I took my car back to VF Engineering yesterday, and found the cause of my rich woes. One of the boost hoses had come loose, and was causing the car to run really rich. It was a simple fix, and I was on the road again shortly after with a whole different monster.
I managed to get a few dyno runs before I left and the car was amazing. 389 RWHP on a DynoJet. I have been smiling the rest of the day. I can't get this grin off my face. The car is running so strong and so smooth. I took a freeway onramp at full throttle today, and before i knew it i was approaching triple digits. The loose hose made a night and day difference.

 

Glad you were able to find the source of your problem Vince. Those numbers would put a grin on my face as well.

 

Problem solved on the iForged car. Over 100+ kits sold by EVO in 18 months in over 10 countries.

i am not sure that is a merit, especially with the 7th injector.

now if one did something like, re-program the 911(959) ecu to use a new plumbed in 02 sensor on cold start cycle for the car to pass the CA smog test like GIAC did, then that would be a merit.

 

You guys dont no when to quit again its like everyone is a tuner here everyone has something to say on the subject yet none of you actually have any dme or programming on stock dme experience enough said I am glad Vince solved his problems because I kept seeing his car at the dealer often. Added a pic just to make things spicy

 

wow lots of numbers i have no idea what they mean...

 

Joe, it's because you aren't "THE ONE". Makes perfect sense to me.

 

let the" tuners "on this forum reply

 

i want to know since i am in the market for a reflash on my ecu.. of course i want to try to get the best one as possible...

im no neo..im more of a homer...

 

I have always found that those who brag the most, know the least. Knowing how to write a program is one thing, applying it properly is yet another. JDTUNER - If you could do half of what you claim, every tuner would be looking to hire you. The fact is; no matter how perfect a tuned car is, you MUST compromise between safety, drivability and performance. I can add an additional 100 HP to my car in a matter of minutes, but I suspect I would soon have ZERO HP having sacrificed safe parameters for brute power.

I suggest that rather than ridicule the tuners that frequent this board, why not take your superior tuning knowledge and produce a program that GOD himself would be proud of. Otherwise, take your own advice and "know when to quit".

 

 

For those who actually read it I only offered an opinion which by the way i am intitled to becuase THIS IS A PUBLIC FORUM. If no one replied to threads on 6speedonline then there wouldnt be a forum.
I simply made a statement my opinion was based on the facts that were given, based on the fact that car comes to my shop, based on the fact the owner has spoken to me numerous times on looking at his software to see if there is something that could be fixed why because it ran like crap.

America is so unique when it comes to opinions that others have and being an american allows me to be speak freely. However with that comes a responsibilty to take the time and understand what you really saying.

Many here have many professions that are passionate of what they do. 1999Porsche911 I really enjoyed your comment . In my OPINION people like yourself make life worth living.

 

A screen shot from a hex dump of a binary file from a "freeware" software modificaiton program (from xVC) does not suggest anything. .

A list of blwn supercharged boxster motors does, especially if one belongs to the editor of a well known european car magazine. It would be interesting to ask him what he thinks of the boxster SC software.

 

Ouch ouch ouch... I'm no programer by any means but let me say that in the 4 years of owning my TT and the past year playing with other people's cars, I've tried out all of the software options. I've been a hardcore PC tweaker and overclocker so I know a little bit when it comes to Hex'in... I'm just going to say this, there really are very few people on the planet that _can_ tune the Bosch Motronic and Garret is the best there is in the US and up there with the few Euro guys. There are so many naunces and complex scenarios (especially with the Turbo) that only with time and careful testing/development and end user feedback has it got to where it is (from January alone I must have like 80-100 cars that have been flashed and ALL have been super happy). It goes far beyond what a simple AFC/SAFC/boost controller does in terms of upping the boost and adjusting the AFRs and timing.

And you might point to me being biased since I sell/install the EVO/GIAC stuff but long before that I also stepped up and paid (I think around 6K or so) for a 640 program. I had tried other options before that which were cheaper and didn't exactly have much luck. Without mentioning names or throwing mud, their programing which was cheaper was much less advanced and from what I saw was some upping of boost, AFR remap and mostly became peaky. Nobody else that I know of can offer software to match so many different hardware configurations on the 996TT as Garrett. One other important factor is that I don't know of a SINGLE engine failure due to his software in the Porsche world. If you ever talk to him you know that his first priority is keeping engines in tact.

I've seen the TPC system and software-aside I think the issues there seem to be more with the hardware itself from what I've seen. I like the use of alluminium piping, the spearco core and even the idea of the positive displacement blower but until there are actual cars out there with the kit how can anyone have any real world experience with it? I'm sure you'll find the feedback most valuable if/when people buy it.

 

Its hard to say that hasnt been any failures in the world of tuning
by any tuner as for the software dump from a freeware thats a big assumption by your part if you dont believe it then go to www.eurorev.com its my company as well as www.speedinnovation.com if you search on this forum you will find there are people that run my software my 1.2 bar software on there Porsche and some Nasp vehicles if you dont think that I do this for a living then come by or call me my name is Jessie D. If you havent heard of failures its because you dont do it for a living.

I have provided alot of software for Lucent which you guys here know who they are its a shame that people get on this forum with knowledge of what they are doing only to be told by people they never met that they are not for real
