I always love to look at overlays :)
I want to have fun with it, just gotta get the oil mess fixed haha. Yea we didn't really push it at all I don't think, 30ish psi is kinda a lot for the compression but not crazy imo. I think with a blouch wga like i had before this thing would pick up 3 psi everywhere and be beast mode.

Nope ;)
Oh also I let Shane know I would wait for real E85 to push it a bit more so this is a true straight E70 tune, so I think another 30whp is still in this on a not ragged tune but who knows.
I just want a nice flat boost curve, 28psi all the way out. The tapering shit that we get on stock frames for the X sucks. The 8/9's can hold way more out up top. I was hoping the open dump would help a bit with that to get rid of some back pressure but doesn't look like it.
PS. car is pretty loud now, lol.

Holy shit your two cars make like the exact same power. Overlay of boost plots pretty plz? ;)
The EF4 seems pretty laggy, or is that just in the tune?

Please do us all a collective favor and dont push your tune for a like a year. Mitsustyle sincerely would like to see your car at some meets and not getting worked on in the garage.
:cheer:

Did you heavily pretension your WGA? Once Andrew did that his EF3 held boost MUCH better.

We started with Shanes good mivec tables at first and I asked him after the first run, when did that hit 20psi and he replied, like 1800 rpms, lol :)
We had to dial mivec back big time in order to not get compressor surge or whatever we were getting. We could just not get enough fuel in there until it was slowed down. So yes, spool was slowed.

LOL, I hear ya, not planning on it anytime soon. I guess I didn't mean push it, but do an actual E85 tune vs. an E70 one.

The wga didn't have like any adjustment what so ever. There was only like 3 threads. Chris said they did that already at MAP for me so I didn't bother. I am not worried about it anyway. It is making awesome power already where its at.

Actual E85 is available so rarely(limited timeframe), it seems like a waste to tune for it. Do you have a content monitor to know what your mixture is in your car at any given time?

Nope, I would love the zeitronix one but its $$$$.
Honestly the only reason to retune for it is I am curious about the difference. I've seen some pretty big jumps.

Just got word, car is fixed and ready to rock:) well Shane needs a bit more time with it.
Here is what Danny said:
Big mess! small easy fix!** There is a bolt/plug that goes into the timing cover just above the crank damper.* What I think it is is an access hole to see something with the Timing chain tensioner, (but you can't see anything).* That came out and that's where it was leaking.* Got a new plug in there and sealed it up and everything is dry.* I think the wetness I saw on the pan when I changed the oil was probably some oil that was running down from there as the plug backed out and then on the dyno there was enough vibration to cause it to work the rest of the way out.* The torque spec is pretty light on that, so I sealed it up and tightened it a bit tighter than what the spec is.* I don't foresee any other issues with it.*
