Logs actually look alright, except for the load ones, somethings going on thats not showing up on the logs, maybe its the weather, 63° and 43° at the top ends of the runs are gettin pretty hot.

Cant see anything to worry about tho.


Rhys, your still on smic yeah? Ryan, you got a fmic yeah? Shows the difference doesnt it.

Rhys, yours is an AMD remap, ryan, whats yours?

Rhys, 0's cf's on a smic is good-ish, shows its not pulling back, but also shows the map is quite conservative on the timing and possibly the boost, as the more boost you run, the hotter the AIT's etc...

i believe mine is jabbb. Phil when we logged 020 mine goes mental as 1 stage. High up the rev's. This mean naf cat. Or can u see my prob at all in these.

 

[PhilW]

Your 020 log looks fine to me, people say you can go up to about 5 on the CF's, i like to keep mine to around 3 or below.

 

[mr_D]

well they started going mad and i thought there was something wrong. But i have lost a little oil. I filled it up about 4 weeks ago and i have done a fair bit of driving since then and its going down to 3 quarter's full!

 

[PhilW]

Doesnt sound like your losing that much oil to be honest.

 

[mr_D]

well quarter of a tank in 4 weeks. Do u think my valve steam seals could be gone?

 

[PhilW]

A quarter of the hashed area on the dipstick in 4 weeks? How many miles?

 

[mr_D]

i have done about 1000. Well i have done 400 since i finished clutch on thursday last week.

 

[rhysox]

phil, thanks for the insight into my logs

yep- AmD stage-1 map, SMIC!

won't matter too much as i'm gonna go for that stage2 full custom map in a few weeks

 

[mr_D]

right i have no smoke. Me and my uncle have just been checking and now i have no smoke! But me and rhys saw that i did last night! Im confused

 

[Forbez]

Rhys, your going Stage 2, with a Smic?

Also, no downpipe?

 

[rhysox]

no mate, i have a laguna cooler to go on, also getting k03s before stage2 and i've got a downpipe/decat that im going to try and fit (hit and miss with the fitting apparently), if i can't get it to fit, will get milltek/blueflame or something before the mapping

 

[PhilW]

With FMIC rhys?

Took mine for a blast last night, laughed my arse off driving it, had fallen out of love with it lately but a good drive makes up for it nicely.

 

[PhilW]

Try this, drive down a hill in gear so the car is holding you back, when you come to the bottom of the hill accelerate out of it, then watch for smoke in your rear view mirror. Make sure you keep it in gear and dont dip the clutch.

You can do it on a flat road but it has to be clear as you need the car to hold you back and slow you down before you put your foot down again.


I could make a massive cloud of blue smoke doing this when my oil seals were gone.

 

[mr_D]

ok. Will try that today. Cheers phil. Will keep u posted. Strange how i had no smoke just now though.

 

[rhysox]

phil- laguna fmic

 

[jivejester]

Still got my milltek for sale

 

[rhysox]

i'd consider buying it if i hadn't already bought one

 

[PhilW]

You'll end up buying it i reckon coz the THS one wont fit. lol.

 

[rogers]

yea i was going to say loads of people have tryed and had no luck with those downpipes
