What does it matter? Just correct it through the ectune software by saying that 0% throttle = .47 volts. Problem solved.

The only way I know how to fix it is to upgrade to a 44mm waste gate. If you have a 4-1 merge collector and a 38mm wastegate it is almost guaranteed to creep on lower boost levels. I have to explain to customers all the time that tuning or a boost controller can not fix a creeping issue.

You will never get it to be 100% rock solid. It is not Calvin's, eCtune's, or your fault. I have tuned vehicles on about 15 different types of software and I ALWAYS see small fluctuation in afr's at idle. Do not get me wrong, a small blip from 14.4 to 14.8 is ok, but if it is jumping a whole point o...

I do not know how many times this had to be covered before people will understand. You can not tune a car unless EVERYTHING, (not half or all but one) is working 100% correctly. Fix every issue with the car before you even hook a laptop to it. This mean all check engine lights, oil leaks, and any ot...

No, thats not how I do it. I usually start with 1.25 to 1.5 retard per psi. Once im on the dyno I start to look at the torque curve. You do not want to just add timing to the whole map, you have try and add timing where the power curve looks like it is dipping down goes flat or does not look right. ...

He was not saying to not use the 4 bar for boost. He was saying that your block will come apart if you try to run 4 bar worth of boost on your stock motor.

Seriously, Put the wideband and highlight the whole non vtec map and adjust fuel by -10% until it is close. If you fry your wideband with 10 days of 10:1 afrs I would be surprised. Your acting like you only have 5 minutes of wideband usage. HOOK IT UP.

Battery offset will usually not have a problem while the car is running under load. Usually bad battery offsets will show themselves when your car is at an idle and an electrical load (ex. fan coming on, turning on headlights, ac etc...) causes your car to die. Another indication of bad battery tabl...

I too have pulled 3 sets of these cams out of motors that they have destroyed, OBX FTL. If someone calls about a tune I usually go over their setup on the phone before they come out. If cheap cams are part of their mods I tell them I wont touch their car until they are fixed. Usually the damage has ...
