Dammit, I can't see the log because of the firewall at work.

Thanks John. Shovel threw it my way. That does look nice. The boost control is still "coming soon", right?

Its a long story. John and I have had some struggles. Between **** breaking, being 4-5hours away, and some unfortunate life changes things have been moving slow. Im hoping to get back up there soon and get everything finalized. I just don't want to give my full review yet until then. Most of the slowness is just the fact Im custom. Were having to fix and change things that all of these other companies were able to do during the R&D phase.

John, if you still have it...Im sure these fellas would like to see my last dyno pull. I would've posted it but I left the print out at the garage.

Wow interesting.

Never had my car (stock) do anything more than 27 degrees on the dyno, 24-26 was the norm.

Now I can expect 28 regularly depending on coolant temp, which is a lot more stable with the huge radiator.

Wonder if the G's huge front cooling surface area has anything to do with that.

Anyway, thanks for all the info. :tup:

Told you to make that switch

2 part question- One, Ecutek allows VVEL adjustment? Is there gains to be made for boosted cars by dialing out some of the overlap?

Yes

I haven't touched it on a boosted car yet.. I dont feel like paying for a motor

That's the problem. Nobody, myself included, is willing to roll those dice. :rofl2:

It should make more power if we don't blow half the boost out the other side, but I'll be damned if I'm the first one to figure out where it blows up.

VVEL effects ignition timing big time with the oem ecu code.

I did a lot of testing on the NA car, wasnt super impressed with the results.

turbo car it could be different.. I rather work on other things first

John

Could u elaborate on what you mean by this? Are boosted guys gonna see gains or smoother n better drivability?

Boosted guys/gals are going to see a consistent timing curve, unless there is some kind of knock.

Take a look at the log i sent before, the cars timing curve is all over the place, even if you tune the car using OEM maps the car still has the control to change ignition timing for optimization.. which is meant for NA.

I personally rather have a car that has the same amount of power everytime I touch the gas

Sorry put this in the wrong thread? But I have no clue how to read this thing, John those timing logs looked good?
