Jason 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2022 I'm pretty sure I didn't go full throttle at all. I'm also not trying to test the weak links in the drivetrain. No need to break anything completely loose before I get to enjoy it for the summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChriSOL 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2022 fuck bud, you did more than most of us. i'm surprised my shit still fires right up and enjoys to rip around the block on demand. having yours do nice things like put down solid dyno numbers is extra. how do you like the link setup?

Jason 0 Report post Posted May 26, 2022 It rips for sure. I wasn't there for the tune. the fueling is tuner selectable, something like MAP, speed density or something else I really don't remember....the shop that finally got it running again set it up one way (or just built off how Mark/Matt/Panic wire set it for first start). The tuner, who prefers LINK/Haltech, changed something about the fueling to run it how he likes it and it wouldn't start. Like it fired up at the shop, drove halfway across the state to the tuner, parked, fired it up again to get it on the dyno, parked to strap it down, tuner went into the fuel map how he likes to do it, changed one setting and it wouldn't start. They're in central PA and I was in SFO about to get on a 5.5hr flight. I was relieved and ecstatic when I was able to get service and texts emails and dyno graphs started rolling in. One of the big selling points about newer ECUs is they're smarter, process faster, handle more data and thus are able to set failsafes so we're not blowing increasingly expensive engines. If you recall, the PowerFC is essentially a programable fuel and timing chip on an otherwise stock ECU motherboard. I really like the BTI CAN gauge the shop recommended to put on. That's another cool feature of the LINK: CAN compatible allows you to run cool new shit. Even a digital dash if you want. It's a real slick new iteration of the PowerFC Commander. I installed it in the clock delete panel from Auto Extrude. I also have an AEM WBO2 in the glovebox, just cause. Not sure if it's gonna get mounted in the cabin or just hidden in the glovebox. I like the uncluttered stock dashboard. http://www.btigauges.com/link--vipec.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
