no u do not need the 2.5 map, trifecta can tune with out, also ZZP posted they have a 2bar map that will work aswell, plus u can always tune off the MAF

 

you don't need it ..

 

MAP is used to engage PE. Fueling once PE is engaged is done via MAF

 

sweet i'm gonna put the belt on tomorrow and call cj and see when he can come out and tune it

 

hey everyone sorry about not posting in awhile... no internet due to lack of funds from saving up for the bash(which I sadly wasn't able to attend) so heres a situation report...

1. still have no internet(using uncles comp right now)
2. still waiting on fuel injectors, which caused me NOT to be able to go to the bash... 1st set was lost in the mail, 2nd set which was overnighted ended up in canada on friday morning.
3. 3rd set was shipped out tuesday which means I won't have them until either monday or tuesday. I had thought over the top would go ahead and overnight the third set as well so I can get my car going by this weekend so I don't have to sit at home jacking off cuz I can't go and do anything. rofl.... Its ok I've been waiting 3 1/2 weeks to get my injectors and I can go ahead and wait another week. I guess over the top didn't make it over the top this time and hit the fence while jumping... oh and this is what they said over the phone when I asked if they were overnighting the 3rd set on tuesday

OTTP(josh) "it was to my understanding since the lone star bash had passed you didn't need them right away so I just sent them regular shipping"

Now before anyone says "well you should've ordered them a long time ago" I ordered them on feb 9th so they can get here the next weekend so I can get the car running two weeks from them which was the weekend before the bash..... oh well....

so yeah when I get my injectors and internet again lol I'll post up tons of pics, vids, and 1/4 mile times.

c yall later

oh and this is how we put the belt on... I lifted on the throttle body side of the sc while john slipped the belt over the sc pulley... tensioner was not compressed during install... do you yall have a link for that tensioner tool? I will most likely buy it for future belt removal/installation

 

ahhh lol that sucks, my wideband took a while to come in, but only a week in a hald bc they had to order more, it wasnt in stock; sucks about the injectors though,i mean u paid overnight, i dont see why they didnt opvernight them again the thrid time, u still want to get your car running lol

 

what are you guys running for the tensioner setup? im using the zzp oversize but the stage 2 belt doesnt fit, so im forced to use a larger belt that slips, im going to get a custom tensioner pulley made since i cant get a smaller belt

 

the ZZP oversize one was made to run with a stock sized belt. An oversized pulley and a stg2 belt shouldnt be necessary until your in the 2.5" range

 

the stock belt didn't fit so i went to auto zone and bought one from a volkswagen they told me but it was 72.5 inches which worked untill they rubbbed on my tensioner and my sc pulley so i ordered a hub and the bolts and buying a pulley 2.9 from will should be here quick i hope i paid ott for 3 day shipping

 

you lost me....grammar please

 

i'm using the one from Rebel but I don't recommend it. Whenever I get around to it I'm fabbing a new one up. Nothing wrong with it, just not worth 100 bucks.

and my IC pump bracket snapped. pos.

 

hey everyone just wanted to let yall know i got my injectors in on monday. We put them on tuesday and flashed the computer with the trifecta tune.... we go to turn the car on and well it turns on but... it dies right away, as if not getting gas. we waited til friday to call vince and see if we can datalog with him and well on friday night when we go to turn the car on. it doesn't even crank

anybody have an idea why the car doesn't wanna start? We checked all the relays already, and its a brand new battery as well.

 

wow wtf ur not the first to report this issue in the middle of their build, hope its not tune related, now how did u do your wiring harness? u cut and soder? or howd u do it, pull the fuel rail out with inkectors, turn the key, that will tell u if they are sparying or now, ull know from the fuel all over the engine bay

 

this is really weird that this stuff has been happening

 

yeah i emailed vince on it, this is some weirdo stuff...i dont want this to happendon my build, bc in mine there wont be no mistakes, no sodering issues bc im repin'n the harness perfectly, no spark issues bc my ignition system is fine; if mine failes its tune related

 

we soldered all our wiring, just don't have any idea whats causing the car not to crank

good luck with that

 

done ths before, there wont be no mistakes, we know everything, its just bolts, and im not sodering, im re pin;n the damn harness to avoid injector issues, all electrical stuff will be done by than eg wideband; gauges etc

 

this is very strange cuz my setup was a totally custom setup that he's never done before.. and I'd never done before lol and it fired up the first time then again I have plug and play 60's

it seems like the only 2 things that are similar with all the cars having said problems is not plug and play injectors .. and vinces tune..

i'm wondering if there's an issue with the injectors not sending the right signal back and forth so it's causing his tune to not give enough fuel.....

it's very strange that this is happening now

 

oh the injectors are ev6 plug and play for the 2.4

 

oh the injectors are ev6 plug and play for the 2.4

 

umm then what did you solder?

lol


well i'm wondering if it has to do with you soldering in general then..

 

me too, the other gusy soder'd them too...and my buddies 2.2sc i repin'd his harness for him so no sodering was required...and his ran fine on the initial start up

 

we did the throttle body, and maf sensor

 

we soder'd the tb and the maf too, but car still ran fine, didnt know they made injector plug and play into our harness except for the ones that are to small, eg 33lbs and the 39lbs that ZZP carries...although i think they have 60's that can plug and play in

 

the plug and play 60s are for the 2.4 only

also how do check the oil in the supercharger
