hey guys, I finally got my EVO VIII FMIC hooked up in my car and all of the piping done!!!!!!!

after some data logger runs this week this thing should run pretty damn good.... it is all mandrel bent 2 1/2" plumbing and looks pretty decent. I'll have to post up some pics when it isn't shitty outside.

Never heard of using an EVO FMIC on a DSM... should be nice! Please do post some pics too... I'd really like to see your setup.

Glad to hear that Ben! That just means it will be a lil faster at the track, HUH? LOL!
NO seriously I am glad to hear you finally got it done. I anticipate pictures of this beast!

Awesome Ben! Still up for those pictures with my car?

absolutely.... as soon as I can get some time to get together with ya for the shoot

Well, I've got to get mine to start first. Should be ready in no time though. Should look good with my new IC.

FMIC or did you put the supra sidemount on?

Hehehehe, that's for you to find out!

Ahhh man.....

Hmmmm.... guess I'll have to ask your gf next time she's over....

Let's just say that the only thing remaining that IS stock is the turbo.

Sounds like it's time for a bigger turbo.

Soon enough Rob.

the only thing that I seem to be having a problem with is tuning.

I am making small adjustments with my SAFC II, but it seems that no matter how much I adjust I still hit fuel cut at about 6,000 RPM.

am I just not adjusting it enough or is there something else I need to do.... fuel cut is very annnoying.

I have been thinking about an eprom ECU with a custom burnt chip, but what can I do until I aquire one???

I also have the 2G style GM MAF translator that has adjustments too... is there something I need to do there???

I plan to do some data logging pulls this week, maybe that will tell me what I need to do.

***BUMP, cause I need to know what to do here***

should I just lower the boost untill I can get a eprom with the burnt chip???

What do you have boost set at?

boost guage shows 14-15 PSI, before the FMIC was hooked up (did not move boost controller) guage showed 16-17 PSI and car ran fine.

I would get an eprom and then get a hold of ncgalant for some tuning. are you logging when your making changes to the AFC? in case your not sure when you adjust the AFC +% it leans it out and -% richens it up. just make sure you log you can kill a motor easily with and AFC, I learned the hard way.

Hey Ben, Did you do a boost leak test yet? That is the only thing I could think of for your lose of boost and fuel cut so early.

yes.... boost leak showing up at injector seals... but that seems to be it... but that leaked before too.



I was told opposite on that... and the adjustments made sense seeing as +ing the safc on the side mount made the car backfire through the exhaust (indicating rich) and -ing it made it fuel cut (indicating lean)

no I have not been logging on most of my adjustment mostly cause I do not understand the logger and what all of the jargon means on there

all I know is the according to the logger I am upwards of 130% injector duty cycle

130% is not good Ben sounds like you need to upgrade your fuel system and get an Eprom.

where are the pics?

what size injectors are you running? You're on a 16G right? You should swing by my place some time and I could give it a look.

if your maxing at 130% chances are your knocking aswell, I would run a log and post it up, or better yet hit miami up on his offer. either way i would stay out of the go pedel untill you get it tuned. if you are looking for an eprom don't over look a GVR4 eprom all you have to do is swap the board in to your ecu case.

Looks like some 550cc injectors, Walbro 255 LPH pump, some -6AN fuel fittings, Paxton AFPR, logger, SAFC, and GM MAFT.

I'd say at least some 650cc injectors (or larger) and an Eprom should take care of the problems you're having now.

At 16-17 psi, he shouldn't be running 130% on 550's. There are some tuning/boost leak issues there that need to be worked out. Visit miami.

SAFC help

thats what I will do... thanks.

Miami, you have a PM
