I need a retune because I made a big jump from stock intercooler to a tr10 and an aftermarket charge pipe from treadstone. Idk just real paranoid about my car lately. Thanks btw to all 3 of you that replied. I appreciate it.

You actually don't need a retune for just those mods, but couldn't hurt to get the fuel trims in line.

no_ss

iTrader: (2)

My retuned are free I just have to make a 3-4hr drive to get it done. I think it's running a bit rich because there's some loud backfire that happens often, for example if I rev up to 3-3.5k and double clutch there's a gunshot noise (I am straight pipes) but this is just so loud and happens so often it makes me think there's something wrong with my car. Also my oil had a faint smell of gas to it but I ran the oil a little longer than I like to so idk if that has anything to do with it.

When was the last time you cleaned your air filter?

no_ss

iTrader: (2)

I mean I've had the car since 54k miles and I'm only at 65k and I put a k&n drop in filter in probably around 57k and I haven't cleaned that.

KMO43

Give it a lean I've noticed it run richer and backfire when my filter gets dirty which it does a lot being a cold air at my flow level

no_ss

iTrader: (2)

True. I have the stock air box with drop in filter and modded air box (pretty much holes in it on the bottom) and upgraded intake tube from Zzp. I'll give the filter a clean and see what that does. I did look at it and noticed it was a little dirty looking. Never thought much of it, but seems like a good idea to clean it! I appreciate that.

KMO43

I tuned my car then cleaned the filter and trims were so bad I had to redo the whole thing

Hopefully this evens mine back out.

I watched 10 seconds of your video. The refresh rate of that ultragauge is horrible.

I would only trust it as a rough indicator as to how things are going.

With such a slow refresh rate you won't see quick lean spikes and such.

I have had the clutch dump backfires. Mine was a fuel trim issue. Doing a couple MAF retunes fixed it. Winter gas caused a pretty significant retune for me. Especially running E25. E85 at the pump dropped a lot.

Well I'm in south Florida the coldest it has been this year is 60s so not very cold. Could just need a retune as well. I feel like I made a big change for my tune and my tuner said I'll need a retune when I put my new parts on. I'm on 93 pump gas and I still need to clean my air filter like kmo43 suggested.
